Good ale, that. Handcrafted, I'm guessing?
What you can't tell from my profile (but might if I ever take time to make it more extensive):
I come from English/Irish stock dating to the mid-1600's when our family fled to Ireland to evade religious persecution by the English Crown. After immigrating to the New World in the early 1800's the family gradually moved West, through what was then called "Indian Territory", until we arrived at the West Coast in the 1920's. The deterioration of the land of our chosen settlement has been of grave concern to me, and I have determined to fight rather than flee; though this growns increasingly perilous as the tyrrany of the governing class increases. Lately reduced to the status of a squatter (ref. Kelo), our position seems more precarious than at any time since The Founding.
I have invested fifteen years in the practice of CAD/Mechanical Design and Engineering, which has been fulfilling enough, until recently. To quote old Smee, "I've 'ad an apostrophe!" In the parlance of the moderns: a paradigm shift. I suppose it is a function of maturity, but that and other more personal events have aligned such that satisfaction with my work has evaporated nearly completely as I more clearly view it's significance in light of life, family, friends and future. Frankly, nobody really cares what becomes of ECO# 248318. I'd rather stay home with my wife and kids, work on a book I've been mulling over ("The Complete Philistine: A Spotter's Handbook"), and engage other diversions of a more personally satisfying nature.
So, I come here. I knock the mud and societal detritus from my boots, shake the dust of battle out of my cloak, and haul up to the bar where I know there's always something interesting to discuss. And, when the Internet ends (again), I know that, thanks to the ZOT of some mind-numbed troll, we will probably be reincarnated again, by the grace of JimRob and his prophet Admin Moderator, may they live long and prosper.
