Back in the mid 80's, Stroh's came out with the Liberty Pack. 30 cans of beer. 6 kids could have a good time each getting down 5 beers, or....5 kids could have a better time each with 6 beers.
We had a case the night before the SAT's. There was only 4 of us.
I really wish the SAT's were graded on a curve, 'cause I was dropping Stroh-ski bombs the entire time, and I know I brought down the scores of everyone in a 10' radius of where I was sitting.

I remember a lot of these. Some of them tasted worse going down than they did coming up.

There have been plenty of bad beers over the years. All these beers were available in Minnesota as 3.2 bunny-p---. The 3.2 versions of the bad beers were the absolute worst!!!!
North Star 3.2 and Falstaff 3.2 came from the same pipe to my recollection.
If you had frozen 3.2 beer that sat under the booze bridge over night on a -20F night there was tough duty ahead. You could place the frozen beer on the intake manifold of your 57 Pontiac, drag main for a few hours and have 3.2 beer slushes. Bad.

You guys bring back my memories of growing up in Okla. where all beer was 3.2 due to Oklahoma laws. Back in the 60's and 70's we would go to Texas for the stronger stuff and bring it back in the trunk risking bootlegging charges if more than 3 cases on board. Coor's was the choice beer but pearl and Falstaff was the cheapest I remember.
Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.

I loved those Falstaffs in the short/fat little bottles. I "think" we had a brewery here in New Orleans, as well. The vertical tower with "Falstaff" in neon letters still stands even though they've turned the brewery into condos.

Beer is good for you.
Went to Bremer Pond to check out my house and minnows. We have had a warm spell with two days of rain mixed in. The ground water rose and lifted the ice pack up with it. There is at least a foot of open water around most of the pond. The ground water level will fall and the ice will go down to it's proper position. Found a spot where I could get on the ice with my auger.
My portable house was not full of ice from the rain. The minnows in a sinking minnow bucket in about 3 feet of water are alive. Ice is down from a high of 10.5 inches to about 6 inches.
A "breather hole" developed about 20 yards from my house. There is a kitchen table size hole in the ice. Told Dwight so he won't go out on ice with the Mule in this area.
No fishing, just a reconnoiter.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

And a few Hamms?

Question: After reading on this forum about "super cooling" a pond from too much aeration and that fish don't do well in near 32 degree water, I was wondering why my minnows in a sinking minnow bucket in 2 feet of water less than ten feet from Dwight's circulator are all alive and ready to go fishing? The water can't be much over 32 degrees in this spot. Heavy ice all around except for the open water area created by the circulator.

Different fish species have different cold water tolerance. What species are the minnows?

Stick - you might be surprised if you measure the water temperature in or around the minnow bucket in the circulation current. It might be warmer than you think. Fish can live in 32F water but they are stressed to some degree but usually not enough to acutely kill them.

Sounds like a research project stick.
Drop a thermometer in the minnow bucket the next time you go fishing. Inquiring minds want to know!

"Not enough to acutely kill them" That's a classic. Maybe for PBF discussions we need to delineate different degrees of being dead. We could come up with a whole new series of acronyms for it. For example: acutely dead = AD damn near dead = DND wish they were dead = WTWD etc.

"Acutely kill them" means a rapid kill as opposed to a slow dying over several days or weeks. It came from the concept of acute and chronic illness. We are all chronically dying the day we are born. Dying just takes longer for some compared to others.

Been out to the pond four times in the past couple weeks. Action slow, but improving. Picking up some nice 11.5 - 12 inch crappie. Got 4 nice healthy bass yesterday. Water is clearing so hope for a good late season abounds.
