Weekend Open Thread
Good Morning!
Thursday’s game wasn’t pretty my any means but our favorite team won with no major injuries going into the mini-bye. I had some choice spoiler tagged words to say during the game (as usual) hopefully some of the team issues will get straightened out with the break. I’m working on my “honey-do” list this weekend, and have decided to smoke a brisket for dinner Sunday, what are your plans? Meanwhile, let’s carry on with our news and links open thread full of beer recommendations, nap strategies, crock pot and smoker recipes. Drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and go ahead and have a lunch beer, it’s Saturday and I’m having one too!

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:
-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Leave the gender hatred at the door
-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
-Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
-No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
-If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
-While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.
With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open. Belly up & tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waiter, enjoy the mini-bye and Welcome Aboard!
