Spent 6 hours at the emergency vet tonight only to get some pretty shitty news. I took this photo of Sable on Saturday up at the cabin. Aka her happy place. And within just a few days of this photo we'll be saying goodbye. I'm really at a loss here.

Here's a map of how iron ore mined in Minnesota moves (the red lines). Note the markers for where steel facilities are located, they're where they are because you have to move the stuff on ships. There are no steel mills in Iowa of any size because you can't get the fucking stuff it's made of there

Was really looking forward to riding into work in this fog but kid #1 woke up with a cold and torpedoed those plans.

New bike project. My dad's childhood bike, a Schwinn Typhoon has been hanging on the ceiling of my parents garage for decades. He gave me the green light to repaint it and turn it into a Klunker style mountain bike. This is gonna be fun.

Currently drinking a Westmalle Duo from a growler I got filled this morning at The Whistle Punk. Seriously gonna miss this joint when it closes. Where else can you find a selection of beers like this in the Northwoods of WI? I guess nowhere.

Since the Fair starts tomorrow I have a question. How is it that nobody has ever done deep fried Minnesota sushi on a stick? Or does it exist? The Perfect Pickle almost has it with the cream cheese but no ham.

Both our Minnesota State Fair exclusive beers will be at The Hangar. Make sure you grab them both. Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp is brand new this year and will be poured alongside last year's fav, Bad Apple Honeycrisp Lager. See you at the fair!

In an unbelievable moment, Jake Lang and vehicles full of bodyguards assaulting the media and counter protesters were just escorted down the sidewalk in front of Minneapolis city hall in their vehicles by MPD.

Grab your lederhosen Festbier is hitting the twin cities market in 6-packs this week! While the Festbier's darker, maltier counterpart, the Märzen, is more popular here in the U.S, this is typically the beer of choice in Munich during Oktoberfest. Honey & toast malt flavors, with a light bitterness

Another day commuting down West River Pkwy. Another day with some asshat trying to run me into the curb then me flipping them off. Pretty much a daily occurrence now. Drivers on that road are so impatient. It's a 20mph parkway for fuck sake!

Public works has reduced the driving space so much that you almost can't do anything but drive the speed limit past this elementary school. This is outrageous. It's like they have no concern for the people who left home 5 minutes late to drive their kids to school two towns over.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

Ashley Brouillette told the Portland Press Herald in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that her ex-husband called admitting to the shooting and defending his actions. The Press Herald reviewed a screenshot of incoming calls Ashley Brouillette received from her ex-husband’s current wife’s Facebook account on Wednesday.

“He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,” Ashley Brouillette said. “I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.”

She said she has seen videos of Brouillette on the scene of the shooting and confirmed that was him on scene, telling him: “nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.”

“In his head it’s justified. He’s unusually calm about it,” she said.

Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health. She said he was abusive in their relationship. She said that she’s been inundated with calls, since reports of Brouillette’s involvement began circulating online, threatening her and her family.
