Well, here we are again for another WRUP. Another busy weekend for me. Today will be the second wedding I'll attend in the past two weeks... for the same family. This month has been super busy because along with regular work scheduling I've also been helping them get things ready for party time. The first one took place at a local venue but this one will be at the mother of the bride's house and man it's been a lot of work. But it'll be a fun time. The groom has made a beautiful three tap bar top out of a downed redwood he milled from his dad's house. The kegs are on ice as of yesterday and I'll be pouring for folks in shifts as the evening goes on. The last time there was a wedding in this same location was about five years ago and there were about 75 people that came. Which is plenty of people to have in a back yard, even it's a pretty good sized yard. This time we're looking at a hundred and thirty people. I think it's going to be crowded but there's plenty of space once the reception starts. Anyway I'm rambling and nothing I'm saying has to do with actual WRUP news, so let's get to it. Read more

Well good morning everyone, it's another WRUP day and I'm actually here for it, for a few hours at least. Today I'm attending two events. One here just a couple miles from my place at Sierra Cider. They're doing a sort of chill outdoor farmer's market sort of thing with some music and food that sounds like a nice time. Then this afternoon Deadwood Tattoo shop is holding an open house event with beer, food, music and raffles for free tattoos and/or piercings. Between those two events my day is full.

I also have to look for a new water pump for my truck because of course yesterday it started leaking from the weep hole and squealing. I picked up a bottle stop leak with pump lube hoping it'll get me by for a few days and I'll just have to carry water with me. It's sketchy to run like that though. Potential for break down is high. Busy, busy, but time for a WRUP. Read more

It's WRUP time. It's also brew-pub party time where I'm at so I'm going to get this out there and get myself on the way to enjoy a nice day. Read more

Good morning everyone. It's me, Scrooloose, and I'm here with the WRUP. Surprise!

I missed last week because I was so busy. The sun came out and suddenly everyone wants me at their houses to work on various things. I'm happy for the work and the pay, but thank goodness I'm taking a couple of days off because I'm smoked. I have friends here from out of state and I think we're all going to get together and hit up some brew-pups this weekend so I'm looking forward to that. But you're not here to read about my boring middle aged life, so let's go to the WRUP. Read more

Welcome to another WRUP everyone and here's hoping your weekend isn't going to be nearly as busy as mine. I have been working more or less non-stop since last weekend and this weekend promises no different through at least part of Sunday. As a result I'm taking Monday off completely and doing as little as possible so I can get some legit recovery time in because my body is very tired from everything I've been doing. I'm not complaining though, it's that time of year and frankly I'm glad to be out doing all this stuff now and not when it's hot and dry. Anyway we're not here to talk about my boring-ass work life. Let's look at some WRUP. Read more

Welcome to another Saturday. This is going to be a busy weekend for me so let's just get right to the WRUP. Read more

Good morning everyone and as usual it's WRUP time. Read more

Well, here we are on a long awaited sunny Saturday in CA. Or at least here I am. We're all done with COVID, thank goodness and here's hoping for no more of that garbage. Let's look at some WRUP related things. Read more

Good morning everyone. CA is washing away. I have had two days of pretty torrential rain and somehow I still have about a foot of snow on the ground from the last storms. Tons of flooding all around me. Thankfully not here because I'm on a hill so I'm only seeing minor issues like overflow from the creek running across the driveway and overloaded drainage from the road. My dad finally had his heart surgery, which is awesome. What's not awesome is that he came home and promptly tested positive for COVID. So he and my mom both have it. Somehow I'm still negative. The VA sent him a dosage of Paxlovid overnight via UPS but with the storm they couldn't get here. Now it's Saturday and UPS doesn't run on Saturday or Sunday so unless they passed it off to the USPS we won't see it until Monday. Paxlovid is supposed to be taken within a few days of symptoms so I'm not even sure he'll get any benefit from it. He's not seeing very bad effects yet anyway, a light cough and that's about it. Mom, on the other hand, is hit pretty hard. She went from feeling fine to coughing, to bed ridden. Her Paxlovid did come in and we managed to get it from the pharmacy along with a rescue inhaler and some other stuff to keep her okay. Somehow I'm just riding out the storm and staying negative while testing. Everyone is masked up, I'm quarantining and we're just keeping things as sanitary as possible. Read more
