I must be entering the busy season for somebody who is a church musician (it's Lent and upcoming Easter time) and a fundraising data analyst jumping into the final months of a major project. I did not even realize TFB was down until 12 or so hours after it happened

My organ tech installed heavy-duty "dispose of complainer" stops. The old ones were wearing out too quickly.
As for the lift.. theater organists get all the fun.

Re: Northland10
Sooo.... I have not mentioned this yet, but I guess I should.
As mentioned elsewhere, I went on a trip for my aunt's burial in Kansas than a few days in Colorado. The burial went very well (I sang Silent Noon by Vaughan Williams and was in especially good voice for it). I got to see the remnants of the old farm and spent time with family. The next day, I drove out to Nederland, Colorado. I was fine but later in the day, I felt really tired. I assumed it was just the stress of the whole event finally dropping, and I needed to sleep (I expected that). By the next day, I realized it was more.
COVID.
So, isolating as much as possible, I remained there through my days, moved to North Platte NE for a couple of days (could order in deliver there) and finally made it home. I have been out of CDC isolation requirements for a bit now, but still not 100%. It was mild but still, annoying.
I have not had a beer in over a week.

Sorry to hear that, get some rest and I hope it passes quick and as painlessly as possible.

Re: Northland10
While I am still getting the energy back, have the stupid cough and post-nasal annoyance, unable to sing much yet, and have not had a beer, I did take a test out of curiosity (by CDC guidance, I was done with isolation).
NEGATIVE!!!!
NEGATIVE!!!!

Re: Northland10
I thought you took a taste test of beer and it tasted negative.

Re: Northland10
Wait, beer can be negative?
No, I think he tested negative for beer, poor feller.

Re: Northland10
when my husband got covid he was sick as a dog for about 3 weeks. He lost his sense of taste, but it all came back pretty quick except for beer. It was about six months before beer tasted normal again.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Fri Sep 09, 2022 3:02 pm I thought you took a taste test of beer and it tasted negative.

Re: Northland10
Have you not tasted Old Milwaukee?
Or Australia's XXXX (Four X)?
Or Mexico's Corona?
Lucky you.
Has everybody heard about the bird?

Re: Northland10
If Old Milwaukee had a taste, I would be worried. Oh, and I will never be that desperate for a beer.
There is a Two-Heartes Ale in my fridge that is crying. It is feeling alone and abandoned.

Re: Northland10
After I totally exhausted my body caring for my recently deceased MIL when Hubby could not lift her cuz he had surgery, I could not drink any alcohol of any kind. My body rebelled. The alcohol tasted TERRIBLE.
Thankfully that situation resolved itself.

Re: Northland10
On the plus side, the lack of an appetite (and probably lack of a nightly beer) and I have lost around 6-7 pounds. While I am pleased to have dropped a few, I would not recommend this for a diet plan.

Re: Northland10
I had a Two-Hearted Ale (a really good IPA from Bell's) last night. It tastes like a Two-Hearted Ale.
What is sort of odd is that, while I taste stuff fine, the interest in food and drink is less right now.
