Florida; The state Department of Health proven to be incompetent and inept in its daily phone-call update to victims of CoViD-19.  Florida has a law saying infected people can’t be released until receiving clearance from Dept. of Health, yet those daily calls aren’t happening: “It’s unfortunate that those check ins aren’t happening the way that they’re saying they are but, obviously, I understand given the current circumstances, things are falling through the cracks. Everyone’s spread thin. I understand that. It was just a little upsetting to see them even saying on the press conferences, ‘Hey we’re calling people every single day’ and I didn’t receive a single call.”-Gabriella Bivona, recovered victim who after more than a month went to local news media for help

New looks for the old Monogram Beer Wagon

Video

http://thepastpresented.com/index.php/tag/monogram-models/

The classic Tom Daniel’s Monogram Beer Wagon (also issued as a Cola Wagon under the Revell-Monogram brand) was first issued in 1967.  Apparently, it was last issued in 2016.

Photo by me.

I built two Monogram Beer Wagons as xmas gifts for two guys who love their specific brands of beer; Pabst and Iron Horse Brewery’s Irish Death.

Photo by me.

I used aftermarket Pabst decals meant for a 1970s gasser/drag racer.  Alcohol based chrome paint was used on the headers, works good but is expensive.

Photo by me.

The markings for the Irish Death were cut from Iron Horse Brewery’s 36 square-root package, thinned down and pasted with clear setting glue.  Then I covered with lots of clear paint.

I tried using different brands of gold spray paints, all claiming to look like gold chrome.  None of them lived up to their promise.

Video, the real 1:1 scale Beer Wagon:

Notice that the front axle doesn’t sit properly on both kits.

These old kits have a lot of fragile parts.   Besides the plastic chains being prone to breakage, the rear light posts also like to break.  On the Pabst Wagon I had to make new posts out of skinny plastic sprues.   I drilled holes in the chassis to fix them in place, they turned out to be sturdier.

I got this cool stretch version from a builder in Canada.

The kool thing about these old kits is that they’re great starting points for kool kustoms.

Cool looking kit, but fiddly construction with instructions that don’t help.

REVELL 1937 FORD PICKUP OR WHY MODEL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE WRONG!

The hood got a clear coat of Plaid acrylic matte. The inner lip of the front fender wells had to be sanded slightly thinner so the Bullet Mustang tires would fit inside. I think the problem was caused by the way I mounted the disc breaks on the front suspension.

Great Reneger: Deployments so common even beers are named after them

“This is why we’re in business. As the poet Ice Cube put it, ‘today was a good day’ for us. To be able to work within our muse to create a beer for the unit is one of the coolest things that we’ve done so far.”-Jared Beville, co-owner Red River Brewing Company

When the Louisiana Army National Guardsmen of the 39th Military Police Company, 773rd MP Battalion, 139th Regional Support Group learned that they would be deploying overseas (location not revealed), their family readiness group and unit leadership asked if Red River Brewing Company would have a beer brewed for them.

A schwarzbier (black beer) was chosen and named Fear the Dark after the 39th’s motto, it even has the unit’s black panther logo.

U.S. FOOD CRISIS: A LITTLE ROUNDUP WITH THAT BEER?

Food Crisis: 500 years of German Beer Purity flushed by Monsanto!

On the 500th Anniversary of the Beer Purity Law, a new study revealed that a weed killing chemical created by Monsanto is contaminating Germany’s beers.  

Germany’s beer purity law say only water, malt grains and hops are allowed.

The Environmental Institute of Munich discovered dozens of German beers contained glyphosate ranging from as little as 0.49 micrograms per liter all the way up to an incredible 29.74 micrograms per liter!  Germany’s water laws state water used for beer making allows for only 0.1 micrograms per liter!

Oh Ja! Angela Merkel liebt ihr Glyphosate Bier!

The German Brewer’s Association pointed out that glyphosate (the main ingredient used in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer) has been used so prolifically in Germany, for decades, that it’s “found virtually everywhere.”

Last year, the UN’s World Health Organization finally identified glyphosate as a potential cause of cancer.

The Umweltinstitut study blames the use of Germany’s version of Roundup on wheat and barely crops for the high levels of weed killer contaminating what was once Germany’s purity pride & joy.

Crashing farm industry kills Monsanto? 

Monsanto’s Roundup proven to cause kidney failure! Cause of gluten allergies! Been going on since the 1970s, wake up you idiots and stop using glyphosate! 

Monsanto found guilty of poisoning farmers! New study confirms Roundup destroys soil, reduces crop nutrition!

Corporate Evil: Monsanto killing children in Cambodia? 

Corporate Evil: More evidence that Roundup is responsible for mutant wild dogs 

Corporate Evil: Did Monsanto create mutant wild dogs in Vietnam?

Corporate Evil: Mystery disease kills children, people can’t build immunity to it, military involved, entire district quarantined, mutant dogs killing pets.

Mormon dominated Idaho makes big money off Beer!

“In the last year, our sales have gone up at least 50%!”-Taresa James, Pub New Harmony in Pocatello, interviewed by KIDK

According to a 2013 National Public Radio report, 25% of people in The Gem State are Mormons, oh, I mean members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

My brother is a Mormon, and the overwhelming majority of my neighbors are Mormons.  In fact if you based your perception of which religion is the dominant religion in Chubbuck on the number of churches, you’d have to say LDS,  because in a city of about 18-thousand residents there are three LDS ‘Wards’.  The Catholic Saint Paul’s church died several years ago, and still sits vacant on West Chubbuck Road (my mother used to go there whenever she visited).

There is a church called Gate City Christian, and a recently built University Bible Church on the western outskirts of the city, and supposedly there is a very small Baptist Church.  But that’s it, no Synagogues, no Mosques!

Now realize that Mormons are not supposed to drink booze yet Idaho’s beer business has become worth $1.2-billion USD!  The Beer Institute and National Beer Wholesalers Association also says Idaho’s beer industry has paid out at least $10-million in wages!

I’ve had many co-workers who call themselves Jack Mormons because they love their beer (and they refuse to go to church and pay their extortion, I mean tithe. “Mormons believe that paying tithing brings peace”).  When I was in the Idaho National Guard I knew several prominent high level LDS Ward members who used their weekend and summer training as an excuse to justify drinking beer!

In the city of Pocatello, which is overwhelmingly Mormon (75.4% according to Census Bureau data!), a massive malting operation is taking place.  It’s Great Western Malting, and recently they got a $75-million USD investment from their Australia based parent company GrainCorp to massively increase production.  Pocatello’s Mormon  mayor even took part in a ground breaking ceremony to expand the Great Western malting operation.  Mormons tout their family values but when it comes to making money, anything goes (in direct ignorance of 2 Nephi 9:30 “..wo unto the rich….they despise the poor and they persecute the meek, and their hearts are upon their treasures; wherefore, their treasure is their god……”)

Mormon bank caught violating U.S. sanctions against Iran!

By the way, I’m not anti-beer, I’m anti-money: “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”-1 Timothy 6:10 King James Version

What Global Warming? Record low Beer sales hit Japan

Sales of Japanese beer, and beer based drinks, hit all time lows in February, 2012.

Japanese brewers shipped less than 360,000 kiloliters (95,101,938 U.S. liquid gallons), that’s the lowest amount in February since such record keeping was started in 1992.

Nippon beer makers blame the cold weather!  They say demand dropped in the areas of Japan that were hit hard by unusual cold temps and heavy snowfall.  They also blame being forced to make more non-alcoholic drinks.

Original Lager Beer Yeast came from South America, not Germany! Proof that Vikings made it all the way to South America?

Researchers from around the world have been looking for the source yeast used in Lager beers.  They found it, in Argentina!

Germany has laid claim as the creator of lager beers, more than 600 years ago.  But scientists realized that the yeast used, Saccharomyces Pastorianus, is not native to Bavaria.

Scientists combed five continents, and found only one source of origin: Patagonia, Argentina.

Now the question is how did Europeans get the yeast?  After all the first German Lagers were created decades before Columbus sailed the ocean blue.   Could it be those daring Vikings who got to North America 400 years before Columbus, made it all the way to South America, then back to Europe?

What Economic Recovery? Big Beer maker in Europe sees Drop in Profits

Heineken, Europe’s biggest beer maker, made a profit the first half of this year, but no where near what they were hoping for.

Their net profit was 694 million euros (U.S.$999.38 million).  That’s a drop compared to the first half of last year, when they netted 700 million euros.

They still made a big profit this year, but it shocked Heineken’s own analysts because they were expecting to make much more money.
