November 8, 20187 yr I’m taking back over my best thread ever from the old board and getting this place in shape. Drinking a good local IPA made in NoogaAnd I am hiding behind garbage cans hoping the neighbor and wife can’t find me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

December 3, 20187 yr I thought about starting a new thread for the following but reconsidered and decided it would fit best here: Hot new Nordic relaxation trend: Pantsdrunk! Quote Drinking home alone in your underwear just might be what you need to be as relaxed as the Finnish. Päntsdrunk is the latest trend to come out of Northern Europe and it involves drinking alone at home. Finnish writer Miska Rantanen outlines the philosophy in his newest book titled: Pantsdrunk: Kalsarikanni: The Finnish Path to Relaxation. Kalsarikänni is a word in Finnish that literally means "drinking at home and alone in your underwear." It seems like you can always count on the Nordic people for coming up with the most novel of lifestyle trends. Päntsdrunk is the anglicized term for the Finnish word Kalsarikänn, and it's a philosophy and way of life that many Finns swear by. The concept is something most young adults can get behind, no matter where they are in the world. Päntsdrunk consists mostly of being alone, drinking alcohol and doing whatever you please in the comfort of your home. That might mean binging on Netflix, staring mindlessly at the wall or your phone or just getting some well-needed rest and recuperation. It's no surprise the Finns have come up with something like this. After all, they are also one of the most relaxed nations with the least stressful educational systems.

It’s rewarding when “trends” catch up with you. If drinking beer in your boxer shorts is a “trend”, then I have been on the bleeding edge for a couple decades.
March 20, 20196 yr I've been working in my underwear for a while now. It's a good reason to work at home. At least, that's what they told me when they asked me to go home.

September 30, 20196 yr Some of y'all may remember my transfer from the stupid wives thread to the divorce thread. In the last several months we've sold our house and I went on to purchase my own place. I had a bar in the garage of the old house that would be a gathering place for the neighborhood dads. I really wanted to recreate the bar in the garage of my new place. Well, a couple of days ago I had a shed installed in my back yard which allowed me to get all of the shit out of the garage and make it into livable space. I think this one is actually better than the old bar. Even though I live by myself half the time (shared custody of my son) I think I'll be out here a lot.

I am planning on getting some insulation panels for the garage door and putting new weather sealers around the outside and bottom of the door. I also have a portable "fireplace" to heat the inside. Its pretty comfortable, really.

October 2, 20196 yr Who drinks beer alone in their garage like a weirdo? I drink bourbon alone on my deck out back like a normal person as God intended.

October 2, 20196 yr In and following... hoping this gives me motivation to finally clean out my garage and make room for drinking alone!

October 2, 20196 yr 6 hours ago, High Plains Drifter said: Why not both? This is the correct answer. I drink beer in my garage alone when it's a weekday and I'm "working on something" in the garage. Rum or Bourbon on the back patio when I just want to relax. I added a TV and big oscillating fan to the garage this summer. Both game changers. Working on a mobile welding table right now. Hope to have that done by the end of October. A little here. A little there. Once that's done, rolling into a mobile outfeed table / router table. Hoping to have that done by Christmas. When those two tables are ready, I'll really be ready to start building shit and drinking beer. In my garage. Alone.

Amen brutha, I am almost to this point myself. I had to tear down my old fence and put in a new one, bumped up 14' toward the front of my house to make room behind the fence for a shed. Shed will be installed at the end of the month, then I'll be able to clear the garage, and do a lot more with it. It'll still need to hold cars so won't be near the complete bar that yours is, but I'll have some space in there to install a TV, some bar stools and a pub table, stereo, etc. All the neighbor-dads already meet in my driveway on a regular basis since I let them take beer out of my garage fridge any time the garage door is open, but now we'll have a cooler space to hang. Of course, I'll still be sure to take some time to drink beer alone in the garage. 'Cause that's what makes the world go round. Either that or heroine, I don't recall...

October 3, 20196 yr I was making a reference to the slight 70’s era dive bar feel of the place. I like it...a lot. I would hang out there /no homo.

Those will be the next two posters to hang in there. Also, if you're in the PNW get a hold of me and we can down a pint in my dive bar.

May 24, 20205 yr Technically not in the garage and not alone but these two old guysMIL lives in a retirement apartment complex since selling here home after Harvey. She’s pretty much quarantined by herself since early March and we’ve been bringing her groceries. I went by there last Thursday to drop of some food and check on her car A/C and I see these two guys again. Been in the same place the last 3 times I’ve been there. Need to bring them a six pack next time I come by. I wonder how that Rascal drives after a few cold ones.
May 25, 20205 yr Watching Good Time in my garage with Old Forester and Coke. Pretty great. Make fun of my toenails as needed IDGAF. https://i.imgur.com/c8h7rAj.jpg
