2. I quit mostly because I was off work on L&I for an injured knee and decided I couldn't just hang

out at the Eagles lodge and drink beer all the time. Too much free time wasn't good for me or my wallet. I never planned on quitting permanently.

For a while I hung out there with the boys anyway. That was okay, but after pounding beers for a while, my buddies got drunker and louder, and I wasn't on the same trip. It wasn't the same.

As a young adult my dream was to own a little bar some day. Then I got a job at a beer distributor. Delivering to the bars that opened early clued me in. It would be more like having drunks in your home all day every day. No thanks.
