Yesterday, we mustered a quorum for another official meeting of the Aluminum Beer Can Melting Guild. The day proved sunny and the temperature comfortable. Perfect for a meeting.
Early in the gathering,
however, Randy experienced a wardrobe malfunction. The zipper on his bibs would not pull down. Considering how beer goes in at the mouth end
and must be expelled at the zipper end, having a functioning zipper is a pretty
big deal.
Randy tried his best to tug the
zipper with a pair of pliers, but failed to get the job done. Eventually, a couple of the girls took
control of the pliers and repaired the zipper.
“I think it was one zip off,” Randy explained once the zipper was
functioning properly.
We also managed plenty of
sledding, a dinner cooked over the campfire, and a clean pour of aluminum not
long before sunset.
I am sharing a few photographs
and a video of the aluminum pour.
I will post a bit more tomorrow.
