Summertime In SoBro...

Yeah, yeah, actual summer doesn't start for a while yet, and daily highs have been running ten degrees below normal here, and there's apparently still some ice floating around Lake Superior, but if there's anything I learned as a kid, it's that summertime starts in the first week of June.

Scarlet Lane Brewing has the best beer delivery truck evar. Their saison is pretty yummy, too. I am told that, yes, there is a coffin-shaped cooler in the back.

    A friend had one of those when I was much younger and able to drink much more.

    THe hearse was painted in metalflake black, so it stood out from all the others. Especially with the purple curtains.

    THe parties on the beach with the coffin full of beer were memorable.

    The Coast Guard just declared today that for the first time in seven months, the Great Lakes are finally ice free.

    Ya know ... I've always wanted to turn a Cadillac hearse into a camper/candy van ...

    Granted it isn't a truck, but Mod XXX enabled the Spitfire to be the coolest beer delivery vehicle ever IMO. http://bit.ly/1oPGNh2

    Though the USAF pilots that transported Coors from Colorado to Valdosta via the rocket tubes is a very close second.

    They almost had to have been flying F-89 Scorpions in order to make that worthwhile?

    Although F-94 Starfire's folding 2.75" FFAR doors could hold a moderate quantity of beer cans or bottles. Wouldn't want to go too high, or you'd have a mess, though.

    I wanted a hearse (or for our Arkansas friends, a Hurst--couldn't resist) when I was younger & thought I was cool, moving towards cooler. That ended when I discovered that they're the least-luxurious Caddy ever made. My '87 Fleetwood had gadgets I never even used. A hearse is basically a panel delivery for the room-temperature population, minus anything to entertain the crew. I guess it helps to maintain the proper solemn expression, or something.

    There used to be a couple guys who camped out every year at the Oshkosh air show. They had a coffin set up as a cooler, but they didn't have a hearse.

    They did, however, have a bottomless supply of beer on a bier puns.
