I finally made it to my AR house today after 18 hours of driving. I was shooting BB guns off the deck and about to drink my beer when my wife says, "stop! I think there's a yellow jacket in your beer".

I swish it around and sure enough there was. I dump the pissy bastard out. She literally saved my life. Over a thousand people a year die from yellow jackets stings inside the throat every year. She offered me the one straw in house to prevent the possibility of me swigging another yellow jacket down. There seemed to be many attracted to my open beer and I was certainly was having more.

Knowing how tough it is to look manly while drinking through a straw I found a much more masculine solution utilizing pellet tin lids🍻😉

Damn... you drink your beer WAY too slow! LOL!

A REAL man doesn't leave enough time for an insect to get into the can when there is still beer to drink! (chuckle)

Just kidding of course...

Nice solution! Although I would hate drinking beer through a straw. And that is not a problem as I lost my taste for beer a few years ago... (smile)

Now... Bourbon and water mixed just about the same as the alcohol content of beer. (grin)

Of course I ONLY drink it for the taste... Yeah... the taste... that's the ticket! (chuckle)

Yeah they are pellet guns. Weihrauchs Hw30s. A big tough powder burning friend of mine always called my pellet guns, "BB guns". After a while it stuck with me. I kind of like it.

The fun I have with them reminds me of being a kid shooting my Crosmans and 880. I could shoot pellets or BBs through them but I mostly shot BBs because they were cheap. So it's not a stretch for me to call them BB guns. IMO this is supposed to be fun so calling them BB guns kind of keeps things in perspective for me.

And no I didn't wipe the lid off before I covered the beer. Within a minute after I dumped out the first yellow jacket two more landed on the can so I was more concerned about dying immediately than dying from long term exposure to trace amounts of lead. I'm not particularly lead phobic to begin with. The beer would likely kill me before the amount of lead on the underside of the lid. It'd be like the hippie doing coke or speed complaining about car emissions.

Anyway remember this is supposed to be fun.

Be well All
Ron
