December 2010 for me.

[Tlock]

Well.... at least you don't smell like lighter fluid or JP-4 jet-fuel anymore.

Now its tacos and hoppes#9

Though I'm in Newport from time to time, I don't recall ever visiting there, nor ever trying their booze anywhere. But I drop-kicked ethanol years ago, so could have simply forgotten.

My heart goes out to the folks out of a job due to their closure.

Food and service always sucked, beer was ok

True story.

I have no words for their IT Help Wanted ad from 2015 or so

Is this for real? If so, it's a wonder they lasted as long as they did.

As near as I can tell, yes

It would probably be a pretty good gig for a while. The $50k cap kills it for me.

Too many places want us IT guys to have all the experience, education and certifications under the sun, but only want to pay barely above minimum wage.

To be fair, you major job responsibility is asking people if they have tried turning it off and back on again

I thought $50k put you in the top 1% in Montana.

It probably does. It doesn't pay the $500,000 entry price for a 90 year old home on a postage stamp that should have been torn down 60 years ago.

Well, did you?

The other major job responsibility is doing everyone's thinking for them.

After researching the town of Big Timer I had to turn down the best job offer in the world. I could of never been able to afford to live there

That's nothing. You should see the prices in Big Timber.

When a family friend was dying of cancer, he wanted to have one last beer with the guys. He chose dead guy ale. I'll have to go buy one in his memory.

 

[orygun]

Food and service always sucked, beer was ok

Went there one time. My buddy will cry, as Dead Guy is one of his favs, But I swear their service made McMenamins look fast. The food was ok, but like everything else, sooper expensive.

So, did they fold because they didn't charge enough, or because they had no customers due to the pricing?

Its my fault.....been on the wagon since February 3rd 2025.

July 1972. Brother, cousin, aunt and grandfather drank themselves to death.
Having gained about 5% more maturity since, I have enjoyed a few glasses of wine in the past several years.
