I'm a Ranger, a new Belgian beer ranger.

You can't see my uniform because we're on the radio, but you can bet I'm wearing it

with pride.

Wandering the land from coast to coast, bringing good beer to the masses, while I can develop

quite a thirst.

Now we've crafted a beer with Simco, Chinook, and Cascade hops, the Ranger IPA, so bold

and refreshing it can satisfy a ranger's thirst.

Try a new ranger IPA and then head online to get in uniform at newbellgim.com.

Employee-owned, alternatively empowered, new Belgian brewing.

Follow your folly, hours of beer.

With additional support from Kuat Rax and Patagonia.

This is The Shorts, and you're listening to The Dirt Pack Diaries.

I was exhausted.

Combination of the sort of men to the physical tiredness of the like of which I hadn't

felt before.

Not like that surfed out, feeling after a run of good swell that a good night's sleep

can remedy.

I needed a break, and I really, really needed to go surfing.

A friend of mine once said that it was worth getting a budget flight to Morocco just to

eat an orange.

After that he said you could turn around and fly on home content.

I knew you'd a bit more incentive than that though.
