What are you drinking right now?

It’s available in Vegas, you may need to visit a place like TAG or another craft beer bar, happy hunting.

Someone sent me this video about tequila.

 

Ballast Point Manta Ray.
Mighty tasty.

 

Corona.

 

Aldi gin and Aldi tonic. Had to drive all day ferrying football fans around. It's late, but it's me time now.

Aldi gin won a best gin award last year. It's a very nice choice. I do prefer fevertree or fentimans tonic, but the prices are silly.

 

I wish we had Aldi here.

 

Husband just had a Bombay Sapphire gin and tonic.
We'll have to try out the Aldi gin. Thanks, pebbles.

 

2017 Gundlach-Bundschu GEWÜRZTRAMINER

We visited this winery last fall; we enjoyed their wines and have ordered a few bottles over the course of the year.

This is a good wine for us to sip and relax as our house is totally a mess while it undergoes a major remodel (first one since it was built 22 years ago...).

Sipping a glass and watching the race at Daytona on TV!

 

Are you in the house while the remodeling is going on, @ronc?
We've got a lot of work planned in the next year and just wondering how you are handling the remodel.
Our house is about the same age. Still has good bones.

Oh, and I'll be having a Turkey with water after dinner.

 

I'm partial to a Bombay Shappire too. I hope he enjoyed it. What did you have?

 

Yes, we are. We were sleeping in our bed in the living room for almost two weeks while they did the bedroom half of the house was done. Then we moved back in our room while they worked on the front. The granite goes in Wednesday; The guys doing the rest of the work will be back after that to do the doors (all new exterior doors) and other work that is left. Plus we are waiting on a couple of new windows as we start replacing them a few at a time...

A bit stressful, but we packed about 7-8 bins with key items that we can find as we move. My wife lived out of a $29 wardrobe for her work clothes while everything was out of her closet. My work clothes are easier--my work outfits are jeans and a company t-shirt or Dockers and a polo. Evenings in our pool when it is not storming (above ground; we decided a few years ago to stop waiting to have the cash for an in-ground and just get what we could afford then) and lots of sipping wine and a few beers to relax. The guys work 9-8 or so; I have watched parts of the World Cup with them a lot. The worked July 4th; I had a BBQ for them. Their family brought us lunch today.

Anyway--just be ready for everything being out of place and a disjointed lifestyle, relax, and it will be fine!!

I don't look forward to moving back in completely, which will happen after all the work is done and a deep-cleaning is done. The garage (two cars) and a enclosed trailer are full of things to come back in the house. We also got rid of a lot of stuff...and more will be cut when we are moving back in...


You can handle it! It will be worth it!!

 

Thanks so much for your insights. Very helpful.

 

Still thinking about it, @pebbles. Maybe some Wild Turkey with a splash of water after dinner. Good stuff.

 

It’s almost 2 am here. What time is it with you? 5pm?

 

I'm still bucking the Chest Cold From Hell. Sobriety hasn't really done much so I might as well grab something. Hmmm. Ketel rocks? Captain Fatty's The Blue IPA? Nicely chilled Stolpman Love You Bunches carbonic Sangio?

 

Just about 6pm here in Southern California.

 

Ketel rocks with a squeeze of lemon/lime should clear up what ails ya.
Feel better soon, fella.

 

Still celebrating the big win?!

 

It's an excuse to drink more than normal on a Saturday. Holding my breath for the next game.

 

A cold Newcastle

 

I'm sitting by a bonfire drinking a homebrewed New England IPA.
