The Adult Evening Beverage

[Deadwood Dutch]

Got the carpet cleaned, got the dogs nails clipped and now I am having a Budweiser and watching Game of Silence on the tube. I'm usually up till about 1:00AM and later I'll check out a late ball game and the scores on ESPN.

[Sir Henry]

Oh, you posted last night. I thought you were drinking a tad early today.

[Deadwood Dutch]

When camping, in my "younger days," I had been known to have a beer for breakfast.

I'm usually up till about 1:00AM...

That's amazing, Dutch. I can usually stay awake until nine. After that, I'm going to fade fast. I'm out like a light inside of ten minutes in bed and stay there until sunrise ( except for the 2 am trip to the outhouse). Even then, I often doze a bit more until about 7, when the cat can't stand it anymore and starts knocking the wastepaper basket over to make enough noise to get me up. I need and I get a lot of sleep. She's a very smart cat.

I used to be that way Dutch. Keeping dayshift hours, I'm usually up between 0630 and 0730 hrs. I get tired around 10 and go to bed soon thereafter.

A martini or two help get me ready for bed. It sounds good. I think I'll go make one.

How was your day?

[Deadwood Dutch]

Just cut the grass between showers today. We certainly are getting a lot of rain lately, which we actually needed. But the nights are pretty cool in the mid 40's. Probably just have a diet Mountain Dew tonight, as diet soda goes I think that it is one of the best. I am watching the Pirates and the Reds ball game, then Blue Bloods at 10:00. I have to be at a little league game at 10:00AM tomorrow.

How many showers do you take?

[RanchRoper]

I'm up at 4:30am most days and wiped out by 9pm. Tea time now and relaxing.

[Deadwood Dutch]

Rain showers, but you had a good idea there! After working the last ten years before I retired in 2012, from 11Pm till 7AM I am very rarely in bed before 1:00AM. Last night it was 1:45. I'm usually up by 7:00AM but then I take a nap during the day.

[Deadwood Dutch]

It's a rainy night in Franklin County Pa. and I'm sitting here drinking a Budweiser and watching Toby Keith on "Soundstage."

[daytime dave]

I just made a martini. I drew a bath for the gf and will go wake her shortly.

Long weekend. Mostly working of some sorts. How was your day / weekend?

[Deadwood Dutch]

Went to a little league game yesterday and took my one grandson to his practice this afternoon. His mom was at the hospital and his dad had a meeting. This one is 10 years old and can really drive a baseball a long way for his age. I always think that he gets his strength from karate. He just made his first black belt a few weeks ago. Then I watched what was left of the NASCAR race from Taladega. A lot of wrecks, right up until the last lap. I'm glad that nobody was injured, especially the way some of those cars hit the wall and flipped.

[RanchRoper]

Got all the grass cut today, it takes about 3 hrs on the tractor. Lots of large area, and then all the finicky stuff around the trees, buildings, horse pens, up and down the driveway both sides, etc. But when it's done it looks real nice. First time I've ever had to cut it in May. Usually June. Just boiling the kettle for some tea. Tired. Just got home from the range, and posted some results in the Centerfire topic.

[daytime dave]

I generally like the seat time on my tractors at my parents place. It helps de stress and I listen to music while doing mowing, plowing, discing, whatever needs doing.

I'm having a nice martini. I got a great deal on a Buck knife I wanted at my local WalMart. I'm thrilled. I also got some cool toys.

How was your day?

[RanchRoper]

Evening tea. Relaxing. It was a good day. Opened the last round bale for the horses. It will last a couple of weeks as I only fork from it, they don't have free access. Then I feed cubed hay for awhile until summer pastures get a chance to grow.

[daytime dave]

Well, lot's of work today. Plenty of time in the back room here.

I'm having a wonderful Canadian Whiskey. After Scotch Whiskey, Canadian is a good second. Plenty of complex flavors to try. Closer to home and more affordable too!

How was your day?

[Deadwood Dutch]

Johnnie Walker Black is my favorite scotch and VO my favorite Canadian whiskey. But tonight I just had a Budweiser and today we planted rose bushes and flowers in the garden. On Friday we will go and pick up the vegetable plants for our small vegetable garden. The rain has helped to make the digging much easier.

[RanchRoper]

When I drank 30+ years ago, it was Jack Daniels. Straight up, no ice. Jim Beam if no JD around. Time to put the kettle on for tea now....

[daytime dave]

I mowed lawn at my parents and just finished all my chores at home. A nice glass of Canadian Whiskey is calling and soothing. I'm going to go answer.

How was your day?

[Deadwood Dutch]

I did get to cut the grass today, between rain showers. But more on the way overnight. Tonight we went to the grandkids school band and chorus concert at a theater in town. One plays the piano, trumpet and sings in the chorus and the other one plays the saxophone and guitar. Tonight I will have a glass of pear flavored vodka and watch The Americans on the FX network. As far as I am concerned it is the best thing going as far as a dramatic series on the tube.
