The Adult Evening Beverage

[daytime dave]

I just returned from camp, moved more stuff from my old house to the new one and am just taking care of forum business. It seems we have a few friends from Australia joining us. Glad they are here.

I'm having a vodka gimlet and then bed early. I'm working my part time job on the fourth.


Happy Fourth of July!!

and a belated

Happy Canada Day!!

Did some shopping today and ordered a new carpet cleaner. Having a few Miller High Life tonight and watching the ball game on ESPN coming from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Braves vs. Marlins. The wife will make cole slaw to take to a picnic tomorrow, but the prediction is for rain, so it will be under the patio roof. The community has already postponed the fireworks until next Saturday night.

Ours was a restful, quiet day. A few shots of tequila and a beer after dinner, and it's off to a good night's sleep -- that is, if our neighbors can keep from shooting off illegal fireworks! Boom, boom, boom. What's with that, anyway?

Happening here too, right now. It's a neighborhood tradition which I have no part of. The dog disappears for hours. She has a good hiding place.

Happy 4th tomorrow folks! 33 yrs ago I was in Jackson Hole Wyoming on the 4th of July, and it was a blast. Rodeo, fireworks, and then off to the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar for live music. A good time was had by all.

I worked today and had a really neat experience by meeting up with RetiredSeabee. We had a late lunch and talked. He is a fine gentleman. A very interesting man. He is passionate about his yoga. It was great to meet him. It seems he and the wife are on a whirlwind tour of upstate NY to visit friends and family. He advised me he was nearby and I was thrilled to meet a forum member. I'm going to make a batch of vodka gimlets to celebrate, lol.

I hope you all have a great fourth of July.

I ...had a really neat experience by meeting up with RetiredSeabee.

I'm a bit jealous of you two. I'd love to meet both of you guys and spend some time talking face to face!

I'm having a glass of Chardonnay on the deck before I call it a night. It was a nice, quiet weekend at our house.

Maybe a Henry forum Alaskan or Caribbean cruise each year would work....tea time soon and relaxing. My wife is getting ready for the Calgary Stampede Western Art Auction this week on Wednesday evening. She working on her painting tonight. We will head up to "Cowtown" i.e. Calgary for the day, have supper out and be at the auction for 5pm. The actual Stampede starts on Friday this week. The whole city goes crazy for it, with gigantic pancake breakfasts at malls, a huge parade on opening day through the downtown, and live entertainment all over the city.

Are we all hung over here? No one has had an "evening beverage" since July 4. Hmmm....

[daytime dave]

No hang over here. Just busy like everyone else. I'm just now relaxing with a nice glass of Canadian Whiskey. It's the new Scotch as far as I'm concerned. Such nice complexities so close and so inexpensive (so far).

I hope you all had a nice day.
