The Adult Evening Beverage

[Deadwood Dutch]

It is a nice evening here at 10:27 eastern time, and a nice breeze is blowing out on the screened-in porch. A storm is supposed to blow in overnight dumping some heavy rain. Having a Miller High Life in the "Heritage" can. Not a bad beer for $20.00 for a 30 pack.

I remember as a young kid, Dutch, when my Dad would bring home a cardboard box (guess a case) of the very same -- only in clear, glass bottles. The box had two flip top lids.

When the bottle was chilled and came out of the refrigerator, it looked real good on a hot summer evening.

Then Dad would pull out his trusty bottle opener and enjoy his "adult evening beverage."

Guess I was too young then...never had my own bottle, but got a taste of his drink now and then!

[Deadwood Dutch]

Yep, I always say that it tastes better in the bottle.

RR,

Good job!

...my wife painted that little cow painting on that shelf. She paints all the time and has had her stuff in the Calgary Stampede Western Showcase and Art Auction.

I know you know, but let me just say, "she's a keeper". Her photographs are awesome and that painting is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

Just having some Brisk half iced tea and half lemonade tonight. A real refreshing drink. We had some really bad flash flooding here tonight and I got caught in it with the new RAV4 but she handled it well and sailed right through it!

Glad you made out ok Dutch.

I'm having a rum and diet coke. Good enough for another I think.

I hope your day was good.

[daytime dave]

I just made a tumbler of vodka gimlets. I hope everyone had a good day today. I guess I did. I started to make a workbench in the girlfriend's garage. I'm using my new DeWalt tools and loving how they work. You really do get what you pay for. Beats the heck out of my old Craftsman drill
/ driver.

How was your day?

[Deadwood Dutch]

My day was pretty good, even though I went to the dentist. Only had one cavity. Tonight in the cool evening air, Winnie and I had a nice walk in the neighborhood. Vodka sounds pretty good. Sometimes I mix the Absolut pear vodka with V8 Splash in various flavors.

Cool night here with rain coming. Having tea in the Henry mug, and watching an episode of Rawhide.

[RanchRoper]

Well still haven't made it to the range...tomorrow night, I grab the Henry and go. Having tea right now in one of the various cowboy mugs we own, then relax. It's been a long hot day and this old buckaroo is plum wore out.

[Vaquero]

Been hot, got some rain today.
Cooled things a bit.
Got off work early, yea.
Been sippin on a couple Amber Bock's.

[daytime dave]

I'm enjoying a nice Canadian Whiskey. It was another long day. Another one is on deck for tomorrow.

[Deadwood Dutch]

Having a Miller High Life. It was hot and humid here today also but some pretty potent thunderstorms came rolling through about 3:00PM and now the humidity has subsided and tomorrow is to be less humid. I will have to cut grass.

In the morning coffee thread, I wrote that my day started with a soothing Henry mug of double mocha. It's ending with the same drink this evening, and again there's that nice soothing with a warm, tasty mug full.

Got through all the ins/outs of wrapping up the accident I was in yesterday. Good help from the insurance company, van is now scheduled to be repaired next month (July already!), rental car ordered, etc., etc. And to top it off, we had a strong rain shower this morning and I gathered 1/2" of water in our range gauge --- much needed here!!

Well, I finished 33 years of being accident-free.
Guess I started over today!

Be safe, Everyone. And thanks to all for your comments on the good outcome from my fender-bender......no injuries, and only messed-up car paint!

[RanchRoper]

Glad you're ok. Huge thunderstorms here this evening. Hopefully no hail. Tea then call it a day.

[Coach]

Out at the lake house tonight.....A little Captain and Coke. The temperature is 100 at 6:00 pm.



This is for the 4rh.

[Deadwood Dutch]

That is just plain too hot! But that picture and the drink surely look refreshing.

I agree Dutch.....It's 82 with a sea breeze at home right now. No sea breeze in the Sierra foothills.

Nice night here, about 70F, wind has calmed down. Just made tea, busy day. Got all the grass cut, takes about 3 hrs. Then put new flag up for Canada Day. We get about 3 months out of a flag, by then there's not much left just a few shreds from the wind. Then the washing machine sprung a hot water leak so it's sitting in the middle of the hall right now until I can get a new hose tomorrow for it. Then I heard that actress Olivia De Havilland from Gone with the Wind is 100 yrs old today. I wonder how many washing machines she's owned in her lifetime?
