The Adult Evening Beverage

[markiver54]

Look'n good there Paul! you've got the right recipe. Cheers!

[Hatchdog]

It’s a gin and tonic kind of evening. 76 here in the shade on the patio. Got a couple of bakers in the oven and a thick New York steak big enough for two waiting for the grill.

Happy Memorial weekend to all especially the veterans past, present and future.

Having a Guinness while grilling some Italian sausages, potato salad and pickled asparagus. To all who visit here and to the Forum, Slàinte!

You guys are way better with a camera than I am. We just sat on the deck and I had a MM and water after a good day
selling poppies for the VFW. In four hours we took in $663.00. Not bad for two old VN vets huh?
All the money will go to local causes. It was actually a fun day.
My buddy Wally was a Medic in VN and his ambulance was blown up and he spent a lot of time in rehab.
He retired as a police inspector and is a great guy.

Cheers fellas, we've made it half way through '25.

I rode one of those old mowers behind a tractor being driven by my Father. I spend several summers doing that.
I know what that is.

I'm old.

Hope I can get around as good as you do Coop if I ever make it old

Well Al, just follow your advice at the bottom. Your signature.

Hey coop, I've cut a ton of hay in my younger days, also.
But, on much more modern equipment.
That one has been an yard ornament for a long time.

Im givin it my best shot Coop. One thing I was worried about though is if Martini's are required to get me there I will never make it.

[Vaquero]

Good one, Al. I don't believe I've had one.

Mark, FYI...
The third party emojis you've used might be visible in this quote box, but they do not appear on my screen in the message box. It's blank.

Hmm...I sometimes use the emojis supplied by Microsoft on my laptop. The emoji is a martini w/olive.
Thanks for the heads-up Stan. I've used them many times before not knowing that.

[BigAl52]

Those emojis use to work But for the last year or so nothing here either. I use to be able to use the ones in my phone but not anymore. Dave we need more emojis

The emojis work just fine in "Preview". Just not after posting.

The Microsoft emojis use an .SVG image filename extension.
DaytimeDave, are SVG file types enabled?

[Vaquero]

Good evening, and a Happy Friday the 13th to everyone.
Cheers! Mine started off with a Bang. so to speak.
I'm having a Is celebratory drink for the occasion.
