You don't have to like them but they surely aren't worth hating. Unless you hate your in-laws.

In laws I hated are not out of the family.
Just can't bring myself to cheer for Vikes, gophers, a few others. like the twins. Dont care about hockey.

I am doctoring up my Busch Light. Couple of twists of salt, lime wedge squeezed, one green olive with a little bit of brine.

Pretty good.

Iced tea!

Great night at music-instrument tryout night for the younger son (who hopes to follow in his older brother's footsteps and play the trumpet), and the to scout court of honor where he was presented two rank advancements in one court of honor.

Y'all will have to man-up and enjoy my share of alcohol for the next week or 2. New meds I'm on do NOT mix w/any kind of booze. Looks like I'm taking one for the team.

You're welcome.

Buddy, I will step up for you because someone has to do it. :toast:

I will most certainly have a double pour of Rye tonight, you know, just for you!

:thumb: take a minute to pat yourself on the back Dad, that's outstanding...

I do, but I prefer to spend time with him and see how awesome he is, and the awesome role model his older brother is too. In the end all I do is keep them on track when they drift, but they do the work and gut-out the challenges.

Got a nice surprise on a liquor deal today. Fry's grocery had ad for buy 2 bottles of Crown Royal regular or Apple and get each bottle for $13.99. Figured, welp that's damn good and I can't pass up that labor day sale to add to my stock pile.

At this grocery they have things like Crown locked up so you have to go to the register and when you checkout, mention what you want and they get it from the back room. It was super busy and we asked for a bottle of regular Crown and a bottle of Apple Crown. Guy returns with just one bottle of Apple and said in the first case they were out of regular crown so he needed to get the managers key to go into another case for the regular Crown. Comes back and says they are out of both. I was ready to just buy another Apple, even though I have never had it, but he offers the other bottle to either be a Rye or Black label as the line was starting to get long behind us and this was taking quite long to accomplish. Very nice of them to match it even though it wasn't part of the offer.

So I got these two for $13.99 each today. :D

Nice deal! How do you like the Apple if you've had it yet? I had a shot of it at a bar a few weeks ago and was actually enjoyable. Put it in the freezer for a while. My bartender made it somewhat frothy before serving.

Haven't had it yet. Others say it's good which is kind of surprising given the snobbery of disliking all flavored whiskey. I went with some tequila tonight in a Paloma. I'll crack the Apple whiskey when some of the other stuff it used. :thumb:

Kraken on the rocks.... GREAT round of golf (hopefully tomorrow's will be an even better round!!), out-drove the some TWICE (!!!!!), but tonight it's the Kraken to sooth the back...
