It's a beautiful summer evening, what are you drinking?
Well, you're not going to get a snazzy intro about life on the farm but I think we can all agree summer evenings are a time to rejoice. College football starts in 28 days but plenty of fun to be had in the meantime. What's everyone up to tonight? Drinks? BBQ? Family plans? I'm enjoying a pint of a hoppy lager right by the beach. Hope all is well.
Enjoying a 2 hearted and watching two fawns lying in my back yard.
Started with Eagle Rare, now enjoying a generous pour of Elijah Craig 18 year 🥃
Cheers!!
Very nice. All my stuff is bottled up and put away for a month or two. Tragic. Left to drink what was in the rv.
Wow, sorry to hear that. Curious as to why...
Renovating. House is gutted. Literally everything we own is boxed up and put away for now.
Send me your bourbon. I will look after it well while you remodel. I promise.
You will have to come and find it. A fitting reward for an impossible task.
Evan Williams and Coke Zero because I have no class. it’s economical and I’m a fatty. Freakin 100 today and I had to wear a suit and drive around…
No Class you say
It's 100+ in the DC area. I'm drinking water and laying down
You must be near me. 40 miles south of dc, Hot!
Appalachian Nights - Dark Roast Coffee with a pair of Little Debbie Nutty Bars.
Aberlour. At a state park camping. In the middle of a reno, so we're living in the trailer during the week and taking it to campgrounds to dump the tanks on weekends. Definitely a "shitter was full" situation.
Okay, I understand now. Good luck with the reno. Hope the new RV is comfortable. She must be a beauty, ah Clark!!
Anchor Steam, an impulse purchase seeing as they are going out of business
It's 92 and humid here in Chicago so I proofed my pizza dough outside -- it's the same environment as a proofing box. Worked well. And I'm drinking diet coke, like I always do.
I proofed my pizza dough outside
Did you stamp it with a QED afterward?
(jk. I have no idea what proofing a pizza dough means)
The word 'proof' is used in a couple of different ways in baking, all relating to yeast and dough rising. In this case, it means letting your dough rise. You can also proof your yeast, which just means you've added water to it and if it foams, you're proving that it's alive and working. Professional baking kitchens have proofing boxes -- they're enclosed racks with doors that have heating mechanisms inside, but only go to about 100 degrees. Warm, humid air will make your dough rise more quickly. (a little culinary school knowledge).
Jolly pumpkin on Old Mission for dinner and a few micros. A windows down drive back the east bay was awesome.
Big whiskey get together at a friends Im bringing my own whiskey (Cigaro Blend) its an amaro finished whiskey that was held in a cigar humidor for a few days.
Hey, I’m in your neighborhood - staying with the family on Coronado for a few days. Went for a bike ride, had some surprisingly good pizza at Village pizza now about to get some seafood for dinner. Stone and Coronado brew co beers abound.
Coronado brewing is great. If anyone in your company sails I highly recommend renting a boat from Coronado. It's quite reasonable.
It’s a nice cool 95 degree evening here in northeast Oklahoma. Enjoying some Rowan’s Creek on the front patio. Gonna switch to Two Hearted and eat an edible, pass out, and head to the lake in the morning.
Other Half Citra IPA. Collab with Monkish Brewing
Sounds amazing
Gatorade. Playing soccer with my girls on a warm night in Seattle.

Here in south Central Kansas at 8:20 PM it is 92 degrees. We walked 9 holes this morning, we were scheduled to go 18-by 10 AM it was well on the way to 104. We are drinking a lot of water-will soon have a little bedtime sip of wine.
Up at Torch lake sippin on some Old Forester 1920. Woof I have to add a splash of water with this one.
Hendricks gin, Three Floyd's something or other, top shelf margarita, Oberon, Miller Lite now followed by some Weller Special Reserve. Then I have to drive home.....
Not really, wife and I are in Clarkston/ Auburn Hills for a getaway weekend. Jason Mraz tomorrow at Meadowbrook.
LaCroix until my (figuratively) Irish toddlers go to bed. Then probably Jameson.
Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon. My favorite Zinfandels have gone up in price and gluten free beer doesn't do it for me--the ones that are well done tend to be boring. (With an exception here and there.)
We've finally hit the hot and humid part of the summer for an extended period. However, it hasn't been as bad as I hear it has down south of the (Canadian) border. We are going to my wife's aunt's 60th wedding anniversary next week in Kentucky, which I am simultaneously looking forward to and dreading.
Why am I looking forward to it? She's my favorite of my wife's many aunts, has helped us immensely when dealing with my mother-in-law (who has Alzheimer's) and she is one of the few of my wife's relatives who will actually leave Kentucky from time to time.
Why am I dreading it? It's going to be hot and humid and my wife's family is--well, let's just say overwhelming at times.
On vacation with the fam. Grilled up some Cardiff Crack Tri Tip sliders for dinner. Drinking whatever is put in front of me.
I'm just now slowing down to have a couple slices of reheated pizza and alternating Saugatuck Blueberry Lemonade Shandy with LaCroix. The Big Move to The Farm is tomorrow. My best teacher friend is the HS football coach, so I have 10-12 football player volunteers, a couple coaches, four cargo trailers, and an untold number of pickup trucks showing up at 9 am. I'm still packing and will probably be working until at least midnight tonight. Fortunately I have no deadline to be out of the current space, so what's ready gets moved, and I'll keep on keeping on for the next few days until it's done. So far I've made twelve trips with my car and four with my truck and borrowed trailer since I took possession of the house two and a half weeks ago. It's a pleasant 35-mile, 50-minute drive one way on the back roads. The highway would be faster, but now there are THREE construction slowdowns between here and there. And my son was supposed to arrive from NYC last night to help with the packing today, but now he might make it here by ten am tomorrow due to multiple transit issues. IIWII, and certain things are out of our control. All will be good.
Faygo orange up north at camp 🏕️

Sitting with my wife and in-laws by the pool and drinking Sam Adams Summer Ale.

Heading to NY tomorrow for mom's funeral.
Nothing to drink tonight, but it's going to be your classic Irish wake.
Sorry about your mom.
I fear the day I lose my mom.
Me typing that brings tears and chills.
Sorry for your loss, HP.
Kinda resonates with me. Wishing you and your family the best and peaceful thoughts, HP.
Sorry to hear man. Losing a family member is so tough.
