Saturday Night Drinking - What a Good Idea

Submitted by xtramelanin on

Mates,

Since we are in lock-down mode for OT season, but an express waiver was given by LSA for drinking threads, here it is. 

What is in your glass/bottle/can?  EDIT:  I should add that I'm having some red-pop, as usual.  Blackstone merlot, pleasant, not too sweet. 

What was the agenda for your Saturday?  I see a number of you watched an actual, and apparently very exciting, college football game.  

And while we're at it, where are you going to be Thursday for kick-off?  I will be ending football practice early and sending the kids home so that we can make it back to our home for kick off.  We re-up'd on satellite TV yesterday, so we wait with anticipation.

I picked this up after a quick sample at a local store, not bad. 

Now, it's off to work in the garage.  I am now a coach of a First Lego League team for my kid and today was our first meeting.  WOW.  Quite the big to-do.  They'll be building an autonomous robot to go across a game board and complete missions (move, sort, demolish).

from the great white north.

Yard work adnauseum today, even in the drizzle.  All the kids Saturday soccer games don't start for 2 weeks.

Either watching Thursdays game at home, or DVRing it while traveling back to Canada to close up the cottage.

So want to watch this game live.

Did chores around house, grilled a couple steaks for dinner, enjoyed some cold pilsners, now just getting ready to retire for the night. Thursday will be quiet night at home. I'm too nervous to watch in front of family and friends. But I will have my phone close refreshing mgoblog aplenty, and will be watching the game with you all. Celebrating when it will all be said and done. I firmly believe that! Go Blue!!! Can't wait!!!

Whisky cocktails (exact concoction TBD) and frito pies. Hanging with some New Mexicans so hopefully some green chili and chimayo red for smothering purposes!

Two Hearted Ale with the Giants-Jets on in the background. Vacation is almost over, I am wiped out and looking forward to getting back to work. I just prepped a lot of food for a party tomorrow afternoon, stocked up on wine, will get more beer in the morning. Thursday I will be hanging in the man cave with a buddy and my younger son, a win will be tough but there is hope, looking forward to a totally different attitude and coaching style.

Some shitty red wine we happened to have around. If anyone is looking for something to watch, the wife and I started Narcos tonight. It's a Netflix show about Pablo Escobar. The first 2 episodes were quite good. Definitely going to pick it back up

Trying to decide between a Boulevard Sixth Glass and some Maudite... maybe I should do both. I'll be in the stadium cheering for UM which might get me some strange looks since both the wife and I work for the UofU.

Enjoying some rum and Pepsi tonight outside with a bonfire. There's a taste of fall in the air tonight and it's making me giddy for football. Thursday cannot get here soon enough!

Mates,

Having some Two Hearted with my wife, sister and BIL and just relaxing.

Unsure about Thursday at the moment...either at Fraser's or a friend's place.

A toast to the Women's Volleyball team as they swept both Oakland and West Virgina in straight sets for both matches.  Here was the celebration upon the winning point tonight against WV....
