OT: Friday drinking/what are you up to this weekend thread (drinking optional)
Not optional for me, as I am a Hopslam and an Edmund Fitzgerald invested already. Snow removal and roof-detail for me tomorrow, as I live in perpetual snowland of 1/4 mile off Lake Michigan. Narrowly dodged a nasty ice dam situation the last 2 winters, and hellbent on preventing one, 3rd year in a row.
No M Hockey this weekend, which is a bummer. So, tomorrow is roof, M Hoops and some dog training. Sunday, the boy and I are floating a West Michigan river armed with spey rods and desire to beat a steelhead or two. If you've never drifted a snowy river, I highly recommend it.
Tonight, 5 fingers of Elijah Crag 12 y/o and Red Wings by the fire. No work shit, no Swenson, no worries.

Popov Vodka? Gads. I just checked BevMo and a 1.75 liter bottle is $13.99. We need to get a gofundme going to provide something better to drink!
By the way I live 15 miles from Lake Michigan and we get hammered with snow quite often as well.

LaGunitas Undercover Shut Down

how is that? I almost bought some a week ago, but switched gears to something more familiar.
January 22nd, 2016 at 7:16 PM ^
Very good, but it's hoppy, so as long as that's your thing, try it!
4/5

Always envious of of those who can spend an evening there. So many memories. I worked on State Street as a student, and I proposed a toast there to the entire bar to the National Champions in the early hours of 1998. It is a favorite whenever I come back to town.

Ransom Old Tom Gin... great change from the standard juniper berry fare. Drinks more like a whiskey.
As for me, a few fingers of Laphroaig 18

The nice thing about dealing with a huge storm in DC/Maryland/VA area is that everything completely shuts down... so as long as you are prepared a few days out, its like a vacation. My job, and many many others, are either completely shut down, or at least have no expectation of work attendance. For me, this will last at least a few days after the last flake falls. In fact, during our biggest storm last year (which this storm dwarves) my county sent out emergency messages saying that anyone on any road for any reason would be stopped and arrested. It's a mandatory stay-cation.
A power outage would suck though.

Because 80 million people aren't impacted when a foot of snow hits out west.
January 22nd, 2016 at 8:07 PM ^
And we out here in in the mid-Atlantic never get this much. Could be the most all time for DC.
They keep say "life threatening, life threatening" and I'm all like "I ain't seen nobody die yet."
