OT: Friday drinking/what are you up to this weekend thread (drinking optional)

Submitted by wigeon on

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.

Snowed in with my wonderful family in Nashville. I Hooked up my lawnmower trailer to the back of my SUV and took my 9 year old son for a ride in the snow. True hillbilly style complete with the back hatch of the xterra wide open and all of us hollering Ric Flair style "whoooooa" for the duration of the adventure. About to watch a movie with the family and may kick back a little Bird Dog Apple Whiskey....yeah....that's right, Southern style.

Beefeater cuz its an actual legit London Dry. Wanna spend more? Fine. But, why would you do that? It's London Dry Gin, fella; don't get cute. Side note: Vodka is for pussies.

Vermouth: I actually am not a hater but mind your proportions, homie 'cause....yeah, it can make the deal go south and quick. I certainly don't think ZERO is the answer. Folks say zero 'cause they're afraid of getting in wrong. In other words, they're pussies.

Olives: Gimme big mofos. Like, real big. And a lot of them. Say, *at least* equal parts by weight solids to liquid. 16 ounce mininmum, please. Anythiing less is for pussies.

Stuff In the Olives: the only acceptable stuff is blue cheese 'cause we're Michigan fans aint we?  But, try to stuff an olive and you'll quickly find that to be some high effort isht, bruh. You'll get the same effect by keeping some blue cheese crumbles dry and near by. In summary, stuffing those little effers is too much maintencance, so screw all that. And you know what being high maintenance is for...that's right, pussies.

How dirty?: Filthy, man. Obviously. Dont be a pussy.

Shaken or Stirred?: I hesitate to legitimize the question. Let's just say James Bond is a pussy.

 

Dont mess this up, fellas. Its acutally pretty simple.

Salud!

Drinking Dirty Bastard while brewing my own batch of Belgian White home brew. The kitchen is cozy warm from the boil with a nice nasal bouquet of malt, orange honey, and hops.

buddy of mine talked us into going steelheading on the 'mighty mo' in january a few years back.  the high temp never got to zero.  we caught one, had a couple of other tugs.   he ended up writing an article about steelheading every month of the year.  he is a fine fisherman.

Haven't drank all week, just getting over a month-long sickness (and drinking wasn't speeding up the process). Being productive tonight by getting rid of a bunch of old shit that's taking up space. Cross country skiing in the morning and maybe some beers tomorrow afternoon

Got t-boned on my way home from work tonight. Thankfully I wasn't hurt but I am guessing my car is totaled. Also thankful I wasn't at fault at al. Sipping some knob creek single barrel right now.

I was driving a Malibu and I was hit by a explorer. No idea what I am going to replace it with yet. Car wasn't paid off yet so I guess it will depend upon how much extra I have as a down payment. Wife already ruled out anything fun.
