Title: What A Nice Day!
Post by: rgfixit on Jun 19, 2019, 04:43 PM
Took a day off from "work" and went fishing. Got on the water right about 5 am . The canal was a carpet of cottonwood seed. Couldn't troll at all so went to plan "B" and caught some crappies, gills and a few nice perch. It got really warm....near 80 and I quit around noon.

Came home, mowed both properties and relaxed with my Bride under the maple tree. A couple cold porters, food on the Weber.........what a nice day!

Got up to maybe 72-73 today on Erie.
No clouds.
Stellar day for sure.
Did some more work on the place and finished the book I had intended to finish earlier in the week.
Sitting at a pot luck dinner (slash) meeting right now.
Places are still under water but somehow we will find a way to have a fire tonight.

Such a nice August Saturday. 80, low humidity,  cleaned all the windows, took he trash to the dump, mowed and trimmed, gardened, cuke and tomato sandwich from the garden for lunch, Yankees won the first of a double header, Zweigles on the grill for supper, York peppermint patties and bourbon for desert.........


What a nice day. Hope all had as good a day.

  It was a perfect day, despite working. I took a wonderful nappiepoo after work, then went out to the garden and harvested a boat load of pickles and peas, tomatoes are loaded but stubbornly still green. Cukes are being eaten daily, and I'm infatuated with Zoodles.... I made more last night using cream cheese and garden fresh garlic and herbs instead of borsin and it was amazing, paired with Venison and cuke salad again. I could eat that every day and some days twice. Going to try a "Vegettie" pie as soon as I get some Roma's to ripen. Prime rib dinner tonight at the in-laws for Lisa's birthday, 27 zucchini on the table, might just bring a few over to be kind  ;D

Four Rose's small batch

Tried both of the above as well as Eagle rare, Makers Mark, VanWinkle, and on and on. I've tried bourbons from $20 to $200.

Evan Williams Black Label is a really good, reasonably priced bourbon. There's usually some around here to share. The single barrel is heads above and reserved for my son and I.

But, everyone's pallet is different. Enjoy responsibly. All things in moderation.

 I like the Evans Williams , Ezra Brooks isn’t bad , both priced right
  But my summer choice is a good old Vodka 7 and lemon , and not bashful ones 😉

Stouts are ok. I prefer porter. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald is a favorite of my son and I. Anchor Porter is my personal #1.

Beyond that, I like Heineken about as much as anything.

Took a few days vacation from my "job". Can't believe I get 3 weeks paid vacations from a stupid part time job at Lowes.

Anyway, my Bride and I went for a nice ride out to Hamlin Beach State Park today. Relaxed....perfect weather..dipped my toes in the lake........had a nice lunch....did some people watching......what a nice day!
