After Saturday at the beach, got home to finish up the yard work and run arrands, just sucked down a Rolling Rock, might have one more this sunny Sunday.

bluesboy came over to lament the closing of his shop by the fire marshall.  We had a couple of Budlights and two vodka martinis with jalapeno stuffed olives and a pearl onion.  bluesboy seemed to be feeling better when his designated driver showed up.  Go figure

Never made it to the frosty pitcher of margeritas- no driver- stayed home. A nice cold pilsner urquel helped to kill the searing heat. May be cool enough to sneak out on the patio for a dram of lagavulen and a Cohiba??? naw - i will stay inside for a ketle and tonic-- Dammit   &%^&^^!!!! out of limes!!!!!!!!! Old lady used the last one cooking- ARGGGGG!!!!!!! Guess it is back to beer- work nite anyway

Headed home at warp speed after a awful day at work. I in for a Vodka martini in about 20 mins. The DIre Straits CD I got for father's day is sounding good in spite of these awful BLOWS speakers.Save me a seat.

Which Dire Strait's CD?  Have a G&T going now.

JB - greatest hits- like 16 tracks- starts off with sultans- has- so far away- money for nothing- heavy fuel - calling elvis

great sutff- I am rediscovering Dire straits- buying every m. knoffler CD that I can find

Great driving music

At the hacienda now- enjoying a Gentleman Jack and coke- apologies to the Burbon purists

tarheel - are you around???

Yes here somewhere.  Rarely have a drink till the weekend and the licquor cabinet is at an all time low  Got to make a run to the ABC store.

I collected about all of Mark Knopfler's cds as well.  The sound/recording is very good on all of the ones I have.

Cheers gents.

After hauling up huge 350 lb boulders on my makeshift sled and constructing some stone steps I chugged two Miller drafts.

Back from the Montreal jazzfest/Canada day and another Buddy Guy music fix. Up since 5am this morning to get an early flight back to charlotte. 4 day drinkfest with no driving to worry about. Food was unbelievable-(as usual). lots of Molson Export- Red label - not available here for some very stupid reason. Lots of KILLER Italian wine- Big boys- Brunellos- Barolas-Barbaras (love the 3 Bs) consumed  while watching some of the most beautiful women in the world walk by in the perfect 70 degree weather.

Bad news- I am jetlagged all to heck- My previously crushed ankle from last year is killing me form all that walking and standing for  hours at a time in concert halls then walikng a mile back to the hotel several times- My liquior cabnet is bare big time.

Good news- there are -amazingly- 8 cold Hienekins in the fridge that my son left before going back to college. And the liquior store is gonna be open for another hour. Gonna be a great holiday. Everybody be safe- cheers

Sunday aftrnoon with a table full of great food - some Kettel and OJ.What a great weekend. Coronas BBQ and fireworks last nite til 3 Am. I am geting too old for this stuff. Anybody hanging out today??

Sipping on a cold Corona and lime- yeah - I know- don't fruit the beer and yada yada- thse were on sale for 10 dollars a 12 pack so i wil be drinking Corona for the next few months. Loaded the tahoe down with 12 packs- I find them refreshing during hot weather

Anybody hanging out?? i seem to be keeping this place open by myself.
