Drinking is a hobby right?

Same here. IMHO the only liquor more distasteful that scotch is GIN.
GAG…..

BoF

I went on a gin sampling kick and only few that I care for use more as a mass quantity mixer.
There is a brewery/stiller up the road and he makes a kick ass black pepper fermented garlic gin that makes a good shooter or the best bloody marry. So Hawg an I experimented with a few gins and also replicating his pepper garlic gin and pretty much nailed it. So I went a step further and did it with Vodka and moonshine. Nailed it.
My top 4 Gins that I like
Hendricks
Amsterdam
Gibblys

Fuck the south side of Chicago, actually fuck all of it!

I was there once by mistake, NEVER AGAIN!!

Ahhh, Younger days my friend, younger and dumber days. I was born and raised there. I'll never go back to living there again but I visit every now and again. In the summer. I still have friends and some family left there.

No drinking for me for a couple of days. I was out working in the yard yesterday with all the pollen and dust and when I blew my nose to get all that crap out I broke a blood vessel. Couldn't get it to stop so MG got me to the ER. (Yes, she got to drive my truck.) Spent half the night. They got it stopped by essentially sticking what I am calling a telephone pole up my nose. (NOT FUN!) So, I got to ease up on everything for a few days till the vessel heals. Then I get to have the telephone pole pulled back out of my nose. I am guessing that's not going to be fun either. I'll be ready for a drink by then.

Oh crap! That sucks! Pics of bloody paper towels used on the way to the ER?

Prior to meeting MG, I'd bet you would have just rubbed dirt in it to stop the bleeding and had a drink, right?

All kidding aside, hope everything works out ok, and might need to find out why it broke, 3 inches behind your nose is your melon, don't want to have a stroke from blowing your nose or any nonsense like that.

PO is the master of understatement. There's still blood all over the house; after 30 min of gushing I called for an ambulance, they worked on him here for an hour, then loaded him up. I followed in his truck - which was a real trick at 11pm, having never driven it before (dayum there's a lot of tricks, push button to start? wtf is that??) and I dont drive at night anymore, pitch black country roads... What could possibly go wrong. LOLOL It all worked out though - and I got him home safe. He already wants to get up and get at it but that's not going to happen. I don't think he realized how effective I am when I say "Get your ASS back in that chair!!" Whatta guy!!

Glad to hear that all is well and y'all have a good story to tell!

This brings up a good point that all folks at our age level should think about when they are looking to move to their dream homestead in rural America;

Assess the Health Care situation. Hospitals, ER's Urgent Care, Maintenance Care, Paramedics/Fire Dept. etc

Yep, that's what I wanted to do, rub some dirt on it and walk it off, but she laid down the law. She is fierce when she goes into protection mode. Funny thing, the Doc was mostly OK with my blood pressure, it was little high but that was because they were getting ready to shove a freakin telephone pole up my nose.
