There should always be room for some Carpano Antica (although I do wish they made a 750ml bottle).

I shall begin the update then.

At this point, I would be quite happy to have a hurricane come through here. I feel like the kids in Holes. Red meat is good.

Haj: It is probably too late but if you need it sooner, and you are looking for a S-M, I would be happy to sell/send you mine (I haven't used it, the pro speed belt, yet). I could send it usps priority tomorrow which could be there on Friday if you were lucky. I got a few more cocktail books in the mail today (and a Lightroom book).

You can send some rain this way. UPS or Fedex ground is fine. Brent, I no nothing of what you speak but it doesn't sound fun. Wayne: The vinyl wrap sound like a great idea. Maybe you can make sure the neighbor's vinyl has lots of rats and maggots to go with the junk.

I don't think my husband would be too keen on this. @Colin: Please post pics of brisket when it finishes this fall.

Don't ever let anyone know that you are competent.

Sorry Brent.

Camus Cognac VSOP

Nice "little" haul Mikey.

Approved.

I bet this is pretty nice. Having something red myself: Stag's Leap Artemis with med rare ribeye steak cooked on the BBQ, baked potato and brocoli - I do like.

Yay for Dusty's mom!

Cool! I love mine.

Exactly what I was thinking, teehee.

Fresh cherries and greek yogurt - what a great simple dessert.

Sorry to take so long to get these picture up - it slipped my mind. Let me know if you wanted something more than this (like the digital holster on the bag, on a person, etc.). For reference, I have fairly small hands.

That looks reeeaaaaaallllly good Mike.

2 bottles of 2007 Stag's Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 3 pounds of roasted hot Hatch peppers

Blackwood's gin + Dolin Dry martini. Yum.

I like the bacon.

2-3 hours is pretty much on schedule for Amtrak. Glad you had fun. Last time I rode Amtrak, the train unfortunately hit a truck and killed a person (probably a suicide which seems to be fairly). We ended up 12 hours late (for what was supposed to be a 6 hour train ride). Of course, I cannot really blame that on Amtrak I suppose. Today I spent the day mostly indoors just as I have for the last two weeks. This is our 14th straight day of over 100 degree weather (I believe this is the hottest August on record). The only good thing is that there is a chance that we may get a tiny bit of rain! This year has been really bad. We have had around 5" of rain for all of 2011 and most of that was in January. I think I remember it raining maybe two or three times in the last 6 months. Usually we have around 4-5" per month (and usually more during the summer). Our foundation is really shifting because of the dry weather. I was going to wait for the rain to come back before having it repaired. I just hope all of our trees survive the extreme drought. We have 3 very large live oaks in the front and three other large trees in the backyard. I would really hate to lose the live oaks, they are around 70 years old I think. OK, enough of my complaining.

There is a chance that Monday might be bad for me. I would prefer to not have it on Friday night but could do it if it were the only day available.

Yep, I think I would like this better. Must be part of the heritage.

That sucks Fitz!
