I could drink that.

I suppose that would still be drinkable.

Very awesome Bryan, congrat!!! Al: The trip looks great!

Agreed and agreed! Having a Screwdriver with Tito's Handmade Vodka and Simply Orange Juice High Pulp. Takes me back to college (except then I was probably using Tropicana and Stoli).

Agreed!

Started out opening up a bottle of 2010 Alamos Malbec. The taste was bad and the smell reminded me of puke... so it was dumped. Now I am having some 2008 Norton Reserva Malbec - about a million times better than the Alamos. Since I am not asian, I thought it would be quite inappropriate to post a shirtless pic though.

Happy Birthday Scott!

Happy birthday Justin (even though you so cheater).

At some point I had a plan to build my own compost tumbler. I had a difficult time trying to find a decent priced but sturdy bin to make it out of so today I gave in and bought a Lifetime Compost Tumbler from Lowe's. I started putting it together, thinking that it would actually be easier than building one from scratch. I am not so sure. Do they actually do a practice build before putting these on the market (including screws that are too long for their purpose, etc.)?

In.

Dang, that sucks Ric...

I having no trouble making is disappear.

A Manhattan-like drink... 2 oz Wild Turkey Rare Breed 1 oz Punt E Mes 1 dash Regans' orange bitters 1 dash cherry bitters pretty good.

Wayne, you really are starting to look like Santa!

@Ric: If you want the Parasound back, I would be perfectly happy to sell it back to you. It is awesome but don't really *need* it (and it is a little bit larger than I would prefer to have on my desk). Just let me know.

Congrat Ian!

Unless I have been sleep posting, it is safe to assume I didn't post that. Anyway, why would I know anything about cock bars?

Will look for this. I like Malbec. Jeez Al, you know how to travel!

Wait, wut? What did the edited post say? I usually only edit a post for typos or clarifications, and usually within a minute or so of the original post. What did I miss? Thanks for looking out for me Greg.

Airplane Negronis! Nice. I have been wanting to compare a couple of my favorite DIPAs and got a change to go it today: Dreadnaught and Pliny the Elder. The winner: Dreadnaught, but they are both mighty fine beers.

The Millionaire (slight variation of the recipe in "Vintage") 3/2 oz Smith & Cross rum 3/4 oz Plymouth Sloe gin 1/2 oz R&W Apricot Liqueur 1 fresh squeezed lime

^Nice! SF has some nice cocktail bars.

Al, sucks about the delay. Yep, definitely cuter.

Ok, upon further inspection of the bugs we caught last night, it seems that they are winged carpenter ants. Not sure that it much better though.

Me too. I'll have to see if I can find an aardvark in the back yard.
