Popular Post El Presidente Posted August 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2022 Caught up with good friends last night. Always a blast. Perfect weather. Up late, and down to the beach now. Coming out of winter, I am as white as a ghost so no doubt I will be burnt to a crisp. Post beach quick gym session and then a long lunch at Pier 33 before a beach walk, maybe a fish and then a well earned cigar. How is your weekend shaping up? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bri Fi Posted August 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2022 Got drunk last night on Chardonnay. Had a nudies ROTT. It was fantastic. Hats off to FOH and hamlet for that creation... Little hungover today. Still took the kids to a 4 year old bday party and it was 100 degrees. Pushed through the hangover and worked-out while the kids napped. I think I’ll have light beer tonight by the pool. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched Chiefs play Ken's Washington Commando's and now smoking N3 from previous batch. Tomorrow going to get more work done in the AM so not buried Monday morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 3 or 4 miles from our new house to the sand and ocean 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kitchen Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 Late night smoking! Jalapeno harvest is looking nice this year, along with other peppers, and I am smoking them into chipotles. I will probably do this a couple more time before canning them in adobe sauce for the year. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read it takes like 30 hours to fully dry them out. I grew a lot of Jalapenos this year, and I am into old school preservation methods, so here we go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bill Hayes Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 Saturday, went to watch a young cousin play in a football final then back to his family residence to celebrate his brother's 18th b'day with, what we call, the Cousin Crew. Just a bunch of Irish gypsies living in the burbs. Ha ha! Great night with some top notch Penfolds reds and a barbecue with pork ribs, marinated chicken and lamb kofta skewers plus BBQ corn on the cob. Apparently there was salad. Ha ha! Watched the Tigers win in the AFL as the ladies and kids danced to 80's classics. Good night all round and no real hangover. Sunday, making a beef stew and watching more AFL while enjoying a Party PC and an iced coffee. Unfortunately, didn't win the lotto but got to be grateful that won the life lotto to grow up and live in a great country. Looks like my Tigers will probably play Brisbane in Brisbane on the weekend of my birthday if Collingwood beat Carlton today. Considering my birthday present be a flight up north to watch it live if I can make the finances work. Cheers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nevrknow Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 Son in laws birthday. Small gathering lined up. Wanted me to show up early to help him swap out some French doors leading to his deck. I said no problem, he already had everything measured and bought. I figured a one hour job. Tops. And it should have been. But. There’s always a but. Turns out he had been drinking while measuring, with a 3’ grandmas junk drawer tape measure. The small 1/8” wide ones. You know, what all the pros use. 🤦🏼Forgot the flashing AND whoever had framed it out previously had used the claws of a hammer to cut/hatchet the original framing instead of what we educated people refer to as a SAW! I can not/ will not abide sorry work so of course I’m ripping it all out and redoing it while sending him back to the store for more lumber. FOUR! Hours later, finishing up right before guests start arriving! One hour to FOUR hours job! Oh yea, I’m smiling thru gritted teeth. 😂 Profusely thanking me as I hand him a Siglo VI ( it is his birthday). Heard a guest tell him wow, great job on the door, and you were quick. Patricia is grabbing my forearm and pulling me outside as I start to move toward them. She knows me to well. Rum actually calmed me down as I puffed on a Lusi. Other than that great! And you? 😂😂😂😂😂 2 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cgoodrich Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 A year ago my wife lost 3 siblings in a 3 month span, so this last year has been a long grieving process for her. The Western Idaho Fair started on Friday, and much to my surprise she thought it would be nice to go. We didn’t play any of the games, or go on any rides, but we dined on fine (😂) fair cuisine and walked the animal/agricultural/arts & crafts expo buildings. She found a pair of hand made silver and gemstone earrings she was immediately attracted too, which was surprising as she is very fickle about her jewelry tastes. She looked at me and said “I want these” and I said absolutely! Temp was high (97°F, 36°C), but found plenty of shaded areas. No cigars, but that didn’t matter today. Ate more than we should, but it was just a wonderful time talking and people watching. She was happier than I’ve seen in over a year. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevrknow Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 No such thing as to much “ fine dining” at the fair! 👍🏻 ( personally I’m glad it’s only once a year here! I get miserable but damn if I don’t love it.) Live it up! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgoodrich Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Agree 100%, no fine dining at all! It brings back memories of days long past. Corn dogs, corn on the cob, funnel cakes, street tacos, shaved ice/snow cones. We did share a Diet Pepsi! 😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jakebarnes Posted August 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 Block party was yesterday. Gonna grab some brunch shortly and then hit up some of the porch concerts happening around my neighborhood. Looks like it should clear up by the time those start. Should be a nice little Sunday 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hoze Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Very grueling Sunday. Watching baseball, golf, maybe a little pre-season NFL, few dips in the pool, beer and maybe a margarita. Going to smoke/grill some chicken wings….been on a kick with lightly smoked crispy wings and different dips/sauces. Bed by 8pm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford2112 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 It is Car Week here on the Monterey Peninsula so a buddy and I are gonna cruise around and see if any of the Mclarens and Lamborghinis and whatnot are downtown or on Cannery Row. I'm gonna give him a PLPC and I'll smoke a 2019 Fundy to make up for that lackluster Vigia I smoked last night. Pics to follow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been down that road losing multiple family members in a short time frame. Glad to see your wife getting out and enjoying the state fair. Animals can provide a great deal of comfort in trying times! Hope you brought some Alka Seltzer or Pepto! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly neither of us had any issues. I think a lot of walking, water, and spread out the eating over a 5hr period helped. Plus zero stress!

BrightonCorgi Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Wife registered her Volvo for Swedish Car Day at Larz Anderson Auto Museum. The highest concentration of Swedish cars outside of Sweden is in MA. There must've been 300 cars there! That meant I was washing her car at 7:00 AM to get it ready. It's in the 90's today, so by 11 AM we headed home due to the heat. Didn't stop me from a going for a 25 mile bike ride that I just got home from. Rest of the afternoon will be Champagne and finishing a Noella that I started smoking at the car show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
