Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[coolerifyoudid]

Bad day?

Dumb stuff. My entire family woke up in a crappy mood this morning and getting out of the house was just an ordeal. I'll bounce back. My personality doesn't let me be crabby for too long.

I'm just too boring with my "beer palate". I don't drink a lot of beer (as an older woman, you don't buy beer - you rent it), but when I do I tend to stick with one that I know I like. I'm not fond of cans or tap, so that limits me. If I'm ordering a beer or buying a six, 99% of the time it will be Dos Equis Amber.

The difference from regular Dos Equis and Dos Equis Amber is night and day. It's like Heineken and Heineken Dark.

Here is a picture of a table holding the meat for a meat raffle.

They should draw chalk outlines of a cow and a pig and put the meat in the appropriate section. Then just hope nobody brings hot dogs.

Those oranges are disturbing. It's a damn meat raffle, not a stinkin' fruit raffle.

Maybe they're blood oranges

And this meat sits out at room temperature the whole time?
YIKES!!!

If you bid on the chicken, it comes with a voucher for a free ambulance ride.

I'm at trucker Disney world. Stuck in a long line and some jackwagon (all have Minny plates) won't move forward unless there is huge gaps. Screws everything up, and jams stuff up behind them.

Looks like I am going to have to go over to the UK about June 25 - July 8th for the project we were doing on that conference call. I have no idea why I would need to be there so long but maybe I'll actually get a chance to see something this go round. Last time all I saw was a hotel and data center.

My dad was admitted to the hospital last week. Things took a bad turn Saturday/Sunday and he passed away last night. Didn't really feel like myself, so I didn't particularly feel like posting.

You have my condolences Pants. Sympathy sent your way.

 

[Cy Hard]

Yes, thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Mostly the same here. There are some days though...you start off on a wrong foot and it just takes a bit to get back on track. The older I get, the less tolerance I seem to have for "dumb stuff".

And that means absolutely nothing to me. Is that good or bad?

Where in the UK?

Where in the UK?

Horsham which is about 30 miles south of London. Hopefully better than Dudley

My old job kept threatening that I needed to be in the U.K. for long periods of time. I pushed back because I didn't think it was necessary but I should have just gone along with it and paid for my wife to come over as well so we could at least enjoy the country together.

Hopefully you'll be able to meander north and spend a little sight-seeing time in London.

There are way too many IPA's that really don't taste THAT much different from one another. Or maybe my tastebuds are getting old

FIFY

(Lot of fixing going on this past week)

I detest regular Heineken and Dos Equis, but the amber and dark versions of them aren't too bad.

I wish brewers would stop using clear and green bottles. Light just skunks the beer so badly.

Guinness when I can. I like stout beers.

I think that's actually a small turkey or a large chicken. Unless they have a package of teriyaki kabobs with pineapple, there is never fruit at a meat raffle.

Somebody's hair is getting pretty long. Might be time for baby's first haircut.

Really cute kid, GTO.

Dagnabbit, you're right. I saw the color on the package and thought it was the red netting in a bag of oranges.

OK, now we're back to good...nothing wrong with a meat raffle. I think I may have to talk to the local brewery about starting one up. We'll do it up right with some local beef or heirloom pork.

Thanks! It's been just him and I for the past couple of days while my oldest is in summer camp and wife is at her conference. It's been a nice and relaxing time (when I'm not checking work).
