And we are off to a great start today. Hotwater heater wasnt working. Go downstairs to check it out and there was a pile of puke sheets in the bathroom. Curious what soon to be college frosh boy is the puker.
It has been on the outs but since the wife showers first in the morning I havent got it fixed. If I unplug it fires right back up.
Tito's is considered "good" vodka by many. Not me, as I think vodka is basically vodka for the most part, but it goes for a premium at bars.
I came back over a winter break in college and ruined a quarter of beef my dad had just bought. Apparently I came home looking for ice cream and left the deep freeze in the basement open all night. He was… not pleased.
Tito’s was the #1 liquor brand in Iowa last year.
Top 10 Liquor Brands In Iowa
- Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey
- Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum
- Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
- Hawkeye Vodka
- McCormick Vodka
- Smirnoff Vodka
- Jack Daniels Black Label Whiskey
- Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey
- Crown Royal Regal Apple Canadian Whiskey
I am just happy Hawkeye is falling off. Purely being sold as being cheap and having Hawkeye on it.
Sam went dry I believe. That could be the drop right there.
My wife uses Tito's for her Vodka soda and I'm a Captain and Coke guy, so great to see we've helped out keep both up in the top 5. 
I think Tito's is really good for the price. Very easy to drink.
It's not Grey Goose or Belvedere but it's not in that price range either. I think it's significantly better than the other vodkas in its price range (e.g. Absolut and Stoli).
You can make a decent dirty martini with it and it doesn't ruin a vodka cranberry.
Last weekend, I had a guys' weekend in Atl.
My wife just left for California for a girls' weekend.
We should probably vacation together some time but having a puppy makes it hard to do.

Air BnBs that are driveable are a good way to do this kind of thing.
...and it begins. We just got notification that our flight has been changed from 11.30a to 6.30p. Which puts us into Istanbul around 9.30p. I have two problems with that:
DSM is notorious for delayed flights. If our flight is screwed up in DSM, we will miss our connections in Chicago & Frankfurt, and will likely lose a full day of our cruise extension in Turkey (it has happened to us before...). And the second - arriving at 9.30p gets us to our hotel around 11.30p. Last time this happened (different company) we got to the hotel and not only had the travel agent with Viking already left hours ago, the hotel had cancelled our reservation.
I'm already stressing and we don't leave for another four weeks.

That's a big flight time change. Could you drive to Chicago and fly directly from there at a more reasonable time?...and it begins. We just got notification that our flight has been changed from 11.30a to 6.30p. Which puts us into Istanbul around 9.30p. I have two problems with that:

Nope. Tickets are prepurchased. If you skip one leg, it nullifies all the rest of the flights, including the return flight.
