Blaze & Daze

On my last foray into the alcohol void Aug 2022 we had a big party here at my house. 100 people. CO famous Bluegrass band. Food/booze/raffle/etc.

Margaritas were always my go -to in the day. >>True< margs are almost straight up booze. (none of that sweet crap/mixer) I made 6 gallons of em.

Stupidly...I got hammered. I mean hammered. It was a 3K evening and I remember about 1K of it. I can hold myself OK when loaded...I just black the Hell out. I can't even remember everyone leaving/etc. Only came around when I felt that fun urge to purge about 1 am... uuuhhhumm. Yup. Fun.

tequila is like morphine to me. it quite literally makes me happy. and then i have another drink because buzzed logic is telling me that another one means i'll be twice as happy, right? and then a third means i'm dizzy. by four i'm slurring and obnoxious. and my hang-xiety is the WORST. i've had full-day panic attacks the day after drinking too much. just isn't worth it at all.

I got a giant toblerone a few years ago and it was the same... just too much.

Why do people decide you need giant candies?

Good question fatten me up?

Nobody ever buys me Texas mickeys

My wife is being hosted elsewhere tonight for dinner after delivering a guest lecture. An Old Fashioned is in my future. For Leap Day.

Anybody else help corral a Buffalo that was on the lam this morning? No? Just me?
Pulled out of the driveway this morning and saw a car stopped in the street before the Buffalo pasture and noticed them all down in the sun right by the fence so I just assumed the car had stopped to take pictures. I do it all the time and I live across the street. Then as the car started to move along slowly, I realized one of the herd was on the wrong side of the fence so I whipped into the farmers driveway and rang the bell. She came out and we kind of just kept an eye on her and watched her figure her way back into the pasture. I had Yellowstone tourist videos just running on a loop in my head as we were out in the yard watching that giant ass Buffalo just meandering about trying to figure out how to get back in. Lol. She eventually found her way back in unscathed.

Good morning all.

She is looking at you like "hey, you know I can help dig that hole, right?"

my girl helps every year when it's time to plant potatoes. i yell, "DIG!" while pointing to the spot. then when she's gone deep enough, i say, "that'll do." and she stops. we're like Hoggett and Babe LOL

The gas company will move it and put in the gas line extension. I just had to dig it out and pour the concrete pilings for it to sit on. All to make way for a concrete sidewalk.

That's good. I had some wild scenarios with a bobcat. I'm sure they'll have a crane.

Mornin' kids...

Much respect on the kick. Lots of us fucked up. LOL.

I stopped drinking in the mid-90's. I've been stupid a few times since but never go back/always remember WHY it's the worst fucking crap ass drug there is everytime I step back in the ring. If booze is legal...why aren't all the other hard drugs legal? Makes no sense here. Alcohol is equal to heroin in it's addictive properties.... yet...it's everywhere.

Kicked the narcs after 10 years of Pain Management and the related fun associated with all of that. Got sick of it all one day and just made the call. Spent a hellish week curled up in a ball wanting to die.

But I'll still chose narcs over booze if I'm being stupid. Narcs are limited in supply/looked down upon. Booze just isn't. It's so glorified...it's crazy.

Morning
Thanks for that

Rose is always digging and I am always filling it back in. Seems once I fill it in, she doesn't dig in that exact spot again but finds new place to dig.

Yeah I have as well. Currently have a 35hp tractor with all the attachments including backhoe. My government safety inspector (wife) is always keeping me up to date on safety issues. Yeah

Chop and shave into cooking maybe

I used to work for Anheuser Busch We in the maintenance department tried but they always seemed to brew it faster than we could drink it;
