    ... better hope for some global warming. that is well out of "smoking season" here and well into "lake effect snow season"

    then again the local shop wouldnt mind if its snowing one bit.

    it does. i just dont see the wife letting a random group of guys all smoke cigars in the attic. if you wanna get technical I cant smoke in the attic. I do, but at great risk to my life.

    Maybe if you had a posse, you could be more assertive.

    just because i have 4 people with me doesnt mean the police will be ok with me robbing a bank.

    It all likelihood you are endangering not only your life, but ours as well. I assume. Do we actually have great reason to fear you wife? Or is it mostly just talk?

    in all seriousness...

    we do have a no smoking rule in the house. I have brought up the idea of a poker night with my friends and we play in the attic.. open the wiindows and run fans so we can smoke cigars and we discussed it at length. we decided that it would not happen.
    trying to persway me to break my own house rules wont really work.

    Oh I'm with you on the no smoking in the house. There is a firm no smoking rule in my house and its MY rule. My wife would smoke in the house if i was ok with it. I put too much work into rehabing my house for all that sweat equity to be wasted bc the house wreaks like smoke. I was just teasing about the attic. However I was slightly curious if your wife is actually a fear-inspiring woman.

    But it does give you 4x the firepower when the shootin' starts.

    Sounds to me like that attic is the spot, then.

    And with that, I'm signing off for a while. I've been at work for 26 hours straight. I'm going home, taking a nap, having a seegar, & generally being lazy.

    id rather have it in the back yard anyway.


    fire pit.


    need i say more?
    the local shop isnt too bad either. If we hold it there there is a good chance i can get some discount on cigars. plus they have a good lounge. good people in that place.

    I tried 2 beers early today...just wasn't doing it or me. So I moved to my goto drink, Crown and Sweet Tea (yes, really) and it has hit the spot as my first drink back home. Can't wait to watch my Gators put it on Miami tonite while drinking it and smoking a cigar.

    Attaboy! (I used to enjoy a Hangar gimlet, but it's been a while.)

    Congratulations, Kuzi! But I thought a Gimlet used Rose's Lime Juice. In fact, I'm sure of that.

    im not sure if roses is a requirement. i looked it up online and many had that listed but most just said lime.

    I'm pretty sure that if I were a bartender and somebody ordered a gimlet, and I gave them gin and regular lime juice, they'd go phobicsquirrel on my ass ;) (just kidding but I wanted to get that in there!)

    If you're going to use lime juice, you would typically splash in a touch of bar syrup to sweeten things up. Many bartenders will toss in a bit of sour mix instead as their go-to sweetener for everything. Incidentally, a gimlet made with fresh-squeezed lime juice and some simple syrup tastes very different from (and much better than) the Rose's lime, although most bars I've been to just use Rose's, and I know that's what we used where I worked, back in the day.

    im almost 100% sure it was fresh lime. this drink was awesome. plus, the bill for dinner was 126 and change. it was great food. I had Chilian sea bass cooked with rock shrimp, shitaki mushrooms, and miso. the wife had sun dried tomato crusted grouper. seriously doubt they used roses mix.

    tonight in continued celebration, we are opening the last bottle of one of our favorite wines: Barton & Guestier Sauvignon Blanc, 2003 Bordeaux.

    this had been a regular in our wine selection for a year or two before we got married. the week we did we went to the store to get some more and found that it was on clearance and was going to be discontinued. we bought the last case. this is the last bottle out of that case. Whites tend not to age well and it may be just past its peak. much like cigars though, it was made to be consumed. it looks good in the bottle but i get no joy from looking at it, just from drinking it. I hope i can find this wine again somewhere.
