MissouriPicker Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Mad Dog was a higher percentage of alcohol, I think. 18-19% or so. And don’t forget Thunderbird and Bali Hi. Seems there were dozens of those cheap “party wines.” Then in a few years most of them were gone. Sweet and fruity. Drink it like soda pop, get yourself drunk, then vomit while doing stupid stuff....lol.....those were the days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Finally had a thunderstorm. It cleared the air! But the brief rainstorm was crazy. It didnt just fall, it somehow blasted down from the sky. I heard somebody yelling outside; it was a council working fixing a streetlamp. I dont know if it was terror, frustration or anger. It might have been pain? He was being pressure washed after all. Eventually he got under a tree. Even my (usually bulletproof) full wet weather gear would not have coped with that. Maybe a 1 atmosphere diving suit? Anyway, its over now. The streetlamp is fixed and the sun is shining again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just gotten the dogs inside and it started. No wind, but a rain that came down so hard it roared. Did it for about 15 minutes then turned into a gentle shower that lasted untill around 11:00am. We needed it. Been pretty dry for last few weeks. Also, it knocked the daytime temperature down to the low 70s. Sure beats the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hangover Day 1. Of 2. Not fair. Or, rather, it's very precise punishment. Still don't like it. Aussie wines are sneaky. The Chardonnays are so good. Great wines, kangaroos, Digger and Crocodile Dundee. What's not to like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gibson Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Went to town last night and came upon a semi vs pickup head on,couple of drunk natives crossed the center line and if not for quick reaction of the farmer who braked and cranked the wheel at the last moment he only clipped passenger side of pickup. They rolled the the pickup and both got ejected out into the field,one was laying face down,but alive the other got up and dusted himself off and went to his passenger. The semi driver who is a farmer,had serious but not life threatening injuries. Edited August 30, 2020 by Mr. Gibson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 If you go 10 or 11 posts up you will see the mixing bowl with yeast starting to bloom. Its fresh dough. Water, flour, yeast, honey, oil and salt. Then let the mixer to the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of pizzarias will sell you balls of uncooked dough if you ask. Hidden menu item. Making dough with a mixer is easy. I can't make a crust round to save my life. I started making it after watching Bobby Flay make dough on one of his shows, and said "I can do that". Was in Walmart one day after the show aired and one of those fancy mixers was on sale. Took a few tries to get it right. I just started doing it again after taking a break from it. I would rather eat my pizza than most places. The best place around here closed.

SteveFord Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Wife is vomiting and took to bed, agonized over the purchase of a Marshall amp and finally bought one, played through the 100W half stack to make sure it won't catch on fire when turned on, bought the electrical guts from a 2020 Les Paul Standard (P90s for a Firebird, rest of it for a Les Paul Special), read part of Madeline Albright's Fascism: A Warning out in the sun with the tortoises and now time to go dodge giant carnivorous lizards and feed hungry boa constrictors. I'll give the monitors some hot dogs to keep them occupied for a moment. They just gulp them right down. Taking the Sunday afternoon nap without the dog snoring away is still really strange.

uncle fester Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Wife just gave myself and my youngest a haircut... if nothing else, already saved over $200 on haircuts since this pandemic hit.

SteveFord Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Thank you, they gave her a bunch of meds at the hospital yesterday, she says she thinks she lost 30 pounds losing all of the stored up water. My favorite monitor lizard, Squirrley, died today. This year has been the s hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 And yet, we still have stories on the news this morning: "Experts warn of surge in Coronavirus cases this Fall." Because some people broke 'lockdowns' and went out to the beaches this Labor Day weekend. Which, of course isn't even over. Sounds like the 'experts' are just using the same press releases they used for Fourth of July. And ironically, the same politicians who said the lockdown would be over when we had a vaccine, are now saying - they won't trust the science ! I think 'what I'm doing today' is taking a holiday from "the news". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 PA is still going up a steady 6-700 cases per day so that explains why the news sounds the same. I just got back from buying a cooler full of frozen rats and rabbits from a guy who had the cornavirus last Spring. Big, burly Harley guy, 50 years old, he said he thought he was going to die when he had it and it did permanent damage to his leg and hip joints. He was walking like a robot, the poor guy.
