I'll be sitting at home quietly as the rest of the family enjoys a Happy New Year libation. How saintly can one person be?
Oh yes, and I'll be taking the antibiotics till the end of May. When that ends I'll be catching up.
Have a Happy New Year every one and may every build you do next year be perfect right from the start.

I had my customary two glasses of cabernet sauvignon with dinner. That will be my tribute to the New Year. That, and trying to keep my dogs from reacting to the inevitable fireworks later tonight.
Happy New Year members. Hope 14 is a good one for you and yours.

Now drinking;
Gotta love Knob Creek. It's like half the price of Blantons and very very good. A little too good, the stuff is very flavorful and needs just a wee bit of water. One ice cube is perfect as long as you don't let it melt more than half way -

I'm not a fire water drinker unless it is mixed and then usually vodka or a light flavor. So I had beer and vodka, but saw a flock of about 30 wild turkeys after leaving camping OHV trail riding my motor bike over the New Year. Those wild turkeys you can't drink!
There was some left over snow from an earlier weather system. I saw it even at maybe a 1000ft elevation, but not on the trails where it was about 4000ft, just mud and water in some areas.

Kinda strong for a stout @ 14.2% abv

I hope everyone survived the New Year celebration. No accidents? No DUIs?
Good! No one needs that.
The fireworks and gun shots were minimal this year. Too cold to be outside I suppose.
My dogs slept through most of the noise.

Yup, no problems here. The good bourbon gave me a big case of the sleepys and I was in the sack and unconcious when the new year struck.
First year for that for me. I always stayed up to hear all the noise at midnite.
Funny how the relative importance of things changes as you age.

Yep. I can remember when I was one of those out there making all the noise. Now, all I want is 
and quiet. I don't need all the hoop-la to usher in a new year. In fact I don't even see the significance. It's just a date on the calendar.

Happy New Year!
Just for you Scott. I've been enjoying a bottle of this with supper for about a case now.
Good stuff. A nice lager, 5%, with a nice medium flavor. Goes good with any food. Or just by itself.

Wow, someone besides Red Stripe that still uses stubbies... I admit, I miss the old stubby bottles. Drinking from the current standard long neck just isn't the same.
Yeah, it's like drinkin' out of a can only with the class of a bottle -
You pay a nine percent penalty though, only 11 oz / bott.
It's good stuff, I keep buying it. Brewed in Oregon, maybe it's up your way too.

LOL, "stubbies". That reminds me of the Aussies I served with in Vietnam. They were always wanting to go to the officer's club and "toss back a couple of stubbies". That was their way of saying they wanted to have a beer or two. And believe me those guys could put away a few "stubbies"

The thing is, the stubby is actually a better bottle to drink out of.. when you tilt one, the liquid flows pretty smoothly out of the neck, unlike a long neck bottle. When you tilt one of those, the shape of the neck fights the air going in to displace the liquid, so they 'Gluck' and surge in the pour.
