Thread: What are you drinking today?

^ There goes a man who drinks his beer with humans for company!

Who shall I take bets with? None of my dogs understand the concept of time, let alone betting.

I do the ice in mugs with water. Never beer. But I do understand why one would add ice to some beers here. Dilutes the awful taste and can stretch out a beer for a bit longer with the ice melting.

It's funny because until I arrived here I had never seen anyone ever put ice in a beer. The first time a gal brought me a little ice bucket to the table with a Leo I thought. Great., so I moved the ice around and put the bottle in it to keep it cool. Got some funny stares.

I prefer my beer warm.

Had a nice refreshing can of 7UP before, hit the spot better than any beer....well almost

Ohhhh. Just stop already Joe.

Yesterday afternoon enjoyed this import from UK.

Picked up a case of the IPA's and if you buy 12, you get a nice glass to enjoy them in. Took a nice refreshing dip in the pool and enjoyed some music.

^ Someone's nicked your hammock.

^^ What's your pool temp like at the moment Stumpy? Ours is staying a lot cooler than normal so far this year.

I only bring that one out if guests come by. I have my hammock underneath by the fridge and TV... Priorities ya know.

Water is 80F currently. Jacuzzi about the same. Its still cool in the mornings at 60F or so. I am running the pump in the early morning from 2 am to 5 am to circulate the cooler water.

80F... you Americans!

How does that compare to 28C?

Quick calculation in my head Mendy puts you at about 82F. Us "Mercans" are odd...I know.

Take no notice Stumpy, All Brits tell the temperature in Fahrenheit when the 2 days of Summer come.

Raw finely chopped ginger and gut rot Napoleon brandy

Friday it is. Had a few BeerLao IPA's while I worked around the compound.

Cracked open a very nice Angel Envy Rye. Excellent nose. Caramel, Charred Oak. 100 Proof. Definitely not for those who like fruit ciders...

Looks like a nice drop JP, what did it taste like?

I concur with the fruity ciders

Had a really nice smooth taste as most Ryes do. Why I have been leaning towards Rye's. The draw was short too which is nice versus those long draws with some Bourbons when enjoyed neat.

WhistlePig and MinorCase are the best 100% Rye's I have enjoyed.

I had a few Leos with my Welsh mate tonight... but it's always nice to have a solitary nightcap once you get home to contemplate matters.

I'll be off to Tromso in a week or so and after seven months in Isaan it'll be a shock to the system.

The slightly uneasy pack situation plays on my mind. As does the daughter's education, as does the survival of my new Rosemary plants. Oh, I hope the wife will be OK as well.

Anyway, when I mentioned that I didn't get a single pressie for my B'day this week I lied a little bit... trying to play on the sympathy card. I apologise for that... I did in fact treat myself to a rare bottle of Ya Dong to mark the occasion.

A pina co-orange juice-a along the beach to celebrate getting me nails done.



Didn't get one for the kid because they were 150thb.


'You're allergic to oranges' really is a great lime.

Do you want another Roblox money card....




or a MYSTERY gift?

The MYSTERY gift sounds just fine, thanks Edmond!

You'll have to pay a bit more for postage this time though because I only have a week.

Oi! Whaddya call your very own birthday thread!

A nice cool down beverage after the temp dropped below 100.
