Speaking of old guys ....

I just came home to a surprise.

Mrs.E. somehow got me a bottle of Samuel Adams Utopia for Valentine's day.
Apparently it took quite a while to get.
Only 12000 bottles were produced. *I have bottle number 3061.

Feel kinda cheap because I had just come back from CVS picking up a card and
a stupid red Teddy Bear holding a lollipop or something for her.

Now, to plan the special occasion to try the beer. *You drink it as if it is
cognac, according to the directions. *I don't want to open it until there
are enough people here to enjoy it.

So what?

I'm going to take my wife to Costco for hot dogs. Beat that!- Hide quoted text -

John, you're just a hopeless romantic, aren't you?!

OK, OK...maybe we'll take our hot dogs outside and sit under the stars
and watch the moon rise.

They sucked when you all were bitching about Harry doing it.
BUT, they still suck even when you on the right are doing it.
If you all want to be like Harry, go ahead.
Personally, I wouldn't want that weight on my shoulders.

You are right. It's much more interesting reading about who you, slammer
and others are going to beat up next.

Eisboch

Well, carry on then. Do what you want, Richard. It sure is ironic
though that those who did the most whining are now doing the most
posting.
--------------------------------------

Some of us are far more concerned about what is happening to this country in
a time of crisis than reading a bunch of juvenile, chest pounding exchanges
of threats.

But, it's still a free country. * *Suit yourself. *I'll do the same.

Eisboch

No, you're just concerned about the new president and that everything
he does, before it even has a chance to work, gets negated. It seems
as if, when Harry was pushing political post after politcal post down
our collective throats that none of you on that side of the fence was
concerned about what was happening to this country.- Hide quoted text -

If you read carefully you will see that we were concerened with what
happened with our country. Several of us including me and Richard also
noted problems with Bush and his crew, we tried to be truthful when we
came to the table and were genuinly concerened with the country. The
problem with Harry's posts is they were dishonest and he only cares
about himself so he did **** a lot of people off. As bad as you think
Bush was, he let the dems have a say, and most of them voted with him
on most of his agenda as it was truly bipartisan, Obama's crew has
locked the door and refuses to let the repubs or the American people
be involved in the process, despite the vows of openness and co-
operation. That is scarey and should be of concern to anybody paying
attention..- Hide quoted text -

Okay, so to what end does the 100% negative posts here serve?

Loogy, I think your position is understandable. You are a Democrat,
you voted for BO, and you see the things he is doing now to dick up
the country. You see a bill with $2billion for ACORN, to buy votes, a
few million for Pelosi's mice, a lot of money to illegal aliens
because the 'E-Verify' provisions were taken out
http://tinyurl.com/cq3pes, the lie about the Caterpillar CEO, the
failure of so many ranking Democrats to pay taxes, and you are most
likely very friggin' embarrassed.

I don't blame you.

But, you have to admit that the political posting (except Harry's,
which is just name-calling) is a lot more 'adult' than the juvenile
'I'm going to beat you up with my karate hands' bull**** that several
of you persist in displaying.

Wouldn't you agree?- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

No. And how do you purport to know who I voted for?

I just purported, that's all. Based it on your continuous harping at
folks who say bad things about the guy's actions.

Anyway, purporting's fun. Purporting with porpoises is particularly
praiseworthy.

If you want a nice, not expensive, wine to share with Mrs. E...try:


http://www.rexgoliath.com/rexgoliath...=1007&cat_id=1


My wife discovered this at dinner during one of her business trips, and
bought a bottle for us upon her return. I'm about as far removed from a
wine expert as one can be, but I have to agree...the Rex Goliath merlot
is mighty fine wine. Nice label on the bottle, too.


I'll look for it. Mrs.E. rarely drinks but when she does, she likes
good wine.
Must be the Italian in her.

Me? I am just not that sophisticated to appreciate fine wines. I am a
beer guy, always was, always will be. Just can't do it like I used to
unfortunately.

Eisboch


I only drink beer on really hot summer days, and then not much of it. I do
prefer Mexican beers, though. Dunno why. I drink less wine than I do beer.
But I liked the Rex Goliath merlot. It's only about $7 a bottle at a wine
store.

My father in law loves a beer now and then, and he collects beer bottles
from the countries where he's enjoyed a national or local brew. Last time
I was at his house, he had about 100 empty beer bottles from different
countries.

My favorite alcoholic bev is a well-made margarita.


It's funny. I don't really enjoy a beer on hot summer days anymore. I'll
drink some to be social of course, but all they do is give me a headache.
When I was young, a few beers made me want to conquer the world. Now all
they do is make me want to take a nap.

I have to be in the mood for a few brews, and it usually includes being with
some good people and having a good time in spirited conversation, etc.

I had some bad experiences drinking margaritas back to my Navy days.
Lurkers still exist, so that's enough about that.

All it takes for me is a post about beer to want one.
But it does take company to enjoy more than one.

Well, a good beer palate is just as refined as a good wine palate. Out
in CA, Trader Joe's has this wine called Two Buck Chuck, and in blind
tastings, it done better than almost all high priced stuff. Second
place I believe. Beer has been brewed for a few thousand years, the
history is amazing, and I can by yeast strains that are several
hundred years old to brew with

Man, that's a big beer, meaning, it's high gravity, meaning it's HIGH
alcohol by volume!

I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or not! Just

Those that have tried it say it is a unique experience. *We'll see.
*The bottle I have is from the 2007 batch.
They are planning to have another release this year (2009).

Here's a pic Mrs.E. took today when she picked it up. *The guy on the left
is the local Sam Adams distributor's representative. *The guy on the right
is the owner of the little "ma and pa" shop store who she bought it from.
It was a big deal for him.

Thanks for the boating related post Vic.

There's actually a prop thread going on.
Here's where I go when I want to see some fishing action on the
internets.

This is the "Florida fishing" section, my favorite.
Lots of pics too.
Carolina Skiff owners do more fishing than any other 10 boat brands
combined. But that's just a guess.

There are a lot of them around. The flat bottom version must be great for
real skinny water.

My 22 foot cuddy has a dead flat bottom. There is no skinny water
where I boat, but it is fast for the power and stable at anchor.
There are no waves in Iowa to speak of, but, unfortunately, I want to
cruise the Great Lakes. The boat cost me two grand. Sat in my brother
in laws drive for years. Hard to add twenty degrees of deadrise after
the fact.
