Yup I love dinner with her family as her dad squeals at her stories
from work and always tries to enforce a no work story rule.

Chef try anti-inflammatories like Motrin and I like to alternate heat and ice. It's surprising how easily we can injure out back and backs. I've had the same type of injury myself but mine wasn't relegated to my neck I could feel it when I rotated my shoulders as well.

Why not... It's the one I want! She started with the bastard and actually liked it. Only three left in the cellar and now I have competition for them.

I try to have that rule but my wife refuses to follow it. One thing for sure is that I have seen enough suffering for a couple lifetimes so I removed myself emotionally a long time ago. You can't survive long if you dont.

Water. No fun.

She knows all the hiding places Patrick you better just send it to me for safekeeping

Sorry for your loss.

All 4 of my grandparents were gone before I was 5. I'm sure I missed a lot of wisdom and fun due to that.

I like the idea of being a nurse or doctor, just can't deal with all the yucky stuff.

Nightcap?

I love it when you find a hidden bottle of a long lost brew. Black saison from the second runnings of an imperial stout. Year old at least. Hella tasty!

Yup. SWMBO works in the ICU so she deals with the bad stuff regularly. I, however, don't detach myself from work as easily. ****.
Last pour before bed.

Have you watched any of the HBO special they do a pretty good job exploring the history of music in the different cities they recorded in.

No but I need to. We almost bought tickets for their show in Denver, but I've seen them twice and we are going to see The Book of Mormon two weeks after the concert would have been so we passed. Freakin best band around in my opinion.

Is that a fire/ems patch I see?

Click to expand...

Yep, they make good coasters. We got new uniforms awhile back and did away with patches. I promoted off the medic unit about three weeks ago after 10+ yrs on it. I've noticed my drinking consumption has gone down considerably now that I drive a pumper

Damn, what a week. Not awesome so far. Sometimes being a firefighter/ paramedic really sucks. Especially close to the holidays. Ill leave it at that.

Tonight??
2x Sierra Nevada Celebration
2x Lagunitas Maximus
1x Woodford Reserve 2oz pour
1x Hudson Whiskey Baby Bourbon 2 oz pour

Im doing good after my 48 hour shift. Hope all you fellas are good.

on the cawfeh.

Yea, saw that. Does sound pretty backward, especially considering the progress they've made otherwise recently in terms of changing TABC policies.

That law was forced to be passed. If that one didnt none of the others would have been. Retarded lawers with distributors in their pockets

Double spice chai. Black.

Agreed on wasting light. Overall though, I love everything they do.

Water and soon coffee.

South African Rugby Memorabilia ?

Nice!

had the pleasure of watching a few matches down there in '12. Crazy ones they are

Click to expand...

Yeah, I played rugby in college. Had a blast though I wasnt all that good at it. That is the problem of being a tall skinny guy, I run high and the short stout guys made me fly. At least I can take a hit.

Parents brought it back from a trip there. I was a fan of the Bocks and All Blacks. What a game.

To save the throat, I swear by a room humidifier in the bedrooms. I started getting the sore throats in the mornings and remembered to bring mine out of storage to use and immediately I am feeling better.

Coffee. Kinda weak, having a morning. Woke up in the middle of the night and couldnt fall back asleep for almost 2 hours. Got to work, turned on the electric teakettle to make my coffee with, came back 10 minutes later and half filled the french press. Then realized that some jerk had unplugged the thing yesterday so I was attempting a cold brew of sorts. It is going to be a day for sure.

Coffee. A bit hungover.

Water. So going from shift schedule to a 40hr work week this week to ride a desk for retraining is really starting to get old. Sitting in traffic going to work sitting in traffic coming home, walking the dog then starting dinner, shower fall asleep watching the news then repeat. I don't know how people do this week after week and still find time to drink beer or run errands. Friday can't get here fast enough.

Feeling better this morning, I have plenty of time at work so I took another day, when to do some laundry and there where two new to me kegs soaking in the slop sink the washer drains into so I'm overhauling them, another two to do also.

Giving roasting my own coffee a try, having my first cup, I like!

i was talking to a paramdic once and he told me some person was so heavy they couldnt wait them at the hospital. So they drove to the nearest truck weight station and weight the truck with and without the person to get their weight. Lol






Sorry man. Never easy. Lost both of mine within a year.

I lost all of my grandparents and immediately felt so sad. They're the ones who teach us everything, even if it's just how to shop on QVC.

Water.

2x IPA with lunch. I'm going to murder this sandwich.

Killed two mugs of coffee, downloaded some preventative anti-virus & working on one of three books while talking on here. Multitasking works sometimes...

In-n-Out fries are horrible. Worst I have ever had. Taste like they were freezer burn but they claim they are never frozen
