Hard Cider is fantastic.  Pick up a six pack of Angry Orchard Traditional, if you get a chance.  Hard Cider is what Mike's Hard Lemonade spends millions of dollars pretending to be like.  Good hard cider, is already manly, and is more delicious than finer wines, imo, and you don't need to be a snob to enjoy it.  

Don't mix cider with beer, though, in any drinking session.  Through some strange chemistry, the combination gives you an Old English 40 type of drunk.  The mixture, called a "snake bite," in England, is actually banned in many English Pubs because of the bad judgement it is thought to induce.  Anyone who has had a bad night on malt liquor knows what i'm'a talkin' about.

Thanks.  Now I'm going to HAVE to try this.

Where in Holland are you? - beautiful country out that way.

Is that restaurant at the intersection of 16 and N. Protection still there?

The Windmill.  Yes it's still there.  My mother used to work there in the late 60's.  

I live in the village of Holland, but have a farm up on Vermont Hill.

It's beautiful, in the hills.  Some of the views are breathtaking, as they say, but can be lonely when you're used to living in Buffalo.  I lived on the West Side on Fargo and Jersey.  I have fond memories of walking down to the breakwall with friends to watch the waves on windy nights.

Man, I miss the lake,.. and those hills (see avatar).


While putting on my seven year old's diaper on to get ready for bed (yes, you read that right), unprompted, she grabbed her toothbrush off of the counter and brushed her teeth by herself, both sides, top and bottom.  I almost sh!t myself.  F'N fantastic.  Having a martini to celebrate.

Small world.  I used to hunt on property on Vermont Hill road.  Gorgeous area.

I see your 20a hills from my hills.  It's like we just missed out on being finger lakes.  Enjoy your martini.  Sounds like you've earned it.

Some sort of Buffalo Hunting Club?  If so, very small world.

My dad worked with a guy who's father owned a dairy farm on Vermont Hill Rd.  We hunted with several of dad's co-workers on that land until the landowner passed away.

first off, to shrader, that's frickin' awesome man. hope he can recover speedily and get back to full health as soon as possible!

second, today is the day. it's going to be 70, and i'm leaving at 1:30. i'm going home, hopping on my bike (pedal bike ... not motorcycle. i know there are lot of fans on here, so to allay any confusion ...) and i'm going on a couple hour ride. music, headphones, and bike path that stretches for 16 miles one way. should be interesting ... i haven't ridden more than a couple of miles in years, so i might have to work up to a lengthy ride, but whatever. gotta start somewhere!

OOH! and it gets even better. there are a TON of geocaches along the bike path. F'N Fantastic!

Hopefully that means they didn't find any surprises... glad to hear the surgery was successful and wishing her dad a full recovery.

Gotta cut the grass tonight.  In the summer that might be a complaint, but I always look forward to the first time in the spring when I can break out the mower.  I don't think I've ever had to do it this early in the year!

From the brief details I got, it sounded like they took out less than they were planning on.  That should be a plus, right?

Shrader: Good to hear that things seem to have gone well!

Tonight is my buddy's 21st birthday...We're going to 'Gregors in Henrietta to destroy his liver.  I'm taking him and my sister to the Sabres game tomorrow night then.  That'll be F'N Fantastic

Also, I am borrowing my dad's pickup truck to forcefully remove my buddy's now ex-fiance's crap out of his apartment that she has been telling him she'd remove for two months now.  We're loading up the bags she had already packed, and her couch and dresser, and driving the stuff to her parents, and just dropping it off.  He's also finally getting her to go with him to the bank to split the financials...it's about F'N time IMO!  I think he'll be much happier!

Now if only I could see my girlfriend this weekend, it would be great!

The server where I do all of my work just went down, so it looks like my weekend is about to start early.  Yeah, it's not going to be a great one for obvious reasons, but I'll take it.

I was joking with him about it. He's successfully started and finished one career and started another one before I've even started my own.

I'm just happy for him. Makes me proud to be his son.

Sorry and happy for you at the same time.   Being at peace with yourself  and your situation is probably the most important thing you can do.

1:45 Hops Club at work.  F'N fantastic.

I should probably go to the beer thread.

[MattPie]

Got a bunch of motorcycle work done the last two nights, all I have left is the brake calipers and carbs and I have a second running bike to play with. F'N Awesome.

I'm playing drumset in the pit for our highschool drama's production of The Sound of Music.  The singers are F'n fantastic and it's a pleasure to play for them.

[dEnnis the Menace]

Just about done with my required work for today/this week.  Aside from a quick design/manufacturing readiness review meeting a little after lunch, I'm all set to leave work F'N Fantastic.  On top of that, I'm going to see Larry the Cable Guy tonight.  Should be fun (altho, I need my mom's boyfriend to set up the game to tape! Yay DVR).

There was free wine and Beer and a good selection of both so my buddy and I got really drunk and I told his bitch sister off which was really funny.  Then we convinced my buddys girlfriend to drive us into town to get cam's while we bashed his sister.  I think at 1 point we craftily got there dog from my parents house down in the valley into the mansion and my buddys room... either way the best part of the night was sitting with the bride and singing red solo cup to her along with the band...  the moral of the story is Red Cat and Fulkerson Red Zepplin make everything better.

I'm not allergic to alcohol.  F'n Fantastic!

It's payday (finally)!  We only get paid once a month and on the last working day, so it always feels like forever inbetween paychecks.  Hooray for having money in the bank again, even if only temporarily!

I think you and Swamp need to hook up. Piano players are a dime a dozen, but the 3 hardest instruments to swing on are 1) drums 2) trombone 3) bass

Anyone play trombone? We could get a SS skype band going.

It's been awhile since I've played trombone, but it's down in the basement. There's a bass rig down there too.
