Your “Going Out For Cigarettes” Sunday Evening Open Thread

Beerguyrob - July 25, 2021July 25, 2021

Today begins my countdown to the end of my full-time status here at [DFO]. General stupidity plus changes at work mean I cannot be counted on to do the minimum I was responsible for going forward. The union gig was always going to take up a significant amount of time, but

It's been a week and a half. The home renos are taking the usual forever, as I anticipated. The guys tearing up the floor nicked the radiant heat coils, so now they have to cap the copper tubing & pour new cement for the pad. So they can't tile the bathroom

I'll be honest. I've got nothing for this week. I thought I had something and then the week went by in a flash and now it's 4 PM Pacific on Sexy Friday and I'm typing out my thoughts on the keyboard ahead of post time at 5 PM Pacific. Beerguyrob had a

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Summon the Heroes

Sharkbait - July 23, 2021July 23, 2021

Hello and happy Olympics Friday. The opening ceremony is tonight and I will absolutely be watching. As I mentioned the other night, I am an Olympics junkie. I love watching them and will watch as many of the events as I can. Specifically, I'm looking forward to rugby 7s, which

You know what 2020 was good for? Almost nothing. But a) it made (some of) us grateful for time with friends and family and b) it taught many of us that even when we can't go anywhere and are suddenly gifted extra time, we still don't do anything with that.

So, yesterday was Record Store Day, and I picked myself up a little vinyl treat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4DeaXf1FzE That's right - the Foo Fighters released a special album for the day - called "Hail Satin". It's five Gibb songs sung as disco covers & five live versions of songs from their "Medicine at Midnight" album.

The worst part about the offseason is trying to come up with things to talk about. Even though there is still some NBA playoffs to come - given its TV-friendly scheduling, it might be on until August - we are in a holding pattern until training camps start at the

So Thursday rolls around and I'm late arriving to the Evening Open Thread and I read Rob's intro and I see that he says I've got you tomorrow and you know what happens next. Shit! I forgot to update the post! As far the songs, we're all good because I was

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Bartender’s Friend

Sharkbait - July 16, 2021July 15, 2021

Hello and happy weekend everyone! In my cocktail project, I've featured a handful of drinks I've come up with on my own, and it is still very much a goal of mine to explore mixing my own drinks, as well as continue to pick and choose recipes from my library

Today was for drinking, and it was a good day for it. WineWife & I first went to a cidery that she enjoys, followed by a trip to a local distillery out in the farms of the Fraser Valley. I got to be the hero, because she doesn't like to drive

Anyone who owns a home has been through this. The home renovations started on Monday. A week late, we were finally happy that the trusted contractor we arranged was finally able to get his crew in to begin the demolition. The plan is to redo the bathroom, and since there's already

Le vendredi érotique, édition avant de 14 juillet

ballsofsteelandfury - July 9, 2021July 8, 2021

I was goofing around last weekend by commenting in French and I said that one day I'd write a post completely in French. Then I looked at the calendar and realized the perfect opportunity was coming up as the day that Americans call Bastille Day was next week! So, this
