Yes, I’m ready for the Margarita’s and the Rum Runners. All I need is a Hawaiian shirt. I feel like I’m in the tropics today. It’s so freaking hot out. I don’t plan on leaving the house today. I turned on the big air conditioner in the living room about 9:30 in the morning. So far I’ve been comfortable. But it will warm up in the apartment. Hoping it cools down before the weekend. I’m going down to visit with my sister on Saturday after Kiwanis. Get to see how big Tucker is getting. I’ve been keeping track of him and his antics on Dogster.com. Sue has an online diary of the mutt’s escapades and growing pains. If it’s to hot, I’ll just go down for the day and come back at night. I’d rather stay till Monday, I need a little vacation from the ho hum world of Frankfort, NY
I didn’t win the lotto jackpot last night, not that I had a chance any way. Yesterday was the first time in a long while that I bought a ticket. Got the usual, two numbers and nothing more, Oh well. I do better on scratch offs. I haven’t bought any of those either. I have to wait until next week to see about my Medicaid and other aid I might be eligible for. Guess it’s time for another cool drink…. Not too much in the alcoholic department. I don’t have any Gin, Rum or Tequila in the house, so I guess there’s no tropical drinks, just Bourbon Scotch and Cognac. Not that I’m going to open my bottle of Johnny Walker Blue. I’m saving that for a real, I mean real special occasion.
I’m not really a scotch drinker, but Johnny Blue is different. I’ve had Johnny Gold, and that’s not to bad. I can actually drink it. I can drink expensive scotch, not the regular $30.00 bottle, only the best stuff in scotch for me. I can’t get into the taste of the cheaper stuff; it tastes just like Iodine mixed in water. Yuck! The better price stuff is a lot smother and has more flavor to me.
So, I don’t drink scotch to often. Like once in several blue moons….. But give me Bourbon or Tennessee Whiskey, and I’m in heaven……
Me and those Southern boys, get along very well. You know, my friend’s, Jack and Jim, and The Old Grand Dad himself. I also have lots of other Southern friends that might not be so well known. Like the makers of fine bourbon’s, Makers Mark, Blanton’s, Woodfords Reserve, and the entire premium Jim Beam brands. I guess I like the American made products better. Not that the other whiskeys from around the world are an inferior product. Oh well. I’m getting thirsty talking about it. Time to go……..
