I had a day off and couldn't do anything more creative than drink

... and play loud rock music.

Oh well, not a bad day off.

My wife had taken our daughter for the day shopping and I had the run of the place. So I ran out for a bottle of rum and case of cokes.


How's your Thursday been?

so I finished off a bottle of Bacardi 8. It's not bad and they sell it at the grocery store for $20. I ran out and got another bottle of it today. It's pretty decent for a daily drinker/mixer.

What's your fav?

Anybody flying to Puerto Rico from Jacksonville? I'll pay you to bring me back a case of Ron del Barrilito.

He takes the regular Bacardi that is made on the island, adds something and ages it for a bit and turns around and sells it for 12$-15 a bottle on the island. I haven't seen it on the mainland. I used to have a connection that went back to San Juan ever year or so, but that is gone now and I havent been there in 3 years.

The stuff is so sweet it's like candy or a liqueur.

I found the Don Q to be horrid. There's a lot to sample down there.

Nearly 3 hours. I probably could use some rum. I'm still decompressing and still feeling disoriented.

Were the cokes to appease your wife when she got home and found out you drank all the rum?

I escorted a wide load out that way yesterday.

The streams looked as if the ice age took over this winter. Dead trees everywhere.
Oh, and Hunter Mountain still has unmelted snow on the trails.

Well, I live in the Keys, and that would be our definition... IF it includes a few minutes of outdoor activity, which you did via the rum run.
