Saturday Night Drinking Thread
First post...figured I would make it one about drinking... I just had a Bell's Quinannan Falls Ale, followed by a Blackrock's Grand Rabbits while doing some "work" in the garden. Now switching to a little whiskey and coke. What's everyone else drinking tonight?
out of my head. that End Of Watch call a the service today will be with me for the rest of my life.
in law enforcement, all 'cop' funerals pull at your heart more. there is a bond with those that have served, the intensity of which is directly proportionate to what you did while it was your time on duty, that is hard to explain. every cell in your body feels it.
that EOW call was not something i'd ever seen done live before. i mentioned in the other thread it was piped live through the church sound system. the elected sheriff who is also a friend called dispatch and had them put out a call on all the emergency channels for my buddy's call sign. an "All units, please stand down. This is a call for [friend's call sign]." dispatch waited about 30 seconds between each of the three times it made that call for my friend. then after the third call dispatch broadcast, "May it be noted that on July 8th at 1338 hrs, Lieutenant ____ has joined his Lord and Savior". I freaking lost it as did every cop in the church.
i won't ever forget that call. heck, i'm getting misty just typing this. God bless Clint's family.
Love and Peace XM and to your friend Clint and his family on their loss!
Sorry for your loss.
Oberon kind of night.

Sounds like paradise
Drinking a couple Admiral Nelson's and coke after a long day at work. Had 6/30-7/4 off of work so I had a loooooong weekend of drinking on the lake that started with a family golf outing that features about 400 jello shots for around 36 golfers. Always a shame how fast July 4th goes by.
Hotel Putingrad where you at?
Drinking some Balcones Single Malt Whisky neat.
still drinking whiskey...finally watching season 5 of House of Cards.. killing time before Game of Thrones
Glad you like Tank 7...it's not for everyone, but I love it, too. Lucky's in A2 has Saison Brett right now, which is really good but too sour for me to have an entire 750ml
I finally found a place that sells Bell's Kalamazoo Stout and I am enjoying that at the moment - finding a good craft beer selection in the western reaches of the downriver portion of Wayne County is not as easy as you might think, after all.
The Meijer in Belleville finally began carrying various varieties of Alaskan too - the Freeride APA is pretty damn good, as is their Winter Ale.
