For the detox water, you just let it steep overnight in the fridge.

As for the vodka bottle, I'd have to pour out about a third of it to allow for the displacement if I did insert the diced fruit, but likker bottlenecks are narrow and it would be too much of a chore. Doing it the pitcher way, I can leave the strawberry and/or other fruit slices relatively big and have the option of just pouring it straight from the pitcher even if I don't wanna bother with re-bottling, which I likely won't do.

Granted, you could do all this stuff with empty jars, but I like handiness of a good pitcher. It makes for good pours. Plus, you can keep refilling it and adding to the mix easy peasy until the infusion chamber is ready for dumping. Also, it's not expensive at all. It's about $20, a steal for its practicality. I'd drink through that amount at my dive bar without even thinking twice!

Ok gotcha. I make a cherry vodka. It is some sort or polish specialty my grandpa used to make (forget the name).For a 750ml bottle you swap two shots of vodka (drank of course) for two shots of the cherry syrup. Shake and pop in freezer. Shake twice a week and rotate bottle weekly.Ready to drink in 3 weeks and tastes like a cherry jolly rancher

Every time I come home from a business trip....The dogs going insane. My girl jumping in my arms asking what I brought her. My wife giving me the " I am going to fuck you" smile from across the room.

Slivovitz. We used to make flavoured liquors every summer. Fresh fruits, peaches, plums, raspberries, etc., and sugar in a jar of vodka.

I paid all the bills and came out slightly ahead this round.

Thanks. I'm not sure if that was what he called it but works for me. I have some sort of imported cherry syrup he used though. Ill look at the label when I get home.

I like my little walk home after work. I'm tempted to do a Julie Andrew's number and skip home some evenings. The sunsets are beautiful, the air is so fresh.

My heart wants to beat
Like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees

My heart wants to sigh
Like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze

Ha! See?

Come on, kbate. You know the song and you're always outdoors.

You know exactly what I'm talking about. That happy feeling.

barfing is feminine. Women deal with more barf in a lifetime than the average drunken man deals with in 5.

And that song was positively barftastic.

Two innocent fruit slice likers.

For the lost wanderer, who some people think, is into aviculture.
Hold on to the horse blanket and get rid of the nails, the stink lingers, action will ensue.

I forgot to ask you what you meant by fruit slice likers.

Wer'e getting the same storm.
6" last night and still coming down.

I will be putting another couple hundred miles yet...cripes, I'll be riding Easter weekend

I just skied to the post office. Love this small town stuff. We could have home delivery, but we both like going to the PO in true small town style. My local pharmacist knows me by name.

They're my babies but not babies any more- eldest is 9, younger is 6.
Seeing you around did make me smile, too- you've been missed

Thank you! I didn't realize my absence was even noticed.

I'm taking my cat to work tomorrow.

I thought I was hoovering up bits of Cadbury's Flake (which I had just eaten) but then heard that lots of folks have found droppings on their desks. I'm not very observant.

Take your cat to work day is a brilliant idea and sounds like an episode of Are You Being Served?

I recommend against hoovering mouse dung in the future.

What can I say, I'm really starting to love the outdoors. Wasn't really my thing whwhen I was younger. As for the poncho, I can't say where they got the idea, but I think it was more or a southern thing. A confederate overcoat was hard to come by. My Uncle gave me an old Gibson nylon string guitar. That was a good night of noodling with the radio. It was blues hour and I had some even williams and a rocky patel.

Good times

Sweet. I'm glad you're getting out in the world more. Feeds the spirit.

This thread made me smile; you make me smile. It's good to see you about again. :lips:

Good, and thank you! I still grin when I think about annual training. You made me a hero...

Happiness is an Ed Brown 1911.

I have yet to und4rstand the 1911 mystique. But good on ya!

Lately it seems that what were once only moments have turned into hours...days even of happiness and satisfaction with decisions and directions. I forgot what it was like to have my thoughts matter.


....I love feeling balanced, healthy and in harmony with myself and him.

I love that you feel that way. Those moments are priceless, and when they endure, it's blissful.

A girlfriend many moons ago, asked me if I thought I was any good on the guitar. I told her, when I can play a sunrise or a sunset, and you can feel it without seeing it, then I'll consider myself good. I still don't consider myself so, but a short instrumental that 2 or 3 of the ladies here inspired a few years ago still makes one of them cry. I'm not sure if that counts or not.

No, it wasn't naughty inspiration. They collectively helped me thru a really dark time. I haven't seen any of them here for a long, long time. One of them, though, I still talk to quite regularly in the real world.

Oh, I want to hear that track!

I have an infusion pitcher I bought from Bed Bath & Beyond that I use to make cucumber/lemon/mint water (example below.) Been doing it solidly for over a month and a half.

The other day, while doing follower-page surfing on Twitter, I came across someone who had the same pitcher in their pic gallery, but was doing this with it instead of my water games:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/AxpWZEqCIAE4m0n.jpg:large

Strawberry-infused vodka. It looked so damn tasty that I started up a convo with the person. She told me her sis-in-law got her hooked on it and that she steeps the berries in the vodka for at least two weeks to get that maximum color and flavor. That's a real long time to sit on a pitcher full of vodka, but I've been itching to try it out ever since I saw her pic. Gonna get me another pitcher, a big-ass jug o' Svedka from the likker stow, some fresh strawberries (and maybe some oranges to mix it up a bit) and do my own all-natcheral fruit-flavored booze operation.

Ironic that the cuke water is meant to detox and cleanse, while the berry vodka will be used to retox and bend.

Balance in all things...I've been meaning to try the cuke juice thing myself.

I built a 1 string guitar. It's a called a diddly bow. I suck at it.

I still want to hear you play it. I'm glad you're back around more these days, too.

It is 'Pick up the Year's Litter along the street' time. This year's 95% total (still probably two trips to go): 37 thirty gallon garbage bags full + 7 tires and one mailbox. This exceeds last year's collection of 29 thirty gallon garbage bags and 9 tires by enough to declare it a banner year for litter.

I'm hoping for another record next year! Go Litterers!

The kids earned $9.30 on Aluminium cans picked up along the road.

The road we clean is just under two miles in length.

I would break the collection down as follows:
Beer: 65%
Bottled Water: 10%
Soft Drinks: 10%
Energy Drinks: 8%
Cigarette waste: 3%
Fast Food: 3%
Hard Liquors: 1%

Bud light (can) and Miller High Life (bottles) by far lead the roadside waste category.

For years I wanted to write to Annheuser Busch and Marlboro and tell them that red whit and blue litter was far and away the most prevalent.

If I ever catch one of the litterer's and can find their house, they will get a nice return on their deposit.

...and this is one of my favorite vigilante fantasies.

Hi, Perg! This thread drew a lot of folks I enjoy reading. And now I want flavored vodka.
