Simply random stuff

[mandrix]

Reminds me of that quote by George Best (a famous Manchester United footy player):

"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."

Yes. I had a friend, now passed on, that I stole the line from. He always said; when I got my last paycheck, I bought liquor, beer, and cigarettes. The rest I pissed away on groceries and rent. lol.

Place orange slices in a container of choice, preferably large, about half way filling the container.
Freeze water in containers, defrost slightly and dump contents into a stainless steel bowl.
Then split it up into 4 - 5 pieces with your least favorite knife, so each piece is a respectable size and place one on top the orange slices.
Measure out your Vodka. In the same measuring container, add both a gingerly dollop of Dirty martini olive juice, and some carbonated water so as to "pre mix" the Vodka and water. (I use a 3 oz pyrex measuring glass)
Pour into the drinking container.
Fill any void with more carbonated water.
I find the premix + the carbonation does a respectable job of mixing the ingredients. If it doesn't I don't care. (Hic!)

I have two of those water carbonating devices. My recipe is chill the water in the carbonating bottle very well; then add a teaspoon of baking soda. Then carbonate!
The colder the water, (not frozen) apparently adds more ability to assume carbonation. Also rock slightly after carbonation and while the carbonating bottle is still in the device. (all tested unscientifically of course).

Oh and I use an aluminum cup for drinking my alcoholic beverage. that's it. Enjoy! lol.

OK off to semi rebuild my string trimmer: new carb, fuel lines and gas tank grommets for fuel line pass through. wish me luck!

All of a sudden, everybody wants you at their next tailgate party!

Want random? They are really pushing for no alcohol. Considered a poison in any amount.

I spend all my money on important stuff like music and liquor. Then I buy a few groceries. J/K! Well almost, I guess the music part is certainly true.

W.C. Fields famously said “I’ve made a lot of money in my life. I spent about half on liquor and women. The rest, I wasted.”

Canada health recommends no alcohol.

@mandrix is in Florida but it’s a pretty safe bet that you won’t see him tailgating at any Florida Panthers hockey games!
