Evening Gentlemen, had a good weekend. Up Saturday bright and early, headed to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and back to the house for some inside work. Today, errands and a trip to Lowes for some plants and pine bark for the back yard. The plants will not be allowed to roam free and will be in a pot. With my black thumb they probably will die within a month anyway. Had one PITA call but just kicked my feet up after that. Seems the humidity broke a little bit so overall a good day.
The only downside to Labor Day is that our oldest starts Kindergarten. How the heck did this happen?
You think it is an express train now, wait a few years. It seems like yesterday mine was meeting Minnie for the first time and now she is wrangling sharks.
Yes, but it's a wet heat.
I like that. And it continues to be a wet heat.
Just wait until they're graduating...it's like wha.???
Yep.
Sorry boys. That's it. I'm calling it. Work week over. Last one in Mizners lounge has to pay my dinner check. Have a great weekend.
About time. Totally shirking your duties now that you are in the World.
Speaking of expense, I looked at Grand Floridean main building club level, thinking of DW and my 20th anniversary in a couple years. Currently, that is $1000 a night. Then, there's the flight down Fri and come back Monday. Then there's the meal at Victoria & Albert's. That's $5000 for a weekend. I thought about adding a day at Epcot for eating a drinking around the world. But if I'm staying club level, i want to try and eat and drink my $5000 worth.
OUCH! Did a weekend at the Grand Flo about a billion years ago and it was about $1,000. No V&A but spa visits, tickets, and vouchers for other stuff. They called it the Grand Plan.
You know. We are allowed to go drinking without Dan calling it.
Now you remind us.
I tried making a "Lost on Safari " from Dawa Bar tonight. Considering I had to cobble together my own version of Pangani punch it turned out pretty well.
Sounds good. Never had a "Lost..." have to look it up.
The service was impeccable
We joked they had cameras focused on each table and the guy controlling the Eye in the Sky would give directions to the wait staff. "Albert, it looks like he is going for a roll, get ready. HE PICKED IT UP! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, NOW!" Almost before I put it on my plate, he would unobtrusively step in and replace it. Not a coffee drinker but the coffee brewing thing was cool.
It's available at most liquor stores. I've not seen it on Disney property, but I've not looked that closely. It is called Basil Hayden.
Good stuff. Someone gave me a Booker's small batch and I also enjoyed that. The father of a very good friend of mine was a lawyer and filed the incorporation papers for Maker's Mark. They offered him a flat fee or a small percentage of the distillery. He took the flat fee. Oops.
