rplace Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 It took forever but seems like spring is in full bloom and summer not far behind. Stopped off at the local booze-o-rama yesterday and picked up the first bottle of Pimm's for the season. So many variants of the No 1 cup. I'm a fan of Pimm's, Gin, muddled cucumber/mint and Sanpellegrino Limonatha with bitters. If I'm not wanting to make a mess and keep it easy Pimms/Limonatha/bitters. Not as big a fan with Ginger ale, but still good. Any fans of Pimm's here? Amazing how mixed properly it is a great cocktail, strait up it is like cough medicine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Looks like some tasty drinks there rplace. Good presentation and photography too. 19 old geezers for breakfast this morning. Mostly school chums. First 90 degree day so far. Checked the bubble out of LF's garage. Have a great weekend and for you heading to Hope be safe! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry can't claim credit for that great photog, I lifted it from the Interwebs. Does make me thirsty, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a little early for Texas to be this warm? Do you folks have a spring? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several cold fronts uncharacteristically came through. When it's over, it's over though. Heat and high humidity are the order of the day. On the bright side, hurricane season starts in 3 weeks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I used to work at a campground. There was the customary No Shirt No Shoes No Service sign. It was all self-serve anyway. And when the dancers moved to the park... Fishnet tops with 2in net. Why bother? They were wearing more when they strolled to the shower with nothing but a towel draped over their shoulder. I think I mentioned I used to hang with bikers and dated a house mother at a "gentlemen's club". I'm left handed, too. Poster child for ADHD. That PSA they were running, fit me to a "T". I grew out of it, sorta 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
