    Something I have not done for years

    Had a late one yesterday and had a recovery day today as that Jack Daniels just kept filling up the glass I got absolutely plastered. 40% by vol drank a litre bottle of it by myself!
    Then like a mug I thought better have some grappa as I had some with me on top of that what was I thinking, that lot really put the undercarriage away flaming heck guys
    Missed out on a bike ride today which peeved me heaps, I reckon if pulled over the copper would've gotten drunk on my fumes!
    Anyway doing some late night computer work and the King of the house has decided to sleep in a very different position on my lap.

    They say cats are influenced by their owners aura's then ours has got the whole mix-master going on in his noggin.
    Would not trade this little fella for anything such is the love, fun and antics he brings into our lives.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I haven't done that since...1997...but I remember the hangovers vividly. They get worse as you get older.

    Classic animal behavior. The cat as well. Miss mine.

    No virgins here. That’s why I know that firing up the Whiskey with Grappa is not a good idea

    As bad as playing catch up when you come late to the bar and the guys are already downrange...and you need to get there fast. That usually ends in disaster.

    Siamese are a critter unto themselves. Unlike any other cat with the possible exception of the Burmese. Have had both. Loud, talkative cats. Hunter killers. Great family cats.
    Good choice in drink, too.

    Have read that potassium supplements are a good hangover preventative taken a day or so before.

    Or there's the classic for officials attending Russianicon banquets: a slug of olive oil taken straight. Don't try it if your gall bladder isn't clear as a whistle though!
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
