My brother is way into bourbon - for his "retirement".  He is buying a lot of it.  He watches some bourbon youtube channels.  The other day he commented on a post there - and he won a chance to win a bottle.  He answered 5 questions correctly, and won a bottle of Macallan 30 - scotch which is worth $4000 - $6000 dollars a bottle.  I will be going to his house this summer for golf and bourbon - and maybe a taste of really expensive stuff.

I've been thinking about traveling to Chicagoland this summer too....  

Oh well, he just found out it was a scam, it wasn't the guys from the youtube channel - luckily he checked and found out it wasn't the guys from the channel and he didn't lose any money ... 

Well, I'll just have to settle on those several cases of BCS you couldn't get shipped to me!

Only drinking whiskey (for the most part) until I get my blood sugar checked again ... so there is plenty here ... 

Going to see Buddy Guy tonight fairly close to home with TopDroog ... then going to a Blackhawks game Tuesday with my youngest son and his girlfriend ... she wanted to see them before they trade Kane/Toews ...

Say Hi to Randy for me ... miss you guys

Buddy was great.  Had his son and Ronnie Baker Brooks come out for the last couple of songs.  Still a lot of energy for being 86 years old ... New keyboard player replacing the late Marty Sammon was a young guy and very good ... the backup was drummer/producer Tom Hambridge along with the new keyboard player.  They were good - played about half an hour, then a half hour break, and then Buddy played for 1.5 hours.

Laziness abounds!   Going to the Blackhawks game tonight with my youngest son and his girlfriend ... 

Oh, and I am now down 16 pounds ...  but I may have to have a Paczki sometime soon ... tradition, you know 

@sang Nice of you to support semi-pro hockey.  

Nasty cold and a bit of snow headed our way starting later tonight back to 50 by the weekend.  

Wott a great game!  We had seats 17 rows from the ice right at the goal line on the side.  Hawks gave up a quick goal, then tied it.  Gave up another goal, down 2-1.  With 2 minutes left in the game, a Las Vegas player lofted it out of the rink, 2 minute penalty.  Hawks pull the goalie and score the tying goal.  Into overtime.  Hawks have the puck, Kane gets a breakaway, and makes the shot! (If he gets traded, this would be his last home game as a Hawk).  Unfortunately, they rule time had expired (although replays showed .01 on the clock).  Would have been a perfect ending to his Chicago career.  They go into a shootout, and Vegas missed all 3.  Hawks missed the first 2 (including Kane), but Tyler Johnson, who had tied the game at 2 made the shot.  Hawks Win!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood 'ol World Thinking Day!

I "think" that "thought" process forgot about this place.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood 'ol World Thinking Day!

I "think" that "thought" process forgot about this place.

Let me think about this for a while.....  

Thirty below wind chill arrived, downgrading wott snow we should end up with. Good night for using the fireplace and stay indoors.

80 here, and I've just got through cutting the grass.

Well, it's not 80 here, but I will  take the winter we have had this year .... 

Who let the renegade in? And tell him to trim the hedges!

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood 'ol International Coriander Day!

And actually I do. It's that green crap some restaurants put on your food as garnish. I guess you can eat it.

Woke up to a sneaky surprise snow overnight. 20% in the forecast. Easily got 2-4" light powdery stuff, a skier's dream. Wasn't planning on clearing my sidewalk and driveway today.  

Mid 40's tomorrow, mid 50's Sunday.  

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooood 'ol Chicago Golf Show Weekend!

Who needs to take a long nap?

THE MOST?

Apparently the golf show put Sang to sleep. 😉 

Climbing to 60 today, two days ago the wind chill was -25.  

Couple of my buddies were going to play golf today - still a little too cool out for me .... but it's coming soon.

The golf show in the south burbs was kind of a bust.  The one is Rosemont is bigger, and Paige Spiranac is going to be there ... not really convenient enough for me to go ... 

Goooooooooooooooooooooooood 'ol No Brainer Day!

I wonder if that is directed to this thread? Hmm...

My brother is stopping by today - he's in the area taking out customers.   Thunderstorms all night - we've had a lot of rain ...

Does his wife know he is dating? 😊 

Tell Dave I said hello. I miss those times we would go to Harry Carey's before shows.

I see that Lefty is coming to Chicago for a No Mercy Band reunion gig on April 22nd ... hope you guys get to go see him ... must dig out one of his CDs tomorrow and give it a spin ... really enjoyed seeing him at a post Beacon show gig at BB Kings in NYC ... I think that might have been that memorable night in 2006 when Sang and I then went on to Yogi's afterwards until they threw us out to shut down at about 4am

Wott a night that was ...  

Goooooooooooooooooooooood 'ol International Public Sleeping Day!
