Chat Thread: Ready for the reign/rain to end

Where are you going mako, and why 55 yo women?

Eastern Caribbean. It's a Princess boat, which means it's generally a much older crowd. Plus, I have a thing for ladies in their mid 50's.

It was a dumb workout at a pretty low weight, so I have no idea what happened. I think I didn't warm up enough.

Run 100m, 1DL @ 205
Run 100m, 2DL @ 205
Run 100m, 3DL @ 205
Continue this until 15 minutes, increasing the DL by 1 rep each time.

I got to the round with 9 DL and my back quit on the 5th DL. Some solid shooting pain down my legs and instant regret.

I see billboards for this in South Carolina

I've had this. Did a moonshine "taste-off" of NC, VA, TN, SC moonshines. I forget where this ended up.

 

[deacfan78]

Man, good locally made white liquor is a treat.

Agree! I was not previously a fan of moonshine but after getting into bourbon and learning how to appreciate whiskey, I went back to moonshine and found out there is some really great white liquor out there.

Corporate moonshine seems like an oxymoron

Art Smith’s restaurant at Disney Springs has a whoe moonshine cocktails menu. Doesn’t get more corporate than that.

My dad’s told me that when he was a kid he and his brother were roaming the woods somewhere in the vicinity of Wilkesboro and came across a still and realized they needed to GTFO

I have a feeling that coach Mako has woken up a time or two to a bottle of shine on the front steps as a thank you for a kind gesture.

Df78 in seeing your blog, you seem to have put yourself through drinking lot of nasty craft liquor for some reason. I hope you still have your eyesight.

I knew it! Guess this is how @mako1331 has been affording all those trips

Sinkhole uncovers possible moonshine cave below North Wilkesboro Speedway

As seats were removed for further inspection, an open area believed to be a former moonshine cave was found under the grandstand.

dreading an upcoming vacation because of all the work you’re leaving behind (and which will be one week later when you return) is the worst. So basically trying to delegate as much as possible to folks I know are really not equipped to do it well.

My uncle mort
He was sawed off and short
Measured about 5 foot
But he’ll fight like a giant
If you give him a pint
Of that good ol Mountain Dew

Until recently I didn’t have any qualified people below me and vacations weren’t really vacations because there wasn’t anybody for me to push work down to.

those that refuse it are few

We used to sing this song at camp and I thought it was about literally drinking the dew on the plants.

Yes, quite a few duds out there, but there have been a few surprisingly good craft whiskies also. It has been a fun experience.
