JLMoran Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 This was the stock-up that I bought last week. Supplemented 4 more bottles of Zin back at home, plus an “in case of emergency” bottle of Rumple Minz peppermint schnapps that I can mix with hot cocoa to make Peppermint Patties. Still going strong. Beers I bought were: Tröegs “Tröegenator” doppel bock Weyerbacher “Merry Monks” tripel abbey ale (full case of that goodness!) Weyerbacher “Tiny” imperial stout (just a 4-pack, getting out of stout season) shaydav19, Chadster, Ogilthorpe and 5 others 2 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the border opens back up, you'll have to make a seltzer run. Doesn't have the same cachet as a beer run, but...

At least we can make the best of it and eventually will all be on those beaches. Cheers. Currently sitting at my kitchen table "working from home", as my 8 year old paints and my 4 year throws legos across the room. Its 56 and rainy/cloudy outside. My cruise, in 10 days, has been canceled. My Carolina Panthers are releasing the best QB they ever had, today. NONE of this is anything like being sick, or losing a loved one....so I do have some perspective.....but DAMN! All that said..... this is currently playing on my TV...... after work ill put on some swimming trunks, make myself another Mai Tai, and turn the heat up to 85. ellcee, melmar02, PRebecca and 5 others 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLMoran Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 41 minutes ago, JimnKathy said: That stone tile floor is amazing. And in the northeast it’s a necessity in a finished basement. I learned the hard way after partially finishing our basement years ago and getting hit with a hurricane not a month later. Mild flooding ruined the wall-to-wall carpet we had installed. After everything was all dried out, we did like @dodgestang and put in ceramic (not stone) tile, with an area rug over it. And a good thing, because we got ANOTHER HURRICANE not two weeks after that was done! Rolled up the rug and got it out of the way along with elevating the furniture. We got a bit of flooding again, just had to wet vac and mop, wait for the blowers to dry the floor trim, and back in business.
