11 Earthquakes Rock North Texas In 27 Hours

Should make it easier to mix the martinis.

But those thin martini glasses are rather fragile, might be an issue there.

Drink 'em straight from the shaker.  Colder that way.

I make mine in the shade of the vermouth bottle. or rinse the glass with vermouth, then use Bombay Sapphire.

My favorite is Tanqueray Ten with Noilly Prat Vermouth (Bret's suggestion) and olives

I had a chemical reaction to Gin causing me to fall out of a moving car window about 30 years ago and can't even stand the smell of it much less dare taste it agian.

Tanqueray and tonic has been my staple drink for as long as I can remember, probably since I was 20. People don't usually dabble with gin, it seems it's either loved or hated

I'm on the love side of that.  Tequila on the other hand, was that way for me until recently when I started to drink decent stuff.  TGO's fault.

What gin do you drink Tony?

When in an open bar situation, I go with the Tanqueray.  I think it's what I have at home too but I've never actually made one for myself.  OK, I really have to run now.

Hope we don't need any incompetent  IT Idiots the next two days they both said too cold tomorrow and Friday they will not be here.    No chit I just heard it first hand.

Good lord, they're either related to the owner or has a picture of the boss with a goat. How else does one stay employed with that attitude.

They don't come to work if it is raining or below freezing, I am not kidding either.  Go frikken figger.   

Yeah, I remember you said they rode motorcycles.  I commute on mine, including this week, big f'n deal.  Probably 75 cc scooters.

They do but where I came from you have to come to work regardless of your self selected mode of transportation.  They are just a couple of fuk-heads is all.  One is a BMW the other a ragged P.O.S. Harley of some kind.  Really does not matter if they are here or not cause they don't do chit anyway and don't have the knowledg or skills to even if they were to try.

Damn, now saying snow on Friday night/Saturday morning down here.  That SUX as it will not be snow it will be nothing but freezing rain and maybe a touch of sleet.  I hate cold weather and below 50 is cold!

I found this at the Honda Dealer when my grandson and I take walks.  I thought it would be fun to drive over for babysitting.    Awhile back I found a new one of these on the internet at a Chicago Honda dealer (2013 for $3,200).  But with my luck, I'd hit a mole and kill myself.

Do they then work from home, or does the boss pay them for not working?  If so, I can not work for him, under those circumstances either - hook a brother up!

I believe it was around 21 degree here this morning.  My wife said her car doors froze.  I sprayed a little Armorall on the rubber door seals, but I'm not sure how well that will work..?  It will probably work for a little while.

Frankly I don't know wtf they do when here other than sleep and really don't know or care whether they are sleeping from home or what.  I do my job, collect my check and don't give a shit what  the other 50 or so are doing or not as long as they are not in my way.

Our supervisors were always pretty nice, and if it snowed real bad they would let us call in and take a vacation day off.  That was in the good old days.  Before I retired, I got a real hard ass boss.  I called in due to about having about 10 inches of snow, and she docked me a days pay, and wrote me up for not showing up to work.  After that, when we'd get a bad snow, I'd call in sick for 4 days.  On the 5th day, you had to have a doctors excuse.  But I was always lucky to get well on the 4th day.   And lucky for me, I got paid sick days.

We can all work from home if roads are a problem from snow or ice, etc.... that is not an issue at all.
