Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

My brother sent me a 1959 promotional postcard of a motel my parents owned, back in the day. It was in Fox Lake, Il. I had not seen this until today.
Harvey, how cool would it be to have one of those cars today in your folks motel parking lot! That and I remember explaining to my kids the difference between a hotel and a motel. Get your kicks on Route 66!
 
Evening Guardians! 19 is helping out today.

Nice to see your Hartshead Barlow there Taylor, that's what a Lambsfoot should look like :) :) :thumbsup:
Ya know, I couldn’t tell ya the last time I drank an IPA. Pretty crazy, been enjoying light beers!
Blimey! Funnily enough though, I've been having a break from the big, strong, hoppy beers myself, though I did have a cloudy IPA last night ;) :thumbsup:
It was an expensive venture. She had to have one with a touch screen on the front. Why a fridge needs a computer on the front, I will never know. Happy wife happy life. She doesnt argue when little boxes get delivered regularly. I had to just do what the boss wanted with a smile on my face 🤣 😂 😆.
Good attitude Paul :) I had a friend whose missus ordered a fridge which was so big that they couldn't get it into the house without removing the front door! :eek: 🤣 At least you got it sorted :thumbsup:
Smashing pic Dwight :) :thumbsup:
It’s about to get peaty in here. View attachment 2079492
Nice Pete! :) :thumbsup:
Haha! Trouble is I can't afford to drink that scotch exclusively (or I would). So I downgrade ever so slightly to 1920 and Knob Creek 9. :D
I can remember when Lagavulin 16 was my regular tipple! :D I don't think I was any more affluent then, but it was considerably less expensive :thumbsup:
Ooh! My favorite since 1997! But I had some Ardbeg Corryvreckan last year that I think is even better.
I have yet to try that :) The supermarkets here took over from specialist wine and spirits shops some years back, with the latter now very hard to find. Because of the hikes in malt whisky prices, the supermarkets now tend to stock less expensive brands, and a narrower range, so obtaining your Scotch of choice is not as straightforward as it once was here :( :thumbsup:

That is fantastic Harvey, I love the colours :cool: Life was sunnier then :) :thumbsup:
Looks like that Hibiki is going down Vince :) Nice to see your AC :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a great weekend, and that all you sports fans get the results you'd like! :) I've got plenty to do in and around the house today. To celebrate Crappie71 Crappie71 pocketing his Waynorth Lambsfoot, I thought I'd carry :) Enjoy your Sunday Guardians :) :thumbsup:

Mamma bear wants a new fridge. I have spent half the day searching for the perfect one lol.

Great lamb Paul. The first refrigerator we bought when we got married 30 years ago is my garage beer frig. The one we replaced it with has already had issues. 🙄
Happy Saturday Guardians!!

Nice post Taylor. Three wonderful pleasures in life. 😎👍
Really cool photo John. 😎👍
 
Good morning Guardians. I missed the whiskey/whisky talk last night. My wife’s dad was a scotch drinker. I really tried to like it but after I knew he was going to let me marry his daughter I went back to bourbon. 😄
I’ve been sipping on Woodford Double Oak and Maker’s Cask Strength but my “EDC” is 101. 😉👍 I buy it in the big bottle. This one needs replacing. 66B51675-FDC9-4C1F-8FF2-742482AA297C.jpeg
 
Cool pic John, have a great day brother :) :thumbsup:
Rocking on the porch telling tales, sipping whiskey and talking knives, it's going to be a good day.View attachment 2079806
What a life! :D :) :thumbsup:
Thanks Jack. The games didn’t go well but it was good to see him play. 😎👍
Sorry to hear that Todd, I'm glad you were able to spend some time together though :) :thumbsup:

Dare I say “Gobble Gobble”

I like the Turkey too Todd. I even tried their rye whiskey and it’s a good one !
 
I was tempted to have a slug in my morning coffee, after reading all the posts here! :D Enjoy the game Rachel :) :thumbsup:
Thanks, Jack!
I declined an invitation to a Super Bowl party, since I've really been looking forward to staying home and watching. I made a healthy chicken/lentil soup yesterday and I've stocked up on junk food and spirits. I wanna control the remote and not have to drive home afterwards.
The problem with Super Bowl parties is, either everyone is talking and it's hard to focus on the game, or everyone is so focused on the game that it's hard to socialize. Somehow, this can happen simultaneously. 🤔🤣 Half the people are sports fans and the other half want to watch the commercials and half time show. I like both, so it's hard to know when to take a bathroom break.

"...large amounts of drinking is anticipated..." local KMIZ channel 17 news a few minutes ago talking about Superbowl parties and the expectation that the bars will be full of fans. 🥳🍻 Extra Highway Patrol to be out and about looking for drunk driving. Me? I'll probably drink a Scotch or two, but I'm staying home and watching the game. I think the two best teams in the league are playing, so hopefully it'll be a good game. I only saw a couple of Eagles games. I think they're going to be hard to handle.
Go Chiefs!

That's hilarious Todd! :D :thumbsup:
Thanks Jack. He was a great guy, and he eventually accepted my bourbon drinking, especially when I introduced him to Manhattans. 😄👍
Since I'm more of a (seldom) beer drinker, I'm not sure I know the difference between bourbon, scotch, and whiskey... but I enjoy the stories. :)
It’s a rabbit hole John, but a darn tasty one! 😎👍

That’s sounds like a solid recommendation Pete…I’m warming up the car right now.
😎👍
