What are you drinking now?

Coffee. The simple filter dark roast coffee with REAL DAIRY MILK (from a cow!).

Toasting these 3 fallen young men out of the original 8 in my son’s squad in the sandbox. I never met them, but I feel like I have. Fortunately my son was the SAW gunner and covering the team when the IED took the 1st two. The third was taken by a sniper on his first day as the new squad leader a few days later. He was my 4 year old grandson’s bestie. My heart still breaks for their parents, especially for Gifford’s and his fiancée. She seemed so nice, so appreciative. We met them at the funeral at Point Loma. I pray that 20 years later they have made peace with their loss.

edit: forgot to hit post last night.

Yes it is/was. My son tested well, wanted Rangers got offered his choice of 18X (5yrs) or Apache pilot (8yrs). He took 18X. He did combined basic/infantry at Bragg, Airborne at Benning and then Camp Mackall for Green Beret. He got hurt on the course (quicksand!) and was med-dropped from SF. That’s how he ended up in the just reconstituted 3rd of the 509th Airborne Paratroopers at Fort Richardson, AK. The original ill-fated “Geronimo's” that suffered 90% casualties at the Battle of the Bulge. After a year of Arctic training they deploy to the sandbox and kick down doors and grab up high value detainees. That’s how he ended up squatting in that shooting gallery for 6 months. After a 14 month tour he went back and graduated from the SWC. He retired last year after doing 20. Anything but a straight line.

'K, 3/4 of lawn done, starting to rain, time for cold drink on the porch...except this is only thing in the 'fridge and it's awful! I am definitely a dark ale/porter/stout man.

As my buddy Tim in London might say "'tis the Devil's brew!"

The sun is out, chores done, just enjoying a quiet day at home.

Belching Beaver's Phantom Bride IPA

 

[jheu02]

American IPA at El IBU in Madrid I quit beer for most of May to drop a little weight since some of my clothes were getting just a little tight. ...still want to drop a couple more pounds, but I'm not into fad diets, etc, so just cutting portions and snacks and exercising a little more now that the weather is nicer. Not much of a gym fan.

I gave up drinking alcohol years ago, so for me it's a nice cup of tea.

Absolut, 7Up with a splash of cranberry. Some skunk from the back porch with Neil Young on the jukebox.
