We are gonna make schrimp n NY strips this evenin....maybe see somebodies ball drop....who knows.....HAPPY NEW YEARS
They're about 45 minutes south of me. When did they move to Dakota Territory? Hope they are enjoying the nice winter we are having. We won't talk about winter 2 years ago...
This is what I woke up to. I'm in 4th place. Tonight is supposed to be at least this cold, so staying home and warm and probably sleeping is how this old fart shall ring in the New Year.
Prime rib seasoned and ready for the oven! Prolly an hour or two from now? Stopped by a liquor store this morning (99's idea) and picked up a couple (more) bottles for Saturday's get together shin-dig. Her side of family will be showing up and they'll be hungry and a few will be thirsty...........! It will be a very loud house.
Rotti, if you were ever within earshot, you'd hear just how loud those hen parties of her and her sisters can get!
Then dog and I are staying home. He's been sick, and I'm sick of people (aka dislike crowds) so he's got a new antler to chew on, and I was gonna work on my br600 blower, but disassembly shows it may not be worth fixing. So now I'm just working on a 12 pack plotting what to do next. Grind chains? Resize and prime some brass? Clean guns?
Fireworks means the wife, dog, and army buddy (bangs are not good for him) and I are chilling out ... Couple drinks. Yup no driving.. Check.. Its a holiday.. Fireworks started at 6 pm here..
I just hope I don't hear some urban fireworks at midnight.....aka gunfire. Some people seem to think the sky is an appropriate backstop.
Staying in and keeping the fire tended. Just took a nap so I will likely see the new year roll in with a toast of some sparkling grape juice and a few bites of pork and kraut. There will be 4 of us partying here tonight, me, my bride, our Aussie and miss kitty.
Just got back from a scenic lookout that many here have seen near the house overlooking the Mt Washington omni resort and the higher summits for a spectacular fireworks show! I've been there with Scotty Overkill & WeldrDave near NH mountain man's place. Tonight we'll probably snack a bit and maybe watch the ball drop (not bear 1998's ball ) Might even make a little noise around then, we'll see. Be safe everyone! Happy New Year!
So my MIL ended up taking the little one last night for wife and I's anniversary. Came to pick her up tonight and brought a bunch of gross Chinese food with us. Gonna hang out here for a bit then head home. I'm pretty beat after a few days in the woods.
