Sorry Alaskan, the misses is a picky beer drinker. I am a Vodka man myself. My Brother has been in Russia and is supposed to be bringing me some "real" vodka back.

Stainless: Not to worry , a friend of mine here has a distributorship for "Red Star" vodka. It's made in eastern Russia and it very good.
It's the only vodka I've been able to drink "neat".
Shin: Your safe, never developed a taste for scotch, my taste buds are more tuned for cheap Canadian Blended. Also theres a liquor store a block away from the harbor masters and 2 bars at the top of the boat ramp.
We may be small , but have all the basic necessity's.

Good looking place. well set up.

Dread:
Of course every place has its drawbacks, this is ours about 5 months out of the year




This morning when we got up it was 15 above and got 8" on snow yesterday.
Springs right around the corner, you'd never know it looking out the window here.

Every place has its own charms. Its snowing here today.

When my mrs saw that snow
she said to me "you go -
I won't drink your beer
but I'm staying here
where the temperature isn't so low".

Shin: Dont wimp out on me. I've got some extra parkas in the basement and insulated boots . Got some long underwear that would fit you.
Hell, it would be an adventure....

Well Alaskan, I think I may have to pass as well. For some reason I forgot about that cold. I was born in Florida, lived in Florida, and God willing, will die in Florida. Only left while serving Uncle Sam.

Like I said I live 15-20 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. To me white stuff is beach sand. I do not even own extreme cold weather gear, never needed it. Never needed a wood stove, never needed a back-up heater, need a back-up AC and sunscreen.

I'll keep my vodka in the freezer and think of you the next time I'm sitting on the beach (probably Saturday).

But you can come down to the FloraBama lounge for the annual mullet toss.

Sainless: Thanks for the invite.
I've got a buddy that moved to Inverness, him and his wife keep trying to get us down for a visit.
I'm in the heating business, so winter is my busy time. Then in the spring and summer we run a plant nursery out of our home. Then in the fall the holidays start and the kids start showing up.
I havn't been out of Alaska for about 7 years and that was taking a boat down to Seattle and flying home after being there about 3 days.
My wife hasn't been outside for about 10 yrs. That was to visit her mom, who has since passed away.
I know folks here that will climb on a plane to go see a ball game.
Guess I just comfortable in my little corner of the world.

you guys are a bunch of wimps!
