Omg no that’s not a marg tequila … I mean it can be but at that point you just get casodores or Milagro blanco.

Our Costco has a really good deal on the first one I mentioned

So do you do neat, on the rocks? Curious on everyone's preferred drinking methods as I've really only gotten into tequila since quarantine when I realized I like it so much more than whisky.

We are neat people.

I enjoy a Cadillac Margarita on the rocks but that's quite the high calorie beverage and it always tastes better when somebody makes it for me. Ice cold bottle of Modelo Especial or Bohemia Clara in a chilled pint glass with lime in the bottom and the high grade tequila side neat is at the forefront of Uncle Desert's calorie controlled alcoholism.

Skinny margarita is the way to go. And one of my favorite vices. The issue is I need 4…

And now I want a chilled south of the border beer also. Thanks bro

I like a good sipping tequila either room temp or with 1 small ice cube.
CSB:
I was on a cruise once, on a snorkeling catamaran, and we were served tequila mixed with Squirt. I though, are they serving to stupid tourists, but have to admit it was tasty. At least, it would improve a cheap tequila. Anyway, later that year, on the last working day of the year, a coworker, a Mexican dood, snuck in a bottle of tequila into the building to celebrate the end of the year and a few of us met in secret to share it, and lo and behold, he served it with Squirt! Turns out it is a real Mexican thing after all.

You can buy a 1.75 of Herradura Reposado at Costco for 54 bucks. Similar results on El Padrino at Total Wine. This may be your strongest argument yet for emigration.

Showed some restraint and only got a double cheese burger and shared a thing of fries with Michelle. I like to build their burgers up with jalapeños and hot sauce and stuff like that, but kept it basic last night with mustard, pickles, and onions. The was less greasy than I’m used to from FG and that was a pleasant surprise.

I sealed some of the aggregate stone work in the front of the house. It's two years past due and little pebbles started to come unglued. I can't wait that long from now on. $200 bucket of goop 70% gone, but I'm about 70% done so I'll work down the other side of the driveway once this dries.

The smooth surface needs something else, I think it's painted and it does not like driveway sealer at all. Save that for another day altogether.







Dropped eight bags of topsoil and grass seed as well. Significant progress with the front lawn since we moved here, we could have dropped sod but i find the seeding to be therapeutic and slightly more satisfying.







It's all pretty dece grass underneath that soil but this should get it to the next level. SMOL AF frontage, but i enjoy it without really breaking a sweat.

Ah yes, exposed aggregate needs sealing every 2 years, at least it's a simple job and looks when complete. Generally, flat/smooth concrete doesn't need anything unless you want it to look different.

Dude.. squirt is awesome. Grapefruit flavored “sprite”, but imo always seems to be one of the most carbonated sodas around. That shit is so good.

It is a tad more citrusy than Sprite IMHO.

I have a real struggle with growing grass under a couple of maples in my front yard. I've slowly been planting Scotts heavy shade seed over the last couple of years but I still have a long way to go before it all fills in. I had sod laid down previously, but it only lasted a few years.
