This is the last time I’ll go grocery shopping Sunday night. The more discerning local winos, following my example, have all switched over to Liberty Creek Merlot. Yellowtail Merlot was $3 more, way out of my price range. So I I got this Liberty Creek “Chardonnay”, $5,97 for 1.5L same as the Merlot.
Chardonnay? A new adventure for me. How was it Birdy? Man, this LCreek CAB is fine. HEB or Walgreens, Neal. Bearing in mind I have NO idea what Chardonnay is supposed to to taste like. First impression was a trip down memory lane........ BOONES FARM!..... from back in the days when Ernest and Julio made millions peddling cheap wine to teenagers.But less sweet and more refined than that. Second impression.... this is what what white vinegar tastes like before it becomes vinegar. Which ain’t to say it’s bad. The Merlot and Cabernet demand your attention, you COULD chugalug them but that would require conscious effort. The flavor of this Chardonnay is subtle and unobtrusive enough that if I was thirsty I could easily drink the whole 1.7.L in about two minutes or less. Still is 12% alcohol by volume tho, just like the others.

Chardonnay? A new adventure for me. Do you have a Trader Joe’s around? They’re the king of two buck chuck. They have some respectable wines for amazing prices. I’m not a wine drinker and can’t tell the difference between expensive wines and cheap ones but those with more sophisticated palates tell me they’re a great value. I like Trader Joe’s, they always have quality products at reasonable prices. I like their cheeses. 👍

I'm pretty sure two buck Chuck has gone up to three bucks, last time I was in a Trader Joe's they wanted $2.99 for it. My local hooch emporium has some stuff called Three Wishes that goes for about $3.50 and it ain't half bad. I go in on Wednesdays which is their 10% off day and stock up on it, that makes it $3.15. Even Birdwatcher could swing that.

Regarding shoelaces. Do you have any recommendations? There's so many choices! You got your hard weave cotton boot lace on the right and your soft weave stretchy poly crap on the left. The latter stretch and load up with stickers and cactus spines. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/YSgQzcDQ/20190504-113322.jpg) Those are pretty tall boots! It's amazing that you still have them. I would have thought that they got damaged at Verdun when you fought beside Sgt. York Do you still have the leggins and jodpurs?  Russell moccasin turkey snaker left and Russell something else on rt. The ones on the right look just like my Russell Bird Shooters that I bought in around 1977. They are still going strong and I can't wear them out! They worked fine in Africa in the '80s and in New Mexico today. The soles seem impervious to wear. Norm

Norm I am not sure how you lot get boots to last that long, mine are generally screwed within four years. Unless I leave them in the back of the cupboard and don't use them.

Some things are always the same. Only thing that changes is the day of the week. If you are willing, it will come back around too.
Did you find the key?

You couldn't score a piece outside of a whorehouse. And probably not inside one either.

Friend sent pics of Havre yesterday and it appears winter is still in full swing. Illinois got schit weather also. I hope it takes a break because I'm supposed to ride up there this weekend.

My dog IS NOT and HAS NOT been constipated of late.
Out on a limb I'd venture 5-6 fresh dumps in yard over the weekend while we watched the wife pressure wash the decks.
