Instead of stout, I will have a bottle of Champagne<br />to share on the celebration.<br /><br />Buck hits it on the head about when Guinness is enjoyed; In a chilly pub over near Eire or England. <br /><br />I wish I knew of any local Lex followers here in Jax. I have a full keg and about 250 bottles of wine and spirits, probably enough to last the evening!Barco Sin Vela IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621907771132379553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-66592607538876715642012-03-09T01:35:59.911-07:002012-03-09T01:35:59.911-07:00as it will be 04:00 CET Saturday, I will have to r...as it will be 04:00 CET Saturday, I will have to raise my glass a wee bit earlier. <br /><br />Phil CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-11701050383153503112012-03-08T22:18:30.326-07:002012-03-08T22:18:30.326-07:00Will hoist and tip the glass at the proper time. ...Will hoist and tip the glass at the proper time. Pro'l'ly won't be Guinness (For Strength!)-- I'd have loved to buy Captain LeFon one-- but he'd want us to tip what we like. <br /><br />Dang. I wish I'd met him like I met you. Hero. Long established, we were on the same deployment ca. 1986, him on the Conny, me and mine deep in the bilges of the California. <br /><br />Different situation though. <br /><br />Speaking of tips, I once calculated the price of SOCAL gas gallons by the capacity of the Beemer 'cycle he was riding and sent him that size via Pay Pal. Quite puzzled was he by the "tip" of something like $23.17. Infinite bargain for all he's written, especially for the Rhythms compendium. <br /><br />Sergeant, I feel like you in sadness for the loss of your blogfather. I can't imagine what you are thinking about your mil-kids.

I had a standing rule in civilian life to NEVER be anywhere BUT the bar at that time on Fridays. The rule didn't hold sometimes, but it was only the rare occasions when it was breached.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-15573164793195031552012-03-08T18:29:51.043-07:002012-03-08T18:29:51.043-07:00Drink a second Guinness for me - my birthday ya kn...<i>Drink a second Guinness for me - my birthday ya know!</i><br /><br />I think I can do that.
