rolling rock used to be very popular here about 20 yrs go. i haven't seen much of them lately. i'll have to look for them.

Pete I did the drip system for all the smaller pots and hanging baskets last year.  Its real easy and you are right on size of the line.  Start with a 1/2" line and then just use the 1/4" line with the micro sprinklers.  I like the adjustable heads that spray 1/2 gal to 10 gal / hour.  To make it easy just start at the faucet and work out from there.

Last night at trivia tried Terrapin's Maggie's Peach Farmhouse Ale, quite refreshing on the patio after digging up three large azalea bushes to put in two pomegranates. I don't think I've had a Terrapin that I didn't like...

If you like bourbon, I was recently introduced to one called Big Bottom. I don't think I've had a bourbon with that much complex flavor before, lots of caramel and vanilla! Perfect with some Red Rock or Blenheim hot ginger ale and fresh lime juice.

Pete,

I'll be sipping some real coffee soon.

Kona!
Direct from Hawaii. Non of that pimped version we get here in the states. This will be the real McCoy!

In the meantime, it will be Heineken tonight. Or Johnny Walker Double Black.

Travis,

It should be a crime to the way they treat this coffee.
But you have to have a taste for it too.


Pete,

One day I will show you my liquor collection. I think you will love it.

A few years ago, I spent a week on the Big Island with a friend, and every morning it was Kona coffee and fresh mangos for breakfast. It is THE best coffee. Tonight, an Eel River organic Blonde Ale.
