Thread: New Years Plans?

A fine cigar and a good scotch next to the fire pit is my plan...

No resolutions here. I started making cider. Have a 1 gallon batch now, plan to brew more next year. And I will start as a volunteer in a few small nature reserves nearby, helping amongst other things to clear paths and remove black cherry trees, a foreign invader from the Americas.
End of next year the surgery will move into a church conversion.

No real plans. Probably be in bed very early because I have a couple younger employees at the shelter and they want to party. That means I need to go in early in the morning and feed and clean the animals. This only takes about an hour or so but I do have to get up early. My partying days are long gone.

Looks like the old year is ending the same way the new one is forecast to start, cold. It's 0945 here -30C with wind chill -40C. Going to be fun getting the goodies for a stay at home New Years feast. Time to plug the car in and hope the block heater is working.

Same here, Bob! and yes, getting out will be interesting! What a winter! At least, the day is bright and beauteous!

Yea, I guess a lot of us are caught in this cold snap both sides of the border. Misery loves company. On the bright side it seldom snows when it is this cold.

This is my friday so i could be up for it but... i get up at 1am to go to work. And being up for 24hrs straight just dont sound like much fun to me. Maybe. I will have a couple beers, get on the radio for a while and see how long i can stay awake past 7pm.

In these parts we haven't had a drop of rain in 3 months so Cousin Festus has to spend New Years Eve diggin the well deeper so we don't run out of water. Then my buddy Mr L has one of his busiest days of the year so he's gone with his sidekick Mr Mort. to parts unknown.

Usually we all party and some of the relations like to go into the National Forrest and roust some poor hibernating bear and roll him down a hill and then run for your life.

I think I'll just watch the twilight Zone this year.

What are you going to do?

Funny that you mention that. I am watching the Twilight Zone Marathon right now!

We are staying in, the winter storms are seeing to that...

But the wife and I are doing it right

Menu is Surf and Turf We have a Magnum bottle of Perseco that we received as a gift we might pop

She picked out the Crab and Lobster and is in charge of those
I picked up two nice Filet Mignon's that I am going to Reverse Seer

Sooooooo Basically sitting around eating. drinking. watching TV, and the snowfall, and we might actually stay awake until midnight..

Serious graze! Here most people have a simple meal, often a could salad and dumplings with powdered sugar. Champagne at midnight.
