Picked up a bottle of Knob Creek today. Trying to kick the beer because I found out I’m prediabetic so trying out the no (or close to no) sugar, low carb thing to try to keep it at bay. I can drink 3 bourbons to one beer carb wise so bourbon it is!
Got my labs back today. Got my A1C down several points under the prediabetic cut off. Now I just have to maintain it.

I am on vacation. Heading to Florida on Wednesday, kid is in a 4 day volleyball tournament starting Thursday. Next Monday we get on a cruise ship, got the owners suite on the Allure of the Seas. When we get back to port we will go hit universal studios for a few days before heading back to Texas. Not a cheap vacation at all. But anyhow. Today I decided to hang out by the pool and get into vacation mode. Finished my 2nd pitcher of margaritas and now it’s onto straight whisky. We had planned to go down to Florida this past Saturday but the kid had a tournament over the weekend so that killed that. But should be fun. Even tonight I think it’s supposed to rain the entire fucking time we are there.

Yeah, If you take the meds and do a little of what the doc says its amazing. My A1C was climbing for years..6..7..8...9. Then I took the meds , quit beer, watched a little of what I ate (no calories in pussy right?) and now its at a 4.5. Average Glucose was at 82 (range is 70-130) so I was pretty fucking happy. You are too young to be getting the betis... watch that shit man. I took it for granted that I would just die fast. nah... it makes you die slow... and painful.

Sitting in Orlando. Went to the liquor store and bought a bottle of Basil Hayden Toast flavor. It’s not exactly cheap but damn good. Also picked up some Petron Silver for some margaritas. Gotta stay in vacation mode. Went to dinner at paddlefish and had an awesome old fashioned.

That stuff is way more $$ here than in Texas. Just looked and Total Wine and More has the Toast 750 for $43. Here it was $73. Tourism tax I guess.

Pretty good. I just had a few sips of it because I'm sick right now. I'm soaking some chicken to cook tomorrow for our lunches next week.

@Silverback

Glad your getting enough rain to keep the boat afloat down there in Fl.
Not on the boat yet. Monday we get on-board. Been at the kids volleyball tournament. Talk about big. Over 1000 clubs. Each club has at least one team. Ages 12/13/14 and 17/18. The “room” she is playing in has 153 courts and is almost a million sq ft. They have been doing great. Were 7-0 but this morning they lost a middle hitter due to injury. It really hurt the lineup. We then lost one.. won one and then lost again tonight. So they are 8-2. Start back up again tomorrow at 6:30. There are 78 teams in their bracket and the worst they can due at this point is 16th. The best is 9th. So not too bad. Today we started at 6:30AM and finished at 8:30PM. So now I am digging into this.

Oh nice!

I was going to say if anyone was down this way, 4 locations in SA absolutely a worth stopping in to eat.

Order an Uncle Sam pizza, but have them substitute with Alfredo sauce instead, absolutely delicious.

Well the Arron Lewis concert sucked, glad we didn't pay for the tickets. The dude was a bit messed up, his first 4 songs was almost enough to put you to sleep. Then he sang other/various artists songs, atleast the beer was cold.
