Nero Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Work, a poster design, taxes and organizing a double bachelor party is what's going to entertain me these days... Next week I'm beginning an online Masters degree, and it's funny how unenthusiastic I feel about it comparing to two months ago when I signed up...

Masters, that's still interesting day 1, course 1 all of that seems so far away from your goals but it will not be long before you see the light at the end of the tunnel.....and hopefully not a train coming the other way. The payoff and satisfaction are worth it, what is your area of study? And at least you won't wonder for awhile what to do with all of your free time, buena suerte!

I'm Architect, and ended college last year. I'm going to study a Master to become BIM Manager. I suggest you to search what's that about, lol. One hard year long master.

Both are very good friends and have most of their "guests" in common and marry one week away one from another, so they decided to combine both parties, and I've got some experience organizing them lately. There were 40 people invited to join the party and we will end up being 20 guys in what's going to be an unbelievable weekend in early June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd sound.... kind of a collective "WHOOO"... when it was clear the ball had cleared the fence was unlike any crowd noise I'd heard before. It was really cool. While I admire your self control nonetheless that must be the world's smallest wine glass... We'll see. Opening it tonight. Good thing the old winefridge has backups available. Plus I had yesterday confused with today so there's one less day for it to last. Fortunately no one else here likes dry red wines and I have a good air sucker with corks to keep it decent for a week.

Sounds good, I spent most of my working career in the steel industry starting in basic steel with US STEEL and ended up with NUCOR in their steel joist, girder and deck division before retiring. It was quite interesting and I liked NUCOR, great company. I did get my MBA finished while at NUCOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUCOR (NUE) has historically been a great stock, never reduced a dividend, in my day never laid anyone off and used to split all the time. It has really grown especially after I retired.

Well, as the original board wino, I had a vacu-vin once upon a time, didn't like it. Here's why. When you create a vacuum on top of wine, it sucks all those nice volatile aromas out of the wine into the vacuum too. LOL, most bottles don't last long enough around here for me to do multiple tastings out of them. If I was going to try and preserve a great wine, I'd get a can of compressed nitrogen (same principle as those really pricey Cruvinets). The really old (20+ y.o.) wines I have start changing the minute you open them. I do have a bottle of Kenwood Sonoma chardonnay that's been sitting in the 'fridge for a week or two. I don't worry about the everyday swill $10 Cline Old Vine zinfandel I keep lying around when the wife wants something to drink while she's watching House Hunters International. Draft Day I'll probably stick with some 2013 Napa Cellars "V" (their top of the line) Cabernet I got at a massive post off sale. Nothing like getting an $80 wine for $25 bucks- and it tastes like a $80 cab. If I hear any QBs name that isn't Allen or (unlikely) Jackson at #1, it will be time to break out the Diplomatico or Lagavullin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to share that bottle of Napa Cab with my son in law tonight so I'm down to about 2 glasses left. Thinking about one of my Bordeauxs next. And if I hear Allen it will be a triple shot of Diplomatico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
