Out for a motorcycle ride. Met up with one of my brothers but he decided to be a dink and make quick lane changes and turns like he’s trying to lose me even though we have radios and he can give me a verbal heads up that he’s decided to make a turn sooo we parted ways and I ripped up and over the other side of Burnaby Mountain passed Simon Fraser University and into Vancouver.

Spotted a brewery tasting room I’ve passed many times and never really noticed or stopped at before, Strathcona Brewing, so swung in for a taster flight of 4 brews - a cherry blanche, peach raspberry, headbanger fresh hop IPA, and a pina colada sour. They’re all actually pretty good!

Probably won’t stick around in town for food as there’s a 60% chance of rain in an hour so best drink up and ride home before I get soaked - might catch a few drops on the way anyways.. c’est la vie.

Started raining before I left the brewery. At least it stayed very light rain the whole way home! Supposed to rain for about a week now. Hot food time.. should drink some water. Miiiight pour a drink later if a friend is comin' over, but otherwise I think it's water and maybe hot herbal tea time tonight.

If you keep drinking, make the switch to some sort of vodka soda.

Even better would be to quit/minimize drinking.


Just found out there's 20 grams of sugar in a can of Magners. 8O

Got some vodka and slimline tonic so I'll see if I can stomach that instead. Unfortunately me drinking spirits normally ends up with my head down the toilet..

I wish. No it's all fat. 13 3/4 stone now though and hopefully my switch to vodka and slimline tonic will help me lose more weight and get my blood sugar back to normal.

(thanks for the advice goldfish21)

Had a 2-3 at the beach a couple days in a row, had a few ounces of whiskey last night. Bit of a staycation with the house to myself the last couple weeks so I guess that's part of how I've justified drinking. Also had a day or two I didn't drink at all and it's not difficult for me to do. I'll be cutting down significantly, doing more physical work and exercise. Gotta get stronger again, more productive.. not slip and get weak and fat, and wasting time having a daily drink or three isn't going to help in the productivity nor calorie department. Time to cut down to a single drink here and there, or a couple drinks on Friday night kind of thing.

I’ll be in a wet county on Monday.
Thinking of what to buy.Tight budget this month, I had to put on two new tires.Next month I have to get the other pair.Can’t run on slicks in the winter here.There should be fresh pressed cider available at store so I may get some with my food benefits and ferment some more off.

Wet Counties and Dry Counties? It sometimes looks as if the US of A hasn't fully emerged from Prohibition yet. :lol:
