Little bit, yup lol.

Thats what happens with that spicy stuff

Man, it's nice to feel normal for at least a moment. Just grabbed some carryout from one of my favorite watering holes. Carryout food only, of course. But, fantastic food nonetheless. Bonus was that they let me sit down and have a beer while I waited for my food. Damn, man. That just made my week. For 10 glorious minutes, life was normal. But then the food came and I had to go. My favorite bartender there was the one who served me, and the owner (as usual) cooked my food. It was so nice to see them. Tipped very well because I'm sure they're hurting. Patronize these places when you can, folks. Literally every single order they get matters. McDonald's, Wendy's and Subway will be just fine. They don't need patronage to survive. These places do. I missed these ladies, and they let me know that they were grateful for me stopping in. They both said they missed me as much as I missed them. Made my day, made me tear up a little, not ashamed to say it.

Same here. Except restaurants and bars are allowed to do delivery and carryout. If you find a place that isn't a chain (and you know them) you can manage a beer while you wait. And those places you keep a secret

Just got a text I thought y'all might find amusing. Figure we could all use a good laugh about now

Heard a Dr. on TV saying in this time of Coronavirus staying at home we should focus on inner peace. To achieve this we should always finish things we start and we all could use more calm in our lives. I looked through my house to find things i'd started and hadn't finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumun srciptuns, an a box a chocletz. Yu haf no idr how feckin fablus I feel rite now. Sned this to all who need inner piss. An telum u luvum. And two hash yer wands, stafe day avrybobby!!!

Write this one down in the books, it'll never happen again. I took a Pepsi load, broker was Pepsi itself. Supposedly a hot load. Man, no joke those folks had me loaded in around 45 minutes. Was told I had a firm delivery at 8am. Got a phone call from Pepsi confirming my appointment time and said they open at 6am and they'd take me then if I can make it. Well hell yes I can, see you then. If this goes off at 6, I'll roll over in my unoccupied grave. News at 11.

Most folks prefer drinkin Pepsi cold. Why you haulin it hot?

Don't be surprised when it happens...

I'll absolutely be surprised if it happens. Pepsi is just as bad as Kroger or Walmart or Cargill. Sit forever waiting for a dock, then sit in that dock until the coroner comes knocking.

I've had pablano peppers make jalopenos look mild.

Fresh peppers can be really flaky heat wise. Some mild, next batch scorcher.

Pablanos are no joke. Definitely hotter than jalapenos.

Sure your not thinking habaneros?

I use pablano because they have more flavor than bell but normally no heat for this Minnesota boy...
