Time Travel and Alcohol

Sitting here by the fire with the wife. Been under the weather today. Those of you who are self employed will understand, you only get sick when you finally get time off. Today is my first day off in months, i only worked four hours
sat by the fire, wife gave me a scotch and put a blanket on me and told me to try to sleep.
Well. The five scotches really helped clear my head. I asked the wife who was going to pick up the older boy, because I am in no condition to drive and "it has to be getting on to ten o'clock" (when he needs to be picked up).
Apparently it's only 7:00. Still a half hour til 'Jeopardy' even.
Recipe for time travel:
Cold virus+dayquil+relaxing fire+10oz of Islay Scotch
(rough calcs seem to imply that 5oz scotch=1.5hr time travel into the past). More testing req'd
I am going to have another, and try to post again, but an hour earlier. Wish me luck

What's the scotch?

Laphroaig. I like it because the taste reminds me of cigarettes and burnt vinyl.[social media disclaimer: irony and sarcasm may be used in some or all of user's posts; emoticon usage is intended to indicate moderately jocular social interaction; the comments toward users, their usernames, and the real people (living or dead) that they refer to are not intended to be adversarial in nature; those replying to this user are entering into a tacit agreement that they are real-life or social-media acquaintances and/or have agreed to or tacitly agreed to perpetrate occasional good-natured ribbing between and among themselves and others]

sure you're just not sitting too close to the fire, Jeff?Darby_Crenshaw said:...taste reminds me of cigarettes and burnt vinyl. -
It's got a lot of phenols, and is maybe the smokiest of the peaty Islay single malts.
Been described as smelling 'like a burning hospital'
definitely an acquired taste

According to my drunx-capacitor, it's now 5:30. But I am not sure if it's A.M. or P.M.

I feel your pain. I started night shift on 7/28/15 and have only had a 1/2 a shift off since. Have been bounced from Mid Bay port to the spool base to Devils Tower platform out in the gulf over and over with no relief in sight until mid November. I may try your time travel concoction and see if I can go back a few months in time. If it works, I will not hire in on this job again. I will stay home and cookDarby_Crenshaw said:Today is my first day off in months, Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

Funny observation. I will back your story up, years ago a friend and I jumped in on a quart of damson plum moonshine. After it was gone and a friend was driving us home my buddy saw it was 6:45 and said "God #%^*! I have to be at work in 15 minutes." I told him it was 6:45 in the evening, he said "Thank God." It was 20 years ago and we still laugh about his time travel.

It's now 11:15, but the sun is still out. One of us is behind twelve hours. Or ahead. Paranoia setting in. Also, someone drank half my bottle of Laphroaig and had a fire in my fire place.
I see Buffalo Bills are tanking it hard, per usual, so the space-time-continuum appears to still be ok.
Will report more from future when able.[social media disclaimer: irony and sarcasm may be used in some or all of user's posts; emoticon usage is intended to indicate moderately jocular social interaction; the comments toward users, their usernames, and the real people (living or dead) that they refer to are not intended to be adversarial in nature; those replying to this user are entering into a tacit agreement that they are real-life or social-media acquaintances and/or have agreed to or tacitly agreed to perpetrate occasional good-natured ribbing between and among themselves and others] -

@Legume
There's a sign over my front door that says "Laughter House Five". Not sure what to make of it.[social media disclaimer: irony and sarcasm may be used in some or all of user's posts; emoticon usage is intended to indicate moderately jocular social interaction; the comments toward users, their usernames, and the real people (living or dead) that they refer to are not intended to be adversarial in nature; those replying to this user are entering into a tacit agreement that they are real-life or social-media acquaintances and/or have agreed to or tacitly agreed to perpetrate occasional good-natured ribbing between and among themselves and others] -

My favorite Islay Scotch Whisky would have to be Bowmore. I hope you feel better.
