The Monkey

Controlled burn?

This is a shitty way to end the summer. We're trying to figure out if we should leave eastern LI to head back to our apartment where we could be told to evacuate.

Situations like this always highlight for me the limited capacity of the majority of people in this world, but more specifically my mother, to distinguish fact from rumor or speculation.

Happy birthday Don!

Started to take this hurricane stuff more seriously.

Felt it at a restaurant in East Hampton. Like being on a raft. I was wondering how I could get so shitfaced off of one margarita.

Happy birthday!

Whoa! It's all, like, dark.

Harry’s Dilemma (modified) 2 oz bourbon (Four Roses – Small Batch) 1 oz sweet vermouth (Carpano Antica) 1/2 oz cherry brandy (Heering) 3 dashes Fee Brothers whiskey barrel bitters (Angostura)

Happy Birthday, Ian!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Brent. You'll be back before you know it.

I OBJECT! j/k, I'm fine.

^Approve.

One of those nights. Made a Remember the Maine that I'd rather forget. Tried again. So-so. This is a drink that requires moderation with the ingredients--except the rye of course. Just made a nice big Manhattan. I should just stick to these. Got some Carpano Antica today. Looking forward to trying it, but if one more bottle of vermouth goes in the fridge there will be much fighting with the Missus.

Get some wireless headphones and report back.

Updated the firmware on my little POS HP printer. Now Airplay compatible. Printing from iPad is a breeze. Also, fixed water pressure at my parents place, which is a small miracle given my (lack of) skillz at such things.

Quit while you're behind.

Closing to avoid confusion and some sort of ensuing time warp.

Happy Birthday, Tyll!

my advice is not to try. no good will come of it.

Well done, lad!

Jesus. Like.

Yay Todd!
