2025 Happy hour zoom

[Sandy Feet]

I'm home. I will try to log on.

Josh, I'm on but there is nothing else.

Give him a couple minutes

I fell asleep (again).
Too many drinks the evening before

 

[Craigerrr]

Sorry folks, completely slipped my mind

Apparently there were a few on for a bit. I didn't get home until after 6. I started bullshitting with people at the brewery, and the next thing I knew it was time to call Uber. I'm glad I got to talk to Josh for a little bit.
Uber was cheap, and I am glad I decided not to drive yesterday. I'm OK with 2, but I knew it was going to be more than that.

I got on and jawed with @Josh Hughes for a bit but busy packing for South Padre Island. We managed to solve several of the world’s problems IIRC.

@Sunfire96 Turns out Amazon sells Tonic Syrup. They suggest mixing with seltzer 5 to 1, so that $28 liter of syrup would make 6 liters of tonic. I can get a 2 liter bottle at Publix for $1, so 20 liters would run around $10. Not much of a value proposition there, like ten times more expensive.

Now, if you happened to grow a cinchona tree, you could use its bark as the source for quinine.

Good to know! I was toying with the idea of having gin and tonic (my favorite cocktail) on tap. I can supply water and carbonation, so I was thinking it'd be cheaper to cut out buying fully made tonic but sounds like it's not. Thanks, Don!
