Wow, that was unexpected. Thank you for the win. It's been a while since I have had the honor. I would like to thank my agent, Angela, My kids, my grandson, my long-time friend Time Lord, If I leave anyone out please excuse me, I am just so overwhelmed. My desert friend Victor, my nautical friend Admiral, and the person who declared me the winner, Rob Smith! Remember not to spend it all in one place.

Ok, rule reminder:

1. Winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules.
2. Chooses a future event that triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.)
3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached.
4. When the target is reached, the old winner posts a declaration of the new winner and also PMs them.
5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.)
6. No double posts. Violators buy drinks or a meal for the house in Rocky's.
7. Additional rule retained from the last round - No posts that APPEAR to be blank - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post)

One final comment - Happy 2022 everyone!

On the upper left coast I awoke this new year's day to 22F up from an overnight low of 20F.
Tomorrow rain is forecast and hopefully the snow and ice will melt away.
Congratz Carlos and happy new year to all. All should get vaxed if you're not and get boosted if you are already are vaxed.

Congratz Carlos while I enjoy a sunny Sunday morning.

Cheers.

Congratz Carlos.

Winning now that my mowing is done and I can relax with a few beers.

Cheers.

It is getting cold outside tonight. The mercury is down to 12°f/-7°c with a -6°f/-12°c wind chill.
Will be trying for the next win.

It's just 22C (feels like 20C) here and the word is out that the cyclone to the NE is turning back towards the coast so things could get a little wild up here later in the week.

Cheers.

1 can only hope, but cyclones have a mind of their own.

Cheers.

Congrats Carlos!

Sunday morning win.

Mission accomplished. Daughter moved into her new house. Now I have to fly back to California.
Do you know the way to Albuquerque. I fly ABQ to SAN to OAK.

It's now Monday morning here and I'm still pottering away trying to get ahead of things.

But I'll have to head off to bed sooner or later.

Cheers.

On the upper left coast I awoke to 38F but the temp has sence dropped 2 degrees. This is not helping very much to melt the snowy, icy mess we've had this past week.

Woke up to a sunny morning here.

It's just a shame about the wind.

Cheers.

CONGRATS, Carlos!!!!! :-) :-D

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!!! :-) :-D

God Bless,

Well I'm winning after finally catching up on last Hump Day's domestic duties while getting ahead of next Hump Day's so that I can bottle beer tomorrow.

Now it's time for a few beers and a rest. ;-)

Cheers.

how long is isolation now?

Well other than the wind it has been rather sunny here today with the mercury reaching 25C (felt like 23C) and all is now ready in the brewroom for tomorrow.

Cheers.
