12-3 Friday Happy Hour Thread - First Friday of December edition

Happy Friday Savages


Happy Hour is knocking on our door. 1 more Friday down towards 2022. There was a lot of good and fun action here this week. I think @poweredbycaffeine had a huge post for bringing deals in for the end of the year. Fantastic reading there. @dustfrog had probably the funniest post I’ve seen here in a while. I’ve caught myself laughing about it a few times during the day. Between the write up and the comments below, well worth the read.


I’ll be drinking some local IPAs. I’m back in the Chicago area so I’ll thinking Hop Butcher IPAs will be the choice here shortly.


What’s your drink tonight?


Cheers all and happy closing as we hit year end!

I have today off so thinking of going on a long mtb ride then ripping through some Coors Lattes as a reward before dinner with the GFs parents

Hi. I have a huge headache and the deal I was relying on to  close this month has to push to early Q1 because of internal issues...sfkaskfsldfjslfjfuckers. At this point I need a bath tub filled with Kahlua so I can drown myself in it. 

jk I'm just a lil dramatic. Might make bougie cocktails this weekend.

Deals pushing aren't quite the worst (loss of the deal is the worst) but that is aggravating.

Did you get to Bissell?

I'll be working on some Tiny Hat from Zero Gravity, and perhaps an adventure to a local brewery to grab some stouts.

Didn’t make it to Bissell on this trip. We’ve got to back in January to help the in-laws downsize (throw old shit out) and I’ll do it then. Appreciate the recs!

Some maple syrup infused whisky is waiting for me to dive into tonight.

Yea…I am hesitantly optimistic it will taste good but have had some bad infused whisky’s before. Bottle was free so going to give it a shot.

Update…it wasn’t all that great. It was maple syrup with a hint of whisky. Would have been better if it was whisky with a hint of maple syrup.

Pro-tip, bottles of dodgy flavoured whiskey that were gifted to you should not be opened and should be added to the "gift shelf" ready to be passed onto the next lucky person you need to give a gift to.  It's alcohol so no one can complain and they'll likely pass onto the next person till it makes it's way back to you. And so the cycle continues

@sketchysales good call didn't even think about the re-gift option. I have had some decent flavored liquors in the past but this one will sit and now just get dusty in my liquor cabinet until I get blacked out some night and think that whisky will taste great again....maybe it will taste better with age...

Happy Friday!   Something nice and hot for me starting in just a few minutes.   My brilliant other half moved our annual holiday party up the schedule by a week, so I have to clean the house and start decorating and wrapping this weekend so I don't have to do it next week.

Don't mean to complain.  I really love this time of year.  It's just that we have Advent calendars, a birthday, St Nick's day, then the party, then Christmas.   It's just a lot in the next week.

All those events while keeping the house clean and kids fed, and yourself sane. We have the whole day reserved for decorating tomorrow. 

Having kids I now see why my parents were on edge all the time! 

Good luck!

Right?   On the heels of Thanksgiving and being out of town for a tournament last week on top of it.   

Sanity is overrated.  

Good luck to you as well!

Why a list?   Just grab what's at hand first and get started.  You sound like you don't need anything more to do!
