I see that it’s Already Friday 6 December… So time for getting things started, I’d say.

Perth, Australia: Party time, Christmas drinks and dinner is on from 6pm Friday 6th December.
We are lucky enough to have spectacular views, a central location, free parking, and just $20/head for steak and salad. Beer and wine for sale. Families welcome. No speeches. If you’d like to come, I’d love to see you there Friday week from 6pm — email me to find out where this quiet, brilliant, private venue is.

Unfortunately, I’m driver for the spouse for the next month. She has “foot in boot” device and can’t drive with it until done, in a month. So I’m stuck at home. But I can still participate “virtually” ;-)
If anyone wants to coordinate a place, feel free to put up ideas here, or at Jo’s.
Since it’s already Friday “somewhere”, I think I’ll get things started now… I just need to find that bottle… I think I have enough for 24 hours… IF I can manage it…

Musings from the Chiefio 
Aguardiente!
Had to look that one up! Firewater eh? Mikey Likey ;-)

Very good friend of mine is Venezuelan who married a Colombian. So I learned about it from him.
More here (yes, I know but shouldn’t need tampering)

The First Fleet to Australia called at Rio to re-provision. Apparently Captain Phillip’s log has unflattering mention of aguadente
Will drink a toast to distant skeptics tonight! Group meeting in KL Malaysia too.
Must do this more often,
Cheers to Cheifio!
And a big cheer right back at ya!
Sadly, it looks like I’m going to poop out at about 3 A.M. Not the same party animal I once was, I guess… then again, it is a respectable effort!
Besides, it is still Friday here for another 21 hours! Plenty of time for a snooze and picking it up again later ;-)
Has anyone else noticed that climate skeptics are smarter and better looking than warmistas?
Well Naomi Seibt is a definite improvement over Theta Grunberg. Did the latter use the proffered donkey, and if so was it taken home afterwards in a large Diesel horse-box?
@Jim2: Yes!
Especially as I’m exploiting vodka ATM :-)
HEY it is still 6 December here!
On the “it’s 6 pm somewhere” principle it is now 1:38 pm in Hawaii so there is a bit of party time left
A friend some years ago observed that “I can still party like we used to but I can’t recover like we used to”
