One enterprising friend figured out how to get draft beer back into the bladder using a couple of cheap hardware store parts. It lasted two days (OK, maybe a day and a half) and was quite good,even at the end. I described it in a post a couple weeks back.DaveOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552131869044539704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18086284.post-42981718183778293472008-07-13T20:32:00.000-04:002008-07-13T20:32:00.000-04:00Nick - Malt whisky in a box...

They also come in one litre sizes which is noticebly bigger than a bottle! I wonder when they will produce these with malt whiskies?<BR/><BR/>I like your blog by the way.<BR/><BR/>All the best, NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18086284.post-84720021696278409262008-07-10T23:07:00.000-04:002008-07-10T23:07:00.000-04:00I took at couple of...uh...boxxles? of a similar d...I took at couple of...uh...boxxles? of a similar design to the Hudson River Greenland Festival. The ones they sell at the local liquor store are called "Bandits" - perfect size, you can buy a couple & toss 'em in your bag & it's safe to forget they're there.<BR/><BR/>There are still a few people who recalled my first attempt at bringing a nice bottle of wine to the "Hergif" (as people are calling it), although it was several years ago. I think it was the 2nd one, then there was a hiatus for a couple of years. I'd gotten one of those larger bottles of some reasonable plonk. <BR/><BR/>A guy who'd started keeping his boat at the barge not too long before that was giving me and my boat a ride up. We met at Pier 63; we loaded our boats, then I decided to pack a couple of pieces of gear in my bag, which I'd put in the back of his truck. Perhaps a little twitterpated from proximity...I totally forgot about the bottle in the bag & pretty much dropped it on the asphalt. A muffled but audible crunch reminded me of that which had slipped my mind.<BR/><BR/>The rest of the weekend I was joking about handing around my fleece vest for people to suck on. That's where all the wine I'd brought to share ended up. <BR/><BR/>Do I know how to impress a guy, or what? Oops, I forgot to mention I had a pretty bad crush on the guy. Ended up being a disaster, that particular crush...maybe breaking that bottle of wine (which I'd brought with an eye to share with everyone but perhaps especially with him) was an omen!<BR/><BR/>:Dbonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.com
