Sound like free range kopi to me, lol.
So, how close were you to being busted Monday?
How did I know you would ask?
First, you need the back story. The Mrs. and I have been on this lake for 22 years. We have consumed many late night bottles of wine on the lake. It's an 80' vertical rise to the house. 100 steps, or the switchback. So carrying things DOWN is one thing. UP is another. The lake is a glacial "kettle" lake. Very deep. So we sink the bottles. Sure, they are garbage TODAY, but some day they will be "artifacts". They're made of SAND, right? OK, now you'll understand how lucky that habit made me.
Ever see pics of a couple old guys on a boat, with a bunch of young nubiles who insist on shedding bikini's? Here's how that works...
Step 1: Monday, 2pm "Hey buddy, Thinking about going down to the boat this afternoon. Bring Gayla (his fiance's daughter) and tell her she can bring a few of her Campfire friends too. They were nice."
Step 2: Monday, 2:30pm Load 36 splits of inexpensive Spanish Cava (bubblies) in a cooler, cover with ice...
Voila! That easy.
Now the busted. My Girls typically leave on Friday morning for their All Girls holiday. They come back late Tuesday. THIS year, they left THURSDAY morning. I didn't give it much thought.
4 drunk nubiles, and a decent sized wine cellar, does not probably end well if fate is left unto itself. Neighbors, morals... So around 6, I said to my buddy.. "You need to go feed these girls, and get em on their way. Been a RIOT, but, ya know... House party, nah..." So as THEY were pulling away down the driveway, who comes driving in the other way?! You bet. Day early. And there I am standing with a completely empty cooler, smirk on my face and badly in need of a cold shower..
