    OK...so how do you " mellow out " ?

    OK...you have made your point on tPF, got in some really good zingers on the other guys, and now it is time to relax.

    I am just curious how you do it.

    I, of course, will start.

    If it is daytime, I take a .22 rifle and go out back and plink. Plinking is popping away at random targets I set up on my wall. very relaxing.

    If I can't go outside, I generally make a hot cup of GROG and relax with a book or just my thoughts. TV is not relaxing at all in any way for me. The GROG recipe I have dates from 1725 and is yummy. 1 part dark rum, 3 parts dark brown sugar, squeeze of lime, sprinkle of cinnamon and hot water. It is dark, sweet, and relaxing.

    So how do YOU relax after a hard day's fighting on the internet ?

    I will work until midnight then fall fast asleep.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    I like to ride around on the four wheeler and swap out the memory cards on the trail cams. I might take a couple of beers with me and chill out at my favorite spot up on a hill.

    I also like to mow grass, believe it or not. Throw the earbuds in, and earmuffs on top of that, and a good audiobook or podcast, and away I go. I keep a few acres mowed.

    A little over a year ago it would simply have been workout and then go down to the hotel bar and grab dinner and a beer. That was all I would usually have time to do.
    Now when I get to abandoned the emails and phone for the day, I head outside to get any sunshine that I can get. Walk the dog, mow the lawn...

    My return to travel was postponed this week because I had to get shots in one of my eyes, but next week starts my move back to a normal life.

    Plinking with the Benjamins...I try to shoot 2 or 3 from the collection every week. Keeps them in working order.
    Golf three days a week.

    My wife makes a wonderful black cherry shake with a touch of Bailey's Chocolate Cherry...well maybe more than a touch.
