It doesn't typically rain much in Florida in January.

Mrs Flex is talking about it. I might.

Based on past attempts her willpower is much better than mine.

Someone I work with tried it for November and lasted one week. LOL.

If I do, it'll start January 4th and I'll take a break each weekend.

That's because the dumbass tried to go dry at the start of the holiday season. I've seen some stupid shit in my lifetime (a lot of it here and over there), but damn, that was stupid.

BTW, I refuse to go dry for sanity reasons.

I don't drink much, so for me to not drink in January is really not a stretch.

Ice fishing. Snowshoeing. Semi annual clean every gun in inventory whether they got fired or not. Sort all that damn brass in the 5 gallon buckets. Reload for next year. Sight in all the new scopes accumulated this season. New line on all the rods. Organize all 3 tackle boxes and edit contents. Finally chase the last rotten trim board over the front porch. Renovate the main bathroom with finishes matching the one we did last year. Let the wife convince me it really is time to scrape the popcorn off the last 2 rooms and paint.
Failing all that, continue to try and mx the "perfect" cocktail, then practice until I can do it blindfolded.

I’m not a teetotaler, but I haven’t had a drink since last January. I guess I just don’t have the taste for it, and I have to be in the mood. Last drink I had was when I was in Vegas.
