RE: Weekend-engagement week 16: How does yours look?

My typical work week looks just like this! 😂 I’m drinking water from a beer bottle and I’m waiting for the weekend!

Our house is very close to the beach. We usually watch the sun with my husband on weekends. Of course after the housework is over! 😝

Sort:  

That's a pretty fancy looking water bottle there. And a glorious looking place to watch the sun! That's a pretty good weekend occupation in my book.

My house is right on the beach. The problem being that the ocean is 300km away 😂

Everyone who sees my bottle wants to drink beer! :D One day my boss asked if this beer bottle! :D The sunrise and the sunset fascinate me :)

300 km? Really! :D

I particularly love the sun rise. I see it most days.

I live in a really sandy inland desert. San Diego and the Pacific are about 300 Km straight west. I get there a couple of times a year. Beautiful place.

I can only imagine that feeling of having a house close to the beach. The cool breeze is always heavenly.

I have worked on elevators in buildings close to the beach. I always enjoy the natural Air conditional I feel there.

I love the smell of the sea that comes with the breezes! :)

Ah the Grolsch beer bottle, I love those. I had a few of them for awhile. I recently bought a clear glass water bottle with the grolsch style pop top. It was rather iffy driving with a beer bottle in Alaska so I was glad to find a replacement.

Actually it's also hard to drink water at work with a beer bottle! All eyes on me! :D

I used to drink water out of an old vodka bottle that I really liked the shape of 😂

For awhile I really enjoyed the shock value from my neighbors and passers-by and they would see me constantly slugging it on the porch. It eventually lead to people taking it more seriously than I thought, though, and I began being targeted by local police. We lived on a street with a big break-in problem so naturally people started questioning the young-20s punk drinking "vodka" all the time.

In hindsight I guess it wasn't the smartest. But fun while it lasted!

Hahahaha! This is really a great story! It made me smile. I guess we do crazy things when we're young, right? :)

Hahahah still trying to stop doing crazy things 😂 Getting better at it!

Gold!

I'm not much of a drinker...Social drinker is how I'd describe myself I guess, in the main...Although, I can see myself slugging water from a gin, vodka or tequila bottle at work for the sheer fun-factor. Now you've gone and done it...You're a bad influence on me! ✅

You're a bad influence on me

Not the first time I've heard that 😂 good for you on not drinking so much. I've been trying to cut down. I spent a few too many years partying through my mental problems and some habits have become tough to pull out of. But I'm getting there!

Little by little mate, you'll get there for sure. :)

That's great, it sounds like something I would've done when I lived in the city lol

Don't need to see anything more than your profile picture to follow you. Always(well it's only happened once before) stoked to find fellow skaters who are interested in blockchain projects

Hell yeah dude! Plus you’re pretty much a neighbor! What part of Vermont are you at? We’re in northern mass!

I spent a lot of time up in Newport where my grandfather lived for a number of years. Completely fell in love with Jay for snowboarding in the winter.

There’s an awesome group of skaters on here, started by @knowhow92 the community is called @skatehive and we could always use another skater, past or present!

There's a skate hive community!? No shit!! Back a few years ago on Steemit I never managed to find a single person into skating and snowboarding. Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough.

That's wild! I haven't been to Jay in a lifetime. I am in the Sugarbush area. You still come up to Vermont at all to ride? I frequently visit friends in Mass but haven't been as much lately due to obvious reasons.

I forget how I stumbled on it but I found @knowhow92 about a year and some months ago on Steem and the guys such a solid community leader. He’s busy doing some moving stuff right now but there’s about 8 or so people that consistently post skate content so it’s badass! I haven’t skated myself in about 4 years since having a kid but I’m hoping to pull the thing out of my closet next year! I have skated back from a couple places but that’s just riding, was pretty pumped that I could still kick flip though! I almost landed a 360 flip but didn’t want to push my luck lol.

I’ve been to sugar bush once a long time ago but since my grandfather lived near jay that’s all I really would go to for Vermont. Hoping I’m a couple years to explore the other mountains like smugglers and others. I went to mount snow once but it was a big group of us and was kind of intimidating it was so big lol.

Took one of my all time favorite pictures at jay, from the gondola almost at the top. Jay cloud is a real thing for sure!

Damn!!! That photo is awesome.

I headed over to check out @knowhow92 and gave him a follow after poking around a little. I'm super happy there's a skate community on here! I can't wait to look into it more tomorrow.

4 years no skate and you still got your kickflips; that's impressive! I'm a pretty trash skater, as much as I love it, and I've only "landed" a handful of tre's in my life. Usually sideways and barely moving. Snowboarding has always come much easier to me. And I love riding park. That's why sugarbush appeals to me so much; the park. I grew up in Burlington and have moved all over but just recently I kinda decided I loved the east coast and settled on Sugarbush. I really want to go to Jay though. I've become spoiled(and broke) and have been so fucking hesitant when it comes to actually buying a ticket somewhere.

Congrats on the kid!! That's awesome. Definitely a good reason not to skate for a bit

Authentic, we all look forward to our weekends, and when it comes we have to enjoy it.

what a view we have, where is it?

I live in Turkey. This view was taken in the Bostanlı district of Izmir.

Now is the weekend. Is there beer in the water bottles?

We used to walk around at the fairs, malls & beach with soda cans full of beer. Younger crazy days.

Hahha! Unfortunately I won't be able to drink beer for a while. I keep drinking water! :D

This does not surprise me in the least...It's done here also.

This reminds me of the pictures I have seen of someone using an old Hershey's syrup bottle as a water bottle and chugging it at a gym. The looks on the faces behind them were pretty great.

I'm glad I'm not alone! :D

Haha, that'd be hilarious!

Water from a beer bottle...Is that wishful thinking...Kind of simulating drinking beer from it whilst at work? Lol.

Whatever gets you through the day is legit I reckon, so well done!

Thanks for sharing a little image of your working week and your weekend!

!ENGAGE 25

I have on occasion repurposed a beer bottle to drink down some water when the beer bottles looked cleaner than anything available in the cabinets lol. My way of urban survivalism!

Haha, urban survivalism...I like it. One has to adapt and overcome right?

Absolutely, have to take what you learn from Bear Grylls and apply it whether in the bush or in a sketchy apartment in Philly!

Lol, exactly!

I shared it with great pleasure. You're welcome! :) Only water in a beer bottle! Sometimes I want it to be beer! :D

Beers for the weekend, water during the week.

I'll share my weekend beer-themed post soon! :)

Thank you for your engagement on this post, you have recieved ENGAGE tokens.

Love the water bottle and the sunset!

Thanks!

Now that's a damn good sunset, I'm hoping to be that close to the beach someday!

Yes, it is. :) Thank you. I hope one day you'll be close to the beach too!
