Oh darn,............ now I am going to have to go in there and mix me up a margarita so I can do the toast with you guys.

Oh my,........ what a guy has to do sometimes............Just to get along.

Well, you just gotta sacrifice every once in a while I guess,............

Salute!!!..................."for the love of the art"

If I had known, I would have uncorked a trappist Tripple. As it is I'm drinking a Deschutes brewery Jubelale, so ...Bottoms Up, Salute, a votre sante, cheers , here's looking at you kid.
Merry Christmas to all, and double to all engravers.

watch the nicely engraved label when you have the occasion, who am I to doubt about Michael J.

Cheers Frank, I'm from Belgium too.
Some long time ago I worked in a forge (blacksmith) and on St. Elooi we put some white sand and something else I forgot, on the anvil, gave it a big smash with the blacksmith hammer, and this resulted in a small explosion.

We didn't work any more after this ritual, only drinking.
