Stay Quenched My Friends

Yesterday I lost my water bottle.

Little waterbottle how I wonder where you are.  Maybe you ran off to bigger and better things?  Maybe you went to chase after your dreams?

I’ll never know…

I’m not sure where it went.  I had it in the morning when I got to work.  I drank out of it.   It was on my desk… and then… it just vanished?  I have no idea where it went!

It’s ok, It served me well for the past 3 years.  The old bottle was the classic Klean Kanteen 27oz bottle.

I had the classic cap without the little drinky spout.  Just a plain old bottle to hold water in and sip throughout the day.  I like Klean Kanteen bottles, because I just think it’s an all around thumbs up company and the bottle is very high quality.  As long as it doesn’t run away like mine did… this thing will last FOREVER.  So it’s a pretty serious bottle for those who are interested in really getting into the whole having a serious pro level water bottle.

This thing is too legit to quit.  If you get what I’m saying… and I think you do.

Well, I decided it wasn’t worth the time and effort to try and retrace my steps and figure out where it had gone (update: I did it anyways… and still found nothing).  So I headed over to REI to replace the bottle with the same one.  When I got to the water bottle section I found that they now have a new Bigmouth Widemouth version of the same bottle I had.

I decided what the heck, I’ll try out the widemouth one.  So I bought it.

In widemouth they only have the brushed metal look.  Which is ok with me because I like brushed metal… I think brushed metal always looks good.  That stainless steel look…

In my future house and future kitchen I want 3 looks…

Look one: Stainless Steel/brushed metal

Look two: treated wood

Look three: Granite

 

I like this one…

 

I like this one a little more…

I like this one the most…

 

OK, so… when I say MY future kitchen… that’s probably only gonna happen in my head… cuz let’s be honest… am I really going to have any say in what kitchen I want in my future house?  I like to think I will… but really, it’s all up to the lady of the house.  Guys, don’t kid yourself, you know the girl always gets what she wants eventually.  And that’s the way it should be!  At least I think that’s how it should be.  What’s that saying?  Happy wife = Happy life.

 

Anywho back to the bottle…

So what are the benefits of the widemouth?  Well, for one it can fit ice cubes in much easier.  So this coming summer I’ll be able to throw some ice cubes in to keep the water nice and chilled inside.  Another advantage is that it’s easier to clean.  The narrow bottle actually requires a bottle brush to get inside and clean it out.  This one can fit just the regular dishwand thingy that I use for the other dishes.  And lastly the top takes less twisty turn around times to take off.  So I can get my drink on quicker!

Well there ya have it.  So if you see my old bottle thumbin along the side of the road.  Feel free to give it a ride!

Stay thirsty my friends or in this case, stay quenched!
