I think you own a liquor store Mike you have a new bottle of good stuff for everyday of the week.
Up to 75 now.
Think I have about 5 bottles of good stuff so far. Been looking at a bottle of Italian whiskey at the local liquor store but is $155 bucks and I need to get a picture of it and send to you for your approval. I don't want to spend that much on a bottle if it is not worth it but I am at the point of I can't resist it. You know I'm Italian and hopping we make a damn good whiskey.

A quite warm and humid evening here with 3 more days of nasty heat and humidity to come. I was thinking today about the days when I was a kid spending Summers on Lake Thompson in Maine at my parent’s cabin on the lake. So I created this image from my memories. If you have seen the movie “On Golden Pond”, it was very much like that.
I am just hanging out on the deck tonight grilling some food and having some cold beer in the sultry air. Cheers!

My only day off was Sunday when the 'state store' is closed. Too hot to do much today, so decided to go shopping. My Fathers day gift instruction were to get something I normally wouldn't, so... I did get a Jefferson, which I likely would have tried soon anyway. In addition I brought home a Scotch and a rye... Not even gonna sniff ‘em yet. Would be too tempting on a work day. 
Looks like fun there. I need to get a Woodford Rye. I have a bourbon and the double oaked bottle. I have never tried the Jefferson's and the Glen 12 is always a good one.My only day off was Sunday when the 'state store' is closed. Too hot to do much today, so decided to go shopping.

I agree with TMM the Glen 12 is very reliable and just super smooth. I like your other two choices as well. No dogs in that pack!

Decided to break open the rye first. Was thinking I should have let it sit and remembering you guys mentioning the 'neck pour'. But the Woodford bottle really has no neck! So why wait? 
I'm really not sure I ever tried rye straight. I REALLY like this. I can taste the 'edge' I have heard others describe from the rye. Different than the bite of just a high alcohol level. But this is smooth. Not going to try identifying flavors, but very tasty IMHO. Definitely something I can enjoy sipping neat.

Ted and I went on a search and rescue mission. I am more excited about the box. 
Starting to get some fun shooters too.

Good evening folks, it’s a nice cool 76* here now that the rains have moved off and it’s drying out with the dew point at 61*. Tomorrow looks to be a really nice day and Sunday too.
I’ve been quite busy with getting the new companies up and running and the business contracts have been coming in almost faster than we can keep up with them. We have been absolutely swamped with opportunities!
Now it’s time for the team and I to take a well earned break and enjoy a long weekend with our respective families and friends. I am spending this fine evening grilling some food out on the deck with my wife and daughter. Cold beer in hand for me of course!
Cheers all, I hope you all have a great Fourth of July weekend!

Happy 4th all and remember what freedom is, or was just depends on how you define it in today's terms.

The fireworks began early here this weekend.
We had some strong thunderstorms on Saturday and the neighbors house 3 doors down was struck by lightning. It hit the top corner of his house where the flood light is mounted. Blew out half his electrical system and fragged most of the appliances including TV, computer, modem, fridge and alarm system. Thankfully, the AC system is still operational.
The fire department was there for 2 hours making sure there wasn’t a fire smoldering in the walls or attic. This evening, he and his wife are here enjoying some grilled food and cold adult beverages...and some TV time too.
He got lucky, I told him that he needs to buy a lotto ticket!

No light beer here...Trying something from a nearby brewer _Aldus. Revival -Bourbon barrel aged Red Rye Ale. Very tasty, a bit sweet. Only 8%ABV, so not as potent as most Imp stouts, but so much flavor…. A great sipper. Not something to wash your sandwich down with.

I am just now catching up, not sure why, but I did not get any alerts this thread was being posted on. Oh well. It has been quite hot up here, ok not compared to most but for us 90 is hot! So if your Gatorade freezes when you toss it in the freezer you know ya did not add enough vodka!
