Went in today and cleared out my office.  Turned in my badge and keys.  I guess it is official.  I’m retired.

When I got home I put on a big pot of vegetable beef soup dinner.  Turned out to be an excellent rendition.

Now, time to sit back with a 1792 BiB and figure out what is next in my life.

Cheers all!
 

Cheers to retirement!

Congrats!  I retired a couple of years ago and if I had known I was going to enjoy it this much I would have skipped work and gone straight to retirement.

Tonight was a HHBSBIB night (Heaven Hill Bottom Shelf Bottled In Bond).  Started with the JTS Brown BIB, followed that with HH BIB and finished up with EW BIB.  They may be bottom shelf in the stores but not in my house.

JTS Brown BIB is definitely a gem.

When I have a pour, I'll usually have something different from night to night, or sometimes different pours in the same night. I've been sticking with this one since I opened it. Yessir, I'm sure glad I bought another one.  

 

Biba! Joe

Who are you and what have you done with Joe?

Been away for a bit,  Very busy.  Put up a gazebo on our RV site.  Got it done in 8 hours but there were 6 of us including a Master Carpenter.  This is a Yardistry product from Costco.  Very happy with it. Surprisingly Sturdy.  Finally got DirecTV out to hook up my outside TV so I watched the race this weekend.

 

Having a bit of Willet Pot Still tonight as we are back home from the RV for a few days.

 

 

 

 

THANKS!!  For about 20 years, I've been sketching, designing, thinking, planning, cogitating, ruminating, etc., over adding a 10ft wide by 20 ft long roof over a pontoon boat slip in an existing dock.   I almost bought a canvas/plastic/greenhouse-style 1/2 inch aluminum tubular cover.  As an alternative to the tubular-plastic sheet roof, THIS might work.  Check back in five years to see if I've arisen from thishere chair to decide whether to DO something.

 

ON THREAD -OGD BIB, of course.  Why else I be posting about something know only a little about.  Why that emogi?  I dunno.  It was under the cursor when I hit ENTER.

Six ounces into OGD BIB (big surprise!) while watching "Morse" on PBS which we've never watched before, and somebody wants me to HOLD something??  I don't even CARE who did the murders let alone WHO did them.  BUT, if I ever see an OF SiB in the wild, I shall grab it and wrestle it to the ground or the shopping cart - whichever is closer.

Congrats!!!           You've finally made it to where you can take this leap!   DON'T WAIT to make a plan for your finances, and especially your time, if these are not yet taken care of.   

You will have more of one than you thought, and less of the other than you thought.     ...And, you might be surprised when you find which is which.              ENJOY!!!!

Off thread - THANK YOU.  Two 10X10 Yardistry Pavilion kits would work.  Those materials would be marginally more expensive than PT yellow pine framing, generic roof trusses, and roofing, and the finished product would look a lot better.  We know some excellent contractors down here who are sort of looking for work right now since house building has slowed down.  Factor in the savings for design (not needed for the kits), prep work (hole drilling, cutting, picking hardware, delivery, etc.), and this would be competitive.  Again, THANKS.  If wife says OK, I'll contact Yardistry re: abutting two 10X10s.  They may have a custom fix for the joint, like how to overlap the roof slabs. Frank aka GEETEN knows what and where I talking about.

 

On thread.  Yeah, I started early - about fifteen minutes ago with highly watered OGD BIB.  T'storms rolling through, but we got up early and did all the outside work (except the veggie picking which is why I got to start (edit - insert "sipping" here) early - she outside picking) before they got here.  First drops hit just as I got a tarp tied over the riding mower.  EXCELLENT workday.

I'm not a big 4R fan but that pic makes my mouth water.

[Vosgar]

Uh oh, smokingjoe and me on the same wave length?    I too had some FRYL (my bottles are still yellow, not tan) only I didn't do the frozen thing. Still a favorite while enjoying a cigar, this time an Illusione Rothchildes.

Sorry for the sideways photo but don’t know how to change it on my phone.  Enjoying a Larceny K&L store pick while grilling an 8 week home aged ribeye and some veggies here on a balmy evening in No. Calif.

Well, it's end of my day, anyway.    My office closed for Juneteenth,  so I went for a Pennsy State Store explore for the first time in three months.   Yes,  the King of the Commonwealth has blessed His subjects with the privilege of browsing in a liquor store again!    Came home with a Teeling Single Pot Still,  which is the first Dublin-distilled Teeling product to hit the market.   I like it!

 

Right now, though,  I'm listening to Steve Marcus'  record The Lord's Prayer and sipping an EHTaylor Single Barrel BIB.     That is one weird record,   disjointed and filled with hippie self-indulgence,  but the two tracks with  Herbie Hancock and Miraslov VItous are proto-fusion of the highest order.    

 

 

 

[Not_That_Fancy]

Opened this tonight. Letting it rest at the moment. Excited for the pour of the private pick. 

[Wedelstaedt]

Enjoying a pour of WT Decades, while watching a passing Oklahoma Thunderstorm, with the following rain.

Wild Turkey and an Oklahoma country night, a beautiful way to spend an evening. 

I hope your evening has been as nice as mine. 

 

Cheers
