    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    Thanks Bob I used to live around the corner from Jacob's liquor on Rock Road, so I didn't go out West much. I went over to Goebel a few times. I think they have a smaller place within walking distance from the old house, but I was never sure who owned it. Its on Woodlawn North of K-96. I...

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    Hi James I checked the Cellar in Norman, it's an old supermarket I think. No Herbsaint or Peychaud's bitters. I'll check Jacob's in Wichita next month. I cleaned out a Zing Zang bottle to serve as a place to put the simple syrup. Thanks Miike

    Tractor use on farms in the US during WW2?

    Hi When my grandfather quit farming in 1964 in Kentucky, he sold his two mules. He didn't own a tractor, just two cars and a lawn mower. He mainly had cattle, but did have some wheat and corn. Later

    felt,straw,and,palm leaf hats

    Hi Jaxonbilt hats refers to the Sun Body / Palm Leaf hats as horse trough hats. You dunk them in the horse trough ever few hours to keep them cool. It works well. I'd buy one for a yard work hat, I already have one for that though. If you wet them at least every few months, they'll last a...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi It's been a slow month booze wise, but I have had a few Kraken and Cokes. Kraken is named after the huge legendary sea monsters. Its an inexpensive (o.k. Cheap) dark rum. Goes great with Coke and it IS warmer now. I haven't switched from the Scotch / Irish / Bourbon to summer Gins yet...

    Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

    Hi Kansas used to have yearly inspections. I took a 1978 Plymouth into the inspection place in 1983, I left Illinois with a brand new brake job. I took my car to a tire store to get it inspected. They said I needed a brake job for $380.00, I said no, they said I couldn't have my car back...

    From Central Europe to Florida - What hat to take

    Hi If I was going from a cool or temperate climate to Florida on vacation. I would tend to buy a hat when I get to Florida, or have it sent to Florida to pick up when I get there. In my opinion, straw / Panama / Sun Body type hats are EASY to destroy while a fur felt has is difficult to...

    New (I mean, really new) block!

    Hi Replicating a hat block in wood in a jig setup for replicating an aerospace part in Titanium should be doable. You might be able to purchase a CNC programmed jig in the Seattle area. 3D scan the old blocks, and program the jig. I bet somewhere, someone is already doing this, but not...

    The Great Beer Thread

    Organic Penicillin?? I used to brew my own beer, I managed to let 4 Scotch Ales age a whole year in the bottle, they were a LOT smoother, and had a more mellow flavor. Later

    Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

    50 lobster traps aren't as heavy as a truck load of hay bales or a truck load of gravel though is what I was getting at though. I agree with the rest. Yearly inspections are a pain, in many states because it's done at a dealership or mechanic's shop who use it to drum up business. Don't...

    Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

    Hi One of the 4H parents had a Cadillac Pick up truck. Personally that's blasphemy. Pick up trucks shouldn't even be made with carpeting on the floor, it just holds the pig crap smell in the truck. Fortunately, a lot of the bulky stuff hauled in pickups isn't that heavy and a light duty...

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    Hi James If you remember, I HATE Vermouth. What does Absinthe taste like? What about Herbsaint? I'd like to try a Sazerac cocktail, but I'm not sure anyone outside of New Orleans or at least Louisiana will know how to make one or have the proper ingredients. I'd also like to have an idea...

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    Hi If you plan on mixing your Rye Whiskey, then Old Overholdt is the one to buy. It's VERY inexpensive and it doesn't have any overwhelming flavors, it's just a basic rye whiskey. It's fine with a little ice water, but not great. I guess I SHOULD by a Jim Beam on the rocks at a bar, no sense...

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    Hi Ummmm. search this thread with the term Beam and see what you find. Personally, I haven't tried it, but Its not likely to overpower Ginger ale with it's flavor. It may also be o.k. with some maraschino cherries, orange bitters, and a bit of ice water. I wouldn't try it straight until...

    Any Tips on safari outfit?

    Hi I haven't actually been to Africa, but when Old Sarge says a Zebra hat band, I'm pretty sure he means a REAL one, preferably one that you shot. According to several Safari writers, the fake Leopard one is especially frowned upon. Sarge can you comment further?? Most of the Akubra hats...
