Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

My father had my brothers and I read the book Paradise Lost as kids. As you would expect any English Professor to do, he had us memorize, reflect meaning and discuss the book (s). The good is I can recall parts of the book. Cheers to my father who passed 2 years ago EOM November. No mourning, just reflection tonight.
You are a better man than me, Eric. When I tried to read it I think I barely got thru the first book; aren't there 10-11 books? My attention span was spent & I was drawn in other but similar directions, I think. But I can see where the theme of Paradise Lost still carries thru & is an influence on many artistic people to this day.

Your father has left you & your brothers with something you will remember for as long as you live. Enjoy those memories!

Been enjoying the nice fall weather today in a Worth - Walden 15X.

Awamori is an Okinawan spirit which is often cheap and nasty. This one, however was given to us by some of the locals we got to know when we were there. It’s a class or five above your ordinary Awamori. My Brummel’s Homburg courtesy of Stefan is a class above most of my hats, so seemed a good match.

My dad was in the Pacific theater & on Okinawa in WWII & he used to talk about cheap Awamori. Drafted at 18, it was a right of passage for many American boys away from home for the first time.

Love the glass & the bottle. Reminds me of the old American Redneck joke:

You know why Jack Daniels Old No. 7 & Jim Beam come in square bottles?

So the empties won't roll around on the floor of your truck.

Shooting some Rebel Yell Bourbon from a stainless steel shot glass from a project Topping Out party long ago.
Enjoy your Friday night!

Bourbon from the steel shot glass sounds appealing. Skoal!

Happy trip.

Here I'm singin' happy birthday
Better think about the about the wish I make
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Everyday's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun.

(Buffet and McBride)

Tonight I am sipping a Surley Furious IPA whilst doing a walkabout.

Happy Birthday Dale! I have made a few toasts tonight already to the continued success & good fortune on your journey!


Happy birthday brother! Nice hat, really nice pic.

Happy Birthday, Cuz.

Thanks for the well wishes, guys. I'm up early loading the fishing poles and liquor into the truck and I'm heading for the hills to mark the occasion. I need a few days off the grid to recalibrate.
