Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Hurricane Jack]

Nice! If my throat didn’t seem to close up after drinking scotch, I think Lagavulin would be my favorite. I had it a few times where the bar tender smoked the glass over a cedar plank first, and it was delicious.

They used to say one had to acquire a taste for Scotch Whisky...I guess I acquired it the first time I tasted it! For Islays I like Lagavulin more than Ardbeg or Laphoraig. I still like Lagavulin 16 more than 8, but I think 8 is new to take pressure off the availability of 16 so I hold back my 16 for special nights. But any of the Islays are great with a charcoal grilled steak.

I just enjoyed some Gator Bites in a brown roux for a Happy Hour dinner at one of my favorite Cajun bars, wearing the Moore Hat Co Bulldogger. I'm thinking tonight will be a good time to open this second bottle of nutty flavored hemp Chaplin Hills Moonshine I got in June.

I am curious about that hemp shine. It will be interesting to hear your review. I have had hemp ale, and it had a slight peppery taste.

I've already killed the first of two bottles. If you like good strong shine this is pretty good. Nothing artificial, no sweetener. It has a nice nutty flavor & some pepper, with all the burn. Not for kids.

I am working to "fight the urge to remain indoors" this afternoon. Beverage - 4 shots of espresso and some half and half. Cap - Best Dressed Head.

Best, Eric -

Lie to your wife, not to those that know you.

Tough day at our house. After 14 years of sharing life with our Portugese Water Dog, Beatrice or Tris, died comfortable and quiet this morning. I am savoring a bit of coffee and reminiscing about the unconditional love my dog has shared. She helped me to be a better human.

I share with the other dog owners on this thread an older pic of Tris and myself (I am the bald person).

Cheers to Tris and all the dogs who have gone before us all.

So sorry to hear this Eric. I hope that fond memories will replace the pain soon.

Sorry to hear Eric. Been down that road many times. I wish I was the human my dogs think I am.

Eric, so sorry to hear of your loss of Tris. Dogs touch our hearts like no other.

Eric, I am so sorry for your loss. Over the years you have shared the love of your dogs with us as we have with you. There are greater losses, or so I have been told, but few are greater than the loss of a faithful, unquestioning, non-judgmental friend. I grieve with you. I leave to go spend time with my hounds.

With you here as well sir! RIP Tris!

Spied this refrigerator magnet on back of the tap head last night.

Waiting for a couple of buddies from High School (in town for the 40th reunion which I will skip — I like to remember the girls from when they were 18). They’re going to be 30 minutes late so I should have a decent head start. Dobbs Rainbow and a Piney River Black Walnut Wheat.

Not another grass beer?

The walnut gives it a Fall lawn taste.
