A bit of photoshop tickery I just learned... Loving the result.

Just picked up a Nikon mirrorless and happy to report it is pretty amazing. First photo I took with it. Look forward to many more!

I'd take Wellers, EHT or Eagle Rare any day over the Blanton's - and all of them are cheaper... I did get a bottle of Blanton's while there - and the little 1 oz. mini Blanton's bottles (that were on sale) so that I could split them the Blanton's up with some friends. All were thrilled to...

I had a bottle of the Blanton's Gold - and it was no doubt a bit better than Blanton's. But the price versus what it was - and the supposed scarcity - does not really seem to me to be worth the $$$ or hype. A great bottle of bourbon for the $70/80ish range - but $150? 🤔 I've had a lot of...

You should have seen the line at the Buffalo Trace distillery when people were given the chance to purchase one bottle of Blanton's (and only one bottle every 90 days). It was CRAZY. Thought they were giving away free Lamborghini's! 🤣

Had a blast visiting BT distillery. Had to visit 4 times this weekend to build out collection! And the lines waiting for Blanton's was SICK!!!

ER has its place, but I am mystified why it is so allocated. And I sure as hell will not pay over MSRP for it. That's insane. But I would love to get my hands on EHT Rye - that is one of my absolute favorite rye whisky's. I hate paying over MSRP, but there's no getting around that. I just...

Love the Wild Turkey Rare Breed - very easy to find and a great, smooth, easy to drink sipping whiskey

Photos from this past weekends trip to Louisville, KY. Enjoyed visiting Whiskey Thieves and Buffalo Trace distilleries: Mural on the side of one of Buffalo Trace's buildings. Buffalo Trace's bottom floor of "Warehouse C" (where all of the best BT product it aged). These barrels are...

It's been butterfly heaven around the casa these last few days...

Glad to hear he's doing well enough to Google the cigars he's been sent! Thanks for the update.

I bought a generator a few years back because we had lost power for nearly a week. Had to drive a couple hours away to pick it up (all the generators in my area were sold out immediately). It's the best investment I've ever made - because now that I own one, we no longer have power outages...

Why? 😳

A committee of Turkey Vultures!

Down the street grabbed some great shots of the Egret that hangs around.

I had to seek this one out! It's a song sparrow and now I see where it got its name. I heard a very cool singing bird nearby and had to hunt around to grab a photo. And here he/she is!

Some of my more recent finds in my area... Purple Martins (Male and Female) Kingbird Red-Belly Woodpecker Gray Catbird Tree Swallow Great Blue Heron European Goldfinch

Yeah - the damn House Sparrows around us keep the Eastern Bluebirds and Indigo Buntings well away from our feeders... 😡😡 With that structure you have there they are sitting in, those would be some way cool photos with a good lens and camera sensor!

Picked up another bottle of EH Taylor, a bottle of Eagle Rare and a "Jewel Barrel Select" smaller bottle of Eagle Rare (a special "Jewel Single Barrel Select"). Seems that there are regular BT shipments coming to our local grocery store now! Glad I can finally avoid the gray market with some...
