I take pictures, make sawdust, and am an unapologetic feminist, LGBTQ+ and BLM ally, and like sharing whisky with friends.
Playin’ ball with the best guy, but he needs a lil break.

I have been so sick the last several days, I don’t even want a hot toddy as medicine. Ugh.

Whisky nerd time!

Most whisky comes in 750ml bottles. That's 25.36oz.

A standard dram is 1.5oz.

So that’s 16.9 standard glasses of whisky. (Nice!)

So even if you pour perfectly, which you don't, you end up with a little extra as you get to the bottom of any given bottle.

Dear Upright of the Past:

Thank you for filling your car with bottled water for those times you might be a dumbass and forget your good bottle. You saved my life again today.

Love,

Walking the dog at the high school at 7pm. Saw a high school boy wearing a “virginity rocks” sweatshirt. Incorrect.

One major step closer to recording some video! Graphics tomorrow. #whisky #whiskey #scotch #irishwhiskey #bouron

Bulliet single malt #whiskey is rad. According to Bulliet, it’s made in the style #bourbon is made. It doesn’t taste like bourbon to me, though it’s got a lot of flavors you might say when describing bourbon. It also has a rye-like spiciness, but has no rye. It’s unusual yet familiar. Recommended!

I don’t wanna brag or anything, but I’m drinking beer, celebrating a friend’s album release, listening to and photographing live metal and burlesque, and I’m with friends. Life’s hard, but also good. #metalsky

I’m not swearing it off or anything, but I’m tired of taking #bourbon seriously. I think it’s the fast food of #whisky. Sweet, simple, safe, easy, and the expensive stuff just is not significantly better than the cheap stuff. If there’s a show-stopping bourbon out there, I sure haven’t found it.

No photo, but tonight was a Maker’s 46 kind of night. Polished off a bottle of it, pouring the last half dram into my ∞ bottle, which is now nearly full. I’m excited and a little scared to try that.

I just restored my headlights using the Sylvania headlight kit and it is a miracle product.

I’ve been married to this wonderful and wonderfully challenging woman for 19 years today. To celebrate, we did a wonderful and wonderfully challenging #backpacking trip. It was perfect. Relaxing, resetting, glorious. I look forward to doing it again next year.

I get to enjoy some 80s Black Sabbath and a pretty damp short hike with my best boy before it start raining in earnest. Both are hitting the spot despite having left my coffee at home.

I’m not normal. I’m exquisite!

If I had a favorite #whisky, which I don’t it would be Highland Park 12, which it’s not.

Everyone thinks they have the best dog. I think they’re right.

Did a big #scotch #whisky tasting last night with friend Dave. The lineup: Aberlour 12, The Dalmore 12, GlenDronach 12, Dalwhinnie 15, Glenfarclas 12, and Benromach triple distilled.

We finished off with Highland Park cask strength! What a treat THAT was!

My best boy did not get his morning hike due to my scheduling, so he got an early afternoon hike instead. I was slow AF, but he didn’t seem to mind.
March 7, 2025 at 11:15 PM
Window decal, maybe. I like this one.
March 7, 2025 at 10:50 PM
Spending a little time with The Dalmore 12 tonight. It has been one hell of a day, and I’m glad to have something as rich, complex, and friendly as this bad boy by my side tonight.

Today’s been a good day, but I’ve had to have my attention at like 85%+ and I’m ready for day drinking.

I feel that Macallan 12 is good. Very good. But not as good as the price suggests.

Enjoying the absolute hell out of Dream Theater’s 2003 anomalously heavy as hell album Train of Thought today. Every time I listen to this one (frequently) it’s after forgetting how much I like it. #metalsky

A gloriously good version of Old Glory by @flagsforgood.com arrived today. It went straight onto the toolbox. Outstanding.
March 5, 2025 at 10:35 PM
It’s a rainy day, and no handyman jobs today, so I spent the morning labeling my toolbox drawers. I sure am glad I got my #cricut
