Attacks against civilian targets in international waters is a violation of international law.

U.S. Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey resigned rather than follow orders to kill people that have not been convicted of a crime.

Trump and Hegseath actions should be prosecuted at The Hauge.

My wife and I are starting to
“shift gears” and working towards retirement and full time RV travel again..

Target launch date is October 2028

We traveled FT 2017-2020 without kids and settled back down during COVID lockdown.

I believe at this point that Trump is trying to sow as much chaos as possible, start as many conflicts as possible so, in a few years he can say,…

“There is too much chaos, too much instability and America is in too many conflicts to hold an election” and demand to stay in power.

I understand that Tesla sales and marketing may want to know why orders are being cancelled;
in my case they may regret putting a text field and asking me why I am cancelling my Cybertruck order.

My whiskey/whisky of the day is Monkey Shoulder blended malt Scotch

I am a total Scotch newbie but, not a whiskey newbie 😉. On the nose, I get 🍏 & 🍎 a slight whisper of smoke. On the palate, malt sweetness, caramel, apple and vanilla. I do enjoy the mouthfeel of this blend of single malts

After much deliberation, these are the Scotches I am starting with in my Scotch Whisky journey.

I have about 5-6 more in my list and those are a tad smokier and peaty.

One bottle that I am certainly glad I have a backup of

Parker’s Heritage Collection 10 year Rye (AKA PHC17 or Parker’s 17)

If you don’t know the story behind PHC, Parker Beam was the head distiller at Heaven Hill and he passed away from ALS, this is the 17th Ann. ed. of his passing.

My Whiskey of the day is Four Roses 135th Anniversary Limited Edition 2023 Release.

Sometimes you just have to break off the fancy glass! This is a fantastic 4R Bourbon. Dusty, barrel char, clove, cherry, sweet and a long finish.

Happy repeal day.

Today I had Littlebook “In Retrospect”, Kentucky Spirit CN-F, Peerless SiB Rye, Bardstown Origin, Russell’s 13

Whiskey and Bourbon is good 😊

My whiskey of the day is Peerless Single Barrel Rye from the distillery.

I will admit I am a bit of a Peerless fan boy. Nearly every bottle I’ve gotten from them from the single barrel collection has been great.

My whiskey of the day is Widow Jane Decadence Bourbon (2023)

I friend gave me a sample of ‘24 version so, doing a side by side. My ‘23 bottle has been open ~ a year, not sure if that is why the Maple Syrup flavor is so strong on the ‘24.

‘24 = More maple syrup
‘23 = More whiskey flavor

My whiskey of the day is Redwood Empire Haystack Needle Rye coming it at 116 proof.

This is a great single barrel high proof rye. Caramel, clove, baking spice and sweetness are the main notes I get.

It is a little less sweet that Sagamore 9 year but, very comparable.

The bottle is gorgeous.

My whiskey of the day is Makers Mark Cask Strength 46 Bourbon.

Oaky, sweet, caramelized sugar. I am a sucker for the higher 110 proof.

I actually really like blending this with Weller Antique 107 1:1. It adds mouthfeel, tones down the oak and gives it a dustiness.

My whiskey of the day is Wild Turkey 12 Year 101 Bourbon

This one is a little harder to get; it is an export only and not on the shelf in the US

This is a great whiskey but, I am a bit of a Wild Turkey fan boy, I like that WT “funk”

Happy Thanksgiving, I am having a little 🦃 a day early, cheers 🥃

My whiskey or the day is Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye.

Do not pass on these bottles, they are delicious.

Food for thought,… if you ever posted anything on Twitter EVER,… Elon Misk owns that forever, until he sells it to someone else,… and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

My whiskey of the day is Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series

I saw a post the other day that someone got one of these for ~30,… that would be a steal for this brown water.

If someone gave me a bottle
of this, I would know they knew their whiskey or listened to someone that did.

My whiskey of the day is Penelope Barrel Select 9 year Barrel Strength 4 grain Bourbon.

Sold my position in Tesla, it was not much but, I was told to vote with your dollars.

Still own one but, no longer supporting Musk.

My whiskey of the day is Four Roses Single Barrel (SiB) Barrel Proof (BP) Tier 4 Recipe OBSV Bourbon.

You can tell how much I love this bottle by the level of it at this point. 😉🥃

This is an absolutely amazing example of what the best of Four Roses can be.

My whiskey of the day is Redwood Empire Rocket Top Straight Rye Whiskey Batch #4 - this whiskey beat Thomas H. Handy earlier this year in blind spirits competition.

Handy is nearly impossible to get & it would cost hundreds of $. I have had it & Candidly, I would rather have this @ ~80
