The view from our patio of our Santa Rita Mountains that are rarely snow covered as we have cocktails looking through our double sliding glass door in the great room. Base of the mountains is 4000 ft....snow line just below that.... Cloud covered peak is 9250 ft. Our patio 3000 ft...

Afternoon cocktails! I'm curious, Phil, what's your go-to Scotch? I prefer the heavily peated Islay single malts.

Your truck look great! Are those Fox 2.5 coilovers? If so, can you give us your thoughts on how it rides both on the street as well as off road? There is very little info available about that setup.

Love, the bike! I had a friend who rode Husqvarnas. We then both switched to KTM 300 MXC's. This was back in the mid 90's though when we raced in Baja.

Hi Tony,

Go to Scotch is Glen Levitt 12. Did try a Costco Blend and was okay as they were out of Glen when we were up in Tucson. The 15 is much smoother but at $99 a bottle a bit expensive for my less than refined palate. Did try a heavilly peated BenRiach and found it interesting and enjoyable on occasion but not a daily go to... Try to keep a bottle of Ben on hand for special occasions. Covid has put a damper on my liquor cabinet...

Do I see a coal unit train on the right?? If so, I worked on those many, many moons ago.

I don't know much about chu chus, but there are tracks to the right. In Grand Junction we get lots of coal trains.

When I was a young man I had the opportunity to meet a worldly woman who taught me many things, one of which was an appreciation for Scotch. At the time it was not a "trendy" drink but as the years went by and I refined my tastes I tended to lean toward the singles. They weren't as popular as now and a lot of Spey whiskeys were the only ones you could get. As weird as it sounds, I have grown to like a glass that smells like iodine and old band-aids. More peat = more better. My go-to is Ardbeg 10 year.
