I’d love to indulge with you but the wife says I’ve had my lifetime quota already. ?
Hi Rick,

Finishing off the evening with a Glen Livet single malt scotch on the rocks tonight.... All in all...a good day!

Hey Phil, I read recently that Pacifico tested super low gluten, so a lot of celiacs (like me) are drinking it. I'm gonna have to get some! Good GF beer is hard to find! Cheers!

Hi TV,

Been drinking Pacifico before it was here in the USA..... Down in Baja....Baja 500 not going well for Ford and end of the day our hospitality host brought out Pacifico after we had ditched the Ford attire. So in civies, this beer tasted wonderful and I declared it to be the unofficial beer of Ford Off Road Racing..... Our wonderful hospitality folks always made sure the end of the day ended with at least two Pacifico... :) End of the race, we did good....won all the stock classes, but Trophy Truck went to Chevy....Arrrrrg.... I resolved we would fix this.... And we did....long story of our transition to dominate off road racing brand.... When I retired we had three times more wins than all the other manufacturers combined over the last 10 years of my Ford career...

Best,

Stopped at the dealer to pick up title paperwork. Then courthouse to pay the sales tax.
And stopped at the office for a couple hours.
Then local brewery for a chocolate stout and pizza.

Back when I had the connections I use to indulge in Highland Clan. 25 yr old single malt. So smooth, almost like drinking water.

For gluten free drinking I'd recommend the world first gluten free beer(1) or traditional* Finnish long drink (2).

(1) - https://laitilan.com/en/juomat/kukko-oluet-en/
(2) - https://thelongdrink.com/#

* = Traditional as in "First made for 1952 Helsinki Olympics" using imported materials as citrus trees or sugar cane don't grow here. The actual traditional drink is Sahti, but it has been phased out on 20th century due to imposed alcohol percentage limits for shop sold beverages. It can get as high as 17% - more info from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahti

I'm not a big fan of whiskey with an "e", but after doing the Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh Scotland, I have fallen in love with single-malt Scotch Whisky from the Islay region.
That's a $500 bottle of Laphroaig 25, FWIW...
As a Laphroaigh plot holder, I'd say good choice!

Hmm.. maybe I need to take the Ranger over there to check how my square foot is doing.

Made this exact trip many times when we lived in St Augustine. Used to have a good friend who lived on Amelia Island. Savanna is wifey's favorite city to visit. Used to do a lot of camping back in the day. (Used to live & work in Ft Lauderdale also.)

Had lunch the other day at a waterside restaurant in Holiday. Observed several ? and many pelicans diving for fish.
They are a sight to see. This was a school of 3 that lead the way coming out of the channel from the Bradenton Yacht Club. They were with us for about 10 mins.

This is when I miss Florida! We use to go to the Snook Inn on Marco Island for happy hour. You could sit on the dock and watch the dolphins and the pelicans diving for fish there. There was one area near my parents house there where the manatees (see cows) would come into the end of the canal and just float around there. They're so ugly they're cute. lol
