My latest bout with covid is about over.

I win, still kicking.

The loss of smell and taste was only a few days for me and has totaly come back to normal.

I have heard some with worse outcomes but think that is a minority.

Hang in there.

Nothing fancy today but this shit was earned and damn if it wasn’t good.

Gave up the unhealthies for a reset. No caffeine, booze, or junk. Just steak fruit veg and butter. And lots of cardio. Feel like a million bucks.

A "lazy" Sazerac, since who has time for all that. A small splash of Absinthe to wash the inside of a single rocks glass, 2 Oz of Sazerac Rye, 3 good dashes of Peychaud's Bitters, dash of Fee Brothers Lemon Bitters, fill rest of glass with good ice and stir.

Some Sazerac 18 from the 2012 release. Been a while from a long open bottle, lot more wood than I remember but nothing like the over-tannin in the Vintage Rye 23 stuff.

I paid $65 for this and the entire BTAC collection used to sit on the top shelf collecting dust because who the hell would pay $65 for a bottle of whiskey then.

It has gotten out of control and people with more money than sense. BTAC are awesome for $100-200 bottles. Now the collection is $6000+ GTFO.
 
Just had a cheese steak sub and a glass of my favorite, world renowned Sweetened Iced Tea, heavy on the lemon juice.
Cheese steak sub sounds like you ate at Subway.
It's just "cheese steak" and if the person you're talking to is dense you can add "sandwich" to get the point across.

BTW, coffee.
Colombian Supremo, the real deal which is so very hard to find these days.
Gimme a few to take my obligatory morphine/oxycontin cocktail and it'll be nappy time again :)
 
Some people don't know shit from shinola.

Today went to my friends house to work on hf radio antennas. 100 degrees and full sun. Good thing I brought my leather work gloves.

Refreshment time.

Miff, waste of good 6 year old that should have stayed in original oak barrel. Sticking it in the wine barrels ruined a good poor and wasted an a additional six years. And on top of that watered it down to like 84 proof ? WTF. Dumbass maneuver. We drank it neat / cold.

My buddy asks what I thought of it and told him about that.

Back out to antenna and hooked up analyzer made adjustments and added ground plane elements.

Back inside he hands me another poor. Sight unseen I tell him this is the real shit right here. Told him it was uncut barrel proof 115-120 plus proof rye the way God intended it to be.

He pulled out the bottle.

The Thomas H Handy Sazerac strait rye whiskey is the real deal.

129.5 proof. I would buy a milk truck full if I could get it.
