Another fun fact about bourbon..

Scot and Canadian distilleries often use used, re-charred bourbon barrels to age their whiskies.

I didn't know about the re-charring but add Irish whiskey to the list that uses Bourbon barrels. And believe it or not some Scotch uses old sherry casks. I'm not sure if Canadian or Irish whiskey ever uses new barrels but as far as I've been able to find out Scotch always uses old barrels. And Tom's right about charcoal filtering breaking the no coloring/flavoring rule for Bourbon.

When I said Tim Horton's only kept their coffee for 20 minutes I may have made a mistake. The more I think about the more I think it was Dunkin' Donuts. I'm 99% certain it was one of those two.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

And women...don't forget the women...

Though on occasion, some relief from the women would probably negate the need for the booze...

I'm reworking my retirement plans.  I'm not broke...working and making a good living but there's no reason to squander anything.  I'm going to quit working at 62 so it's time to start living on the cheap.

Today, I scored two bathroom sinks from the local Habitat for Humanity thrift store for five bucks each!  One a Kohler and the other an American Standard.  Both porcelain and like new!

Both sinks new are near 100 bucks new so I threw another 10 bucks to the clerk with a couple of donated appliance cords I dragged out of the shed.  She beamed...I think she wanted me...

New faucet, 5 dollar sink..I'm out 57 bucks + tax and a smile from a twenty something cutie....

Not a bad day I must say...

Pink.  Nothing says '60s like pink.  I like the faucet though.
