John, like you, I've never liked scotch. What was that stuff? I have a lot of hooch that I never mess with. My bar has everything but vodka. Even the most expensive vodka tastes like turpentine to me. Some of that stuff like gin and bourbon have been there for years.

In the summer I'll have a couple of beers but not many. And I'm the guy that used to keep the breweries on overtime.

Year around, I enjoy tequila/margaritas but only the over priced stuff.

When the temps really drop, I mostly prefer De Kuypers apricot brandy; and only the apricot. All the rest I consider pretty nasty mouth wash. When I take a drink of it, I can feel warmth spreading out to my fingers and down to my toes. But you have to approach it with caution. If you get over heated, you can fall out of tree stands and bass boats.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
