It took me a few years, but it was finally time to upgrade from a Pit Boss to a Recteq Flagship 1100. This thing is a TANK!

Can’t wait to cook some chicken thighs on it tonight! What should the inaugural pour be?

Relaxing. Enjoying this time off. It’s a beautiful summer evening here in Florida.

Taking a break for a little while. I’ll be back. Eventually. 😉

12/05/2024

Only goooood vibrations flowing down here in the Keys. We had an GREAT time at Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters in Marathon! The kiddo got to feed and touch all kinds of animals. Well worth the money.

What are y’all sipping tonight? There is a Corona Cigar Company 1792 Bourbon Bottled in Bond pick in my glass. Excellent pour!

02/05/2024

After 3 and a half years, it’s nice to be on a real vacation! I’ve got a Manatee Whiskey Society barrel pick in the glass and sand in my toes. It’s going to be a nice few days!

02/05/2024

👀 New Weller on the horizon?

What do you think this will cost? 🤔😬

Thanks for posting it first!

01/05/2024

Does the “bottled in bond” status mean something to you as a whiskey drinker? Does it affect your decision on whether or not to buy the bottle?

26/04/2024

Review incoming…. 😂🥃🤘🏼

25/04/2024

I stopped in to see a friend and walked out with four more friends!
