Stopped by the long time liquor store that I have frequented many times that has a nice selection of Rye Whiskeys. While Not drinking.....yet..... But will be in my suitcases coming home to be enjoyed by my pool bar.



Minor Case. Small distillery out in a barn.



Clyde May's. Top stuff. They make an really good Bourbon as well.



History label sums it up. 10 Year aged Rye



Angels Envy finished Rye


Cheers all

Excellent selection of Rye's there, JP! I am envious!

Cheers Snubs. Those will be heading home in 3 weeks. I sure wish I could take more. There are so many good ones.

The espresso martini will put lead in his pencil

Picked up these



Another Belgium style Ale. 8.3% abv. I think I need to go to Belgium to do a beer tasting tour like I did on a The Tequila train tour I took in Jalisco Mexico.



Allgash. This was finished in Bourbon barrels ABV 10%. Will taste tonight. quite curious

Tonight I forewent my usual Friday night Leo guzzling session with my mate from the provinces for two main reasons... work commitments mean I suddenly have a busy week ahead starting with the daughter's science project tomorrow morning (for which I need a clear head) and I've been pretty well knackered today after having to unexpectedly update a load of work paperwork through last night.

Also of course, I want to rehabilitate Anna and cheer her up a bit before I leave. But Anna was so keen to get back to the comfort of her chair tonight I didn't even have a chance for a sip of Ya Dong and a quick pic before she was heading back. Maybe my Welsh mate would have been better company?

^Why don't you sip your ya dong by the pool or the lake Mendip?

A cheeky Little Creatures Pale for me to toast a nicely weathered F8F Bearcat which flew in this week

This evolved from the F4F Wildcat/Grumman Martlet to its rear, by way of the much larger F6F Hellcat

It retains the F6F's monster upsized engine (and propeller blades) but goes back to the F4F's diminutive body. The combination gave it legendary power to weight ratio which means it is still in use today and is favoured as a vintage retro stunt plane.

This example is in service with the French Armee de l'Air

It was only used by 4 forces in total and the Royal Thai Air Force was one of them

Have really taken to this Riceberry beer when drinking local stuff.




Reminds me of the Irish Red Ales.

Very light fizz and none of the chemical taste and feeling of the Thai lager shite.

M'Sahib comes up with requests for movies/tv series occasionally, and for the last couple of nights we've been working our way through the episodes of "Stranger Things". Personally, never been a fan of scifi, which is probably why I haven't seen it before. However, decent production with some humour thrown in. Not a hardship watching it with her, though a beer and brandy is a useful incentive.

I love watching a series with Mrs Toot, she's T total but there is always an amusing cultural spanner she can't get her head around which i love her to bits for, being a soft coont i am.

Same as M'Sahib, tee total for life, but manages to accept my culture with alcohol without being in any way judgmental or critical, obviously if I don't go OTT. Has a penchant for western and sci-fi type movies/series.

Little features is a nice option.

Is that the moonshine they sold by the Irish roadsides for 50p a gallon many years ago called "red diesel".

True story....

A new Lao Khao that of the many different brands I've tried has the nicest flavor.

A fruity Leo.

Fruity as John Inman.

I have got more little features than you can shake a stick at on this awesome F8F Willy.

...feast yer mincers on the piston-heads and exhaust pipework

^ They don't make 'em like they used to. You might be able to start it up.

Models bought today are no comparison to those made 30 years ago. (Same company)

Nowadays the engine doesn't exist, just a painted bump on the plastic mold.

The old ones have complete separate engines made from 3 or 4 different parts inside the engine bay.

What is this concoction?Answers on a postcard.

A Dr Earl special ?

Advocaat and soda?
