Dinner Update :
There's a small tavern about two miles away.
Lots of old funky decor on the walls ... been there for decades.
The food concession near the back, adjacent to the patio, does great wings.
Neither of us wanted to cook, but their phone wasn't taking messages, so I just went on over.
Figured to have a beer, and watch a Cardinal game, while an order of wings were cooking.
Well, it didn't quite work out ... parked the car, walked to the door, and found a piece of plywood.
Huh? ... looked around the corner ... what the heck? It's All boarded up!
Looks like they had a major fire ... those wings were hot ... but wow!
Drove home empty handed.
We made do.

Its been a great day. Smoked a butt yesterday and fed the family after church, its time for nap, then hang a TV on the wall, and do some other odd jobs before getting ready of a week of whatever the heck I want to do. Opps and do need to go to the ABC, running out of scotch at night is bad karma.

Main project today was to replace the gasket on my Big Green Egg, that I had been babying along for the last month or more. Not a difficult job, just a lot of cleaning and scrubbing with isopropyl alcohol and old towels. I have the new gasket on and curing for at least a day. Will re-attach the top and bottom sections in a day or two.

I don’t drink much Scotch but I liked Glenmorangie(sp). Is it smooth and not mostly aromatic? I always envisioned scotch and smooth and like scotch candies. Have yet to find that.

Fished hard with nary a run off. Got 'em yesterday so will still have my fish fry this evening - after a few cocktails.

It is a single malt which is peaty but still reflects aging in whatever barrels they used. You won't find any scotch that will taste like scotch candy. It is a aquired taste. Bourbons are generally sweeter and more appealing to most palates.

Bourbons are generally sweeter and more appealing to most palates. Pretty much i guess. We tried 1/2 dozen scotches in the $30-$75/ bottle range and gave up. Burbon is more pleasing, brandy too.

Bourbon got popular and now has all these fancy brands popping up due to new liquor techniques. I like 4 Roses and Gentleman & black label Jack.
