Been way too long since I cracked one of these.

I try this with my wife all the time. She never buys it.

If my wife ever had any idea how much I've spent on booze, and especially on chips, she would probably have a heart attack. So all the secrecy is only because I love her so much. I would never want her to go through that!

There's like 6 or 7 new bottles here, tops... not too bad at all when you think about it!

I have a whiskey room, so it’s hard to tell what’s coming in and out. She thinks I have 800+ bottles. I’ll let her keep thinking that until I actually do. Currently have around 500.

That’s not a brag. It’s embarrassing. I don’t have a drinking problem. I have a collecting problem. :sneaky:

I do NOT have a whiskey room, so I tell my wife you have 800+ bottles too! :p

We had all three grandkids for the last 24 hours. They were very well behaved. Just damn busy. I think I spent 6 hours today hiding eggs, and then helping Mia (two year old little princess) search for them. If I wasn't being attentive, she would yell at me lol. Pappa, look for eggs!!!!!

I am on round two of OG 114 Old Fashioneds!

Amateur. That’s like one shelf in my second closet-worth of whiskey. ;) :cool

And like @Saoliver, that’s not a brag…I have a collecting problem. I’m only buying unicorns now. A fella’s gotta have a hobby….
 
A bit of reflection on the dry spell, if nothing but for my own notes down the road. I believe several of you incorporate a dry month or two into your enjoyment of the hobby; and for anyone who doesn't, I would encourage you to give it a try.

Outside of the personal / reflective reasons during the season which I wont get into, there are a few nice benefits of taking a bit of time off. It can reveal a number of interesting things. First is obviously the health benefits, especially if you (like me) have gotten a little over indulgent in the hobby, which can pretty easily happen. When I used to do these earlier in life, there was a bit of "just checking to make sure I CAN stop" thoughts :). I personally am incredibly lucky in that I'm fairly resistant to substance addiction - I smoked in college, and quit pretty much cold turkey upon graduating, and in general I've found that the booze is not a physical issue. What I have found is that I do really miss it, but not necessarily for the booze, but I love everything about the hobby. The chase, relaxing with a nice glass and really tasting each dram, getting together with friends to enjoy a bottle. Taking that away for a month or two is a nice reminder of how lucky we are to be able to indulge in the hobby in a regular basis.:tup:

Next up!

Lol, I've been waiting for a LONG time to try the OFSBBS rye, found one like 2 days after going dry, I figured it was getting cracked today.....

This is next level good, I'm heading back tomorrow to get some more lol

They’re fantastic! Both OF SBs are really tough to find here but the juice is definitely worth the squeeze when you do run across one. I think the rye is better but maybe I’m just biased since I prefer rye’s anyway.
