Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

I'm trying to cut down on beer.

Ezra really bent the edges back on this stuff.

That's mighty high praise GT. The surface of the rock upon which the knives are resting is about 2 feet above the ground. It weighs 900 lbs and is in the shape of the number "1". I have hauled several such stones from miles away to serve as "park benches". These and similar foolish activities are the source of my shoulder problems I imagine. But I digress. As for the photos, most every pic is taken with my i-phone which is why the lens sets so low. Until recently I used Nikon equipment with high end lenses but the newer smart phone cameras seem to achieve the same results. Thanks again for your kind observations. :)

Thanks for the explanation, Dwight! :cool::cool::thumbsup:

Yes, Dylan, it is a good quaff. I like Budweiser (and Miller High Life for my daily non-craft American lager) and I like Jim Beam (Beam regular when I'm drinking at a bar, Black Label at home, though Wild Turkey 101 is my regular at home). That said, I do like this malty lager for its smooth finish. Oh, and it's 6.2% abv.

p.s. I do not drink "lite" beers for religious, moral, patriotic, and health reasons, and as matter of self-awareness. I, also, do not drink low-fat buttermilk, whatever the hell that is.

I used to look down my nose at the domestics, fancying myself as a bit of a beer snob. Then I realized I do not like being a snob and would much rather accept a beer freely offered, regardless of its pedigree, and make friends whilst doing it rather than alienating myself from potential camaraderie by judging their kind gifts.

A beer amongst friends is the finest beer out there.

I will keep on the look out for that particular beverage, I might have to give it a try.

Dwight, you are so correct about Dylan's photos! :thumbsup::cool::cool: But you, sir, are in that same pantheon of premier photographers as Dylan! :eek::thumbsup::thumbsup: Here's something that puzzles me about many of your recent pics, especially those with the misty treeline in the background. Where is the camera positioned?? The knives often seem to be on a relatively low stone or stump, almost at ground level, but the camera seems to be "looking up" at the knife!?! Are you lying on the ground taking your pics? (No wonder your shoulders hurt!! :eek::() Or have you dug a below-ground photo bunker you can stand in and keep your camera below the knife? Fabulous fotos, whatever magic you use! :D:thumbsup::thumbsup::cool::cool:

I would have to agree with you, GT, I very much enjoy Dwight's pictures. I am a sucker for natural settings and he captures those elements quite nicely in his photography.

Not my usual style, but as a Maiden fan I couldn’t resist trying it out. A tasty English golden ale, I enjoyed it....

Coming from a fellow Maiden fan, I applaud your beer choice, sir. I tried one of their Belgians a little while back at a local pub, it was pretty decent. Speaking of Iron Maiden, I will be seeing them next year. Already bought the tickets.

Nice choice, Jer, I'm a big fan of rye. This one's pretty good.

Admittedly, I am not as well versed in Ryes and Bourbons, Irish and Scotches tend to be more my forte. That being said, I like branching out and trying new things. I will have to look out for that Pikesville and give it a try.

I have been knocking back this rye from a local distillery. It isn't bad at all, goes down pretty easy. However, I have heard their Bourbon style whiskeys are better so I will be trying one of those next.

That’s fantastic Dylan! I can never seem to find the time or tickets. I haven’t been to any concerts since 2009. And, as I’m sure you know, don’t bring any knives.... I learned that one the hard way in the 90’s.
