Lovely photo Dylan, and what is that mystery liquid you're drinking?

Thank you, Jeff! That would be a bit of Shiraz that my wife picked up from the Trader Joe's (house brand, I think). Something relatively inexpensive but smooth and palatable.


I am having something a bit stiffer to welcome my weekend. 'Twas a doozy of a week.

Now that, Dylan, is a lovely dram! No longer 6 yo age stated, but still mighty good juice. I have a bottle of it, myself.
Have you ever had the pleasure of the 18 yo Sazerac from the Antique Collection? One of the finest whiskeys ever.

This is good stout weather.

Great composition, Dylan! (Thomas or Bob?)

Thank you, Vince.

If you are referring to the knife, that's a good question. With my limited knowledge of this particular knife, I am fairly certain that Bob didn't make but that Queen did however long ago. I like it all the same though, a very stout Barlow with a unique spear.

Jeff, admittedly, I am a novice when it comes to Rye Whiskeys. This one arrived today, compliments of another forum member and I am quite pleased with it. I have not had the pleasure of trying their 18 year but from what I have read, it is quite the whiskey and one worthy of having on the shelf. In fact, from what I gather, anything Sazerac is worth having.

A couple of good ryes later and I am beginning to feel that it is a type well worth seeking out for the bar.

I am fond of Samuel Smith ales but I don't think I have had their chocolate stout, I am sure it is as good as their other offerings.

The "great composition" was for the picture: beautifully composed.
Then I switched gears and was wondering if you might have been named for Dylan Thomas or Bob Dylan. Figured it wasn't for Matt because of the spelling. ;). Or is it an old family name?

P.S. the choc stout is great, but so are all the Samuel Smiths I've had.

Ha! I sure muddled that up, didn't I...

I was adopted so I'm not too sure what the reasoning was behind my name. I've since reconnected with my biological father but I've never thought to ask him.

He is a big folk music fan, so it is entirely plausible that Bob was his inspiration.

In other news, a nickname I hold is Marshal. A good buddy of mine is a big Gunsmoke fan and won't call me anything else... It kind of stuck.

Well, they're all pretty darn [would use another word that John Wayne used a lot but might earn me a reprimand here!] cool! :thumbsup:
