No hats were harmed in the taking of this picture.
Home before the sun disappeared this evening. Sipping a Guniness eating an apple on the deck after a long walk was the perfect combination. A vtg. Open Road, my dog and I spent a glorious couple of hours on a walkabout enjoying the cool and breezy weather. The breeze, while strong, blows the insects away. A treat of an evening. The beer even taste better.
I headed down to the dock with my dog to watch the sunset. A cup of black tea and a cap were my changes to settle in a chair and enjoy the last of the sunlight.
Wish you folks were here to visit as this is a perfect summer evening. Cheer,s Eric -
YES, Black drinks are best!!! Especially when followed by a Dark Brown Chaser.....

Good pic BB! I first thought the bench was a porch swing, which brought to my mind a great line from The Big Lebowski when the Dude is getting roughed up being pushed into the back of a limo & says, "Hey, careful man, there's a beverage here!"
Oh can’t beat good burnt ends!!
Enjoy your beer then take care of yourself, Eric. Get some rest.I am exhausted, but happy to be home before the sun sets. I opened the Tilley box that was delivered this afternoon and am wearing the wrinkled and beat up hat this evening. It is HOT and humid, so I am wearing it and hoping it will do the right thing - perk up bud. I am way to fatigued to care.
Anywho, sipping Omni Brewing Hue Hefe this evening. It is a
hefeweizen-inspired German wheat beer. It is with concentration to taste a hint of of banana and a touch of clove. Lovely beer on a warm summer evening.
Cheers, Eric -
NICE!I bought a couple bottles of First Editions bottlings of Longmorn 18 & Blair Athol 18 yr old Single Malt Scotch Whisky on a flash sale. One of these will likely be opened this Sunday on Father's Day. And special Whiskys call for special hats so I chose my Stetson Shady Oak Farm Amon Carter 3X for these pics.

Hope you enjoy your weekend & manage to get some R&R!Thanks Jack. I was indeed a tired AND crabby person mid-week. Home early this evening (6:30pm) and enjoying the summer evening.
Lucky dude. I have read about those first editions and read reviews praising them. I am intrigued by the reviews of Athol 18. Enjoy the sampling!
I have been puttering about sipping a beer delivered today from Omni Brewing. This is the Omni Melt (Strawberry/Lemon fruit, vanilla and milk sugar). This sour beer hits the spot. I have a bowl of vegetables and a ranch dressing dip on the deck beside me. The combo of the sour beer (taste of fruit/vanilla up front) and the vegi's are dynamite. The days temp is falling with clouds and the evening sky. The combo is nearly perfect when looking over the lake.
I will sample a whiskey much later this evening after some hearty food. No idea - yet!
Cheers, Eric -
