Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[greatestescaper]

I reckon perhaps that pairing my palm leaf hat and a bottle of chianti makes as much sense as Dean Martin singing country and western music, which is to say (as Bob Hope observed) about as much sense as Gregg Allman giving Sonny Bono a welcome home party. But by golly some of Dino's country was pretty good, and that bottle of wine that my beautiful wife and I shared over dinner was excellent as well, regardless of what hat I wore today.

Another hot & windy day so I chose a Lawman Milan with a cloth sweatband, I know it's going to get soaked from perspiration. Had a coupon for an iced Latte so thought I would try one, but Lattes are just not my thing. They either need stronger coffee or some whiskey added.

I say just be done with it and add the whiskey.

I have always found most lattes to be weak on the coffee side. Might as well get a solid jamoca shake from Arby's. What you need is a double or triple shot of espresso to get you going.

I'd carry some of those creamer sized shots of Bailey's in my truck if it wasn't so expensive to buy it that way. I've always thought, how convenient?

I'm sure her eyeballs were twitching back and forth. [emoji102]

On the topic of strong coffee my grandfather, who is quite the coffee drinker, explained that the new Nitro Coffee that seems all the rage lately was too much coffee for him. I am admittedly apprehensive about trying any myself. From my own experience though I was surprised by the quality of the coffee produced in a boiler (much like of a chuck wagon), but after drinking an entire moka pot everyday for week when I set the fire a fixed the coffee I wondered if there were enough grounds in (the moka pot is that strong comparatively). I've since purchased some espresso mugs and no longer allow myself the full pot (9 servings...).

Trying a new bean sold at the Sam's club. Just an arabica medium roast. I'll pick a hat when I'm firing on all cylinders.

I buy these from the Outlet store & usually sort out 3-5 at a time. They are factory seconds. They are pretty much a daily thing for me in the hot summertime.

I like everything about this. If I started smoking a pipe, it would be one like this.

LOL...once a newbie learns how, there's nothing sweeter than a cob. This one has an antler shank.

PS: I should add for those interested in the historical aspect, corn cob pipes first came into use in about 1869 - 1870.

I love your Adams hat, Eric, and always enjoy seeing NW beers enjoyed by others across the country. I love to fish for summer steelhead on the Deschutes river.

Another holiday weekend means $5 growler fills at Granite City. This one is filled with their German Bock, The Bennie. I have another growler I filled with their IPA, Northern Light just in case any lightweight beer drinkers might come around this weekend.

First holiday I'll be able to wear my new BSHW.

Cheers folks. Grilling salmon steaks for my wife and I. We opened a bottle of Arrowood Reserve Speciale Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 to make this occasion even more special. Grilling in a Gannon (bone colored beaver felt).

Salud', Eric -
