Â*Â* Well , crushed rock to be more precise . Had it delivered today by
the county , I'll be billed later but the agreed on price was very
reasonable . Unfortunately the rain got too heavy before i finished
spreading it with Rusty the Tractor . This will be the parking pad for
our camper , later an RV if I can convince . But that's just the
beginning , I'm building a "carport" structure to shelter the
camper/RV
from the weather - 12 feet clear height and approximately 11'4" clear
sideways and 30 feet long . I plan to park the Harleys under it too
. I
priced the metal carport structures , by the time I get the height and
size I want it's over 2500 bucks from the local . I can build it
myself
for less than half that with materials from the local lumber yard .
Hmmm
, I haven't priced steel structural members , might be cheaper than
lumber . A task for tomorrow , tonight I'm drinkin' whiskey .
What kind of whiskey?

Â*Â* Evan Williams 86 proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey . Sour
Mash and Smewth .


Not a bad bottom shelf bourbon mind you- but smooth? Not. It burns
like blazes going down;-)

Â* Smoother 'n Jack . And yer a snob . Pthhhhht


Hey, if I was a snob, I'd be drinking a cutesie over-priced
designer-label single malt Scotch that comes in a fancy box or a
cardboard tube with a gold tassel.

I was in a liquor store the other day and saw some dipstick actually
pick one of those up and take it to the checkout. He didn't get much
change back from the C-note and the fifty he laid on the counter!

I think of myself as a man's man. I like my whiskey neat, my steaks rare
and my Pop-Tarts untoasted.
