The old fashioned is my drink of choice. I make mine very simply. I use Rye, angostura bitters, orange bitters, ice, sugar, and water. I'm not a huge cognac fan. When I lived in Thailand, I was always treated to Hennessy at parties. I got burned out on it.

Its easy to get burned out on drinks.... I especially try to mix it up now for that reason.....

On unreated note..... why were you in thialand? You scuba>?

 

[RedneckReject]

I think I do have some bourbon around here somewhere actually

 

[JollyMon]

mmmm bourbon.... If you all couldnt tell. I do like my drinks

 

[JollyMon]

old fashions are very good. I just dont know. When I want to drink a hard liqour, i prefer neat or on the rocks...

 

[JollyMon]

Maybe I need a trip down to the "libertine" downtown to open my mind to better drinks

I enjoy mine on the weekends but that's it. Sadly I thought I had more booze than I do. And I am without a car until 5:30 this morning

I was diving for fun. My real job was as an international affairs officer at a royal university in the Kingdom of Thailand. I was the token white guy who was expected to socialize with the schools foreign guests. I was wined and dined for various parties on at least a weekly basis. I was paid to take out the foreign guests, entertain them, do some teaching, edit English language publications, and do some research. The best part of my job was the travel. I got to go all over Asia and stay at 5 star resorts for "conferences" at no cost. The worst part was my dress uniform. I looked like an admiral with all the ribbons I had to wear.

Yep... pretty sure you where wearing that ged-up on NFA day. I just got my open water thus why I was asking bout scuba. sounds like a fun job to have... more fun then automating insurance websites.

Definitely more fun than standing around at a truckstop for 10 hours

I have some friends that go to diver supply for their air fills. Hit me up if you want to go diving this summer at any local sites to build your experience. I camp everywhere I dive, so it doesn't cost much. Most summers I dive at Gilboa, near Lima, OH, Blue Springs in Hopkinsville, KY, and my favorite is Mermet Springs in Metropolis, IL.

I did my check out in gilboa in october or November (cant remember)... but what an awesome place.

Im still trying to accumulate funds for gear.... but shooting supplies always bring my disposable income down

But I will take you up on that offer... I dont want to loose the skills I learned

 

[RedneckReject]

SCUBA is something I always thought would be cool just never knew how to get into it
