Paul ,,, I haven’t heard that in years….  I think that’s the first thing that came to mind … I was sure I wasn’t alone on this lol .. Jim bean is a pretty popular brand … they certainly move a lot of it 

Oh, and speaking of YouTube, I watched a really good one again yesterday, it was on the related videos of another one I watched. The "steepest road in Canada" part caught my attention. 

It was about the "Bella Coola Hill", rt. 20 out of Bella Coola, in British Columbia. I love this stuff, the road- well, the hill- is 12 miles and a 15% grade, with parts of it at 18%. And it's a dirt road!

I was wondering if trucks were even allowed on it, and yes they are. Another video of it showed a couple of tankers coming down and they were spraying a water and calcium chloride mixture to keep dust down. The guy on the motorcycle that was making the video said he preferred the dust, because it was very slick after they sprayed it. 

This is not the one with the trucks...I don't think. It might be, but there's other shorter videos of it so it's not too hard to find.

Bourbon all the way for me, mind you I have had recent discovery of Vodka, bloody mad Russians 

Vodka will make a mess of me without me even knowing 

Yes  Brocky, Hogs Breath Cafe is what they call them

A good steak cooked all the way through is my go to, the Princess has had this thing of not cooking meat properly of late, well I had suggested I don't like eating meat that's still mooing at me 

A couple of weeks ago I fairly spat the dumy as I carried my meat back to fully cook it

It was a very quiet evening meal after that 

However the meat has been cooked better since, I don't understand why after 30 years of marriage she woul................., anyway I  have already said to much 

Nothing like a couple of good bourbons and a nice fat cigar to end the week

Last Saturday I was meeting with a few guys at the workshop of one of them. I took a bottle of Grappa made by the original distiller located at the bridge over the river in Bassano Nth Italy. We gently reduced 3/4 from the bottle, some added to black espresso coffee and then neat. One guy was from UK on a 1 week tour of a renter 1250 BMW bike, after he was happy and very warm inside, he headed off the Phillip Island for the moto GP.
