I just brought up my booze collection from the basement. It has been in storage for a few years and we are going to create a small bar in our redecorated basement. While doing many roadtrips through the US I collected some nice bottles , quite a few bourbons, and Jack Daniels stuff. I like collecting booze, but I really don't drink it. I might give a few bottles away as it is more than I would drink in a lifetime. I just had a shot of Patron Silver with lemonade and feeling tipsy already, lol.

When I was in Lynchburg TN I picked up some vintage (empty) bottles that were signed by famous master distillers at the Jack Daniels distillery - Mr. Bobo and others. I love the bottles , they were a very cool shape back in the day.

I took one of the bottles and filled it with sand and agates I’ve collected - it looks awesome in the window since the light shines through the rocks.

I just sparked up my gas fireplace for the season. A few days back I took it apart and cleaned up the internal parts and glass. This was the quickest spark of the pilot flame ever, usually it takes a number of tries but it sparked up on the first try today. I guess cleaning out the cob webs makes a difference on the pilot light.

I just got an espresso machine and bean grinder given back to me. A few years ago I gave it to my wife's relatives, but now they are moving to a new country and won't be taking the equipment with them so they gave them back to me. I now have three espresso machines and two grinders. I love these machines but I need to free up some space, so I may try to sell one.
