Day 2 of the rum advent is Black Tot Last Consignment, 46.2% by volume, semi sweet smell. Mellow with a slight sweetness to the taste with a mild but pleasant finish. Again I poured over ice before drinking, and just a cube not a full glass of ice, enough to chill it.

This year I went with the rum advent calendar instead of a whiskey one. With me having been in the Navy a rum one just fits, the whole rum ration and all. So the first one I get to try is Matusalem 15 Gran Reserva, it’s a 40% by volume, has a sweet and slightly spicy aroma. Just to note I will be drinking all

As I sit on my porch smoking a cigar and having a beer watching hurricane Ian come across Florida looking at how the clouds are moving I know it’s a matter of time before it comes up to the Jacksonville area. Hoping all the people in south Florida are ok and somewhere safe. The wind blowing and waves of light rain will soon turn to...

So I was lucky enough to get tattooed at the Jacksonville Tattoo convention this year. Didn’t place in the top three , but I believe the artwork speaks for itself. This tattoo is 8 inches by just about 10 inches and took a straight 7 hours to get done. I am very pleased with the work and how it all came out.

So after 6 years of not getting tattooed I’m finally starting the rest of my sleeve. Finally found someone with the style that I wanted and so far I’m impressed. More to come.

@juliju I finally started to scratch that itch I had.

So 20 years ago today I joined the Navy. Well things happened and I wasn’t able to make it to the full 20 year mark. For the longest time I didn’t like Valentine’s Day because of what happened to me, but I’m at peace with it and am happy to say I served and what these last several years have done for me. For the

Thank you for your service. My grandfather was an electronics engineer in the Navy. He served during WWII at the Bikini Atoll atomic weapons testing. The stories he had were/are amazing. I'm sorry for your pain during your time of service. I was a contractor. That shit fucks you up in many ways. I'm sending you late Valentine's wishes for any ailments and well wishes for the future!
