A 12year+ Single malt Scotch over ice....
Turns out dad had forgotten the door and when he went out to investigate, he discovered a bag of dog food torn open that the coon had gotten into.
Whiskey was Pendelton and 7 Devils. I try to bring over a new variety each week for dad to sample, which was the 7 Devils. We didn't like it.
Yes, I mix my whiskey with caffeine-free and sugar-free coke. I like the taste. I do drink good whiskey straight, as well as Scotch; I'm not a monster.
But I like mixed-drinks and have two whiskey and cokes every card night. I have to drive 15 miles home afterwards and I stretch them out over a 4 hour period. If I just drank it straight, I would likely drink too much. It works for me.
Folks are leaving Friday for Yuma, so last card night until they return in May, or when I am planning on visiting them in February.
7 Devils is made in Caldwell, ID and was sweet and not smooth. It was odd. Pendelton is closer to Jameson's and is my favorite under $1 per ounce whiskey. I drink it straight and mixed.I've heard about Pendleton whiskey... was that one any good? And I take it 7-Devils is made in Yakima or Benton City?
My neighbors have a property in Yuma and leave every winter for 6 months or more. My wife and I used to go to Quartzsite, but having lived near enough to Yuma back in the day, left San Diego in 1980 (dad used to word TDY in Yuma from time to time), and having visited there going thru to Algodones, I fail to see the attraction, other than warmth. (Cheap property???) Like whiskey, to each his own!!! I do hope you enjoy your Feb trip... is that something you've done before? Dress warm, weather is starting to heat up by then!!

The topography around Yuma is indeed ugly, but it's fun to go on Jeep trips and explore old mines and ghost towns. Yuma is perfect as a winter retreat with temps in the 70's and 80's and is a conservative town.
My folks started out buying a $60k park model home, then sold it a couple of years later for $90k, then bought a new construction adobe-style home in the Foothills area for $170k a few years ago. It's now worth around $300k and is like a resort. Dad did a ton of work to the lot and added palm trees, large water features, flagstone, and other niceties.
I love visiting in the dead of winter and sipping tequila in 80 degree weather while listening to the waterfall and basking in the sun on the rooftop deck...
For me, an absolute last resort .And don't forget that an adult sized boot swung with sufficient force can dissuade 2 and 4 legged attackers.
wow even the racoons in canada are nice.
I was at friend's house and we heard a noise in his shop. We turn on the lights and see a raccoon digging in the bait box in his boat. It scurries up into the rafters and my friend decides the raccoon has to die. He grabs his bow and shoots an arrow with a broadhead that skewers this raccoon and lodges into the rafter....directly over the deck of his boat. I swear 20 gallons of blood sprayed all over his boat.
I found that if you're gonna start a celebratory day with a mixed drink a tequila sunrise is a tasty and healthful choice.
