After a hard day of work building the battery bench for my solar panel project and many other farm tasks, me and my farm hand relax back under the lean to barn and enjoy a drink as the rain starts. It feels good to get a lot of work done and then sit back at the same place and just see it all come together. As the cold weather sets in we enjoy the fire, I bring some warm coveralls but it helps to have the fire going as well. It is raining as well, but the old metal roof is still holding up on this building that was here before I bought the property.
We are trying two different kinds of whiskey today. A classic, Wild Turkey bourbon. And a new one to me, Bird Dog Blackberry flavored whiskey.
I try out the later first, and enjoy a few sips of the blackberry flavor. The fire was just getting warmed up and it was nice, as the temperatures outside were dropping fast. The flavor of this whiskey was strong with fruit. I wonder if it was all natural... After finishing this goblet he brought over, quite medieval we tried out the Wild Turkey. It was nice too, had a more spice flavor to it. Honestly I think I would rather stick with that. I have had Wild Turkey whiskey in the past and always enjoyed it.
Sometimes the smoke would pour under the lean to barn but only for a few moments. Made all my clothes smell like smoke for the next few days, hah.. I don't mind it.
We have some more work to do the next day, moving those hay bales and get ready to have the grass around the homes mowed. But for the rest of this day will be spent just relaxing. Not really worried as the ground was completely soaked, so just the dry wood burned that we put on. My farm hand puts his glass up to the fire to help warm it. It is getting into the 40s F and he likes his whiskey warm.
After a few hours of just hanging out under the metal roof, it was time to let the fire smolder out. The rain was steady and we just broke up the fire and made sure it went out with all the rain that was going on.
It was nice just hanging out for a bit after work, usually when the work is done we just go back to each of our homes. But this time we just enjoyed the sights of the outdoors while enjoying some whiskey.
