Nor Cal Rabble Distillery Tour

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

Panache tried the absinthe as well...look how he emptied the bottle!



Farlander's lovely wife looks on in amusement at our antics (she's usually the one making trouble )




On our way out of the facilities-an even merrier bunch than on our way in:



We reconvened at a nice restaurant with an outdoor patio for a late lunch and a little dark brew before all heading our separate ways.

Thanks to Monkey@Arms for such a great idea, here sitting with the newly met demolay1310:



And walkerk and Madalyn looking content:



That's pretty much all I've got (everyone breathes a sigh of relief)

Be well,

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

Wait, just one more set of pics. Absinthe starts clear/golden and then gradually clouds up as it sits out (with ice in it in this case, but I think anything will do-such as a sugar cube if you're into that whole Dracula thing)


Here it is mostly transparent, but just starting to turn at the bottom of the glass:




Then, after a few minutes:




Alright, that's really all I've got

Be well,

Great photos! Thanks so much for sharing

And yum!! Now I'm craving absinthe... I might just have to have a glass sometime this week

WOW.

I just crawled around the boat, troubleshot electrical issues, threaded my experimental spinnaker thong line through the kite, and couldn't go sailing 'cause I was so bleedin' busy doing all THAT stuff.

It looks like fun!

BTW, no way I will be at Monterey Games. I'd love to but I have GOT to get some on-the-water time.

You all take such great photos I'm thinking of hiring out the Nor Cal Rabble to take pictures at weddings and bar mitzvahs. (They'll probably work for booze.) Glad things went smoothly today, Mathew and I had a great time, and I've adopted the crazed absinthe monkey as my new avatar.

Best regards,

Jake

looks like a fun time

It was great to get together with the gang for such a pleasant afternoon.

Here is an interesting article from the SF Gate (The San Francisco Chronicle's online identity) about Absinthe and the St. George Distillery

I find this picture disturbing



It reminds me of this...thing that Freelander Sporrano has in one of his secret laboratories



When I asked him what it was he just laughed and said "one day you and the whole world will know..."



Cheers
