Oh sweet delicious Drambouie! 

True story:

In high school, I was dating this very fun, beautiful young lady from a well to do family. On occasion, I would go pick her up for a date in my '68 Firebird and like a lot of girls, she would not be ready to go.
Her father, a wealthy business owner, would chat with me while I was waiting and offered me shots of Drambuie, which I happily accepted!
Didnt think much of it at the time, but looking back now, her Dad gave me booze before I was going to drive his daughter out for a date!!!  Doubt that happens much these days...RIP Van, you were a good Man!

PS. I did wreck said Firebird near their home during a thunderstorm one day but she was not with me at the time.

Things are definitely different these days. The father of my date for the senior prom rented a brand new Camaro and handed me the keys to the car and the key to a hotel room. I was stunned, he told me have fun and take care of his daughter.  :o

Dredged that trailer out of a brackish pond.  A particularly ornery bass had taken up residence in the fender that i had to fight it off with a detailers mitten before i could claim my maritime salvage rights.

Got damn! This place is still open!? Just stopped by for a quick drink and see some of the usual suspects are still hanging about. Yes, I still have my CB in a corner of my garage and still have my Harley trike, but haven't been out on either since getting a liver transplant back in May 2018. Oh! And kids! I have 3 boys now! The oldest was born in 2011 and my twins came along in 2015. My youngest boy is now eyeing my CB. And I started them young! They all have electric mini-bikes. Finally starting to feel normal again and maybe come Spring I can get out and find a job and get back to riding. It’s been some journey, these last 5 years and I’m saddened to see we’ve lost a few more members like Bob & Frank. RIP boys! So raise a glass you SSDB Bastards! 🍻 Who knows, maybe in a few years there’ll be a Damfino Jr. on here looking for advice on getters his old man’s 750 up & running. Take care for now!

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Thanks Franken & Stev-o, yeah I had cirrhosis but from NASH, not drinking. So I still get to imbibe a little, as long as I don’t drink like I used to in my younger days. 👍🏻
