For those ignorant of what NEK means (like me), I searched and the only reasonable thing I found is North East Kingdom (??????).

Nice pics, Dean.

I think I could be quite content, after a long day following bird dogs, sitting down with a wee dram of single malt and stare at that gun rack of Dean's. Yup would warm me up inside and out. Or if I didn't have scotch I'd want an ice cold glass of whole milk and some home made chocolate cookies warm out of the oven...
