Hey fellows, thanks for the B-Day greetings and cheers. I hope everyone took the opportunity to have a morning drink as I did. A few friends picked me up for a trip to Paris (Kentucky). Went to a gun store (nothing of interest except an old Winchester Model 54 with receiver sight and a bore so dark and crudded up there was no rifling the last two inches of the barrel and a $900.00 price tag) had lunch and came home.
Like Rich, I shot a deer near head on with the .458 Win Mag using that big slow 400 grain blue nose. I had a two power scope and in the last moments of light I saw the deer flip over backwards. I caught it in the left breast and the bullet exited the last rib on the right side. It jumped to its feet and ran 40 yards! Who would have thunk it?

Bill;
That congac ie Martell is what we drank while I served my Army time in Germany. As an enlisted men I had no liquor priveleges at the PX but could purchase Martell and other congacs at a German flip top shop.
I was a Scotch drinker already at the time and my dad would include a fruit jar of it in my ever so often care package from home.
Anyone that has done a stint in service overseas knows you spent much of your time doing as little training as posible, much more time sleeping or reading, and then drinking as long as your money held out.
I am happy that time is way behind me!!!
Roger

When I was in the service I was sitting at the bar with one of the Sgt's in my company and I ordered a scotch, Johnny Walker Black to be exact. he asked why I drank it and I told him I liked it. He disagreed and asked if my parents were scotch drinkers which they were. He then told me I drank scotch because it was what I could steal from the liquor cabinet. He was correct and thats probably why he was a sgt and I was a private. .

| Mr. Bolyard, I would recommend you replace that Martell cork with a proper wine cork and lay your bottle down to keep the cork wet. I have never kept a bottle of Cognac for as long as you prefer to keep yours, but I know how to keep it from going bad. I hope I some day get to sample such a brandy as yours. I used to enjoy the occasional bottle of Martell Cordon Bleu, non vintage, but it has gotten a bit out of hand, pricewise. I used to buy it for about $35.00, gave it up when it went over fifty.

Mr Bolyard???? I dont think I have ever refered to myself in the formal, Bill is fine. My understanding is that cognaq will not be affected due to some loss by ageing. In france cognac is left in wood for 60 years or more, the only effect is the price goes up.
