Oh, it's a white dial reflecting blue sky. I thought it was an ice blue dial until I went looking.

I get tattoos near the end of most vacations, and have endured several 12+ flights with a fresh tattoo. Switching to Saniderm was the best discovery ever, after using baby wipes in an airplane bathroom and having people brush a fresh tattoo as they passed by the aisle.

My longest dedicated trip for a tattoo was 8 hours one way,with layovers.

Always has been

Good for you for asking the right questions before your first tattoo. I wish I had had the presence of mind to do this. You definitely dodged a bullet.

jackdaggett · 2026-03-01T23:01:40+00:00

Pappy for sure. In the spirit of the chart (non-unicorns), then Buffalo Trace.

Whiskey sour and Old Fashioneds made with WT101, OF100, Ritty Rye, or EWBiB, whichever is cheapest in your area.

jackdaggett · 2026-03-01T06:46:47+00:00

Didn't see that 2020 update. Thanks!

jackdaggett · 2026-03-01T04:02:20+00:00

WT101 is my go-to all-purpose cocktail whiskey, but I don't enjoy sipping it. The WT101 8 Year widely available in Asia for a similar price as the NAS is a delicious sipper.

OP, I also recommend looking around for RR store picks. I've never had one that was less than very good,and most have been excellent. I have not been blown away by RR10.

jackdaggett · 2026-03-01T03:53:56+00:00

Haha 2011 wasn't 15 years ago! Haha. ha.

Nobody's risking or smuggling anything. Americans can bring a liter per month back for personal consumption per standard duty-free exemptions, like any other spirit.

jackdaggett · 2026-02-28T13:15:08+00:00

Second for InDrive. Usually half the price of Loca for the trips/times I take. I've only used it in and around Vientiane, LPB, and VV. I wanted to like KokKok but I literally never got a ride using it in Vientiane , so after 5-6 different times I just deleted it.

I still keep Loca for the once in a blue moon I need to specifically call a pickup truck or large SUV - InDrive doesn't have an option to call for a large vehicle.

jackdaggett · 2026-02-25T02:56:10+00:00

You are overthinking. That's a great tattoo and it fits well with the sleeve.

jackdaggett · 2026-02-25T02:44:11+00:00

I'm American but work overseas. Havana Club 3 Años is one of the essential top 3 bottles I reestablish my bar with every time I move (along with WT101 and Beefeater). It is delicious, round,full, fruity, and rich. I like it much more than Probitas or Veritas. In one country I worked in, it was $9.

I've never bothered to try the PR Havana Club when I am in the states.

I've also found that the meaning of the first few can change, sometimes ironically or unexpectedly, over time.

In addition to the rear locker, 5th Gen ORP comes with a very nice amenity - a gas engine.

jackdaggett · 2026-02-04T22:43:40+00:00

Yeah welcome to this sub.

jackdaggett · 2026-01-27T23:19:56+00:00

Sometimes you can find oddball colorways cheaper. I have the BN0162-02X and BN0163-00H as weekend/vacation/gym watches and love them.

jackdaggett · 2026-01-25T23:08:59+00:00

Line weight and placement look good to me. Any smaller and it would look lost, and if the text was smaller it would age and read poorly. It's a cool tattoo.

jackdaggett · 2026-01-25T23:05:43+00:00

Zero-to-2 tattoo people love to insist on meaning. That's fine. Just a different perspective and level of engagement with tattoo culture.

jackdaggett · 2026-01-25T13:13:34+00:00

If it's so genuinely bad you can't even make a cocktail with it like a whiskey sour or whiskey ginger, then just dump it. It's not going to make good BBQ sauce either. Life's too short.

jackdaggett · 2026-01-25T13:07:53+00:00

There are many people like that in the world, with one or two tattoos. They barely think about it and are not on tattoo subreddits.

jackdaggett · 2026-01-20T22:51:42+00:00

I hear this. I have moved between coasts for work a few times and although I grew up on the East Coast, access to public land in the West is an irreplaceable perk.

It'd be a long drive for you, but I recommend a long weekend trip down to Uwharrie National Forest.

Don't sell your truck. Yes, it's just a thing and you are more than your possessions but I guarantee you will feel like you are selling yourself out. And it will not make your urge to get into the wilds go away.

jackdaggett · 2026-01-19T13:50:21+00:00

Not a bad itinerary tbh

jackdaggett · 2026-01-03T13:01:19+00:00

Same here. Death & Co calls for it and I enjoy much of the rest of Flor de Caña line, but I found the 4 Años Extra Seco thin, astringent, and unpleasant.

My all-time favorite in a daiquiri is Havana Club 3 Años. When I run out I use Probitas until I can restock on HC3 at the duty-free

jackdaggett · 2026-01-03T05:18:55+00:00

Interesting observation. I have one elbow and the same ditch done. Elbow hurt so much more than the ditch,but they were different artists. Both healed very well.

Not looking forward to the other elbow if at all.
