  1. The lodge at the top of Lanai is my favorite place in the world.
  2. Eagle Rare in Austin for $29. Saw several bottles on the shelf, and I only bought two.
  3. I have a Makita. Love it. Milwaukee was the standard.
  4. I was a freshman engineer in 87 too. I had Gleason, but don't remember the guy you're talking about.
  5. His son definitely went to Doss w/ my son. His wife is the college counselor at St. Stephen's, so he may go there.
  6. Same here. If Laguna ever goes up for sale, I'm sure Westwood CC will be first in line to buy it. They are severely limited on space and impervious cover.
  7. One of the boys goes to LASA w/ my son. I've seen Kelly around the school a couple of times. Her voice is sublime.
  8. Thanks for the tips! Luckily, I'm going with my wife who used to live on Maui. She's got us booked for a lot of what you suggested.
  9. I'm heading to Kauai on Saturday. My first time on this island. Staying at Timbers Kauai.
  10. No blind test. We just went through the lineup (a few times). We all agreed the WLW was the best of the bunch. I thought the birthday bourbon and 1920 were next, followed by the EHT. W12 was as smooth as ever, but next to those higher octane bourbons wasn't a fair fight The OF rye was good, but not special. The Old Portrero is a true 100% rye. It was clearly the most unique of the bunch. It had a very distinctive nose and taste. If I were a more seasoned rye drinker, it probably would have been more enjoyable. Very strong grain smell and taste. We we had a blast.
  11. Here's the selection that we had Saturday night. My friend brought the WLW down from Boise where he won it in a lottery.
  12. The one and only Daddy Warbucks.
  13. It was not at my Twin Liquors (Lake Austin). In fact, they had no insight into the OF Rye. I found mine at the Austin Wine Merchant on W. 6th street.
  14. Kaizer (or anyone else) - do you know what that piece of equipment on the bottom left of your last image is? I'm watching them working on the building at 5th and Brazos and they have something very similar, but it never seems to get used. Just curious.
  15. I just picked up a bottle of OF Rye and a bottle of Old Portrero Rye. Plan to try both this Saturday. Edit: $26 in Austin
  16. How many days has it been since I was born? How many days 'til I die?
  17. The US Patent Office is beautiful this time of year.
  18. I've seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire that I was standing inMet the devil in Seattle and spent 9 months inside the lion's denMet Buddha yet another time and he showed me a glowing light withinBut I swear that God is there every time I glare in the eyes of my best friend
  19. My son is a sophomore at LASA right now (via Kealing). He loves it. I'm counting on AISD not being able to make any decision before he graduates. My daughter went Murchison, Anderson and it all went very well.
  20. Yeah. It's just ok to me. It was recommended to me by my guy at Twin. It doesn't stand out to me as memorable.
  21. Had some W.L. Weller special reserve on Saturday night for the 1st time. I see now what all the fuss is about. It was surprisingly better than what I've been drinking over the last couple of years.
  22. Just wanted to brag on my little girl. She got in at UVa !! I'm hoping some financial aid comes through, but this is a big dream come true (for both of us).
