  1. There’s a bottle of Yippee Ki-Yay at TW Mueller for $80 if anyone wants it.
  2. No shit. Yes, it's going to be hot. Yes, it's been said 4 billion times already. The heat discussion in this thread feels like I stepped into a discussion with my mother-in-law where it's just me listening to her complain about the same thing over and over until we finally get to leave.
  3. Weird. OWA was $40 last week at Deb's.
  4. I look forward to the Austin Super Regional thread.
  5. You might be surprised. There are store managers out there who don't subscribe to the philosophy of holding on to their allocated bottles for only the biggest of spenders in their store. I've landed WLW & Handy in addition to ETL at my local shop with good timing. And I know @Bozo_Casanova has gotten his hands on incredible bottles by forming a friendly relationship, not by out-spending other customers. Although he might be outspending other customers, I'm not sure.
  6. I passed on one yesterday for $40. I’m still kinda kicking myself, but I think I can get it for $30 and I had already dropped more than I intended on yesterday’s run.
  7. Sneaky good choice. I’ve had a few top notch cocktails there as well.
  8. I’m running out of shelf space. Had to start another bourbon section in the pantry.
  9. I picked up a bottle of ER for $35 and snagged the 1792 Barrel Proof for $50. I may have to go back for the RY10 after work. They have 2 bottles. Also had some hit or miss prices on: 4R SiB Barrel Strength W12 ($70!) Weller Antique EHT Small Batch Elijah Craig Small Batch Barrel Proof 2 more 750 bottles of ER as well as a 1.75 bottle that I didn't ask the price.
  10. Question. Is the Rebel Yell 10yr worth $70?

    Looks awesome. Btw, the golf thread is under the Hobbies board. You've actually posted on the thread.
  12. Odds are good that @BTW knows your brother, assuming he lives in Midland.
  13. The Specs on airport has turned into a pile of garbage over the last few years. Their beer started to crater first, and then got somewhat better, right about in time for their whiskey to go to shit. Not to mention their staff has gotten significantly more dickish and now lazily push the same gross shit over and over. Found 2 new stores that stock a great selection of beer and booze (specifically whiskey) and treat customers like customers instead of like people there wasting their time. I most likely won’t step foot into spec’s from here on out.
  14. Olive & June got close for me, but I agree, my best restaurant in Austin choice was never an Italian place.
  15. Communal seating has a time and place for me. I've really enjoyed it, and I've also not been in the mood for it. What gets me more than the communal tables at Sway is not being able to hear the person next to me because it's so loud in there. I'll sit at a big table with people, but I'm not into yelling in a restaurant in order to have a conversation. Unless things have changed, if I'm not sitting outside or at the bar, I'm pretty out on Sway. Which sucks, because I think the food is top notch.
  16. While it makes sense in theory, I agree with On Board in that time and process are both important here. Speeding up the process seems a bit like reheating food in the microwave vs. the oven. They're both going to get to the same temp. The microwave is going to do it a lot faster and the oven is going to make it taste and feel a lot better. Or I could smoke a brisket at 350 and get it to temp much faster than doing so at 220, but I know which brisket I am going to want to actually eat.
  17. True or not, it’s definitely a talking point during the Garrison tour. “Our 4/5 year is the same as someone else’s 8/10 year”
  18. That's a good order. I usually go Strait Plate: Hold the onions. Add japs and an extra fried egg.
  19. Nicklaus finished 2nd in more majors than he won. He's garbage, amirite?
  20. Shadow Glen has one thing and one thing only going for it. The weekend cart girl.
  21. I'd like to amend my position. He's completely lost out there.
  22. Same. I still have a good feel/feedback with the p790s, but I'm not killing myself with slight misses like I was with the 33s. If I can ever get my HC down to ~2-3, I would love to put mizuno blades back into play. Got a ways to go, though.
  23. Demolished? I'm fairly certain he's been 1 or 2 back of the cut the last couple years. Despite not playing Sawgrass at an expected Spieth-level, his worst round is 75. Jason Day has an 81 non-weekend round out there within the last 2 years. Looking closer at his last 6 rounds during the stretch of back-to-back-to-back missed cuts, he's gone 75-72-72-71-73-75. So, he's got 2 bad rounds and 4 decent rounds. How many elite level guys on tour right now haven't had a Th/Fri round like that on this course over the last 3 years? DJ's length off the tee aside, Jordan is the best tee-to-green player on tour. He hasn't played his best golf at Sawgrass, but let's not pretend that he's completely lost out there. If his putter is dialed in, we are talking about the best golfer on the planet. That is why there is optimism.
  24. If you want a forged hollow club, the TM P790 is about half the cost of the comparable PXG irons. I've been playing them for the last couple months after a failed M1 trial. They are a great blend of distance/forgiveness and feel. I've got an old set of Mizuno MP33s that I absolutely love from a look, feel, shot-playing standpoint. But I lose 10-15 yards on a toed 6i shot with those, where I might lose 3-5 yards at most on the same miss with the P790s. Bob Parsons is actually in the middle of a long drawn out patent infringement with TM over the P790s. He claims 11 infringements while TM claims 7 infringements against PXG in their counter-suit.
