    Could be it.  I recall the tie cutting and a slide.

    There was the Old San Francisco and Traildust at Walnut Hill/35.  Both were across from Don Carter's.  Old San Francisco is now a tit bar and the Trail Dust is a car dealership

    Do it right and go to the grocery store too with a big giant list.  Then hit a bar, drink a beer or three, go to the grocery store and speed shop for the list.   I guaran-damn-tee that I can do a grocery shop trip, with every item on the list purchased in half the time (or less) than 99% of women. 

    You following me every Sunday?

  3. Spec's near me is ok.  I've developed a pretty good relationship with the bourbon guy and the manager.   And they typically don't try to push anything unwanted on me.
    The bourbon selection is ok, shelves have pretty much what all the other stores have at any given time, but from time to time I'm able to get some good bottles from them.  So far this year I've been able to grab Old Weller Antique, ER, Blanton's, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof.  But they've passed me over on their shipments of Rock Hill Farms and EHT 4 Grain.  Guess I don't spend enough with them.  

    The Goody Goody next door is a different story, I've developed a great relationship with the Manager.  He texts me whenever he gets anything allocated. I've been able to get OFBB, Rock Hill Farms, KOR, Elmer T Lee, numerous Blanton's, ER, W12 and OWA the past year.  He's a really good guy and I nurture the hell out of that relationship.  I will give him a bottle every now and then when I come across stuff.  He takes care of me because he knows I drink what I buy and don't flip it on the secondary market.

  4. the balcones rye is a strange one.  your'e either going to hate it or love it.  It's very chocolate heavy.  Wasn't a fan of it straight, but thought it made a decent OF.

    Opened a bottle of Balcones Bourbon this afternoon and poured a few fingers into a glass.  After an hour or so, I took a closer look at the writing on bottle.  64.5 proof - well that explains a lot.  I think I'll be starting the weekend off with a nap.

    Which bottle?  The cask proof true blue?

    Local shop just posted that they have E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof.  (1) Is it hard to find?  I've never seen it.  (2)  Is it worth a buy?  (3) if so, what's MSRP?  Google says about $70.  Worth it?

    Yes to all.    Go get it asap.

    Cheddar's was the shit when they had the monte cristo

    Got dragged to Cheddar's the other night and it's on their menu and I thought, how could they screw that up?   Well they fucking did.  Way too much batter and it was undercooked and greasy as fuck.  Just made me miss the hell out of Bennigan's Monte Cristo.  Now that was a thing of excellence.

    Took my kid to Magic Time Machine up in Addison about 5 years ago after her first day of Kindergarten and it still goes down as the worst meal I've ever had in my life. The meal I had there about 15 years was probably second worst.  I've got no idea how that shit hole stays open.

    Absolutely agree.  That place is fucking terrible and the restaurant itself is filthy.

    What superfluous, selfish thing are you gonna buy after you don't have to cut that check anymore? I told my wife I was gonna buy a boat.

    Seriously considering replacing my Jeep Wrangler I foolishly sold 10 years ago.
