  1. If I had to pick between driving an E63 wagon badged as an E350 or driving a Challenger/Charger with the yellow shipping strips on the splitter I’d probably have to go with stepping in front of a bus.
  2. I had a Nissan Titan try to take me in the GT350 from the outside lane to a 45 toll on-ramp. I mean, no? But good on him for the effort or whatever.
  3. Up 70%, yay?
  4. I design this kind of thing for a living and feel like its shelf life is going to be short. But Hogwarts retirement land is going to get some people paaaaaid when millennials are ready to call it quits. I have a UT quidditch national champ (also a world champ) on staff so we should be positioned well for the engineering contract.
  5. Finally had this year’s Parker’s at Carversteak in Vegas, $65 but no regerts. The staff was entirely useless when it came to bourbon. Their AGM came over to talk to me about how they made their own Maker’s PS and to talk up their selection of single malt (?) bourbons. These are steep secondary but I need to track one down.
  6. I still haven’t had one that really blew me away, but I did have the Coy Hill (a 138.8) recently and that was a crΓ¨me brΓ»lΓ©e/brown sugar bomb.
  7. Easy one today, everybody is crushing. Wordle 294 3/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  8. No.
  9. That’s sounds pretty fun, but I’m not sure I could go that hard for like 3 days straight.
  10. Yesterday was awful, today wasn’t great but at least it didn’t make me want to quit the game. Wordle 283 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  11. Knob 12. Larceny BP is kind of dumb and I’ve been using it as a mixer to kill it.
  12. *3
  13. For real. Wordle 274 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟨🟩🟨🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  14. I could have done without the rain and our Uber driver ending up facing into traffic with horns blaring all around us not once, but twice and me demanding to be let out at the median at McKnee, but the show was lit.
  15. JFC, don’t wine my bourbon or Silicon Valley my Austin. I could see an earthy note or a pine note, but summer pine or high desert moss is a bridge too far.
  16. I did this after a Jester King bomber, a wine tasting and a pour of fine bourbon today, because spring break. Honestly it brought some of the original magic back for me. Wordle 267 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  17. Anybody catching white bass on either the Llano or Colorado around LBJ? We are up at the lake for a few days and tried the Llano slab yesterday and whiffed hard with zero sign of any fish. Well I take that back, my son did catch one little 10-12” guad on conventional tackle while I was fly fishing.
  18. It’s a $1 more than ER10 and $2 more than Buffalo Trace on the menus and 2-2.5 the retail price is those. It’s cheap compared to its secondary value on that menu while the other two are wildly overpriced.
  19. We did a boil this past weekend with crawfish from HEB (which was open) and had 5 gallons of dead ones out of 45 lbs and quite a few stupid little ones. It was still good fun, but damn.
  20. I think it’s $5 plus 25% of the bottle price at low retail except they were high AF after a smoke break when it came time for the Eagle Rare price. Enjoy your Stagg Jr.
  21. Not sure on that, but #5 is overpriced trash. Call it middling Barton with some Dickel notes mixed in. It’s not cohesive at all and tastes like money grab with a side of getting Specs’d.
  22. Easy like a Monday morning. Wordle 254 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  23. Had my first try of an Elijah Craig Barrel Proof private barrel and have to say damn, that’s good. Absolutely zero peanut compared to the heavy note you find in some Heaven Hill products and pretty comparable to a decent Stagg Jr batch. Alamo City picks almost always go hard, but this easily exceeded expectations. The only bit to pick would be a pretty heavy ethanol nose on the 130 proof at only 8 years.
  24. Could have had another two, but struck out swinging guessing. Wordle 252 5/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
