Woodford Reserve is good stuff. Went to the distillery once. They let us taste test as much as we wanted.

Hope the realization is greater than the anticipation when I fire this up in a few days. Never tried Wagyu before.
I'm eagerly awaiting your results . . .

Yum, have heard good things about the batch proof, but the state stores in PA want a stupid amount of money for it -
Hehe....no. Too rich for me. The ANK won't be going anywhere anytime soon. It has outstanding synergy within my rig.
Besides, I have yet to even hear one. There might be one I could audition at next year's SWAF but even then....that's a lot of coin.

Yeah. Not really a great deal here in Texas either. Think it was $149.

I couldn't help myself also upgraded my keyboard to a Blackwidow V4 75% mechanical w/hot swappable key caps & switches to go with the new mouse. I sure spent a lot for a keyboard and mouse but they feel sooo nice.

I have used the KJ but the results left a lot to be desired. The KJ will work but ain’t nothing like a proper pizza oven at 900 deg. In general I don’t use the KJ all that much anymore. My Pitts and Spitts pellet pooper has taken much of the workload off the KJ. It’s just too damn easy, not nearly as fun but time is money nowadays for me2 Channel in my home attic/bar/man cave

If they don't cook a Digiorno pan crust or Tombstone well, both very gourmet by the way, I'm not interested.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Yeah I did. I got a New Guitar amp and Cabinet, which. I got another EVH 5150 III 50 watt 6L6 head and cabinet. I owned V1 back in the day and now V2.
Here is the original one I owned back before they fixed channel 1 and 2 volume and gain issues.
Also got a new Multi effects unit that Came out just a few years ago. I'm a big Tc Electronics fan and this unit is pretty awesome.
