Looks like I have the lowest score in League 1 with 82 points (first pick of the draft) and the highest score of League 2 with 171 points (last pick of the draft). <scratches head>

I second Casa Noble. I haven't had the reposado but their CN anejo is my favorite anejo at this time. Having a variation of Marc's Not Theory. Unfortunately, I didn't have any Gran Classico bitters so I had to sub Campari. It is nice but I think this would have been better with a little less Campari. I especially like the grapefruit peel. 3/4 oz Reposado Tequila (sub Anejo tequila) 3/4 oz Gran Classico Bitter (sub Campari) 3/4 oz Cocchi Torino 1/4 oz simple syrup Stir and garnish with a grapefruit peel.

Jim that is one sweet bar!!! I am so jealous.

Oh. Awesome! I need to get back to rowing again. I am just waiting for summer to end (it was 99 here today and is supposed to be 100 tomorrow).

I <3 Brady. Can I use some of my extra points in league 2 in my league 1 game?

I have read some good things about Avion and Siembre Azul tequilas but have not tried them. Anyone have experience with either of these? Very nice Sazerac Jim!

Jim has had the Partida. I think it is the next tequila I am going to try (athough I will probably get the anejo). Sipping a little Black Bull 12yr after our steak dinner.

OK, after thinking about what Ari and Job said, I ended up ordering the Tokina 100mm f/2.8 macro from B&H on Sunday, it should be here Thursday. The 100mm lens will give me working distance. Also, I decided not to pay more for Nikon/VR since I figure that most real macro I will be using a tripod. I am not a fan of the extending lens, but I can probably put up with it to save ~$500. I may still end up with a Nikon 60mm for a macro/walkaround, we'll see. I wonder how the new Nikon 40mm macro would work as a close-up + walkaround. Probably not as sharp as the 60mm AF-S. I think I noticed that (taking into account that the lens length on the 40mm is shorter than that of the 60mm) the working distance of the 40mm and 60mm was about the same.

Not on Netflix streaming! Oh well, I suppose I can get it on disk when I run out of Dexter and Fringe.

Definitely my favorite city in Indiana. Aside from a great math department, great artwork on campus, and an excellent music school, IU has the world's best mechanical puzzle collection. If you haven't been there, it is a must see (Jerry Slocum Puzzle Collection).

Agreed... a most awesome cocktail. Better late than never:

No more Macallan here.

Whoa! Is this what you put on your Christmas list every year? Definitely approved. I love Margaritas.

It's ok... you'll probably still beat me.

Approved! I bought a small 14" charcoal grill to use in the backyard. Made by a local company in Houston (with most parts from the USA). No use using a large grill for a single steak.

Why do we have different scoring in the two leagues Jeff? Just to make it more fun. Wish I would have taken the risk and played Tate. He is doing pretty well.... ok well, really, the Texans are killing the Colts which makes me happy. Hehe.

Why is that?

Thanks for the very generous offer Chris but I wouldn't feel comfortable borrowing such a nice lens from somebody... in case something happened. I am pretty sure I would like the Nikon 105mm AF-S for Macro (and not as a walk around lens). The question would be whether I would be just as happy with the Nikon 60mm at least for a while for Macro and could use it as a walk around lens. Finally - HCers back to being enablers! I thought everyone was acting much too sane for a while. You really should be telling me to get a 200mm macro.

Very nice Mikey, Marc, and Jim! Just got home. This I will follow Mikey's lead with some Macallan 12yr - time to kill that bottle (don't have a pipe though ).

Went to see the play Ether Dome. It tells the story of the discovery of anesthesia. Pretty interesting.

I know you are trying. Texas is quite stubborn it seems.

Looks good Jeff. Mike: I cannot imagine having soup - it was 98 degrees today. Just had an avocado stuffed with cheese and fajita steak, battered and fried, and topped with ranchero sauce. It was delicious.

Does amazon.com or bhphoto have a 30 day return on lenses that are opened and used? Nice insect shot Jon.

Ritas.
