This is not without reason.

I ordered both the Pro Speed Belt and the Thin Skin belt (and planned to send the one I didn't use back but forgot). I think the Pro Speed belt would be useful if you had a lot of gear on the belt. It has quite a bit of padding. I was just carrying a D90 + 18-200 in the Digital Holster 20 and an 18oz water bottle + water bottle holder on the belt so the Thin Skin belt was perfectly fine for me. I can take some pictures of the two belts if you are interested in the difference. The Pro Speed Belt seems to be more popular.

I am little behind on my drink postings. From Friday night, a Martilla, following Al. 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1 1/2 ounces añejo tequila 1 ounce dry vermouth 3 teaspoons maraschino liqueur 1 lemon twist, as garnish A little too lemon-y for me. I would probably only use 1/2 tsp of lemon zest next time. Last night: I made this for my friend who is visiting. Don't know the name - we made it up. She really liked it. It was a little too sweet for my taste but if you like that sort of thing, it was good. 3/2 oz Luksusowa vodka 1 oz St Germain elderflower liqueur 1/2 oz Mathilde pear liqueur (I either used 1/2 oz or 3/4 of an ounce but I forgot to write it down) 1/4 oz lemon juice (either used 1/4 oz or 1/2 oz) I was in the mood for tequila so I decided to make a Margarita with elderflower liqueur substituted for the orange liqueur. It was a bad idea, the tequila and elderflower liqueur didn't go too well together. Still drinkable though. 3/2 oz Herradura tequila 3/4 oz St Germain elderflower liqueur 1/2 oz lime juice

Wow, that is cheap!

I should hope not!

Ken, I have some Tito's in my freezer but haven't tried it yet. I shall open it up and try it.

2oz Herradura Anejo tequila + 3/4 oz Clement Creole Shrubb orange liqueur + 1/2 oz lime juice margarita. This does not suck.

Avery Maharaja Imperial IPA

Looks good. Will there be a way for us to "watch" the other league? Probably not I guess

That's ok, you tried. I heard that you might like to sip a bit of scotch every now and again.

Thanks Al, Dan, and Jim, for the suggestions!

That sounds good (to have two leagues and have Colin draw names). I would be happy to either be in both or just one league (whatever works best).

I have a friend that is coming to stay with me for a week. She likes kinda girlie drinks (no whiskey or gin - only vodka or rum based). I need recommendations for Vodkas since I basically no nothing about them. I am sure that Marc and Jim can name a few. Are potato vodkas supposed to be the best? Also, if any one knows any good recommendations for vodka drinks, that would be much appreciated!

That is so weird (that the grey and black would be sized different). I think I will go to a local store and try them. After wearing them all today, I think a smaller size might be too snug widthwise so I made have to stay with the extra room in the toes.

Yummy, I like Manhattans. Having a Stone Ruination IPA for IPA day! Cheers.

Whoa that sucks, how did that happen?

Oooh, that will match the Rachael Ray Lasagne Lover Carrier set I was going to get him.

Oops, I missed that part - I am tired today. I am drinking lots of coffee.... still sleepy.... zzzzzz.

Adobe Lightroom 3 (student/teacher edition) - just got my academic status verified.

Looks good, will try tonight (although I only have blanco and anejo, no reposado).

^This! One reason why August in Texas is not so bad.

That looks good.

Of course, I should have guessed.

Ok, I thought they were supposed to be as snug as the VFF. I have been wearing them for about an hour now and they feel pretty good. I like the roomy toe box. I am thinking that they are going to get pretty smelly without socks (hopefully not as funky as the VFF) so I will probably wear them with socks. I think I am going to get a second pair (one for gym, one for home). Usually I weight lift in VFF but I think these would work just as well since they have a pretty flat and solid sole.

I was surprised to hear this since the voltage output is different on all 3: 1) 45W, 14.4V 2) 60W, 16.5V 3) 85W, 16.5-18.5V But I was able to find this page that does seem to confirm it. Can someone explain why we can use any of them? I couldn't find any good explanation. I guess the computers are smart enough to only draw what they need? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2346 I have an extra 85W adaptor for my MBP at work and would love to be able to use this with the MBA regularly (without any bad side effects like ruining the battery or something like that).
