^^^The glasses might be nice but you can probably can get better booze in Chicago.

Sorry about the disappointing drink Al.

*Anvil* Decided I needed to take a break and make myself a real cocktail tonight. Zombie 1/2 oz passion fruit syrup 1/2 oz pineapple juice 1/2 oz lemon juice 1/2 oz lime juice 1/2 oz agave syrup 1/2 oz Dos Maderas 5+3 rum 1/2 oz Wrey & Nephew rum 1/2 oz Ron Zacapa rum 1 dash angostura This drink is fantastic! Maybe next time I will try it with both W&N and Smith & Cross.

Well, I suppose it is about time to sanitize the tank and get a new RO membrane since we have had the system for 4 years. I am not sure I trust the Sam's club RO system to kill whatever type of bacteria might have leaked into the water (guess we'll know more about the water when the tests come back tomorrow). I am really pretty tired of the month of April... it has been one thing after another. So burn down the house it is.

Nice! I do love the Touch.

Glad Ollie is doing well! We got a call this morning that there was a major water main break in the area and so now we have boil all the water until further notice (the tests are not complete yet). What a pain. Anyone know what to do with a RO water filtration system if contaminated water is introduced into the system? Bleach?

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Shared a bottle of Brewdog/Mikkeller Divine Rebel earlier today. It was interesting but I don't think I would want to drink more than a couple of ounces myself. Ok, so I didn't really like it, I guess that is what I am trying to say. Never got a chance to toast Jim last night so I doing it now with some Parker 27yr. Congrats Jim! I do like the Parker.

Nice shiny new car Todd.

Gave my last class lecture of the academic year! Got something big and black and rhymes with crack in the mail.

Just read about tenure Jim, that is great! I wish I had a nice drink to toast you with but I poured out the FB and made myself an Aperol + soda. Will break out the Parker 27 after I finish writing this lecture (although classes finished last Friday, I stupidly volunteered to make up a graduate class I missed when I was away at a conference ). Good choice of drink Al!

Woohoo Jim!!! Many congrats. I am sure you were not too worried at this point but it is always good to get the final approval.

Thanks for the suggestion Jim! Very little and very simple but not so good. I still have about 3/4 of it left.

I like that bag, bet it would be a bitch to carry though.

*Anvil* "A shot of Fernet-Branca" This bottle is going to last for a loooong time.

Happy Birthday!

Wishing Ollie a quick recovery.

Sure both...

More Charles & Charles Cab/Syrah blend.

Next time try Half & Half

CJ: Live your dream and nothing less! Greg: Can you give me directions and I time?

I'll be sure to stick with the Reserva. I have about 6 more bottles so I am set (for at least the next week ).

Charles & Charles Cabernet Syrah blend Pretty good for a very cheap wine.

Took my Epic to the store and the woman said that it was normal. I listened to her Evo and it sounded similar. Perhaps I am just too picky. The phone is starting to grow on me.

Thanks for the "thoughts" Brent. I am getting used to the size and having a physical keyboard is nice especially when walking and typing. I am most concerned about the call quality since I think I may have a bad phone. I think I will take to the Sprint phone and see if I can switch it out and if that helps. It sounds like the sound you would get from a speakerphone on a phone, not the handset. Also, the phone seems to be picking up too much background noise from the other callers side and it makes a kind of rustling annoying noise that I know will drive me crazy in the end.
