My aeronaut was delayed due to "adverse weather conditions."

^I like this.

Definitely.

Bought a 5.5qt Le Creuset dutch oven today and used it to make an awesome jambalaya.

Lovin the pics and sound bites Jeff.

Sounds good ^This Been drinking Ten Fidy and DuganA during the game.

I agree that it is lusher, and quite a bit smoother but still quite sweet. I like it better than the 7 star, just not sure it is twice as good. The bottle is real pretty though. Alka Seltzer doesn't sound so good. Tonight I made two more Anvil drinks: Knickerbocker 2 oz Vizcaya rum 1 tbsp Monin rasberry syrup 2 tspn Senior Curacao 1/2 oz lime juice I really liked this drink although I do admit that it was really sweet and girlie. Rum Swizzle I finally got some Falernum so I was able to try this one. 2 oz Gosling's Black Seal Rum 3/4 oz John Taylor's Velvet Falernum 3/4 oz lime juice Didn't like this one nearly as much. My guess is that the Falernum has quite a bit of ginger in it and I am not a big fan of ginger. Guess I am not going to be a big fan of all the drinks with Ginger Beer in them.

Metaxa Grande Fine

Got some Metaxa Grande Fine and other stuff

Yeah but woodwind instruments should last forever... I guess that would be true of the stone if you don't use it.

OK, that is a insanely priced stone.

I think I should buy some.

Wow, that is an expensive stone.

That happens sometimes. Speaking of Metaxa, how does the Grande Fine compare to the 7 star? I find that the 7 star has too much of a sweet/raisin-ey taste to it. Is the Grande Fine more of the same but just smoother or it is less sweet?

Metaxa 7

Does it involve a mug and soldering iron?

Couldn't find the original reference to Dinny's Sweet and Hot Manhattanlike drink so I poured myself a Van Winkle Lot B, Carpano Antica, and cherry bitters. Was good and now I am sleepy.

Nice Scott!!!

I think I will do that (keep the water running a bit during the coldest times of the night). By the way, do you just need to drip one faucet? This is what we did last year when we had a hard freeze - the same time we woke up and noticed that our neighbors sprinkler system was spraying water all over the street because it froze. I just went and covered all the exposed pipes outside and tried to cover up the vents to under the house (with towels) that get the most wind (we have a pier and beam house and most of the pipes under the house are not insulated).

I read that below freezing is ok (at least if it it just overnight) for pipes but when it gets around 20 (at least in southern states where houses aren't built for cold weather) overnight, you have to start worring. -- Sent from my Palm Pre using Forums

Everyone says that it looks even better in person - cannot wait to get it.

I was just trying to decide if I should wrap up the exposed pipes and leave water dripping tonight. It should stay above 20 here so I think we are ok but you never know.

I will probably just get something locally at Microcenter (maybe something like the Timbuk2 case that is in the Freestyle - that works well probably because of the soft fabric inside). I don't need anything special... just something to keep the dirt and crud out and something that isn't too bulky. @Mike and Dinny: The Cache size 1 and ipad cache do seem to be different so maybe the ipad cache is slightly larger.

Except I won't be there.

Now I am confused. I have canceled my order for the Cache for now.
