If you had asked more than three weeks ago then it would've been: Tullamore Dew 18yr Single malt it is quite exquisite.


Nice. Waffling between being a Bourbon guy and a Irish Whiskey guy. Bought a bottle of Midddleton’s 20 yo. If that’s what whiskey is supposed to taste like then I’m all in. Smooth as a Kris Jenkins jumper.


I go between Scotch and Irish. Though I rarely have a bottle in my collection, Japanese whiskeys are outstanding and worth a try if you get a chance. Try Dingle batch 2 or 3 if you get a chance as well. Batch 4 is average in my opinion.

Had a buddy who was a local Traeger dealer out of his garage 10 years or so ago before you could buy them in the big box stores. I loved when he called us over for a meal but I couldn't get into smoking food myself.

Funny, I go back and forth between bourbon and Irish.

Bought a new roof for the house in February.

X4 Foundations...space game. Building a trading empire in a galaxy...far, far, away. Becoming the greatest corporate force in the Galaxy. Naming all of the R&R sleeze stations after all the great WestPac "watering holes"...Bugis St, Olongapo, Wan Chai, 4 Corners (Koza), Hotel St, Green St, the Honch (Kanagawa), Shinjuku (Kabukicho), etc. Not following the storyline though, playing by "gtmo rules".

Bought these Carlos Santos - Black Captoe Oxfords in late April...Love 'em :D .

Last fall, I got a good deal on a Weber natural gas grill that tapped right into gas line in the house (so no refill bottles). With our moderate temps in Savannah, i use it 3-5 days a week, year round.

A couple weeks ago, I bought a Genesis G80 car. It's a pretty sweet ride. It comes with 3 years of maintenance and they come get the car, leave me a loaner, and then bring it back. I'll let you know how that goes when i need it.

For me it was everything I did NOT BUY. We lost our jobs and all our income for three months and had to survive on savings, cash envelopes weekly. Entertainment was long walks and bike rides, reading books, playing cards and cooking good healthy food. Made us look at all the useless crap, restaurants and alcohol we had wasted our money on before the pandemic. Best thing I bought were the 400 piece Dollar Tree puzzles and 53-cent cornbread mixes.
