    keep us in prayer tonight. 
    Lil BgD had a seizure tonight at dinner and we had an ambulance ride to Children’s.
    2 more seizures here.   
    Had a cat scan and it’s all normal. Gave him some oral anti seizure medicine and admitting him overnight and will have an eeg in the morning.
    Don’t know what’s causing them since it’s not fever related.  He previously had 2 febrile seizures a few years ago.
    Dr isn’t overly concerned since they are about a minute long and he’s coherent immediately after.
    Ugh.  Scary shit for a 5 year old to go through.

     

    Well we finally have answers.

    MRI didn’t show anything but an EEG did.   Lil Man has epilepsy with a tendency for General seizures.  Not great news but it’s treatable.  Twice daily doses of Depakote should prevent seizures from happening.   50/50 shot of him outgrowing it by puberty.  

    I’m handling it better than Mom is.  She had a terrible time after seeing him in a seizure.  Most helpless feeling in the world for a parent.  You just can’t do anything until they come out of it.

    I’m just relieved we know something now and have a plan going forward.

    Out to dinner last night, wrapping up, boy playing with his brother on the kindle. Wife gets up to go to bathroom and starts walking away from the table. Boy jumps up with his kindle and starts taking creaper pics from the backside. "What the hell are you doing?" Little shit eating grin. Little Burt in the making. 

    so where are the pics?

  4. $45 per. There is a sign up in gift shop about how they won’t undercut liquor stores. Not sure if that’s the standard price in a store or not.

    Is there anything special on the label saying it’s from your barrel?
  5. The reason for the trip was to go dip our bottles at Maker’s Mark. If you’re not an ambassador, you should sign up. Roughly six years later they invite you to come dip bottles once your barrel has matured.

    My barrel matures in Nov 2020. What do they sell you the bottles at?

  6. One of my many white whales. I've never seen it in the wild. 
     

    I’ve seen it once and bought it. Drank that one way too quick. Got another bottle as a gift and bought one from the poster here and from Shag that bought a hellacious collection and he was nice enough to sell it at retail.
    Taking my time savoring those 2 bottles. It’s one of my favorites. So smooth. If you’re in the DFW area, I’ll give you a pour.
  7. Liked it so much I just put a bottle of Pikesville Rye and 375 ml of Antica Torino with about 10 dashes of bitters in my 2 ltr oak barrel and gonna let it sit for a month .  Had one at restaurant tonight that was barrel aged and it was great.


    So I sampled the Manhattans I’ve had in my small aging barrel tonight. Holy shit. Incredible. Can’t wait to taste it again in a couple of weeks.

  8. Granada was always good. Reunion Arena was awesome and fucking loud.
    Current places, The Bomb Factory is great and Billy Bob’s is still a good time. We go see The Toadies there every year on Dec 30th.

    What is your take on YKY? This little store by me has blantons for $61, ER 1.75L for $61, and YKY for $72. It really kind of sticks out since it’s not really their fare; they have huge jugs of box wine, big Jose Cuervo signs, etc. but the dudes are nice and their prices for ER, BT, sazerac, EW single barrel, larceny are lower than the city by 5-10 bucks and the rest of the queens competition by a couple bucks.

    My only hesitation on the YKY is that it looks dusty as hell. Same for the ER 1.75. Anyone have experience with buying from less high end stores? I know it’s just dust but could that be any indication that their storage methods might not be the best or the bottle could have turned? Worst case scenario I buy a skunk bottle but I’d like to avoid if possible. Full disclosure, I’m a beer drinker so no clue if the same rules apply for bourbon, please be kind surly on my ignorance.

    He only seems to be about $10 higher than retail on the blanton's and ER.   I'd buy him out and get to know him.
