  1. Back on topic, have any of you tried Unforgotten yet? The name is super cringy, but If it’s more like older Bourye and less like Forgiven then I could see it being good.
  2. Sounds like something my wife would say.
  3. If any internet tough guys want to prove they’re not flippers and meet up for a retail transaction of Knob Creek 18, I’m your huckleberry. Hell, I might even bring you a Knob 15 just to prove I’m a nice guy.

    One Wheel

    I’m guessing that it’s hard work, just like dirt biking is surprisingly strenuous. But if I’m doing something that requires a helmet it’s going to be riding a motorcycle.
  5. Went to Twin tonight to grab a couple of bottles of French white to have with a side of King Salmon tomorrow. Dude was helpful and nice so I asked if they had any interesting bourbons around and he coughed up a barrel pick ER 10. It’s good, no blending necessary.
  6. My wife hunts with a Howa 270 win that I bought her for our first anniversary (I’m a hopeless romantic) for like $329 with a scope and I do love their bolt guns. I’m wanting to go a bit sexier on this one but I’ll check it out.
  7. I do like the finer things, but I don’t trust Aggies. I’ll check on the Christensens though.
  8. I’m ok I guess? I have a Ruger Ranch in 300 blk and it’s a great little gun for picking off does. I just want something that feels a bit more satisfying in the hand. The Q Fix and that Savage Axis Precision look cool, but I’m wanting a more conventional gun vs an AR-mag bolt machine.
  9. I’m about 6 months man bun-free so that opens up all the options. I guess I’d lean Creedmoor because I have plenty of weird chamberings already that make it hard to find ammo.
  10. I want to buy a 6.5 bolt rifle this year because of largely made up reasons, but nominally because most of my rifles are way overpowered for central Texas whitetail hunting. I’m definitely set on a bolt vs AR platform and would like something with either a laminate or fiberglass stock, no walnut or crappy plastic. My brand loyalty is nonexistent and I have Weatherby, Ruger, Howa and Savage bolt guns currently. Price range in the $1000-$2000 range is what I’m expecting. Hit me with your best options.
  11. I thought JT Daniels would be about 28 by now and couldn’t believe he was still in college. But apparently he’s just 22 and Covid has made the last couple years feel like an eternity. Good luck to these QBs or whatever.
  12. All set on the EHT, but I still think it’s a better use of funds than a $90 ER pick.
  13. Ha, wow. I’ll let my spare six different ER picks (no distiller selects) go for the low low price of 750 or a 19 GTS or a PHC wheat.
  14. Eh, probably not. They routinely go for $80 secondary but after doing a blind with more than a dozen different ER picks I would say they’re all pretty close and generally good. On average they’re maybe 10% better than standard ER. I have I have a bunch of these sitting around waiting to get opened and I normally just crack a basic ER instead.
  15. So that’s the shelving you need to store OFBB. But he went 6 in a row, 6 again, then 5, then 4. Clearly he should have gone 6,6,5,5. Don’t trust him now, would not buy.
  16. Hadn’t played in a bit, coming back in strong. Wordle 427 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  17. I’ve driven from CA to Geurrero Negro twice to surf. That town itself kinda sucks but there are just endless vacant point breaks north of it where you can camp, surf and fish in almost solitude. Highly recommend. I also don’t mind Todos, but it’s been a few years (‘19 I think) and maybe now it’s overrun. At that time we went to a street carnival in their old town square and ate $0.50 tacos with $1.00 beers and watched a band play off the alternator of a running ‘94 Suburban with maaaaybe three other white people in attendance. The Baja coast is pretty close to paradise and is something like 90% undeveloped which is the complete opposite of Southern California.
  18. It’s like what HH Bottled in Bond wishes it could be. That extra proof really makes it shine.
  19. That OE 7 is very good. Saw some for $27 up in Alaska this summer and grabbed it, had to be some kind of pricing mistake.
  20. This is the way. We finished our place in Alaska last year and will be spending summers up there and winters somewhere warm and probably not in America when the time comes. I just want to be near the water where I can do a little fishing and a lot of reading and walking and eating good food. Maybe baha north of Cabo, but I’m open. Buying definitely seems like a waste of time and money.
  21. It’s pretty decent, but the Lucky 13 MGP bottles sitting on the shelf last year at $105 blow it out the water.
  22. Back in Juneau for another run at salmon and halibut. Spent tonight at the beach in like 65* sunshine watching my boy warm up on the pink salmon with his 8 wt. Tomorrow we’ll be out 35-40 miles into Icy Strait wrecking the silver salmon. IMG_2372.MOV
  23. Maybe it’s boomer humor from before I got there in ‘84.
  24. Ha, maybe in the winter.
