    It’s my favorite thing on that list.

    I dunno. WLW trumps the 12 by a mile to these taste buds. Both still exceptional, however  

    W12 USED to be in my daily drinker category.  Walk in to a store. Gonna buy some Weller. 12 is sitting there next to the WSR and the Antique. Gee...do I spend the extra $10 today?  

    Those were my quandaries.  Those were the days, right?  And it wasn’t really THAT fucking long ago. Still bitter about it.

    F if I know.  It was just what I read in the text.

    She's - quite literally - the most useless person I've ever met.  We've been out of town on vacation.  Just got back and went over to mow her lawn.  I guess, at some point, the grass got high, so she mowed a total of 2 rows of her back yard and gave up.  This, btw, comes from a 35 year-old pharamacist that works from home and has no children.

    Mowing her lawn, huh?

    The last family trip I took was for my mom’s 80th birthday. She rented this humongous beach house and ordered everyone to come for the week.  Her 4 kids and their spouses, her 12 grandkids and the spouses of the 4 that were married, and her 7 great grandkids.  We actually had a good time even though the trip included three trips to the emergency room.  Now she’s talking about doing it again next year for her 90th.  This time it would be 4 kids with 3 spouses, 12 grandkids with 6 spouses, and 9 great grandkids.  

    Shoot for 7 ER trips this time, just to keep things lively.

    Speaking of Buffalo Trace I’ve got an extra RHF, ETL, Blantons, WIlliam Larue Weller, and an extra W12 1.75L right now. I’m not interested in selling at the moment but would consider a barter either by the bottle or the lot. Currently looking for OFBB, Old Fitzgerald, and at the lower end 1910 because it is scarce lately (but by itself wouldn’t be enough).

     

    Adding because o know this thread gets read: I don’t flip. I just bought more than I can drink soon. if I don’t recognize your handle I’m not interested, so don’t join surly and DM me.

     

    Why not keep them and drink them?  Seeing as how you went to the trouble (or got lucky enough) to acquire them?

    I've decided that Weller 12 is nothing but a fucking racket. Turns out there were only 4 bottles. There was a list of other things, and no doubt they were good and hard to find. But I'm not a collector like lots of folks so didn't really care about anything else. 

    Sounds like a frustrating shitshow.

    Like you, I drink what I buy, and I don’t chase unicorns or pay secondary+ pricing. If I find a bottle of (what I consider) a higher-end rare product, I will snatch it up and enjoy the hell out of it. Otherwise, I am happy rotating thru my normal 3 daily drinkers as I find them. 

    It had been bemoaned so many times in this thread, but...this market is just completely out if hand. 

    I say this as I just got off the phone with BIL who has been hunting Elmer lately. Must be on his list, and I found an $80 bottle in the wild. He paid $200 for his last one. 

    Yep...he’s a Tater.

    The flagship products of Buffalo Trace right are Old Hype and Manufactured Scarcity Special Reserve.

     

    So freakin’ true.

    La Villita / King William neighborhood. Ton of restaurants and bars. Feast and Battalion. Very much your vibe. Liberty bar sucks ass, avoid. Lot of outdoor patio bar options. I would look for a BnB or small hotel in this neighborhood 

    pearl complex - lot of eating / drinking options. Mix between downtown / Southtown vibe. It’s becoming more and more touristy every year 

    blue star complex - brewery / bars. Right by king William. Very much your scene

    mi Tierra is you’ve never been, good margaritas and bakery. It’s a land mark. Avoid pico de Gallo restaurant . In general avoid downtown, except for a lunch spot or two

    alamo - #1 tourist spot in the state and its free. 

    taco haven on pressa for breakfast, this is a must. Houston chronicle food writer said this might be the best breakfast in Texas.

    hit me up for other places. I love SAi would move there tomorrow for the right pay / job 

    These are excellent recommendations for anyone wanting to avoid Riverwalk area or seek a bit of everything downtown. My post was definitely River-centric. Kudos!

    Sounds like the rest of the group hit their recommended daily allowance of slorch, and hit the eject button. LOlz.

    No kidding. Why not just let sleeping little bitches lie and go do your own stuff?  It was so horrible that you willingly cut vacation short to go back home. Sounds like someone’s stress levels are out of whack.

    2 days in San Antonio. Gf has never been here, what would be on your 48 hour to do list? 

    My typical SA trip consists of a downtown debauch. 

    Hit up The Esquire to get things started. 

    If you’re gonna so Mexican food downtown, my fave two options are Mexican Manhattan (old-school) or Rosario’s (more modern and lively). Acenar is on a lot of people’s lists as well, and a bit more upscale  

    Wanna hide out for a quiet drink on a comfy couch?  414 Bar in the Sheraton Gunter.

    Want an upscale bar/lounge, hit Bohannon’s Bar.  Stay for dinner if you feel like high-rollin’.  

    Irish Pub?  Waxy’s.  Also Durty Nelly’s, but only after you’re drunk and feeling rowdy.

    If your gf likes to shop, go ahead and do the Rivercenter mall.  Wander Alamo Plaza and take in the shops, the kitschy shit, and a few of the bars (or even the Alamo) if you wanna play tourist.   

    Your chick want some spa time?  Mokara.  

    Coffee in the morning?  Sip (that’s their name), right across the street from a fuckin’ Starbucks...

    Just one man’s preferences here.....

    Hmmm, kicked out of the house for fucking her Chemistry teacher because she was failing.  I wonder how she's going to pay for her rent now that she's on the street...

    On the plus side, from what we can see of the room, it doesn’t appear that it’s gonna take her long to “pack up her shit”.

    I bought it back in February and had planned to crack it for Texas Independence Day. Only it came late and i kind of just shelved it. Then decided to take it out for July 4th, only i left the damn thing at home. So decided to crack it tonight. I decanted into a mason jar as the cork is unsurprisingly toast. All in all, pretty tasty dusty Weller. Not dusty turkey good, but decent enough. 

    Seems like such an amazing find. Incredible. All shenanigans aside, thanks for sharing.

    You can’t post shit like that without a backstory.

    Did you buy that original?  Is there product in there?  Did you drink it long ago and keep the bottle?  Did you just crack it?  Or did you just find it in the house of the old man you just raped, killed, and moved into his house...?

    Context. Perspective. These are things we crave. 

    And also Bourbon.

    when it comes to trivial domestic shit like mowing the lawn, her deadline for having done all that shit is yesterday

    as in, "hey, can you mow the lawn by.... yesterday"

     

    when it comes to major decisions like vacation planning, renovating the house, considering a new job that involves actually fucking moving, her deadline is.... whenever's convenient.  [=actually never]

    such as, "oh i cant think about that stuff, its such a headache now, can you just let me watch 3 episodes of vampire diaries first to decompress (until its midnight and i complain its too late to think about that stuff)"

    Makes me shudder to consider the depths of her passive-aggressive ssues...

    Back at the house and allowing the BIL a pour of my Blanton’s Gold. It’s a good thing I get to fuck his twin sister later or I might not be so generous.

    Kinky!

    Coeur d'Alene, Idaho is pretty nice, if you're a nature lover who needs the comforts of a city close at hand.

    Grand Junction, Colorado is a pretty good spot from which to make day-trip forays in all four directions for cool stuff to do.

    I could probably vacation for a month in Portland, Maine, without getting bored.

    Likewise Mackinac Island on the Michigan upper penninsula.

    And if you haven't spent time in Quebec City, you need to.

    Plus, of course, the aforementioned Mexico City (though on the interior, I actually prefer either Queretaro or Guanajuato).

    Would love to hear more about your Portland, Maine experiences.

    I told myself I would save the RHF. That was a lie. I’m going through it faster than a dog shits crayons 

    I found one yesterday. Just one. Gonna finish a few open bottles before I crack it, but I expect it to go way too quickly.
