I heard a Minister say once when ask how to deal with stupid.

"Save your money and buy good Whisky".

 

My Doctor asked me if I drink.

"Sure", I say.

"Do you ever get headaches"?

"Once in awhile".

"Buy better Whiskey".

 

Who am I to argue with professionals?

 

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

Weller Reserve (Green Label)

 

What's your favorite?

My preferred is Myers Dark Jamaican Rum...…….But any Dark will do, Lemon Hart, Lambs etc. I have a prized bottle of Bundaburg Dark Rum from Australia.

Years ago I had a gal pal that went to the island twice a year. Always brought me back a bottle of Jamaican 191. I could never tell when that girl was mad at me or trying to take advantage. :crackup: Whiskey man now.

Flavored whiskey or brandy, mostly neat. I like margaritas too. The waistline doesn’t.

I guess I must have been a Pirate in a previous life.

Recently tried Hotel Tango. First US combat wounded veteran owned distillery in the world. Smooth and delicious!

So I'm trying a nice Evan Williams Single Barrel last night killing a few hours and this Black Widow Spider started chatting me up. 

 

I let her ramble for an hour or so. She seemed a nice sort. At least she is still employed. 

 

Think she said she was a Web Designer.

I tired to make hand sanitizer today. Came out Jello Shots. They said 1/3 alcohol and 2/3 Aloe. Did they mean something other than Jack Daniels?

Ever read these whiskey review sites? http://whiskyadvocate.com/

 

There are dozens but that one is easy to navigate and has allot of reviews. It's the tasters the amuse me. Laugh my butt off reading them. I suppose it's like perfume people. One in a hundred million people actually could tell the difference. Less would actually care. Most go, hu????

 

In my early 20's, a long time ago, a close friend and wine maker in his 70's then gave me a two minute run down on wine. "Selection is simple", he said, "Drink it and if you like it, it's a good one". He added, "Anything past that is snobbery". 

 

A 46 year old Bowmore $13,500 single malt. Bottled in 1964 there are but 8 bottles in the USA. Imagine spending that sort of money, pouring a glass. Then.....meh! Then....a $12 bottle of Evan Williams black label and hummmmmm. I see why it's on the shelf of every dive in America. :crackup:

Had my second bottle of Weller Reserve (green label)

Meh!

Disappointing. 

How could two bottles be so different?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
