Arrived today. Now I see what all the fuss is about.

Wow. You might push me over the edge to buy an old Ranger and refurbish it.

Be nice to Tipptruck.

...are both terrible. Oh, I thought we were supposed to complete a sentence with the title.

Step kids = free child labor. Winning.

Well. After a long search, dumb luck, and simply being at the right place at the right time, I have something very special inbound from Japan...

Today my Whistle Pig 15 year should be arriving at the office.

I'm no bourbon expert. Obi Wan 00 Mod is the bourbon guru.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for your family, and, on the bright side, your mom did not suffer if it was sudden.

I actually sent that contraption back. It was way too big and bulky. Can't actually remember the last time I had some taco bell. That's not real Mexican food. Hell it may not be real food period.

I'm not much of a white wine drinker myself, but Grgich Hills makes incredible chardonnay, as does Pahlmeyer and Jayson. Meiomi is also a very good Pinot Noir, and not too expensive. I'm literally surrounded by amazing vineyards north and south of me, so choices are abundant.

Pig whistle is what happens after I eat Taco Bell.

I remember years back when my wife (girlfriend at the time) would make bourbon pumpkin pies with Pappy 15 and 20. lol

hard liquor is great, but as of late I've been more of a wine drinker than the hard stuff. Lucky for me that liquor does not go bad. I'd have a hard time drinking it all in my lifetime. As of late I've been more interested in Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir's. Here's a few favorites. For every day drinking it's hard to beat Hahn pinot. I can buy a case for $120. Sometimes a little less when on sale. Cabernet's: Pahlmeyer Cask 23 Patland Vineyard ZD Pinot's: Pisoni ZD Hahn Wayfarer

Pappy is fantastic, as is Lock Stock & Barrel, Whistle Pig, Michters, Blanton's and Hirsch. I have a few of each at my bar at home. Lately though, I've been on more of a cabernet sauvignon and Pinot Noir kick. I live close to Napa so make trips a few times a year and stock up.

I'm not one to pass up a deal, especially when it comes to MB. Found a never used Megabass Mephisto SB, Destruction, and US Trail F4 Tomahawk. Oh and a Daiwa Ryoga Shrapnel.

Sam, It's quite simple. Take a good look at all three and see build quality. Also, and most importantly, which dealer has service that is easier for you to access. I'm on the Ranger boat side. I've owned three new ones, including my new Z522. I considered a Gambler, but lack of local service (hell how about no Gambler dealer in CA) pushed me back to Ranger. Good luck with your acquisition!

Thanks, There was a time where I'd auto purchase any SB that came available. They are very special to me. It's too bad they don't make them anymore.

A few more back up rods.

Loading up the SS Minnow for a trip tomorrow. I'll have the 2nd rod locker filled up tonight.

I put over 10k miles on my new '05 Murcielago before selling it.

Gan Craft Junk paired with a Zillion HLC. Super fluke setup.

Funny you mention the GT. I had an opportunity to buy a new grey one when it was released for sticker. My garage was full at the time, so no go.

Bill, Here's to a speedy recovery!

True that many buy for investment. Crazy how some of these cars appreciate. I could kick myself for a couple opps I had to buy some cars.
