I've been keeping an eye out for E.H. Taylor around here.  

Found this!  Balked at the $100 price tag, but regret not getting it now.

Yeah, Laiphrog was the sample that was it.  A nope for me.

Considering it, great way to get samples of spendy bottles.

It is.  Found out I do not like smoky scotch that way.

Yeah the pricetag did not reflect the quality.  Same with The Dubliner though, the taste was far superior to what I expected for a $24.99 price tag.

Will keep an eye out for the Dubliner.  Anyone here use Flaviar?  

Breckenridge Bourbon is a good one for sure.  Especially at the price.

Good ones Redux!  I recently picked up a bottle of Glenlivet 14 Year Cognac Cask Selection.  Very good.  A couple more bourbons too, Angels Envy and 1792.

It is just the burn, It just gets me.

There's a lot of scotches that have that burn and I don't care for them either.  I can stand a little burn, but definitely prefer smooth.  And smooth is what you generally get when you buy a pricier bourbon.  My next bottle will be Eagle Rare.  Heard great things and then got a taste the other day.  Very good.  An easy "starter" scotch is Glenmorangie 10 Year Original.  It's on the cheaper side and super simple.  It's what I keep on hand for friends who might not be accustomed to scotch yet.  Very easy to drink.

I just can't drink stuff straight...unless you are just talking about doing a shot but I just can't sip.

There's such a huge difference in quality when it comes to whiskey.  Even between a $35 bottle and a $65 bottle.  

At first I read that as 51 years!  Nice find BRB!

Just got his blackshirt

Well deserved.  Very fun to watch him play.  Nose for the ball as someone noted above.  Just pray he continues to stay healthy.  

While we only have 11 commits, keeping our overall team ranking low, our average is only behind Ohio State and Michigan in the B1G.  According to 247.  I'm liking the slow process here.  Feels like they're taking their time and getting exactly who they want.

Messed up my earlier post.

You guys were good f#&%ing kids!

 

Or did you just do other bad s#!t instead of mess with the guns!  Haha

Oh, we got into our share of trouble for sure.  We just knew the actual guns were dangerous if not handled properly.  Just like the farm equipment, etc.  You just didn't mess with stuff you weren't trained to.

And did you all stay away from them?  Sounds like you did.

Absolutely.  We all did.

Do four year olds even know what death or dying is? So telling them something is dangerous and can kill doesnt really make sense to me. 

That's why I used the word hurt.  They know what pain is.  I don't think my kid handled an actual firearm till about 8.  Toted around a Red Ryder for a few years with me before that.

I kept/keep my guns locked up, but they weren't that way when I was growing up.  My father and my grandfathers/uncles just had unlocked glass front cabinets, but we knew better than to get into them.  We knew they weren't toys.  Had a healthy fear of them.  

Respect.  This gun can hurt someone if not handled appropriately.  Only point at something you're intending on shooting, and always keep the safety on.  There are other finer hunter safety type conversations, but that's the most important gist of it.

Look at that Offensive Depth Chart. Count the Seniors.

 

I see four. 

 

That's a young, but talented squad.

None on the line.

Maybe he will be the big guy flying down the field on kick off coverage.

I mean, he's literally a weapon.  That would be terrifying.  I'd love to see that.

Nothing against Damian, but he's 2nd string, so it would take a major injury to Urbach to see PT.  But, it does put him in line to start in 2020 and 2021.

Very true.  Just nice to see him on the chart.  Probably will see some special teams reps.  

Damian Jackson at long snapper.  Nice seeing him get on the field.

Great to hear about Cam Jurgens.  If half of what people say is true, he's going to be one helluva center.

Does YouTube TV have any package options? It looks like it's only one package.

Enhance is correct.  Everyone gets the base package, and can add to it if you want.  Typically it's $5 per additional channel, like HBO and AMC.
