The hunt was fruitful today. Finally scored some of these. Hard to find here lately. I don't drink sodas much but these are Tier 1.
 Found some pork skins that match too.

 Didn't notice the syrup was straight Grade A - not enough flavor. Probably fine on plain pancakes or waffles. I prefer Grade A Amber (former Grade B) as it stands up better to my add-ons. |

ETA, here's an example and a repost. I think I paid 8 bucks for this Opinel. I use it in the garden quite a bit. I thought it looked pretty cool with my jalapeños. https://i.imgur.com/O6Hhg1b.jpg You don't have to soften anything for evilyoda, or pretend to be extra nice and inviting. He is pagoda level on the "can do no wrong" list. Been around the block more than a few times, has his shit in order. One tough mofo. He's good peeps. We just need to help him with his taste in knives. I mean look at that. S30V, two fugly spydercos, two chinas, a fugly ken onion. It's a cry for help. Although a ribeye would go a long way to dressing any of them up. A tall tumbler of bourbon wouldn't be amiss either. Speaking of which, Donut, you said the Bulleit rye is a good one. I don't disagree, it's not bad, but there is something a little different about it than my other ryes. A graininess? Different flavor. not as clean and bright as my other ryes. So while not bad, wondering if it is me. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: https://i.imgur.com/PWiTL81l.jpg So... Some of you may remember back when my SIL was on the road and I asked her to stop in to Buffalo Trace if it was convenient, she did, and then told me she she bought one bottle of BT Cream from my long want list. I had a small hissy fit. She was trying to throw me off they scent...that sneaky... https://i.imgur.com/Q0CWr01.jpg Said she got the Weller's on the way down, saw it was limit of 1 per customer, figured it must be good, got the rest on the way back. On the way down she was only one in the store, on the way nack it was packed and people were bitching about the stuff that was gone, must have been some good stuff briefly (I think she mentioned it was just Weller's). So I ask how she wants payment...and she says merry christmas  I found out my wife gave her Rothy shoes for Christmas  Wow nice haul!!! |

It was thrilling. Even if only for 30 seconds before going back in the sock drawer." Yeah, bitchin. The cheese and accompaniments at this house are the stuff of legends and any knife has not had a complete kniflife until it has sliced through my cheesy sausages.

I’ve cleaned and skinned a couple/few deer, dozens of squirrels, and cut shooting lanes with both of the Lons, but I’ve only had them a couple of years. I clean the blood off with alcohol wipes in the woods and scrub em with dish soap once home. Even in 1095, they still look new. They definitely get used, but only for that purpose. I have a couple of my Father’s that he made with O1 30-40 years ago. Those have cleaned and skinned over 100, also still look pretty new. All of them will go to my kids, hopefully after the Lons see that much use. So yes, both stories/history. However, I do understand your disdain for them given what they charge for the materials used.
My folders cut packaging mostly and pose for pictures next to red meat and my apparently small hands. I’m guilty there. Speaking of which, inbound.  ..Boar was killed on Jelico Mt. near the KY, TN state line. |
