    What's your favorite Manhattan recipe?

    Any good rye works for me. The Antica is outstanding and my preferred vermouth. Angostura bitters always. I am just a hair light on the vermouth.

    Whisky Talk

    I've been trying to have a good bottle of Scotch on hand at all times, though this sometimes proves difficult as I know they are in the cabinet. Right now we've switched from having Aberlour 16 to Oban 14. I am slowly getting the wife to approve of the more peaty whiskys. The Oban is a nice...

    Need advice on sprinkler system controller

    I have this particular model. No battery backup needed. It has permanent memory. I've had others that sucked to program. This one is a piece of cake. Your wires coming from your valves into the old controller should be color coded. If red goes into zone 1 on the old controller, put red...

    Anyone here deal in real estate.?

    I work far northern California. And as mentioned above, I agree that local markets operate differently and state laws differ from one another. Most local brokers would answer questions no charge in hopes that they can represent you regardless if you are the landlord or tenant. Just find one...

    Washer/Dryer

    We have had the same Whirlpool top load washer and regular dryer for 18 years. I would likely buy the same if/when I have to get a new one. No problems over this time.

    Nintento announces SNES Classic Edition

    For those that did not have the SNES and liked the original Zelda, the SNES Zelda is outstanding. Best in the series by far.

    What happened to your home town?

    Sapulpa sucked in the 80's and 90's. Been back 3 times since 2002 and it still appears to suck. Will be back this year. Maybe it kicks *** now.

    Go to Cocktail

    Rye Manhattan with a better than average vermouth (Formula Antica is a good example). No cherry or cherry juice. Bitters are a must. Never shaken. I don't want a frothy Manhattan. Gin and tonic. In that order. Sapphire or Tanqueray most of the time. Hendricks with a cucumber anytime...

    Olympic wrestling Schedule out

    It looks like all of the wrestling matches will on NBCSN, CNBC, or USA. None that I see on the schedule are on over the air NBC. I don't think those channels have anything to do with disputes on local NBC channels. Also, since you are a Dish subscriber, create an online account with Dish if...

    Best pair of Athletic/Active style sunglasses

    Shatterproof limits you to plasic lenses. They do scratch easier. They are lighter than glass so are more comfortable. Grey lenses block out more light and are better for bright conditions. Amber or brown have more contrast but allow a bit more light in. These are better in lower light...
