    Scapholunate Ligament Tear

    Interesting. Had not previously heard of HSS, but hard to argue against #1 orthopedic surgery spot in US (or world, depending on source). Now I’m curious, did you research and find HSS yourself? Did a local doc recommend? Friend/family member know of it? And, how’d ya injure it? Always think...

    Preface by stating the obvious... An even (or desirable) trade is in the eye of the trader. Did you want the W12? Then wouldn't do the post-mortem on the x-action. That said, here are the approx secondary values I've seen lately on Tulsa Whiskey Finder (FB Group) OWA - $100/each MWND - $200...

    Looking at what was included, that "lot price" of 1740 appears to be based on pretty regular secondary prices. Happy you were able snag them, but I can't bring myself to pay that far above MSRP. It's not a money issue, it's a principle issue. Luckily, I've found a few bottles in the wild...

    New lawn - grass suggestions

    Another fan of Zoysia, which I have in my yard. That said, in the battle of Zoysia vs Bermuda, my yard is slowly losing the battle. Not sure how to stop it as Bermuda seems to be invincible. If you go with Zoysia, make sure there isn't a more robust grass in the adjoining areas that could...

    Been seeing EC 18 and Evan Williams Single Barrel popping up lately in Tulsa. 18 years for a bourbon is starting to push (or exceed) the cask time before it gets a little woody but I decided to snag one. Probably won't crack it for a bit as I have some others to enjoy first. The EW SiB is...

    Just tried ordering a few of the sampler packs for some gifts. Would not let me ship to Oklahoma. If someone has had success purchasing from this site and shipping to the Cowboy State, please let me know.

    Any one tried JM's Murray Hill Club? Passed it over today for a bottle of Henry Mckenna 10 year BIB, which I'd been wanting to find for awhile. Parkhills had it for around $95ish. Some reviews seem to indicate the JM straight bourbon is a better pour

    What's your favorite Manhattan recipe?

    Just tried same old Moses. It’s a four year, four grain bourbon. Pretty darn good. Will get a bottle next time in shop (didn’t try the tawny or ruby port aged bottles). cool that it’s distilled in gutherie
