Moribund thread is moribund.

Been drinking this all day and I'd just like it minuted that right now I'll fight all you choppers, one at a time or all together. C'mon!

I'm drinking an uncarbonated stout, the leftover from the batch I just bottled. It's going to be good when it finishes carbonating!

Can anyone recommend a good Bourbon?  I have been really into scotch lately and want to try some Bourbon.  Looking for something I can get in the $50-75 range.

Eagle Rare is pretty good. Their standard bourbon, the 10-year, is only about $25 and is quite a bit better than its competition. They also have a 17-year that should run around $45. Both are solid.

Don't get too caught up on price right away; there is an abundance of great small-batch bourbons in the $25-50 range. I would recommend anything released by the Buffalo Trace and Four Roses distilleries.

Today is International IPA Day. Go drink a hoppy beer or I'll set your lawn on fire!

I am drinking King's Blockhouse IPA, an excellent product from a new craft brewery that just opened up here in Cape Town. South Africa has been a lager-only country for a depressingly long time -- but the tide is beginning to turn.

Had no idea it was IPA day. Just as well, I'm not a big IPA fan.. though I periodically challenge myself just in case my tastes have changed. This week was, coincidentally, one of those weeks and I got a mixed case from New Belgium (Colorado) Brewery that had two styles of IPA (Ranger and Belgo, a Belgian IPA), as well as a well-hopped red ale and their flagship Fat Tire.

The IPAs were, as I remembered, just too overpoweringly hoppy for me to really get down with. Though I had a Ranger today, which is the more firmly hopped of the two, along with some shepherd's pie, and it was nice. I have a bit of a cold, though, so I suspect that my taste is a bit dulled, making the extreme hoppiness less objectionable.

Glad to hear you're getting some ale action down in S.A. Lagers are nice, but sometimes you want something with a little more funk.

    • Going to give this a try for a while and see if it sticks.  Day 1 Today was some full practice: 30 minutes of range work focused on coordinating weight transfer based on Evolvr feedback 10 minutes putting speed control work 10 minutes chipping practice with random targets 5 minutes bump and run work with 7 iron
    • Day 23: 1/2/2025 Had a great range session today. It was downright frigid this morning at the range, but the overhead heater made it tolerable. I started off working on my PPJ swing thought. Some slower, swings, somewhat exaggerating the movements. Then I switched focus and just hit the 6-iron about a half dozen times without thinking. I filmed two of these swings to send to Yoda.  After that, I worked my way up and down the bag (random practice... yay.) Hitting one shot with each club aiming at a specific target. I tried to focus on where and not how. Over all, I was pretty impressed with my results.  If you categorize each shot as either good, bad or good enough. I would say nearly all of them were either in the good or good enough category. Again, yay.  I'm going to do some more mirror work tonight, looking at my videos I think I can still improve what I'm doing. But over all, I was really happy with today's range session. I feel like I've had a giant leap forward in my swing. We shall see if the progress can continue.  Yay. 
    • Day 169: did a stack session. Worked on the early backswing stuff with slow rehearsal swings during rest breaks as well.
    • I really think it's just to keep people from doing silly stuff like saying "Oh, yeah, that spike mark will be my ball marker." or "That slightly greener blade of grass." Then when they go to replace their ball they have literally no idea which spike mark or blade of grass.
