I started a scotch club with my friends where we would do a guys night once a month and try a different bottle every month. Good way to try lots of different brands. Most of us have kids so we don't get together as frequently anymore, and when we get together now we use a bottle we all like or combine the night with the wives so we do not really limit it to scotch anymore. Lots to choose from in the $40 to $60 range.

I don't recommend doing that with 40s. Results may vary but good luck.

Public presentation done, thesis defense done, just need to make some edits/additions, then submit.
Might actually get to ride a bike for real soon.

Try Manhattan.
Around here if if you pay more than $3 for a pint of domestic big brewery lager you're getting boned or you're in an echappist approved highbrow joint. Specialties, good imports and micros, I've paid up to $12 for good stuff that you can't get anywhere else.

Stay off Newbury, Charles and Boylston. You're paying to be seen.
Mrs. Shovel and I spent a weekend in Portsmouth NH this month. Talk about a beer crazy town. Happy hours start at 2pm every day and unlike MA it includes alcohol. One store has all day wine tastings starting at 11am. The tshirt store across the street has a bar in the back and two walls full of 22oz. talls from all over the world. Massachusetts just does it wrong.

when I was in college, I used to be able to go "uptown" on thursday nights with $4 and pocket change and stay at wolfendales or kangaroos from 4:30 until bev hills 90210 was on at 9. the $4 covered the $2 cover charge at each place, the pocket change pitched in for the $2 pitchers, and then I dont remember the rest until 90210 time in my room at the house, which was the best girl magnet during sorority mixers. good times. good times indeed.

The last few days my garmin has had temperature spikes where I have climbed rather decent sized hills. Any ideas? 32f at the bottom of the hill, 43f at the top, then 32f at the bottom again.

There's no way, the hills were switchbacks and we're talking maybe 1/4 mile from 32-43 degrees.

I've learned not to trust Garmin weather reporting. I did a ride a couple weeks ago that maybe saw just north of 40*, somehow it said high was over 60 with the average around 45. My frozen bottles would disagree

I don't post here much anymore, but I just want to rant somewhere.
Today I spent $5K+ for a new NG furnace/AC system and found out tonight that I no longer have a functioning range (natural gas) nor hot water (also natural gas). The freaking idiots that did the installation re-plumbed my supply and cut-off natural gas to the other appliances.
I am not happy.
