What's bourbon taste like so I can imagine it?
Depends on the distillary. Most of the finer ones, though, don't bite much and have carmel type undertones. Some smokey sweetness too.

You can find old bourbon barrels around here and, if left out in the sun they smell so freakin' good. I want to crawl inside when I come across one. Sort of maple syrup-y smelling. My mouth is watering, actually.

Oh, and look me up on playa, Msky. I'm bringing some of Kentucky's finest with me.

Goodnight Sput... I'm not far behind.

Only a couple of weeks and we head out... It won’t be long now.

So LeChat do you punch the holes on the ends of you struts or drill them?... I have equipment envy and I don't really have any particular use for it.

Can't wait... esp the tux. I was told once that guys are lucky as a tux is never out of style. Formals are *much* worse for us. MUCH worse.

I *do* have the infamous black dress, however... With matching mitts. Some other goodies as well. Still want something kinda liederhosenesque for the Kantina... and a new bullwhip for those "difficult" interrogations... my old one is *so* worn out and battered...

Punch... Very quick that way.

It’s all about taking the time to set up the fixtures and jigs first. Then you just put the freshly squashed end in and step on the pedal. Almost as if by magic.

Too bad you’re not down here, Z. We could have a dome party.

Go through the bullwhips, do you, BBSue?

I'm back (slow server) but I , too, must skedaddle...

Hugs to y'all... see you maybe in the morning. (And a kiss on the forehead to Zule...)

And Chat... who told you my plans? I was kinda thinking Elizabethan Bar Wench. Tits on a platter and all that. Nudge nudge wink wink...

Whips are 'spensive nowdays!! Damn! Better stop wearing them out. Or at least figure how to get the bloodstains out of them... >>grins<<

So did all the dregs go back into the house or to the local charity drop off? Or will the sit in the garage for weeks and weeks because you might have another sale but you know it will never really happen ?

This must have been rummage sale day, we had entire apartment complexes and neighborhood associations having them around here.

BTW, did someone say there was margaritas around?

I thought I was going to have a margarita, but I'm going to have a tequila sour.

Z. Some of the stuff will go to charity, some is being held for a future sale, but it's boxed and headed for the attic.

Good evening, everyone!

Sputnik, what percentage of stuff do you think you sold? I'd say we soldat least 2/3 of what we put out. Today was really slow like I mentioned earlier. That was ok though.
A lady stopped by and said she used to live in our house in the 40's! That was interesting to hear for sure! She told us that there used to be front and back screen type porches. The one in the front is gone and so is the upper floor walk out porch on the back porch. There laso used to be a 2 car garage in the back, I wish it were still there.
It was really cool to listen to her talk about the house.

Any Margarita left, Sputnik?

I think we're out of margarita mix and I can't remember what goes in them, it's been a long time since I made one from scratch

I think maybe half of what we put out, but certainly 2/3rds by total volume. Got rid of a big file cabinet. I didn't make Margaritas, just got a Tequila Sour.

Ok, T-sour it is! If I drank as much as it seems I do here I'd be SO sick!

We sold stuff that you wonder why people buy it! But they do! One man's garbage is another's treasure!

I think a lot of it is impulse buying, you might even purchase the same junk you just got rid of if you saw it at somebody else's sale,.... Well maybe not that sweater.
