Re: Adventures in bourbon - Bottled in Bond
Cheers, Icrontic! Mellow Corn rang up at 14 bucks but it sure is smooth. 
@UPSLynx my Rittenhouse BiB Rye came with a screw cap and a BiB seal over top, but not a paper label. I think that's how the Henry McKenna 10 year was packaged also, but I don't remember clearly. But hey, for the price point Mellow Corn comes in, I don't blame them for skipping the label over the top.

Re: Adventures in bourbon - Bottled in Bond
Back on topic. Bought the first bottle of whiskey in a long time with a screw cap. Evan Williams bonded.
For $17.99 it's not bad at all. A mash bill that fits my palate and a minimum 4 years in the barrel means it's a pretty safe bet.
Would recommend especially at the price point.
Re: Now may be the time for that HDR OLED you have been waiting for
I decided not to make the OLED jump this cycle. Also passed on the QLED, as the quality bump to price bump wasn't tight enough for me.
I was, however, able to bump the budget after an unexpected influx of cash, so I went with the 65" MU9000 (IT'S SO THIN!) Samsung, and it's lovely.
Eventually, this one will go to the basement to supplant one of the 1080p 55" units attached to the XBoxen and an OLED will take its place.
Re: Appalachian Trail Part Deux No For Real This Time (tm)
I'm just trying to give your shit ass knees time to get good. I'm out of options for delays after this, though.
(Pfft. I'm awesome at delays. Let me know if your knees need excuses.)

Now may be the time for that HDR OLED you have been waiting for
A couple of weeks ago I was in Costco drooling over the LG OLED65B7A as I had for the Last many visits. Then I noticed the price drop to $2299 and was ready to pounce. And after I saw that there were 4 more behind the display I decided to go home and see if it was on sale for less anywhere else. After searching my usual places the best I found was $2499. So I went back the next day only to discover that all 5 including the display were gone. I called the other store and they were out as well. At this point I could get one from Amazon or Bestbuy for $2499 but knew that a deal was out there. This morning I looked at the sale email from Frys to find that they had the LG OLED65E7P which has picture on glass (just pretty clothing), better sound and Dolby ATMOS for $2499. Well I didn't wait and bought one from my tablet and picked it up after breakfast. Both of these models are from 2017 and there is no game changing difference between them and the new 2018 models. So I paid $1400 less than the $3999 being asked for the new model and what the 2017s went for last year. You need the promo code to get the sale price. Now my dilemma of do I get a 55 OLED or a 65 regular 4K tv is over with the best outcome.

Re: Expo 2018: Surveys sent!
These are the events that met or exceeded a 4.5 / 5 weighted average after removing the lowest & highest score:
- Seafood Boil
- Pokemon Go!
- Giant Catan
- Pedal Pub
- Carcasonne Tournament
- D&D Campaign
On this year's more aggressive scale, that means they leaned closed to "zomg must do again!" (5) than "really great" (4).
We had 34 responses out of 43 possible. Thanks all!

Re: Pokemon GO
My naming. The last 2 blocks on the top are attack DPS anr defense rating, A-F. I've been using this to keep only species that are 60%+ as strong as the strongest species available in the game, and within those only individuals who are 80%+ perfect IV.
Making decent progress here too. Managed to find Ditto but only 2 ghost so far
Re: Pokemon GO
I'm currently saving up pokemon so I can crack an egg and evolve the crappy ones / transfer ~250.
If you want to add me, I try to send gifts every day. Might change if a lot of people add me...
My strongest Pokemon so far. I can just about evolve Bagon, but I have no idea how I'll get 100 more Bagon candy at 5km each. Magikarp almost ready too.
