Yes sir.
I've got to be careful though, only one bottle left after this one. ;)

It was a choice between the whisky and a Marfione custom Killswitch I've been drooling over. Guess you know where my interests lie. :rolleyes:
 
Macallan 25! Not 21 but 25. That's a serious drink my friend!

I had a 12 that is not even worthy to sit on the same shelf as a 21 since college (1998) and I had just finished off the remainder with my brother in law this past Christmas! Lovely sipping beverages! I've been told that the 18's and 21's ruin one's palate for lesser drinks. I don't know a soul who has ever picked up a 25 though, lol.

I've had all of those libations that have ruined my palate for the cheap stuff. (I've got some rich friends. :D)
In fact, just auctioned off 2 bottles of Pappy 23 to a guy in NJ. You should look him up. ;)

It's smart, the stuff appreciates better than stocks! By chance was that guy's name Michael? My friend Michael recently auctioned his Pappy off for I think $1,100 or something like that. He kinda lives in the moment and I love him for that! Lol

He generally loves drinking out of my own personal budget stuff like this! I couldn't find the bottle of Pap he posted so I put this one up.

That is one bad ass looking knife Ben!
 
It is a badass knife! Does the carving on the blade affect cutting ability? I've never seen a blade like that, it almost looks knapped.
 
Thanks for the compliments. I am embarrassed to say its a safe queen.:o

Its their custom 3D KG Gun Kote finish. Blade steel: CPM S30V.
Website: http://www.crusaderforge.com/CUSTOMFINISHESCF.htm"
* Outstanding corrosion protection. Gun Kote will withstand a minimum of 500-hour salt spray tests at 5% salt, however, tests performed for Armscor by the South African Navel Logistics Dept. showed Gun Kote withstanding an equivalent of a 7-year exposure. (Tests were performed on Aluminum in a salt spray chamber with 50/50 on/off time at 35 degrees C.)
* Resistant to chemicals, oils and solvents common to Automotive and Aircraft Industries.
* Helps to cool parts by dissipating heat. Gun Kote will withstand temperatures over 500 degrees F and as low as -320 degrees F."
 
Verve coffee, StreetLevel Espresso
Recipe: 18.5 grams in 30 grams out in 28 seconds.
Taste: I need my beans to age and degass a little.

 
I saw a little article on green beans with mold on them. I was reminded of the episode where Carmichael was looking for beans in Ethiopia.* He pointed to bags of beans
rotting in a government warehouse. Anyway, according to the article, coffee beans do have mold, but not enough to hurt you. If you eat fresh fruit or even breath, you are
probably exposed to more mold than you would get in a cup of coffee. I would still avoid beans that are fuzzy.

Just FYI. :D





*Dangerous Grounds. I wish the Travel Channel would bring it back.

4th place...why not give it a try!!

Since you guys have seen my entire knife collection I figured I'd post a pic of my pride and joy Remington Model 51 380 auto from the 1930's. Don't let the pic fool you - it is "great to excellent" condition- all original parts!

I put the 2015 Spyderco catalog as a backdrop because this is a knife forum, right?

I'll have more knives Monday!! (I hope) :D

I didn't know there was such a thing as a Spyderco catalog! Sounds like the perfect companion to my Peet's Sulawesi-Kalosi!

I have heard some good things about Kaldis coffee. I hope it isn't roasted too light for you. Looking forward to your review.
That Remington looks like a lot of fun!

I think "Dangerous Grounds," has finished filming and the show is waiting for the Travel channel to release them when they can fit them in their schedule.
