Nice! Macallan made it twice as the more expensive ones. I think I've found a keeper.

I also happen to love authentic "southwest" and "Tex-mex" cooking, and I think you probably have a lock on that as well :yum:

When I got to number one, I was starting to sweat.

We do have a lock on the mexican food. And we do have a couple good sushi places, but the one that was close to me closed down several months ago.

I have Crohns so alcohol is off-limits. Same with coffee, unfortunately. I miss it a whole lot.

Tea is okay though, so as far as a suggestion to throw in the mix:

Rooibos Tea

Also considering I do a lot of writing:

Sailor 1911 Large Fountain Pen - Levenger

Sorry to hear about the Crohns, hope yours is managable :tiphat:

It is, thankfully. I have a very minor case compared to what I've seen/read about. I'm hoping it stays that way.

Thanks though!

Glad to hear that. For some reason I seem to have encountered a lot of Crohns in the last few years. Two of my employees had it, one a minor case and the other very severe ......... differences between the two were night and day. My ex girlfriend, who I am still close with, was also diagnosed about a year ago with a minor case. Keep it under control so you can continue to enjoy that Z :ugh2:

Sorry to hear, although glad it's manageable. My friend has a zero caffeine intake issue, so he buys tea as well. He gets it from
The Republic of Tea - Leading Purveyor of Premium Teas

I'm not much into teas, so I'm not sure if these are good or not.

Great pen by the way.

Sometimes the most understated designs are the most beautiful.

Mont Blanc?

No, it's the sailor 1911 tin was mentioning. The Mont Blanc is obviously a very popular choice since they are so well known.

Sailor, very nice pen :tiphat:
I have a Mont Blanc roller ball a vendor gave me 20 years ago, still use it every day.

Wow. Take a pic of it :pics:

biometric deadbolt lock:tup:
http://www.keylessaccesslocks.com/images/DTDG92.jpg

LOL, now I didn't mean it has the original roller ball refill, that gets changed out every few months. In all honesty, even though it's 20 years old, I think the design is identical to the one they sell today.

That's cool! No more keys :tup:

* Features & Specifications: Automatic on feature, just place finger and swipe
* Sleek subtle design
* Powered deadbolt lock
* Up to 50 different users
* Powered by 4 AA batteries
* Battery level indicator
* Two backup keys
* Easy installation
* Fits most standard doors
* No computers or servers required
* Simple 3-step fingerprint enrollment process
* Exterior LED indicator for user-friendly communication

..... and it retails for?

ROFL, I would like to think you would give me the credit of knowing it's not the original ink :roflpuke2:

Mythbusters tested that... they were surprised how super easy it was to fool..

Someone once told me "the wealthier you are, the less keys you have."
Makes sense.

Kwikset SmartScan Biometric Deadbolt
$269.99

I remember that one. Good show.

My favorite show! :tup:

Yes I did, lol. It's just when people say "show us a pic", I tend to think "ok, it's a pen, looks just like one in a magazine", lol. Now I admit it's 20 years old, BUT, they haven't changed the design, so, looks just like one in a magazine :p

Oh oh, sounds like this biometric deadbolt isn't as good as it sounds?

"The Mythbusters were able to trick a biometric fingerprint lock by fabricating latex and ballistic gel appliqués of an authorized (viz. enrolled) thumbprint worn over a live thumb. Supposedly, the lock not only read thumbprints, but also measured body temperature, galvanic skin response and a pulse. "

No I think they fooled it with a piece of sticky tape...

What Frost said...

yeah, I never saw that episode and believe them, but it probably depends on the build quality too. I'm sure there are ford fiesta models of the deadbolts and the ferrai models too:tup:

/google time

I don't think the local crooks are that sophisticated, and those that are definitely would not go to that much trouble to get into my house :roflpuke2:

Oh. The only 1911 tin I know of is a gun.

Very nice. Can't beat a good pen. I love roller ball technology in pens.

:icon18:

:iagree:

something like this is failsafe. it is the ferrari of biometrics, but you'd look like an a$$ with that next to your door outside.:roflpuke2:

Actually they only needed a photocopy of the print on a piece of paper:

Me too, I started using blue ink cause the courts around here wanted it, copies were getting too good :p I found I liked the blue all the time, not just for signatures, because it stood out when I made notes on handouts at meetings, etc. Now it's blue rollerball FTW :tup:

Same here. I got too tired of getting back copies of scans of faxes, so I started using blue so I can always spot the original.

... and with the cheaper version, maybe they just cut off your finger, versus taking it all from the wrist for that MacDaddy version :roflpuke2:

Do they have a version that would actually look good on a house? Both of those are obviously business related.

At my prior job, I used red ink on everything. We all used it. Customs brokers knew we had their paperwork if they saw red. I liked it. Twas hard to get used to black and blue again.

I've never really thought of that being acceptable in most places, but yea, it would be slick if you can get away with it.
