All Purpose Coronavirus Discussion Part XVII: The Read A Book Edition

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I’m enjoying good scotch (my first ever, Dewars White Label at beefs suggestion) and a weird ass book on the porch on a slightly rainy day.

This is my favorite type of day. Points to you.

Smart minds think alike. I already have the threaded adapter and the 45° fitting ready to hook up

Genius.


I do appreciate the table. I started getting into small woodworking projects before I decided to go back to school and destroy all free time and hobbies so I haven't gone anywhere with it. A quick project I will do when this is all over is getting some magnets, including one really strong one, and using them to hold a piece of nice wood with a bottle opener on my beer fridge. The strong magnet goes in the back and is used to catch falling bottle caps through the wood as they try to fall past it.

Someday.

I need to find a place that sells better wood than pine, aka depot.

Dewars is ok, one of the better blends. Now I need to introduce you to the world of single malt.

I was so focused on the scotch (shocking right?), I missed the book. Excellent read! I’m assuming you read the 3 Dune novels that preceded it? If not, it’s going to be a difficult story to follow.

Do you have a Woodcraft store near you? The place is a paradise and they sell higher quality stuff.

The last thing i was working on before I had to go on hiatus was a shooting board, and unfortunately I was making it out of Home Depot oak so it has a nasty twist that I couldn't plane out after hours and hours. I think I have to junk it as not being worth the damned time put in, and needed in addition.

I've advised him that Macallan is the safest and best step into that world, but a more affordable one is sampling Mcllelland. Thoughts?

Plus Macallan sets an unreasonable standard for many other brands to meet.

Not bad for my first round in 6 years. I’ll take a 93. My driving game was way off. Putting was a solid 9/10. (Added rest of photos as thumbnails to save from scrolling )

i got out golfing today as well. Shot 86, made 1 long birdie put and I chipped in #18 for par.

Great to get out and see the boys.

Like beef said, this is a good place for a beginner. I took one look at the price of Macallans and went running. I didn’t want to blow money on a good scotch and find I don’t like scotch.

Yeah I’m not fond of hopping in a series midway through. I read the first couple im middle school before losing interest. I figured I’d give them another go as an adult. Im glad I did, although I’m not sure I’m up to finishing the last two right now. I’ll need to detox with something quick and light for now. I actually loaned my copy of dune to a friend who hadn’t read it, but I have 2 and 3 close at hand. Bonus points if you find the typo!

I love this post in the thread:

I've been through all three phases.

Found it. “Children” is book 3, not book 2

I liked Highland Park and Oban, but prices rising and income declining has put that firmly in my past.

Disappointed that your first scotch is a blended scotch.

The disappointment is directed at @Beef Invictus

Typically I would recommend a Glenlivet or Glenmorangie as an affordable introduction to smooth scotch.

Macallan rules all, so I often just also recommend it anyway.

Late, but more info. You get bonus bonus points.

Unfortunately the points are like the ones in Whose Line.
