yeah if you haven’t tried it this 4 roses small batch is even better. The cb was on sale at $10 so it’s not a bad mixing bourbon. So this weekend we had the 1792 and the 4 roses small batch. The 1792 has more of a Bite, but it has a lower alcohol content than the 4 roses. The 4 roses is extremely smooth. You can actually mix the 1792, the 4 roses is too good to mix. Had breakfast with the wife at a hole in a wall Mexican place in Victoria. Menudo (tripe soup with hominy), tacos de barbacoa (cows head meat slowed cooked overnight. The jalapeños were bad ***, they had a huge bite because the seeds were till there. More beer 🍺 for me. Anyway I need to wash the car for cars and cocktails tomorrow.


When those decide to come out, I’ll be paying the price, 😂.

I am a scotch guy, but have come to appreciate bourbon. Was drinking both 1792 and Four Roses over Thanksgiving with the family. Both exceptional.

To stay in line with the thread theme. I removed my 7mm spacers and put on 15mm. Should have gone to 18mm. Still a little room left. Will be replacing my wheel studs with 82mm titanium studs shortly.

There are way easier ways to replace the aging sunroof seal.

Default Cars and cocktails

Little Woodrows in Tomball is the hoot. Like a 2 acre plus parking lot. All kinds of cars, mclarens Ferraris, hell cats, Bemmers, jdms, mustangs, corvettes etc. Huge outside area, hard to find place. Was there for three hours, got the feeling this goes from 11- 6. Will be back in the future.

This 996 owner created his own version

I guess he has a 996 Carrera s triple black edition .

The Ferrari crowd was out there in force, off course you could recognize them by their clothing.

The Porsche clan was well represented.


A lot if tap beer.

Fires to warm up.

Most p guys were parking next to each other.

The road salt came out last night so the battery tender went on. The cover is on and the mouse deterrents are in place.

Default Achieved a milestone

So this 97996 was a good number. The 98000 miles is 7,000 miles under my ownership since January. May the lord grant me many more miles (smiles).
