RTIC's new King Disc. We'll see if SWMBO kills me. She'll be happy to know this will replace the Blackstone

Buy you a can of crisco for seasoning....

Some old standby and a couple new ones. 

How do you like the Templeton? I've ready a lot of negative press about the brand in general, that's it "Lab made whiskey" and that flavors are added so it doesn't have to go through the full traditional whiskey-making process, but haven't had a chance to try it.

It's definitely been used less and less. I think I'll like having the added real estate and versatility the Disc offers while still giving me the ability to use it as a griddle. There's only 2 of us so the 36" BS is overkill

Haven’t cracked it yet. Bought it for mixing old fashion cocktails based upon the proof. I’ll let you know. I had some other vintage from them that I thought did well in cocktails. Not for sipping.

Cool. I've long settled on Bulleit for a solid relatively cheap Rye for mixin.

Yeah, bulletin is fine for mixing.  I had one bottle of the Templeton 6 and was pleased. Mind you I only mixed it and it was around the holidays so between myself, my wife, and guests it didn’t last long. 
  I think there is a stigma because some felt hoodwinked in the past over marketing. I was just looking for a high proof rye to use in the drinks and I had never seen this one before. I’m sure I’ll choke it down no matter how it is. I’m always trying new stuff along side my favorites. You never know when you will find something you like. I’ll let you know.

I see a few good scotch’s in there. I’m a Laphroaig and Ardbeg fan.

I’m actually a scotch guy before a bourbon guy. I’ve got some Lagavullin 8 and 16 as well as some Bowmore. I’m not sure I don’t prefer the Ardbeg but they are all great IMHO. The Bowmore is a real bargain. Cheers!

Agree on Bowmore being a bargain. I can get a bottle for about $55 CAD, which is a real bargain here. It is a permanent fixture in my cabinet. 

On the Bib & Tucker, to me, it tasted too strongly of rye (which is fine if you’re a rye fan).

Just came home from a Costco run.  Time to start searching the forum on how best to do these so I don't screw them up tomorrow evening.

Those look strangely sexy for some unknown reason.

Meh. I mostly drink the rye in cocktails. On occasion I will sip a glass. Either way it’ll get consumed. Might be a live and learn moment. 

There is a real tidal wave movement in my circle of friends around the old fashion and Manhattan. They are largely vodka or beer drinkers that have discovered whiskey and whiskey cocktails through myself and another buddy of ours. I can always get the guys drunk on cocktails at poker night. That usually helps me out. 😜

I’m mostly an Islay Scotch man but I have a new found love for a good rye. I have a bottle of Minor Case I really like and have found a good Canadian Rye that I enjoy as well. I only drink it on the rocks or neat.

ABT fixings and #3 just in case.

^^^ Sounds like you're already on top of it.  
 
I was not aware of that Magfence, that's clever as hell.  I built my own fence, basically just two boards joined at a 90º, of different widths to accommodate different-sized stock, then clamped to the table with two C-clamps; it's pretty fussy to set up.  

Got the Magfence II Friday. The magnets hold it very well to the table. You'll need to really push on it to get it to move at all. I'm going to make a 'sacrificial' piece to go onto the face (related to the blade). I already have some plastic that's tall enough, but only about 12" long (the fence is 15" long). Close enough for what I need. Just need to get some nuts to go into the t-slot style channels in the fence and then drill the holes in the plastic piece. I have a bunch of 1/4-28 allen screws that I could use for this. Just depends on the thread size of the nuts I need for the slots.

^^^ Thanks for the update.  My birthday's coming up, hmmm.

A Brother wireless color laser printer, to replace my 2007 Brother wired B&W laser printer; I got tired of running down the stair and across the house to retrieve my b/w documents (first-world problems, again).  
I didn't do my usual research before this purchase, but the sale price of $209 was expiring in about 90 minutes, and I've been happy with my previous Brother printer, sooo...

Actually, last Monday was.  And I'm happy, as today (this Monday) the whole of Utard got hit bad with snowstorms, even had avalanche warnings in the valleys, something that hasn't happened that I can remember.  Many schools were closed, and expected low-teens temps tomorrow morning.  
I sipped hot tea, looking out the window, in my Bunny slippers.
