thoroughly impressed after 20k miles on the set of kumho crugen premium 255/50r20 109v rated tires. 138.00 each mounted and balanced. no wear so far, good in heavy mud and snow, good at 142 mph, quiet, crazy tire.  wimpy looking tread pattern compared to the bfg's im used to and yet im not getting stuck backing my lobster boat into a muddy river launch like ive done in the past

Just put a set of those on swmbo's GLE, great tires.

Your Rover has magic traction control though.

Another garden implement. Our gardener is getting older and I've got more time on my hands now William's sorted out, so spending the money on tools instead of getting the work done by someone else. This thing is amazing, runs off the same battery as the strimmer too.

it makes me wonder what it could do if they actually made an off road tire for it. those kumho's say snow and mud on them but the tread pattern looks like a summer touring tread, i really doubted them when i bought the truck

Two of these. 

I am planning to self-actualise (for fans of Maszlow) on Monday.  I have a life event occurring - end of my Police service, and will celebrate with Chuleton.  That’s just over 1kg of rib but taken from ‘an aged milker’ in Galicia, Spain.  I accept that the best cuts are unlikely to depart Spain, but I have watched so many YouTubes I cant wait to try.  Direct, hot and just coarse salt.  And lots of booze.

@CPFC1905 - That is one of those truly major life changes.  "You will know when it's when" and you have definitely sorted out the most challenging piece of the "moving on to the next chapter" experiences.  Congratulations on an exceptional career and best wishes for the next challenge.
The following likely won't mean anything to you but I find that practicing the following guidance from American Negro League baseball superstar Leroy Satchel Paige, "Don't look back, somethin' might be gainin' on ya" does wonders as you move onward and upward.  
Again congratulations to you and your family for their support throughout your career.

Thank you for those warm and generous words. And I wholeheartedly agree with the quote.  

It reiterates my favourite line from Don Henley; "Don't look back, you can never look back".   

As I say; 

Finish Friday, blamed on Monday, forgotten on Tuesday.  No regrets.

Local Kroger had butts $1.79 lb. a good deal here is $.89 lb but I was happy to see
them.

dbCooper

Fareway Meat Market here had Duroc pork belly at $2.99/lb (good), Duroc butts at $2.49 (high for on-sale, still ok) and Drumsticks for $.88/lb.  Picked up some of each.

And the new "Verticle Drumstick Rack" arrived.

Got out at the perfect time! Congrats and enjoy the deserved time off.

Thanks to my son who has some connections I just picked up two bottles of Blanton's.  Premium paid but worth it.  Will pound a glass of the on-hand stock to celebrate the gracious actions of @The_Buffalo.  Be well.

Blanton’s is still a unicorn for me. I have yet to find a bottle.

I’ve never had it and just bought my first bottle maybe a month ago.  Still afraid to open it for some reason.  It’s just so nice sitting there all sealed up.  The top on mine is the T.  Maybe I’ll start collecting them.

It used to be reasonably priced at around $40 a bottle. Then it got all boutique fancy amongst all the snobby brown water fans. Last time I got it at $72 a bottle. The N’s are different! Ask me
how I know....

I agree with @ColbyLang regarding the ever escalating price point.  It would have been a good deal for me to get it at his price but given the fleeting sightings and acquisition opportunities, sometimes you just get out the vaseline and know you are in for a ride.
BTW- not unique to Blanton's.  Here in the bourbon heartland, most has been getting exported (domestic and over-seas) for the better part of 10 years+.  FWIW-

Opened one up last night for Father's day.

That the distillery tour bottle? Got a couple of em when my brother went to the Derby last year

Blanton's is the long-standing first single barrel bourbon sold to the public.  Light-years before the marketing glitz of today or the past couple of decades.  Every bottle is a bit different in taste.  It is the closest I will get to top-shelf bourbon going forward.  And that is a great place to be for me.  
Reads like a great Friday watering Hole session  
Edit:  @bubbajack -living the high life and rightfully deserved right there.  I am sure you enjoyed.  

dbCooper

Thanks to you KY folks for exporting to the NE prairies.  Comes around every 2-3 months at $65./bottle.  Righteous stuff for sure!

lousubcap

@dbCooper - That is a solid price and hasn't been seen here for a few years.  Congrats.

Basic drumstick meal with an early bell pepper from the garden and store bought onion in the drip pan.  Drumsticks rested in the fridge overnight with Jerk seasoning.

Thanks to @JohnEggGio for passing along where to get the vertical rack.

@db, where in the "NE prairies" do you live?  I grew up in Sioux Falls and was stationed at Grand Forks for 3 years.
