I hope they are not using public forums to decide what people might need....

They shipped it on Friday.  :rotflmao:

Amazon to ship things before you've even thought of buying them?
 
Amazon files a patent for "anticipatory package shipping." The idea is that the company will know from your buying patterns what you're likely to want next.

I think it was Friday night and I decided to drink some The Glenlivet 15 year old Scotch.  I poured it in my commemorative Queen Elizabeth coronation shot glass in order to get the correct amount in the drinking glass and then added just a bit of ginger ale.  I toasted my Mom, Dad, Godmother, and the Queen.  I may start drinking again tonight or not.  Depends how things go.

Total agreement, Steve.  I don't know how I would function without it.

Careful Brent, Amazon might be billing you for that scotch as we speak.

Hey that's only $4653 a shot.  :)

You say that like there was a gap between tonight and the last Scotch time....

 ;D

Isn't it really 'Still with the Scotch tonight.' ?

It was zero (-0-) F here this morning. The woodstove made a valiant effort but did not quite maintain the house overnight; it was stoked and running at 'medium' (for the long burn) last night and this am only a few pounds of charcoal left and the house was down to 65 F. Not bad but not the 73/ 75 it usually runs inside. We've got a week of this to go so there should be some ash in my future :-)

I could maintain the temp. in the house at these or even lower temperatures but it would take a few sticks of wood to be added in the middle of the night and I am not willing to do that.
