Drink of Choice
-
I have been off the grid since Halloween, not a call in or out. Just got lucky tonight, a 4G one bar in the middle of CW TX. No power or running water.Better call my better half if this signal last, not a sound except crickets and coyotes. A blazing mesquite fire and a new bottle.

Tex_77 sharing some of that rye in the middle of nowhere CW TX. Goes great with peace and quiet and being off the grid.

Jonathon s request, please list your drink of choice. I’ll start, I love bourbon and Coors Light or a good old Coors yellow belly. My bourbons of choice are Elijah Craig, Bulliet, Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam Black and W.L. Wellers. Now if I just want to pound down some drinks a good 7&7 can’t be beat.

Tex_77 Central Western Texas. Near Abilene, closest large city. Mesquite, range land and crop fields for as far as you can see. And dust

YooperDog Well, while you are in that area have you hit up Perini Ranch Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap? There is a lot of wide open space out in that area.

Joe Hell Great news for YOU that you saw one. What was the cost? I have the Weller 12. But, it’s a black label. I love the Weller wheated bourbons.

zbigjeff This one also has the black label but the lighting in the car makes it look a bit like the reserve label. This bottle was $40
Joe Hell If you want to make some money, go buy another 5 bottles. People will pay dearly for that brand.

Jonathon it’s black but it looks kinda green to me. I’ve seen that same bottle advertised online for hundreds. Weller has claimed they have significantly increased production but unfortunately it could be years before we see that hit the market

Tex_77 it’s close, probably little over an hour ride. A little fancy for me and my brothers. I will be back down this way in about 3 months and will have to check it out with my wife, I believe she will enjoy it. Thank you for the tip.
A couple times a year I unplug from all this electronic gadgetry, helps me recenter. My brothers still have job responsibilities, a bit tougher for them. But the lack of signal coverage and limited power forces the issue.

YooperDog I’m sure she would love it. It’s not a pretentious place at all, if that is your concern.

Tex_77 no not at all, but you won’t be smelling roses standing down wind from us after over a week in the field LOL. We spent a week cleaning up after an ice storm; opening roads and paths. My laundry bag is stored outside and I am looking forward to the motel to get cleaned up and a good night’s rest.

YooperDog Lol ya, they may not appreciate that to much. Sounds like you need to invest in a solar shower. So was it a hunting property you were cleaning up?
-
A newer product came in. Perhaps some of you folks in Texas are familiar with this.

Curious to know your thoughts. Balcones.

PapaSop I’ve heard of it, but have never had it.

Tex_77 my brother bought an old ranch a few years back and we have been trying to bring it back to life. He has some plans, but mainly focused for hunting. Had a solar set up, but some thieves stole it. Focusing on fencing, gates and cameras. We got some pretty funny videos of fools trying to steal the cameras while another captures license plate and vehicle. Working with neighboring ranches also to watch out for each other.
Ice storm broke a lot of trees, have at least enough firewood for a couple of years and mesquite for a lifetime of competition BBQ.
