That's much cooler than I thought it was going to be. Is it 25 different kinds? What's for Xmas?
yes, 25 different bottles. The one for Christmas is the one with the red wax.

Glen Grant 30 year single malt.
Distilled in 1988
Cask type: Sherry Butt
Cask # 9173
Region: Speyside
55.1% ABV
Dammit this is awesome. Would pick this up for sure.

Kinda pricey, lots of guys on the subreddit claim they wanted to buy but couldn't justify it.

:notbad: priced if you stay away from the first editions which is pointless of you plan to drink the stuff anyways. That's a really great gift idea to myself, chances are I'm not going to bother thanks to the outlay ahead of us leading into xmas shopping season followed by my kids bday in Jan. Plus i have a boatload of leftover and gifted booze from my birthday.

It's not pricey if you're buying something for a top end client and are writing it off. Buying a high end gift is hard, this is easy.
Great pro tip.

Less of a stabber, more of a slicer and the tip is less probe to damage.

Just another style in the end.

The darker blue is a pretty color.

Massles and a bunch of torx bolts.

This top isn't ever coming off, it rains too much here. I do have the freedom top, though - and that'll come off regularly.
More than just massles unfortunately. Unless you have one of the hoists for it, it's easily a 2-3 person job just because of how awkward it is.

Which headlights did you get? OEM or JW Speaker? I still want some of the OEM ones, but it's a hard pill to swallow at $600-700

I went with the AZN LX-Light knockoffs from Amazon for the lulz. $130 shipped on Prime for 2 headlights and 2 foglights. So far, I am not disappointed.

The stock jalogens are laughable.

Yes.

We know the house we want and early next year they are opening a new phase and we are going to jump in to be able to pick our lot as soon as they open. The new phase backs up to BOM and we want one of the lots that is on the border.

Benchmade Adamas

Black class, beefy as all hell. Not a pocket carry with this thickness. Comes with a molle capable case.

Will snap some. Nothing really impressive to be honest.. I need to look into it online to see why it has some velcro that makes no sense.

Oh yeah... this one is also the smoothest opening and closing Benchmade I own. There is literally zero resistance when you release the axis lock, or push past the "return to close" threshold.
