I've heard that Costco carries "Kirkland Brand" booze that is actually make by the good places, like scotch that is actually make by Glenlivet and vodka that is actually just bottled for them by Grey Goose, etc. Can anyone confirm? I bought some of their "Kirkland Canadian Blended Whiskey" and I'm going to do a side-by-side comparison with Crown tonight. I'll try to post my results before I drink too much. [Beer]
Sad that I didn't get to ever do a shooting match in Colorado, but it turns out that the gun club on base here has different types of matches every Saturday and Sunday. I just have to purchase an eligible firearm (don't even get me started on this one), get it registered with the state, get it registered with the base, and then I can shoot at the gun club any time I want for $45/year. They have 25, 50, and 100yd ranges, along with a really nice skeet and trap house area. I'm excited. I learned my lesson and I'm not fooling around until it's time to leave before I get involved. I don't care how many hoops I have to jump through.
Low battery smoke detector chirp would go off in the early AM and force me to change it. Go outside in my boxers and no shirt, cuz I don't care, grab the 8ft ladder and swap batteries. Couldn't happen in the daytime, right? Noooo! Dammit.
We got a motion detected on the drive coming in. The herd of 20-30 elk set it off at 3am.
Holy crap I'm tired, and I'm heading to bed.
I do think the kirkland marg mix is really good.
Irving, that video was funny, but do those folks have any credentials for judging alcohol? For that matter, do I? [LOL]
After doing a blind taste test (and being pretty familiar with Crown) I correctly guessed with about 90% confidence which was which, and I still prefer the Crown, but that is probably familiarity bias. The Kirkland one isn't bad, but it doesn't have the maple flavor that I've grown to like from Crown. If I score the Crown at 8/10, I give the Kirkland a 7.2/10. Lower score because it doesn't have the rich smell that I was hoping for and it was a bit harsher on the tongue. For the price, I'm pleased.
There is a gun store in this small town called "Tacti-Cool". I don't know whether to run toward it or away from it at top speed.
