Both. One for week days and one for sundays.

I never buy store ground beef! I buy a roast or two and grind it my self. Costs a little more but I know what I'm eating.

I dont think our range here in Amarillo ever closed. They were on FB saying they were open. That's the indoor range in the south part of town.

Tall In the Saddle. an old one.

Me three. BUT I'm smart enough not to try at my age. There ain't gonna be any of this "Hold my beer" nonsense.

My wife and I went to Las Vegas for a long weekend. That was the longest weekend in my life. If I never hear another slot machine it will be too soon. Maybe I'm too cheap but I can't see putting my money down and getting nothing in return. My wife and her sister went to a casino in Oklahoma, and my wife won $800. They took $50 with them and when its gone its over. Casinos are too noisey, too crowded, and just too many idiots for me to have to deal with.

I posted an answer to someone posting a photo of one of our muslim rep. and called her a rag head. That was against their 'community standards' and I was banned for 3 days. None of their 'community standards' apply to anyone else but conservatives. FB needs competition. Rag head was the term we used when I was in Libya and Saudi Arabia.

Thank you pards, I learned a lot, and probably bourbon is not my drink. I will look for the small bottles and try one. BUT..... I also learned where the knowledge and interest lies here. BOOZE. Appropriate for the saloon.

I don't even have my ducks in a row, and you expect my thoughts to be in a line?? My thoughts wander and mosey all over the place and never, ever in a line. Sorry to disappoint you.

I Think there is an old law on the books in NM that you can't carry a gun on a roundup. I think my grandpa told me that.

What the heck is a modifier?

What Badger Mt. Said. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all you great moms out there.

I think both Forty creek and Revel Stoke are Canadian whiskey (blended whiskey?). Scotch is off the table for me. So what I have learned from y'all, and I appreciate you taken the time to educate me in the finer points of distilled spirits, Jim Beam is burbon but out of the picture. Jack Daniels I may give a try. And I was serious.I am trying to expand my horizons concerning booze. Why you may ask? Beats the heck out of me. My running pard and I used to be the wild bunch, and now we are the over the hill gang. Hes 87 getting the start of altzhimers (sp) so I am not going to leave any stone unturned regarding booze. Getting nosey and don't want to miss a good drink. I may give a try for Rye whiskey which a few of you and Marshal Mo hare mentioned. I can see there is a lot of interest and intelligence here in the saloon concerning booze, as it should be. Thanks again for your time and I will keep you informed as to the outcome of my booze tasting.

Can someone tell me the difference be whiskey and bourbon? I like blended whiskey like Forty Creek, or Revel Stoke, (pecan flavored) as sipping whiskey. My son gave me a crock jug for Christmas with Makers Mark. Wow that's hard to get down. Im working on it though as a snake bite preventive. Is Jim Beam bourbon? I worked for a guy that on payday after the horses were put up he would give us our checks and we had to sit and have a few shots of Jim Beam. I was the youngest of the hands and I would force it down or I would suffer all week as being not quite the cowboy they were. I 'fraid to try it (Jim Beam) again and don't want to waste my hard earned retirement $. I need advice (which is not often) and I seem to remember someone saying "Never let a good whiskey to go waste". Since my 83 year old palate has had some really bad stuff down it would I like JimBeam? and Is it bourbon?
