  1. I have a space-limited TV stand to put the receiver for my RB 35s in. The unit must also have Bluetooth capability.

     

    I've seen the ones on eBay but I prefer to keep my business within this awesome community.

     

    If you have one laying around that you're not using that is in serviceable condition I will gladly pay $100 plus shipping to KY.

     

    ironic at gee mail dot com gets to me immediately. Thanks for looking!

  2. All I can add to the thread as an BGE owner is my experience and some pics.


    I start every cook with a full load of lump charcoal. I've never had to add charcoal during a cook yet and my longest brisket took 14 hours. If I do steaks I just shut the fire down and I'm good to go next cook by topping off the charcoal.


    All this smoking is done under a PAIR OF KPT-101s!

    It is a tragedy as he plans a new life as a " 4 States Reporter " sells house and all the Klipsch stuff , wants to buy a new boat . A few weeks later then such a message. It is upsetting. I thank Dave for his benevolent support when I was new here. We communicated a lot internally. Dave was a wise but confrontational man who stood very much for his beliefs. Rest in peace Dave Mallette.

    Devastating news!!

     

    RIP, Dave. Heartfelt condolences to the family and his friends.

  4. I finally tried a celebrity alcohol;

    I don't drink blended bourbon unless the mashbill is known. So I bought the Double Barrel Whiskey for $45.

     

    Not terrible but a typical oakey, kind of vanilla-ish palate. Easy to drink at 100 proof though. I may try their bourbon if they ever publish the blend sources. I live in Kentucky,  2 miles off the Bourbon Trail. I'm in bourbon heaven, the best stuff is right outside my door!

  5.  I mean, the guilty person paying the ultimate price doesn't sound like it would ease my pain a single bit. That isn't restitution in my mind and restitution isn't all that important to me anyway.  I prefer the saying "Justice without mercy isn't justice." 

     

    If we were to be just, we would absolutely kill a man for killing others. Justice isn't colored by emotion or by sympathy. It's simply a reaction to an action. A balancing of the scales. Something has been taken, so something must be given of comparable value. A life for a life. Mercy, though, is different. There can be justice without mercy, but no mercy without justice. In a way, mercy adds emotion to justice. It sees in each accused more than just their crime, but parts of them that are human. That feel and think and dream. And even the most evil among us do these things. I don't know which system I want in place. But if we wanted justice, we would kill the man. If we want mercy, we would not.
