Attention to detail

And another vote for well-disciplined screws, this one from an affirmed obsessive-compulsive. I know Bambina's a much happier girl knowing all her ingredients are dutifully aligned. Her dearth of rattles and jaunty bearing tells me so.

Attention to detail is great, not squozing the sealant out is great, but the REAL reason the screw heads are aligned is..........Feng Shui

We on the right coast (and I speak only for myself at this point) think you on the left coast may have some of those screws not tightened down at this point. (loose).

fun though... Laughing

WOW, this is amazing, I just checked the screws and NOT ONLY where they all lined up, BUT, they're also perfectly oriented North & South. AMAZING......those screws are also a damn fine safety indicator, if they are above the water line, you're doing good, if they should happen to slip below the water line...you should be calling the Coast Guard Smile

GEEZ!!! We leave the country for a week and ya'all, get back and see that things are gettin screwy.....
After all this catching up on the fine postings, me thinks it is time for a dram or 2 of the 3 fine Scotch Whiskies I managed to liberate to C-Brat-land. Cheers to you Cocktail

,Bill of Braveheart and Da Nag Bill, and you too Catman!! And when we meet again we shall share a bit of this bounty of Scotland.

I must have some Scottish blood in me...yeah, that's the ticket...

Well, Fellow Scot's, there will be special rations put aside into the Laurna Jo. However I plan to decant the 3 golden liquids in flasks... any recommendations as to and what kind? i.e. plastic ,metal, etc., and where to find them?

I prefer metal because, well, that's what I have. I got mine from the bluebloods at Nordstrom, but lots of other places sell them. Try Eddie Bauer. You can borrow mine for a few months if you want.

Only fine Edinburgh Crystal will do … and of course, it must bear the traditional Thistle crest. A set of three can be obtained on Princess Street, doon a wee bit frae the Sir Walter Scott monument.

Ah Bill! The essential element of a screw is the thread: Not the wretched slots in its miserable head. Elegance is achieved when the thread of a screw engages intimately with its mate at precisely the right degree of torque. This marriage is no less graceful than that gained by introducing an aged Scotch whiskey to finely cut Edinburgh Crystal. Likewise, ladies such as Brock's Bambina and others of her breeding are worthy of excellence. Ahgg! Dixie cups be damned! Wink

Ok no Dixie Cups, there will be crystal to drink from, but it may not be Edinburgh Thistle..yet. However, in my research on the subject, pewter flasks are the metal of choice for Scotch and other fine whiskies... so the one stainless I have will be for the the Bell's. The future pewter flasks will be reserved for the Glenmorangie and the Poit Dhubh. Aye, the Scotches of Skye.

I'll drink to that!

Did you know that Scotch whisky is the only drink to be measured in drams and the size of a dram is determined by the generosity of the pourer.
