A 2.5" spherical ice cube mold for Chillin' wiskey, rye, etc.

I'll add a photo of an ice ball under some bourbon when I test the mold.

Hit me up if you need a second impartial party for testing purposes. Always best to be as scientific as possible right!?

I should look into whiskey stones. Great idea.

I also freeze or chill the glass and leave the beverage in the refrigerator. The freezer that I am making the ice balls in is the chest freezer, so they will be below -20C.

It usually doesn't last too long in the glass anyway

I live in the sticks and had to look one of these up. Never heard of one.

Man, that thing was the catsass for breaking up a leaf clog in my French drains. Hooked it up to my pressure washer and fed the hose down the pipe. Water pressure at 2000psi made short work of the clog. The froggies in my froggy sanctuary are now very happy that they have an abundance of water flowing through it.

db188-That's a clog in a can.

I finally was ready to pull the trigger on a Freedom Storm S. For a 300 class scooter, it seemed to check all the boxes. Now I find out they aren't being imported anymore and the soon to come 400 isn't happening. I did locate a used model w/ less than 200 miles, but realized that a discontinued model, with no real dealer support isn't a good deal-nomatter what the price.

Child sized hearing protection ear muffs for my grandson. He's going to be hanging with grandpa at the flat track motorcycle races Friday and Saturday night.

Weird little grocery store called "Lidl" had this little workstand thing for all of $15. I couldn't resist. Kind of cheesy built not bad at all for the money. Also folds almost flat to be out of the way. I like it. {Rusty Zx6 tank on it.)

El Yucateco "Marisquera" Black and Red

For the next fish tacos order. I've been a fan of the red, green, kutbilic XXXX, and special reserve for a long time. I did not know they made a seafood salsa. I found it while waiting for my tacos asada for a kind of early lunch

I actually bought it for one of the old guys at the bench in front of our store.....but decided to keep it. That's Ray on the right. You look up "curmudgeon" in the dictionary, it will probably have his pic! LOL!
