Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Ron, thanks for the story. You can totally find her on FB, I know it. Probably. A better question is, why would I want to? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 For the internet story completion points. What does her partner look like? How does she look in the sober light of day? Are you in any of the candids the family posted on FB? Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Since I didn't get to completion, the story shall remain incomplete I remember what she looked like because I saw her when sober. Nice body, decent face, butch haircut And this happened 8 or 9 years ago, so not sure about the pics. Guess I could check my buddies sisters wedding photos 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JubilantLankyLad 1,957 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Get the green egg and post lots of photos. $1500! Holy shit, that there is a Winner's BBQ. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 $1500! Holy shit, that there is a Winner's BBQ. Haha, yeah, you didn't know that? They have a couple of different sizes, but yeah, they are the Cadillac of meat smoking. I wouldn't mind a smoker but then I see my meat bill going up and investing a lot of weekends screwing with it, so, no thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 "I'd like to own a smoker, but then I'd have to smoke things." Exactly. The idea of it is great. Doing it once in a blue moon seems great. Spending over $1000 on it, not great. And then the pressure to use it I'm the guy that got Netflix, signed up for 2 DVDs each mailing, and I got so obsessed with maximizing my dollar, I'd watch both movies the night I got them so I could mail them back immediately. I can be obsessive. So I cancelled that shit. I don't need that pressure in my life. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 You can buy a cheap smoker and make some basic upgrades to it and get a pretty decent smoker. When I buy a house I'll probably start smoking some ribs before I unpack. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Well, my boss is on board. It's the CFO who I'm worried about. But I don't have to present any reports until quarter end and even then those aren't super important. It's when we start on next years budget next spring I'm worried about. So it'll be a little bit before he even knows what's up. Im just going through and improving things where I can. Waiting for my boss to give me some projects to work on. Exciting stuff.

brvheart 1,752 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I don't know about the midwest, but a liquor license here runs 100k+, and are not easy to come by. Limits in each town, approval by selectman/various boards. It depends on the license, but when I applied and received one from Iowa in 2006 it was $200. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks. The corn wasn't .... I don't know... sickly, but it wasn't the best I've had this summer. It was good though. I bought it out of the back of a truck parked on the side of the highway with a spray-painted sign that said "Taber Corn" Dammit. You weren't supposed to see my edit.

Theraflu 1,035 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 It depends on the license, but when I applied and received one from Iowa in 2006 it was $200. As a store being able to settle bottles of hard liquor? Restaurants are different; there's a lot more to go around. In my town, for instance, there are only 3 hard liquor licenses, so the value is sky-high. Plenty of beer/wine places, and restaurants that serve, but Strat selling bourbon as a business would not be able to happen here. Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Maybe that's why Brvy never gets drunk. He doesn't actually know what alcohol is, because there is no chance any liquor license costs $200, even in Bumfck, Iowa I remember my mother telling me a story from the late 80's, early 90's, when she worked in the Palm Beach County Courthouse, a full liquor license went up for auction, sold for $15k or so, and was a total steal, because as Thera said, there are finite amount of them and they can sell for upwards of $100k. Too bad we were poor and couldn't flip it 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He would just set up a liquor store "front" and buy everything wholesale for his closet. I just looked it up and a Class E "liquor store" license in Iowa is $750 for a store less than 1500 sq ft. That's more than I would have guessed. http://iowaabd.com/a...ng/fee_schedule It does look like the off-site class c beer license that I personally bought, has risen all the way up to $240 though.
