Not this time but one time SpaceX changed a drawing in the middle of a run that caused all the parts to be scrapped at a cost to SpaceX of about $125,000.

    CallMeAl thanks, since I'm a bourbon newbie, small batch it is. Assuming it's 86-90 proof.

        It's 92 proof.

        What do you lean towards?

            azgreg I work as a Quality Engineer.

            Me too, except for medical devices.

                CallMeAl still exploring. I do like ew 1783 and 1792. Ew black is ok. Liked larceny. Just got a bottle of makers mark.
                Usually drink on rocks or mixed with ginger ale.

                    azgreg Had a friend in Regulatory Affairs go to Gore in Flagstaff years ago. Pretty sure he's still there.

                        Sounds like you might favor wheaters.

                        Look at Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat. Like me, its from Missouri. Better than Makers IMO.

                        Also look at Very Old Barton which is around $25-$30. Very nice for the price.

                            From what I know they're a very big company.

                                CallMeAl I haven’t seen those at our Costco yet. I’ll be on the lookout. Tried a bottle of Kirkland Islay Scotch that was OK - price was good.

                                    They're tough to find around here.

                                    I've got the 17, 20, 23 and 24 yr Speyside which are pretty decent.

                                        Unfortunately, that's the problem. Some Costco's get all kinds of Great Whiskey including Allocated. Others get Zilch...

                                          azgreg I just love it when a customer sends us a revised blueprint on a part that is 75% complete.

                                          Just act like a government contractor and charge double for the revisions. 👍

                                              KCee can you order it online for pickup???

                                                  23 and 24 yo Speyside? That ain't cheap!!!
                                                  I'm an Islay guy...however will never say no to any scotch.

                                                      KCee My wife loves Costco too, but I'm not as big a fan. There are some good deals, but now that it's usually just 2 of us in the house I think there are fewer deals to be had.

                                                      My Costco is 30 miles away so I don't go there often. I mainly keep my membership because of their hearing aid center. With only two of us we would go every few months and stock up, mostly meat and freeze it. With only me in the house now I don't know how often I will get there. The thing I like mostly about Costco is not cost savings but the quality of their store brand (Kirkland) products and their meat counter. The Kirkland albacore tuna is wonderful as is their bacon. The last time there I bought about $400 in ribeye and strip steaks. They were about 1.5" thick and great quality. And at about $10-12 per pound compared to $15 or more at local groceries was a great deal. (Price was last Oct.) I freeze them and have never had one go bad before. The one big dislike I have of Costco is finding stuff. You never know where stuff is going to be and pretty much have to walk the aisles which is getting more difficult for this old geezer each year. The crowd and parking can be an issue but you have to learn when the best times to shop are.
