Where is everyone #5

My buy of choice off the store shelves right now is called "Bin 27"

I do have a friend who works at the Tera d'Oro Winery in California and he brings me their port when he comes up to visit on occasion.

 

Cowpen, SC. Seems to be a decent place…..

 

You’re probably right lol….

 

Theres was a bbq joint behind the quik trip at x90 (i think thats right) they had a good sandwich last time i was in there.(been a while now). i never ate at the westar.

 

Grand Daddy’s BBQ! That’s good eating right there! Last time I was there I had to loosen my belt and then go take a nap! Good stuff!

 

Fonseca Bin 27, that’s a nice one. Have you tried the Grahams Six Grape Reserve? I think you would like it. Not expensive, about $20.00. Another one that’s really good is Taylor Fladgate. The Fine Ruby is quite good and priced about the same.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll keep an eye out for them the next time I'm at the store.

There's a local winery that makes a dessert wine that's really good, but they are real small and only do limited runs. My neighbor is on their buyers club list and I already told him that if he needs to make use of my little John Deere that I'll charge by the bottle....

 

I hear ya on that. Lots of places around the Pier's were built way back in the 40s.....most places along the water front. Any old Midwest/east coast city is like that

Like the Jersey City run I do, if you've never been there before and have a 8am or later it can be really stressful. Parkings really slim, pretty much get your ### end off the road and get as tight to the building as possible. Room for 2 trucks as long as the guy in front of you isn't Darwin. Plus you have their house trucks coming and going. Only about 10 docks at this place but it's a huge warehouse for hardly any docks.

Lots of people try it once and never do it again Lol. Right about 3 years we've been doing it.

The Bayonne run i was doing was really tight. Only 1 truck could get by you when you were in a dock. Not enough room for 2 to sneak by. My uncle did it a few times in his 280wb classic and said he had it ####ed at a 45 degree angle or better. The company he's with does Jersey city also and he has to wiggle wiggle wiggle to get it in the hole

I got pulled into the scales for a level 1 this fall and they wrote me up for a faulty tail light on the rear skirt of my tractor. Was out for a while but I thought no big deal...I'm pulling a trailer. Got home and tore into it...literally. Ended up changing everything from the harness back. Thought it would be one of those quick repairs, ate up a whole day.

 

That salt and calcium crap gets into everything no matter how well you weatherproof it. I remember my dad would rip out and redo the truck and trailer tail light wiring just about every breakup. Just easier than constantly patching it up once the wires start turning green.
