• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

say it ain't so...

So THAT'S where the problem lies...
Cheap booze! :gaah:

That bottle might cost $300 way up there... Carrying them over the mountain passes on the backs of Caribou travelling in caravans isn't cheap! :D

Another tidbit concerning pricing.

We have "dry" villages in the bush here. The only way to get stuff is to smuggle or make home brew. Bar whisky like R&R (shudder) goes for $300 to $400 a bottle if they can get it through the system. Don't ask me how people who are subsisting off the land can afford it. I sure couldn't. This has been featured on Alaska State Troopers a few times.

It is closer to $300 here. We have some of the highest liquor taxes in the US. About 38% if memory serves me well. $30 to $50 for pretty much anything.

:yikes: Robbery I say. I get my well Scotch ( Clan MacGregor 1.75l) for $20. The single malt ( Glenlivet, Glenfidditch) I save for special occasions (like when I run out of well and I am on a bender):thumbup: The MacGregar, by the way even though cheap is one of the best blends on the market very smooth moreso than JW Red about in the Black areana to me. I could never understand how anyone would pay that much for a blend you can get several bottles of top of the shelf single malts (Glen Moange, Balvanie etc) for that much. McCelland's makes some passable single malts in several varieties in the $35 range I prefer the Highland vs. the smoky tasting Islay.

I do miss those lower 48 prices. I have a well stocked cabinet--but drink much less and enjoy it more when I do these days.

wished I was, but the following weekend we are taking off on a nine day boat cruise with the spyder and a bunch of spyderquest committee people and hitting five of the islands!!! maybe next year. and if so, the first "fid" is on me!!!!:thumbup:
 
The worst thing my best friend ever did to me was ask for a fine bottle of liquor for his birthday.

For I got him a bottle of Walker Blue, and he was kind enough to share it with me. And now, there's no going back, I love it so.

You're my boy, Blue... You're my boy.

:)
