Got these wooden boxes at Costco, not as pretty as the set you showed but what you guys think?

Most have the foam with bottle shape.

I want to use them.

I'll tell you a good way to use them, Pack em up with some of your best wine and ship to me. I will let you know how well it worked.

Every time I feel it is time to get a new truck and go through the exercise of costing it out, I like my current truck even better. Original owner, 235k miles, V8, consistent 17-18 mpg, engine/trans haven't been touched.

I am in the same boat. Mine only has 145K miles. Dinged up a little but it is a great truck and I don't want to spend the 40k or so it would take to get in a new one.

I love the simple, clean look of that truck.

I'm in the process of doing art/type for a series of signs for a company that leases chilled wine storage or "lockers". Sounds like we'll provide the signage for all 7 locations but I had to share just to top of one of the signs. The rest are straight forward but I love the humor they threw into this one.

Lots of wine arriving daily from my trip to Napa Valley, these two 3 liter chunks arrived this morning, really like the squatty 3 liters more than the tall ones, but take what I can get.

Well, let's just say that they're pricing is better than anywhere else you might find them. They're pretty good wines and will drink well for many years, and as Mrs. JohnD whispered in my ear after too many tasting samples: "Look at it as an investment". All winemakers seem pretty proud of their large format bottlings, more costly than the same number of bottles they hold, I just really like the big bottles.

Is she single? Ohhhh, I guess not.... too bad!! Well, does she have any like-minded sisters?

LOL! She does have a sister, but she's married too, but they're very different, probably wouldn't be a good fit for a wine lover.....................

What I did on my spring break...













That's a 1971 Ford/Mercury 429 with 560 advertised horsepower as I built it, mounted with a 1970 bell housing and 4-speed toploader transmission, that will be going into a 1969 Ford Fairlane. Project now in year 10, closing in on done.

Jim, that's a thing of beauty.

Happy early Anniversary to me!! Mrs JohnD got me this Salmanazar (9L, 12 bottles) of 2014 Aonair Reserve!! Not quite sure what kind of event I'd crack it open for, where so many wine drinkers could actually appreciate it. Maybe the first annual WMT Winefest???

At any rate, it really looks awesome in that spot!!
