    Not sure if you already have someone tuning your car. If you need tuning and/or dyno time let me know. I have probably tuned more 03/04 cobras then any other type of car.

    Randy has been doing an awesome job so far with the tuning, and has even offered to pitch in on the blower install. If something comes up, I'll keep you in mind.

    Jade Absinthe PF 1901

    Country of Origin: France

    Notes:68% Alcohol Content, Distilled Absinthe. According to the manufacturer, PF 1901 is a tribute to what is the best known and most widely sampled pre-ban absinthe: Pernod Fils. PF 1901 takes its name from the year in which the original Pernod Fils distillery in Pontarlier was struck by lightning (!) and caught fire. When the distillery was rebuilt and repaired, the out-dated alembics were replaced by the most modern equipment of the time. The old alembics were either destroyed by the fire and sold for scrap or sold off to smaller distilleries. The Combier Distillery purchased two of the 1100 liter stills and installed them along with the 8 smaller stills which had been a part of the distillery since 1894. The importance of this history, and especially the authenticity of these two circa 1870's alembics, was not overlooked when Jade Absinthe Originator Ted Breaux chose the Combier Distillery in which to make Jade vintage absinthe clones.

    My first impression of this absinthe is that it's very good, but it's not quite Pre-ban Pernod Fils. Based on my comparison with Jade and the sample of Pre-ban that I have tasted, I think much of the difference has to do with the age of the product. Let a bottle of Jade sit undisturbed in a basement for almost 100 years and we'll just see how it compares then.

    It isn't often that I am able to relax enough that one glass of properly diluted absinthe can have a profound effect on me, but this stuff hit me hard. One of the peculiarities of Jade absinthes is the cork used to seal the bottle, which I always seem to break on removing and have to replace. On opening the bottle, I was struck with the smell - very strong fennel in my opinion. This is a very pretty absinthe, with the color in the glass being an intriguing goldish green. On dilution, the louche is perfect, as always with Jade absinthes. The flavor was creamy, with a hint of caramel and just a touch of the Nouvelle-Orleans tang. You will want to dilute this absinthe well, as the alcohol has a little natural bite, but not unpleasantly so. There is a lingering black licorice aftertaste. This absinthe is not bitter at all. I'm sure wormwood is in there, but it's harmonized so well with the other flavors that it is quite hidden in the flavor. Jade Absinthes are all top shelf, you can't go wrong with any of them. This one is my second favorite, with Jade Absinthe Edouard being first in line, by a very narrow margin.

    Jade PF 1901 is a post-ban absinthe and meets the requirements for sale in the US.

    damn dude, you shouldnt have used up those killer ideas so early. you gotta save something in reserve or youre going to burn out quick!

    you could cut off your hand, but put a large bottle of liquor in it first so rigor mortis makes your hand a nice little carrying handle. that wont take long. oh and dont forget to have a skull tattooed on your hand at some point. :D

    haha, forgot to mention that his wife is a mortician (and a pretty hot one at that).

    Ok, this will be a bit odd but I'm running out of time.

    I'm in need of something for my wife's brother's birthday on the 8th.

    First off, he is a drummer for a Death Metal band (or three) and has been rated as one of the top 100 drummers of all time.

    To put this into some perspective, the last few gifts I have bought him were an infant casket from the 1950's and filled it with bottles of liquor, the Anarchists Cookbook (original printing), an Evil Skull wienie roaster for the grill.

    I need something along these lines, and something I can get into my hands pretty quick.

    Get to thinking evil and let me know what you come up with.

    I think (knowing Jason) that he'll drive it as is for now and we'll toy with it ALL winter until he's satisfied..

    I can already hear the calls "Get over here, I think we need to adjust the hyphenduphenator valve and adjust the muffler bearings. Pick up some blinker fluid on your way." ... yeah... all winter long...
