Friend got me a jug of the Kirkland premixed margarita.

Not bad at all. Little tequila taste, lemony, and undertones of orange. Not just alcoholic lime juice like you get at some bars.

Poured myself a pint glass of it thinking it’d be weak, turns out it’s 17%. Had to sneak into bed a little more tipsy than intended, not meant to be getting drunk with the newborn around.

Just bought my third (and king size) sherpa blanket. PBUC.

My wife keeps buying these and I'm concerned our mummified bodies and our house will be discovered buried under sherpa blankets in 1,000 years.

edit: coincidentally you'll need a sherpa to climb to the top of our blanket pile.

Costcos in Seattle sell very solid crab pots for recreational crabbing. Not the commercial Deadliest Catch kind, but a smaller version of the same design. Seriously considering picking one up, PBUC.

The best method of recreational crabbing is tying string around turkey necks, hanging them in the water off a pier, and scooping up the hungry crabs in a dip net as they latch on when you pull the turkey necks back up.

I bet you could get like 100 turkey necks for $5 at Costco.

Highly variable. I would just troll slickdeals for a while and/or set up a laptop deal alert. Unless you need it now, in which case Costco should be a good bet.

I made the grave mistake once of trying to serve two gods, the one true god Costco and the pretender Sams Club. Got one of those groupon deals I think for something like a half price membership and a bunch of freebies. Some of the areas I travel to have more Sams than Costcos, plus its never usually nearly as busy.
Going to Sams reminded me of the time I bought a netbook instead of a real laptop because they were smaller and cheaper. It was like 95% of the size of a full sized laptop keyboard, but drat was that thing near impossible to type on with fat goon fingers. Thats what Sams felt like to me: almost like Costco but just didnt feel right. When the membership ended, I swore to the one true god Costco I would never stray from the flock again.
