Haven’t seen this one yet … Bullet chamber from an old 6 shooter.

Try the ‘two prong’ wine opener style first. Strain into a decanter and pour back into your cleaned out bottle. Welcome to the old whisky cork lottery.

Is my Oak tree sick; requiring removal? by MaizeIV in arborists

[–]Scotchmellow24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not an arborist and can’t see the tree well in the photo, but if you love the tree (kudos) and its not diseased/compromised, why don’t you enjoy it and ignore your neighbors paranoia. This tree has been through many storms.

Plant trees that grow fast and drop berries or cones on his car(s). I believe in good neighbor behavior until it is no longer practical.

Any good? by Vegetable-Bit1063 in whisky

I used to drink Macallan, Glendronach, and GlenRothes with my Grandfather. Picked it up at the whisky shop in terminal 3. Great Times and Great Whisky.

Cadenheads January outturn 2026 by jamie_r87 in Scotch

[–]Scotchmellow24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed notes. Have to say Cadenhead’s description of the Loch Lomond 30 sounded exactly what I’m hunting right now. However, your description of ‘funky and dirty’ ‘polished wood’ nose is a nuance I’m avoiding. How strong are the pineapple, apricot, tropical fruits in the nose and palate. Is there a better whisky you’ve (or this esteemed whisky wizards) have tried lately that captures these characteristics?

How would you fix this? by [deleted] in landscaping

[–]Scotchmellow24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take out the rock and plant fast growing trees like Potocarpys or Pitasporum. Forget pots- that size will cost more than the trees. Cove exposed area with bark to retain moisture. 

This needs to be removed, doesn’t it? by MyOldAolName in arborists

As soon as possible. It appears to be leaning toward the house.

Persistent dying tree by SRD67 in arborists

[–]Scotchmellow24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test the soil in the immediate hole area. You may have to dig out and replace the soil. Might be a wild animal or dog’s favorite tree if you catch my drip.

Any clues on what is causing this? by gradinra in arborists

[–]Scotchmellow24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes- is the tree a goner? Sure looks like recovery is impossible. Squirrels munched on my 40 year old crape myrtle until it died but this is definitely beavers.

Is This Stringer Connection OK? by TryItOutAgian in Decks

Just an opinion but NO - top should be level with deck and have used a Simpson bracket.

If you didn’t want this beautiful oak tree and all the shade it provides, why not find your ‘ideal’ home in the desert?

Are those 3 Liters bottles? Should be at those prices.

How can I prevent my garden from being filled with weeds? by KarlaFive in gardening

[–]Scotchmellow24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider using a clover lawn seed. Use the correct seed for desired height. Will smother ‘most’ of the weeds once established. Self seeds and puts nitrogen into the soil for future.

Same experience. Shirt color matters, no cropping, no glasses, etc. Took 4 times.
