I’ve had the system for probably 3 years or so. Never had any issues until now and only on this one point. I even tried swapping points and it still does it. My sons pc is right next to this unit and can’t play his online games. Even when it’s connected and running 128mbps.

Normally I’d use epoxy or CA glue. Wondering everyone’s thoughts on how they’d choose to fill?

Thanks for any suggestions or help.

I’m debating since it’s going to be big. Making it able to come apart using something like the pictured joiners they use on countertops or possibly dominos that are removable. I know Festool makes some. But they also seem crazy expensive. Any thoughts?

Our Samsung refrigerator model number in picture suddenly stopped working today. As if it has no power at all. I verified the breaker, power to the outlet, unplugged it for 2-3 hrs and plugged it back in. Hoping it would reset. That did nothing. Removed the fuse block model which had four fuses. Tested each of them for continuity and they all had it. So they’re good. What should I do next?

It’s been 9 days. Took it to a friend’s kids graduation party where he had a small bar for adults. It was full minus a couple small samples I’d taken over the last few days. Everyone loved it. Early Times BIB is already a great pour. This just enhanced it immensely. It’s well rounded, smooth yet has a bite from the 100p. The amburana gave just the right amount of cinnamon & baking spices with a touch of extra oak and a lot of vanilla/burnt sugar. I think came from the toasted pieces. I will be doing this again. But hopefully on a larger scale in my 10L mini barrel.

Experiment time. I had some pieces of Amburana from a friend’s distillery that uses them to age their Rum. I cut a few pieces down. Heavy charred one, and then medium toasted two on them on my Traeger smoker. And put them in the bottle with some Early Times BIB. I used the Four Roses bottle because the opening was bigger.

Picked it up last weekend in TN while visiting the area for $2 over msrp. When I saw the other review on here I had to go do my tasting of it.

Penelope Cooper Series: Riviera American Whiskey finished in Rosé Wine Casks

Release: Spring 2026 (Batch 1)

Distilled by MGP in Lawrenceburg, Indiana

Blend of 8 year American light whiskey & straight bourbon whiskey

Finish: rosé wine casks from Spain

Mashbill: 74% corn, 7% rye, 16% wheat, 3% malted barley

Non-chill filtered (NCF)

Proof: 94

MSRP: $80

Nose: very inviting, seems complex, sweet, fruity green apple candy, green grape juice even, a touch of vanilla hidden, floral so much that it makes me think of the color pink! But that may just be the subliminal label/rosè name. Haha. More ethanol than I’d expect from a 94 proofer.

Palate: extremely watery & light on the tongue. It almost feels like I watered it down heavily even though I’m sipping it neat. Swiching it around to hunt for flavors. Definitely get a bit of that green fruitiness & vanilla. It’s not sweet really much at all.

Finish: the finish is where it’s all at, juicy green grapes, some light floral notes, heavy spice & pepper, with a small smidge of oak. The spice/heat is much heavier than I’d expect for a 94 proofer & for the lack of almost any flavor on the palate. It sticks around for a bit.

Final thoughts: Penelope 4 grain barrel strength batch 12 is what got me into bourbon! I still have one sealed I don’t know when I’ll ever open. I love most of what they do. I’ve owned almost every bottle they’ve released. This one is super odd to me. The nose is glorious & inviting. The palate falls so thin & way flatter than what the smells are. And the finish is barely there other than some spice which almost hints at heat from what seems like immature whiskey. The first time I’ve probably ever said this. But drinks hotter than 94 proofer! I’m not sure how they blended this but the palate is almost non existent of flavor for me. It’s super disappointing. Considering I love their bourbon, ALW & the OG Rosé quite a bit. While I do give them credit for trying out new things & making great bottles most of the time. This one falls very flat for me. But it will be a cool bottle to share with those that like lower proof stuff. Maybe. I just told my wife it’s like drinking water with a hunt of whiskey. 😢

Rating: 4/10 It’s drinkable but not preferable.

Kings Family Distillery 10Y Cask Strength SIB

Age: 10 years

Mashbill: 60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley

Source: distilled in Indiana aged in Tennessee

Cost: 99.99

Nose: heavy on the cocoa powder, hazelnut, vanilla & caramel. Dessert nose if there ever was one.

Palate: rich & decadent, oily thick mouthfeel. Sweet, vanilla, cocoa & caramel identical to the nose. Tastes like a boozy rolo candy! Why haven’t they made that yet?

Finish: incredibly long, a huge yet balanced amount of oak with leather, toasted wood & some wonderful pepper spice.

Final thoughts: I picked this up after tasting 2 different 10y single barrels at the Kings Family Distillery in Pigeon Forge, TN. The server said I’m almost out of this one (an ALW) & we have a new one that we just cracked (this one). The other was essentially an American Light Whiskey aged in new oak barrels. Which while it was also very good. This one just blew my mind! It’s so dark & rich I know my description is missing some stuff. It’s super complex & just fantastic. Worth every penny & I’m probably going to be mad I didn’t buy multiples of this one.

Rating: 9.2/10

3 meat Sancocho with beef, smoked sausage (I couldn’t find any Puerto Rican Sausage), pork, batata, plantains, potatoes, yuca, corn, onion, carrots. Tostones, fried plantains, rice, pork & chicken empanadas & I even finished with a Spiced Cherry cocktail! Everyone loved it including my friend’s mother who was visiting from Puerto Rico. She even said "Ya te puedes casar!" Which I had translated for me. 😂 so it was a huge hit & I wanted to thank you all for helping a white boy make an awesome meal.

My father in law found this part at an estate sale. They knew nothing about it. It has the original Boeing inspection tag from 1958 & appears to be an OEM new old stock part still in its original crate. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
