I'm sitting at the bar at Mestizo, and they have dozens of different tequilas. Some in plain bottles, some in very ornate bottles. I'm sure rhey would sell you a bottle or two.

Sorry, I haven't gotten out of my boomer cave in a while. Didn't even know this existed.

FWIW, I e-mailed Community about the difficulty I had finding their between roast blend.

Long story short, they decided to rebrand their basic coffee blends, but just didn't put much effort into advertising the change.

Dark Roast is now Signature Blend
Medium Roast is now Breakfast Blend
Between Roast is now Cafe' Special
Coffee & Chickory remains Coffee & Chickory, but with a jazzed up label match their new branding program.

Thank you for your attention.

This would be my first guess.

ETA: great show. Top notch musicians, light show was incredible. 'Sorrow' was a pleasant surprise. Only song I wished they has play was 'High Hopes'. Still, would go again.

I adopted this method after my drain line plugged solid 15 years ago:

Every two months, 1 teaspoon chlorine granules (made for spas/hot tubs) into trap, flush with water, then 1/4 teaspoon granules in trap.

I also added a Rectorseal drain trap with a high level switch; shuts down the a/c before the drain pain starts to fill up.
2nd option - get your bullet-proof Honda repaired, and rent a lawn mower when you need to cut grass.

AAA Rentall - $60/day if you're in Baton Rouge.

3rd option - pay someone to cut your grass one/twice.

Both options are sunk costs, but a $300 mower will be as well after a couple of years.
