    Sorry its been a very busy summer. The legality of it depends on the state yiu live in.To be legal by federal law you need only purchase a fuel production stamp. State legalities differ. Some do not regulate it at all for personal consumption. Others entirely restrict it. The stuff I mash...

    What are you drinking?

    Gulf streams

    What hardiness zone are you in? I ask cause they are a very rugged plant omce theyre established and grow well in zones 6 through 9. And I just noticed this thread is several years old. Whoops. Wonder why it showed up in the new posts menu.

    Toy stuck in bathtub faucet

    Harbor Freight sells a small pick set for a buck thirty nine. Best buy of my life. Yeah I agree that a bent coat hanger will take care of your problem with some fenagling. But you know this is gonna happen again. And again. These have been through five states and seven countries. Theyre also...

    Made in U.S.A.

    Im big on buying American. As a guy that has spent a large portion of his adult life working in manufacturing (other than time in the military and the oil patch) I like to support folks like me. But I also learned long ago that producing cheap stuff is how companies make their money now. Both...

    Killing the grass and planting there

    Yup. There are many succulents that grow in very cold climates. Take Opuntia fragilis for example. They can withstand temps as low as -40 F.

    If yall show up to the toys for tots run this fall ill have some broke out for that. If its better than the bit i aged ultrasonically when I first distilled it then itll be a win.

    Killing the grass and planting there

    With how crazy raspberries can get I wouldn't put them under the ac unit even though it is 3 feet off the ground. Id just cut the grass way down lay out some landscaping material and cover it with rock. It will get rid of a lot of headaches. If you feel you have to have something there for...

    Anybody know about backhoes?

    I worked for CNH for about five years. After seeing the serious quality issues and very low skill levels of most of the employees there I reccomend staying away from anything made by them within the last decade and a half. Just saying.

    Finishing basement.

    Thanks again. Was talking to a buddy at work. He did 20 as a seabee. Guess he has lots of experience with metal studs. Might have to pay him to help with beer. Once I get the build started I'll post pictures. And as always keep the advice coming.

    Bourbon. I like bourbon. I also like making bourbon. (yes legally) I've managed to come up with a pretty good mashbill. And Im within six months of my first run of it to be done aging. I also spent far too much time on my bikes. Or so says my wife. Im just about done with my latest bobber...
