Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Sun May 09, 2010 9:01 pm

I've heard that some do...

Not that I know about that.

Oddly enough, I heard a thing on the radio a few days ago about the rise of home distilling in places like the suburbs and city apartments.

Making liquor for private use is legal same as beer or wine. Oddly enough the amount of liquor you can make, is the same as the amont of wine you can legally make; 50 gallons. Go figure!

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Sun May 09, 2010 9:49 pm

I'd like to try making some, some day..........I've never tasted "moonshine".................

Just finished watching "Deadwood"............I do love that show.

They sure do.
Some of it's legal.
Incredibly sweet and smooth, done well.

And yet, competitive with heptane.

I requested my time off for the event at the beginning of this month, WAY in advance so it gets approved early. I did the same request months in advance last year as well, and about two weeks before the trip to BRC, the bosses we're talking about declining my paid vacation due to "lack of coverage"...

(really ? Get the fuck out!!)

My smile did not skip a beat as I told them I would call in sick every single day for the event days, sorry, don't know what to tell ya

Lack of coverage?
For what?
Your mobile?

You do know what the primary drink was in places like that, don't you?
They pour all the leftovers into a barrel.
That's the basic drink.
Called it grog or something.

"Gimme a drink."

Deadwood was one of the best ever. Some it very Shakspearean. AND very gritty. Wonderful language and dialog. Loved it!

Hope all you moms had a good one!

Sputnik is likely just about home now. We had a nice visit yesterday.

Time to sleep!

Night all

I tried some out in the dust actually one year at the Moonshine Tavern (even have a shotglass from there, located in 9'oclock keyhole). I just took a thimble-sized amount shot and it t a t t o o e d my tastebuds

!! Felt my face lightly glow and go numb...tasted I suppose like paint thinner. Could only imagine what a few belts of it would be like (you wouldn't be walking out on your lips. Your lips would have to call a cab

Just getting off work, unwinding to a Widmer Broken Halo brew & some sweet/hot beef jerky--breakfast of champs!

If it snows that much, we'll have to tunnel you out.
Plows aren't gonna work.

Gyre:
your such a card...............hahha, .......you'll be dealt with later.

Hahaha, Cc.........good description......I've heard 'shine can be very different........some as you describe, some, very smooth and pleasant.

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Mon May 10, 2010 6:38 am

for sure ygmir---can carve an ice sculpture by opening up the backdoor

Morning gyre, how's the weather in your area? Beautiful day yesterday & should be today in NE Oregon...after about 2 1/2 weeks of constant rain/sleet/below freezing temp, I'm ready for a change. Plus it's easier to walk home from the bar when your not walking for survival . . .

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Mon May 10, 2010 6:41 am

Oregon weather.

65 and rainy.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Mon May 10, 2010 6:43 am

Cc, I didn't know you're in NE Oregon.
I go that way to Washington, sometimes, up 395.

Luckily, my elevation is 2800', so, no snow here, just rain.
And, my gladiolas are just coming up, so, it'll be good for them.
Cherries and plumbs have already set fruit, so, all is well........

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Mon May 10, 2010 6:51 am

Yea, we sit about 2,500ft. here, very pretty friendly little valley. Grew up here (and after going across the states & back, plus living in Seattle) have never found such a sanctuary of nature. Maybe that's too intense a description, buuut, I suppose I have somewhat of a small town heart (with a big city mentality

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Mon May 10, 2010 7:07 am

Boy my timing is sucky, I missed Cc....again....and now I see I missed BoxBurner too...darn it! Miss ya bro!

how was your bday weekend LeChat? good hopefully, like Karine said...I wanna do over and a great day yesterday!

Believe it or not the weather was strange enough to let us pull off Mom's day Brunch. Glad that we opted to do everything in the oven.

Only after everyone had gorged themselves and was out in the camper for safety meeting did the sky open up and rain...we figured screw it we'll just hang out here till it stops...10 minutes tops...

Went back in the house and said our goodbyes to those that needed to head out...then as the crowd thinned...nap attack!

Luckily I kept loosing my mimosa...I couldve woke up with a hang over...but nope...felt great and rested....yay for Moms day!
