Your wife and daughter go up to the big city shopping for a "girl's day" and bring you home 200 lbs of sugar, some yeast, and other stuff from COSTCO, just because it was on sale.

When you ignore and rise above the ugly stereotypes associated with moonshine and are no longer insulted by the word but embrace it for it's value and true meaning to our craft.

When you say to yourself, I got to get myself to Cracker Barrel for some pancakes - even though you don't really like pancakes.

When your smoker has never seen store bought wood chips for a smoker(BBQ) but you keep buying them.
When your wife asks you to toast cherry wood chips to make the house smell good(350 for an hour)
When your wife smells ALL jars before she pours them out and washes them.
If you know what a street elbow is
If you put a TV couch and run satellite to a toolshed so you and the wife can enjoy dinner and a movie while multi tasking
When your 4 yr old tells mommy daddy probably needs sugar too.
When your BBQ sauce recipe starts1pt white dog and you're not from north Korea.....
When the people at hobby lobby think you make popguns for a living ( #10corks)
When beer bratwurst become whiskeywurst.
Seriously

You carry 50ml bottles in your pocket wherever you go(for agitation), with different woods mixed in for aging/flavoring experiments. :lol:

When you meet fellow HD members in the Maker's Mark Bar in Louisville, Kentucky, and instead of asking the waiter for a refill, it's the fellow HD member that has some "pancake marinade" to fill up your glass instead!

When the old man that owns the neighborhood grocery store (whom I've known since I was a little kid) follows you outside a politely asks for a jar of shine for his oldest son ..
Gladly obliged with a jar of clear corn ...They all loved it and told me to "put some caramel in it and put it on the shelf".......Priceless. :D
