Experts only! Don't try this at home! (bighead board blues)

[Brett]

my theory is if u never try because everyone says its to hard then u will never know and if u dont share what u know then u will never learn.

[Tater]

Allmost as easy as falling off a log.Right Holy.

[Grayson_Stewart]

I know exactly what you mean Holy, I've tended to lurk at more of the other boards I'm interested in because of the same reasons you mentioned. Perhaps this board is better because distillers are more of a relaxed bunch by virtue of the hobby. It's nothing that can be done in a hurry, and the fruits of your labor relax you even more

[Tater]

Yep cept when im drunk and got to read the board next day to see what I might of posted.

[Grayson_Stewart]

Friends don't let friends drink and post.

[Jaeger]

I agree this board is very good compared to many. Maybe it has something to do with the 200 proof product it is dedicated to

[Professor Duck]

Drinkin' and postin' is an unappreciated artform.

Another forum I frequent has a certain thread for drunk people to post in. Maybe we should start one here.

[Grayson_Stewart]

Are you truly drunk if you still have the manners to post to the "drunk" thread?

[Tater]

Grayson told me he could tell when i was gettin drunk. Myspelling improved

[Virginia Gentleman]

Most of what I learned came from this board. The rest from Tony's site, Yahoo groups, Ian's book and hands on experience. I try to give back knowledge as often as I can. That's the way it works best. I agree, this is one of the best forums in terms of information sharing and knowledgeable posters not holding back. Thank ye all for that.

I haven't made a drunken post in some time. I will work on it.

Not sure if this is on topic, but here is my rant:

If you don't try something, how will you know if you like it or can do it? Most of the idiots in this world (somewhere around 80% are idiots according to my very scientific research) are content to do what they do, don't like change, and are afraid of anything they do not understand. It's not that they are dumb or unmotivated, they were taught to be that way by another idiot.

I pick my own wild berries to make wine & preserves, learned how to build & use a still, go fishing with home-made flies, smoke my own salmon, cater full-course meals for family gatherings (my apple pie is the stuff of legends), grow my own veggies in pots on the porch, can do the waltz, fox-trot & tango with my girlfriend of 3 years (with whom I have never had a fight) draw & paint, go camping in the summer & skiing in the winter, volunteer at the SPCA, play Texas hold'em with the boys every week & have rebuilt 2 motorcycle engines. And I have a day job. I'm sure there's more but I'm drinking & can't remember.

If I could figure out how to go into business with all this stuff I'd be rich (and my yellow pages add would have to be HUGE). No one appreciates the Jack-of-all-trades. All the money in the world goes to the specialists, but who wants someone who can do only 1 thing? Not me. Unless I need brain surgery.

I am slowly learning not to tell people they are idiots. They don't seem to appreciate it and worse, they might believe me. To each his own.

Only 80% ?



Oh, that's right, you dont live in the states

I'm with you on the wide-net varried skill and interest bit, It's suprising how many trades a farmboy needs to learn about. If Icould just learn patience...quickly.
