S3/17 Truckorama

[Truckinbutch]

4 months and counting!!! Honestly cannot wait.

I can because it gives me more time to get more stuff made and try to make this year better than last . Family reunion like this is hard to wait for .

[Plc Ryan]

Sure wish I could but looking at a 22 hour drive all the way from the north. Not too mention we don't close up shop here until the end of October so it's a little hard to take off for a weekend. Hope everyone has a great time can't wait to hear about it.

[Truckinbutch]

Flatwoods gave me hell this week because he had to read the whole thread to find the party dates .
So , to accommodate the elderly and infirm I will post again :
September 8 to 11 , 2017 .
I'll bump this from time to time over the coming months because he will probably forget .

[ga flatwoods]

Like. TY

[Truckinbutch]

Got a line on a local t shirt provider . $13-22 depending on size and I can pick them up . He's working with his IT guy to set up online ordering like last year .
Will give you more when I find out more .

'Butch. I'd kick a crippled bunny to meet some of you guys.

Ya! .

Was really planning to try making this event this year... Due to a recent "invitation" from the US government to spend some quality time in Afghanistan.... I can no longer make those plans

Godspeed to you rgreen.

I duplicated one link . What do you all think ?

[OtisT]

Hey Butch, Just curious but am I to assume your the driver in these pics? If so, who are the three monkeys?

The little dude with the hot rod reminds me of dads old R Crum, hot rod, and other "shop" magazines in the early 70s. Made me smile thinking of that.

[jedneck]

Otis have a read through the liars bench for the story on the monkeys. May want a big drink its a long read.

'Stroker Ace was born to race
He had a mean streak ten feet wide
A Son of a Gun with a taste for fun
And more than his share of pride
Take a dirt road curve with the Devil's nerve
And make a car dance across the mud
Haulin shine was his regular line
'Til the big trucks got in his blood
He was a real hot shot and he bragged a lot
But Man , that fool could drive
'Cause he loved the feel of a steering wheel and the girls with the bedroom eyes '
That be me in my younger days . Ya get old quick when you play as hard as I did .
Jed nailed it as far as the monkeys . Pour yourself a tall drink and visit 'The Liar's Bench' .

[DSM Loki]

I like that second one. Can't wait to get together with the family again.

I'll be bringing a sample of the uj I've been making in white, and hopefully I'll have a bottle that's been oaked for a year.

Option One

Damn funny, dude put the supercharger on the roof!

I'm still talking to the author on this one to add the supercharger and header outa the side of the engine area.

Does anyone like these ideas? Or just a plain S3 2017 logo?

Education track for S3/17 Truckorama

I'd like to start talking up some ideas for educating ourselves during this weekend.

1) CUTS Training has been very popular the last couple years

2) I'd like to bring a NIXON Stone Offset head and rig for a MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON here to lead the training on how to run it properly.
That'd damn sure help me out a whole bunch.

- who might volunteer their expertise?

3) How about doing a full ALL GRAIN MASH cooking process tutorial? (bourbon mash bill) [hehehehehe !]
- help our UJSSM devotees to move up the foodchain.

4) What other ideas ?

[Truckinbutch]

It's my intention to have at least one batch for a cuts seminar in half pint jars like last year .
Last year's blend has become very interesting and it was just an all feints run .
Again , I want to thank Varocketry for his above and beyond the call efforts on t-shirt design and procurement .
It's your party , folks . Ya gotta give us some input on what you desire .

Not only cuts, but also blending to make the final batch. I'd be interested to see how others decide what stays and what goes.

[thecroweater]

My 2 cents is suggestion 3 is dern lot better than 2, if things went pear shaped mashing "beer" won't make the Dominion Post

I like that there's a blower in the sleeper.
I like both designs, but I cast a vote for the triple axle tractor trailer!

@RandyMarsh

Yo, RM, will you be the KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON to lead the training on how to run a NIXON Stone Offset head ????

I have issues with discussions of a meeting that defines an illegal event. I'm just a simple guy that likes shine, and likes to drink with friends. I did not sign up for an active still.

I thought this was made clear with the previous comments, but it obviously didn't sink in.

Tell me now if this is the intended path, so I can choose my own path.

You're a good guy VA, but this is stupid. There are 51 other weekends that you can find a friend or class to sign up with to teach you how to run your still. This is supposed to be a fellowship weekend. Making beer and blending whiskey is alright and pretty legal. But leave the still home.

[MichiganCornhusker]

There will be no stilling equipment on site during the party .

[Truckinbutch]

I'm up for cutting and blending and setting up on the patio to cook beer with enzymes and/or malt .
The other rules from last year still apply .
Thank you MCH .

Can we blow some shit up with explosives? Always a hit at my parties!
