Welcome Mike! I'm also from Louisiana.

Thanks for the welcome back.

He passed back in the fall of 2016 from cancer. It had been a few months since I had spoken with him and I didn't have a clue he was sick. I found out when his daughter posted a picture in memory of him on facebook....it was a shock to the system no doubt. The prior summer I drove over to visit with...

Good morning yall. I'm posting here because I feel like I'm new. I've been out of the loop for quite a bit about 7-8 years I think. I don't think I've logged in since just prior to the passing of a friend of mine that was also a member here, "WalkingWolf". Just this morning I received an e...

goodness gracious... it was a joke... :crazy: A joke that I shouldn't have typed... :silent: and by the way, i've seen pictures of what alcohol vapor does to a aluminum boiler.... it won't last... think the pictures were on this site somewhere a few months back... anyha.. just use copper or stainles...

How about aluminum?? lol.. jus jokin..

I take 200ml per 12 gallons...give or take... that might not be right though..

What's a thumper?... maybe I can come up with a new idea for one...?? ha ha!!

The mead turned out fine after sitting for a while... it had a bitter taste to it at first but it seems to have died out and has a mellow citrus taste with no bite if that makes any sense..... anyhow... think it was 18 bottles to start... down to about 10 now... lol... gunna try to hold the rest unt...

Hogs are everywhere in the south now a days... I hunt mostly in Louisiana..but do a bit in Alabama and in Texas also... and every place I go seems to have hogs... they can be a pain in the ass for landowners (mostly farmers) cause they tear everything up...but they are just fine in any of my cookin ...

welcome aboard arkanshine!!

I've always really liked listening to different dialects. It is sort of a fascination of mine, kind of a game I've always played. I try to determine what region someone is from by listening to the words that are said. Within Arkansas there are about 7-8 different dialects, southern Missouri has a f...

I have been thinking about gettin a couple barrels... maybe just a couple liters each... would look cool on the counter and be doing some other good at the same time!! damn things are high as giraffe ass though
