Oh ! What the hell, I will say it. I cannot even type because I am f*** up. Oh darn, my sweetie just came in........ I am out of here. Get my drift. Have a happy day.

When you are packing up at one hotel, place what's left of a bottle of bourbon in the suitcase, and your youngest instinctively packs around it and says "daaaad, don't just put it there, you have to hide it so nobody finds out".
It's been so long since I had "legit" alcohol, she didn't even think about it.

When your SOH says, "It's probably a good thing wives can't be forced to testify against their husbands.".

When the SOH sez about the new digs, "Well, ya got yer hobby room. You ain't running that thing on propane in the garage anymore. Time to turn it elektric an' do it in your man cave. Get those fermenters outta the bathtub while yer at it too."

Re: You know you are a Shiner when…
In the morning before work you debate doing a little more soldering on your next still or posting on the forum and wind up doing both and getting to work late.

You watch your wife prepare a batch of hummingbird food and you think, "damn, that's a lot of sugar".

Re: You know you are a Shiner when…
I am at my sons house cleaning and taking out the tube of 15 gal ss keg I had just got
My 7 yr old grandson comes up and asks what it was my son tells him its what grandpa makes moonshine in I could have killed son
well a few minutes later my grandson comes to me and says "Grandpa thanks for making moonshine."
I died laughing.
then a couple of weeks later grandson is at my house I had 2 glass carboys one with corn mash clearing and a yellow color and the other with molasses mash clearing.
So grandson goes to grandma and says " Grandpa has some lemonade and tea in 2 big jars"
Grandma tried to explain what it was so he says "Can I have some when it's done"
The look she had was so funny.

Re: You know you are a Shiner when…
You know you're a shiner when you see sugar on sale and buy the maximum 8 bags and then go back for 8 more...then when you get home find out the wife "did you a favour and picked up 16 bags" too which means she had to have made a special second trip through the lineup to get the second 8 bags.
64kg of sugar...and I was doing AG at the time....BUT IT WAS A SALE!!
