SOH just made a counter offer . You host a party and she will come along as kitchen help and bring a bottle of her kahlua .

Still , there are consequences . Stickin around the fire until the last dog is hung delivers some benefits .
SOH and I will hoist the 4 oz I brought home in toast to all and the memory of a good time had by all .
SOH missed all you folks , too . She's hinted that she might let me host another gathering year after next .
Somebody else will have to pick up the slack next year . That's already being discussed .

I just realized, as of a week ago I have been a member here for 5 years now I was actually a lurker for some time before that and still have a bottle of all-bran that I made back in 2013. I found it the other day and tried it and I still think it's pretty darn good. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a little reading
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us nonetheless.

Re: The liar's bench
Cranky you dont look five years old! Seems longer my friend. Time passes all too quickly especially when you're having fun. I haven't been around much as other things come along and the deck is reshuffled. All the cards are still in play but there is only one joker in the deck and he rarely shows up. I talked to Jimbo today to wish him a happy birthday. It was good to hear from him and we spoke of HD so i made time to visit here tonight. Not even TB misses me as i havent heard from him either. Call a man every week on the same day at the same time for six months and miss two calls and no one notices. Oh well, i think i am gonna take this Husky Varner and cut the leg off this damned bench and set it back in place with some of this damned clay mud until TB comes back around to whittle. Feel like burning something too. Damned me! Ole Mayor's wife got them granny bloomer of hers hanging on the line. They'll make a good start!

Good to see you are just a cantankerous as ever Mr. Flatwoods. Notice I said Mister as I heard you are a gentleman farmer these days.

I understand space limitations . That's reason not to host one because it's hard to turn folks away on account of available space . I think you got credit on 'The Bench' for your contributions this year .BayouShine wrote:If I only had the space to do it.

Re: The liar's bench
Flatwoods ,
You randy old goat ! You've been keeping yourself so busy between storms and cane farmin that you even missed S3 18 . I been busy since spring , too . Pried loose a Friday to Sunday trip for me and Jed to attend S3 18 .
Since spring we got a mile of high pressure water line across the farm and a mile and a half of all weather gravel road for the gas company to reach their booster pump at the back end of the farm .
That includes 2 miles of new 5 strand fence and 2 cattle guard crossings .
6,000 tons of gravel and they are still trucking in stone .
Our contractor is within 3 weeks of finishing a 1,280 sq ft final phase addition to our house .
We been a little busy .
SOH is getting the second shoulder replacement done 10/23 and taking a month off from work .
I was just about to call you and see if you could run them storms off long enough for us to visit a day or two in November .
You don't seem to be holding as much sway with Mother Nature as you have claimed in earlier posts .
I'll be callin .
Butch

Re: The liar's bench
Sad day here . Have a pull off an indiscriminant jug of white dog AG and kick back for a while .
SOH is recovering slower than expected from last Friday's total shoulder replacement .
We had planned to do a last road trip while she was in recovery to visit the middle daughter , Flatwoods , And a lifelong friend in Chassahowitkska , FL .
That friend had suffered with what his PCP had diagnosed as acid reflux for 3 weeks prior to his wife insisting that he go to the hospital last Tuesday .
He died today from liver cancer that might have been treatable if diagnosed in time .
Just a fucked up day .
SOH healing so slowly is going to screw our trip to see Flatwoods before Thanksgiving .
Just , DAMNIT ! ......................

Re: The liar's bench
That's a darn shame Butch, misdiagnosis can be a bad thing. Damn "horse doctor" mum was seeing told her she had some infection and she was on and off antibiotics for a blasted year I begged her to see another Doctor one that wasn't a hick town quack. Well luckily that clown got sick and she had to see another Doctor who knew in an instant it was something else as it was pain on the wrong side for a start. She had had bowel cancer for the last year and it was massive, just how it didn't cost her her life is little short of a miracle. Sorry it wasn't a happier outcome for ya old mate.
My ex's stepdad was and is a good friend, I was friend with him before I even knew the ex. Years ago I knew all his old drinking buddies but they have just about all gone now. I travelled with him to his stepbrother's funeral the other day, a bloke a fair bit younger than he and an all round nice fella. He got into some off chicken and it laid him out for a good few weeks. Anyways a few weeks back they said he was good enough to go home so checked him out of hospital and barely a week later he was back with massive organ failure, liver kidneys etc, I'm guessing they didn't do one damn test on him before sending him home as a simple blood test should have showed liver problems. Doesn't alway pay to blindly trust the Doctor.

I am sorry for your losses, Truckinbutch.
Lost my best friend when he was only 56 and that is not funny at all.

Re: The liar's bench
Sorry to here of the loss Butch.
Hope the wife gets to feeling better sooner rather than later and you all get to take a trip before the weather gets too bad to travel.
Haven't been around alot myself due to work and all but I did manage to knock down 3 ferments yesterday
Rum .126
HBB AG .068
Sweetfeed .075
Also been working on some more meads to bring to wherever S3:19 will be held.
Gathering up cider to make a proper brandy since our trees didn't do squat this year.
On a high note, I got a raise, company truck and a new Hitachi ex400 Excavator.

Re: The liar's bench
a raise huh? those fellas must be smart enough to know an ex 400 can dig a hole deep enough the cadaver dogs can't smell 'em.
new truck is always a welcome perk too.

Kiwi, ya'll gotta remember that down your way things turn in the opposite direction. Next time turn the belly button anti-clockwise an it'll all work out proper.
