As Tater would say:

BEFORE YOU ASK READ READ READ: C/ and http://homedistiller.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow http://distillers.tastylime.net/library/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow - I use a potstill

There is a wealth of information here, look up whatever you want to know on http://homedistiller.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow ....a very easy read

Tater, I always meant to ask you does your scarecrow in your Avatar do a good job. Is that the one you use in earnest? :D
