Can I add my cost of reading it too?

I guess it's because of posts like this that I'm still an apprentice?

I get a chuckle anytime somebody factors in paid time for a hobby.. Sure when firewood or cleaning time comes around it only seems appropriate somewhere in my head.. (Well not firewood with my current setup atleast) But then I remember that liquid that drips out.. If you drink that stuff before doing the tedious stuff (Stuff a drugged monkey could do safely), it really dulls the pain of the work aspect..

This hobby pays out better than knitting.. All my gramma ever got for the sweaters she knit me was a thank-you..

And then there is sledding.. Thats a really work intensive hobby, but I've yet to see an 8 year old do up a cost/benefit analysis..

I'm from Canada though.. ETOH at the LCBO works out to about $80-100/Litre(~32Oz).. Premium beers surpassed $10 for a 6pack a while back too.. Needless to say, most Canadians couldn't afford the alcohol required to live up to the stereotype Doug, Bob (and I can only assume Stompin' Tom Connors) have perpetuated..

That's true - even if you were in Afghanistan when it was invaded.

You can sit there for years, or plead guilty so they dont have to bring forth the evidence.
Then swear you were not tortured and you did this, that and whatever , so that if you deny it later on you can be charged with perjury. - Then you can go home sit in a local gaol until the local elections are over and you're no longer an issue.
Then if the local Govt is returned they'll make your life a misery with surveillance and perhaps restriction orders - because you're a convicted terrorist.
Then there's no guarantee the alternative Govt will act differently.

But 9 months (+5years ) is better than 20 years (+5 years).

But then - hicks dont have no rights.

Hydro bills aren't going to make them think you're shinin'.. They'll assume you're growing.. Its a major influence on the installation of "Smart Meters" here in Ont because they can analyze your usage at any exact moment in history.. Believe it or not, thats good for those who still alot as long as they don't mimick grow-op lighting cycles.. The only person I know who has had the RCMP (plainclothes btw) knock on the door was a buddy in ThunderBay who had an early summer electric pool heater bill that jacked his average total by about 300%.. They stated who there were and reason for suspicion and 'asked' (without presenting a warrent even if they had one) to be able to look around briefly stating that they had no intention of caring about minor stuff (Gary really did look like a pothead of sorts). That they wanted to peek into rooms, basement, and crawlspace.. He said sure, but he wanted to let his wife get dressed first and they were fine with that.. The inspection lasted ~5 minutes then they drank some coffee and talked about the absurd number of current grow ops:)..

Agreed, but this guy had nothing to hide, and got lucky that he had nothing that he didn't realize should be hidden, and got lucky that he didn't get jerk cops.. I actually think they had a warrent because I've seen the tactic before where they goat ppl into making stupid moves after the fact out of fear while being watched, often involving more ppl and making a better "Cops tooting their own horn" news story because then they can call it a crime syndicate..

Edit: I hate to be a nitpicker, but I'm a white male Descended from German/Irish lineage.. The Irish granted had to fight for basic freedom from the Brits, but in Colonized North America that has basically always been the way since 1791.. Unless you mean the War of Independance I don't think the 4th ammendment right (and Canadian constitutional eqv) has truly been fought for unless you consider the struggle since then to keep it, which could currently use a few more good soldiers in my opinion.. Geez Death of a President was disturbing, ignore me..

early 1900s

Thats why Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. (John F. Kennedys father) pushed his boys so hard to buy/win the presidency.

Sorry about the politics but in all fairness, its been 40 years.

Ahim....
You two have gotten slightly off topic.
Are you talking about the cost of making alcohol or the cost of equality?

Post by **Tater** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 4:35 am

Its supposed to be about cost of our hobby.

Umm

...

Wow?

Sorry Loki

I now see that your thread was asking "costs of manufacturing 1lt. of 95% alcohol", not the Irish or RUM or anything else. I didn’t know my one off the subject post would totally hijack your thread.

Please accept my apology.

I'm not offended a bit! I got a lot of great responses. I am currently looking into all the ways I can cut my costs. Bulk yeast, getting propane tanks filled instead of switching them out at the convience store. Bulk sugar. Looking for a good tomato paste recipe for a 25lt. wash, as that seems to be the cheapest way to make sugar wash. I found one for 80lt, but that is beyond the scope of my needs as I am only about to do my second run...

Thanks everyone!
