We where doing that on IRC 15-20 years ago already :wink: And swap your office chair to a WC and you'll never have to leave the shed. Naa, just kidding. But what do you do when you need to "go"? Train your family to supervise it, or what?

I think I have a good setup, my shop is about 125 feet from the house and sits in the middle of 5 acres. When I am doing a run I never leave the building, I can sit at my computer and work while I keep an eye on my copper baby. I have it setup in a lean-to on the back side of the shop so I do not have issues with fumes from the burner. Last winter I was playing with some malt extract and that shit foamed up and made one hell of a mess, I don't even want to think about what would have come down if I had been off getting a nooner. My take is just stay with it and make good cuts and the best sipping whiskey you can get.

I made the same leap a while back. Original router wouldnt quite make it. Had to give the signal a boost. Now everything is A-OK 8)

Pringles can acts like a super low budget yagi antenna, and can push out transmission/reception to a specific direction, a LONG way (compared to the little wimpy antenna on the router).

Just be sure your wireless encryption is good enough, or the neighbor kid down the block will air-crack you, and now you have his traffic tied to your router.

Guys, GUYS......this just proves how easily it is to get distracted :) The topic was about keeping our stills supervised. Not our wireless setups.

Yes, but without my wireless setup, it would be hard to babysit my still for the day. :lol:

We are a strange bunch. I bet some enterprising entrepreneur could make a pinup calendar of shiny stuff, and 1/2 the members here would buy several copies.

No wonder those vermin at still drinkin did as well as they did. Shiny copper, 1/2 naked skanks, what else would we want (other than a still that actually WORKED).

Naked skank... :twisted:

And, so as not to sound gender insensitive, the women would probably like naked hunks... "Is that a reflux column between your legs or are you just glad to see me? :shock: "

This topic has gone down the toilet :roll: I guess everything sensible has been covered already. Gender has nothing to do with it. As the gay man I am, I would enjoy a hunk with a shiny column in the ads too. Just don't tell my husband! :twisted:

Thanks guys, for the laughs :lol:
