Here I sit at one of my customers. I'm a mobile service tech. I'm working on a piece of equipment for them. And what are they unloading and stacking next to me? 15 pallets of 50 lbs bags of Dextrose. Some times its really hard to keep from grabbing stuff and throwing it in the van. They make cereal sweetener. The stuff they coat like frosted flakes or miniwheats with. This place is just full of fermentables. I must keep composure. I can do this. Get me the hell out of here.
Yes I have. But I don't come out here enough to know who's my best choice. And I don't know if I could get it out to my van. Tight security for a little sugar.
PP, That just wouldn't sound good in the big house when your cell mate asked what you were in for........well...stealin sugar see ya in the weight room
Sometimes I wonder why is that Frisbee getting bigger......and then it hits me.

It's all about the punctuation - "Stealin', sugar. See ya in the weight room!" is not the same as - "Stealin sugar. See ya in the weight room."
One of the perks with my work.Down cooler in orchards usually means free or near free fruit as tip for fixin it.Once got a pickup bed full of over ripe peaches for 5 bucks. Tipped the forklift driver for loading them
Tater,
When ya run across a deal like that do ya have to go go go like a wildman in order to get everything processed?. Or do you have enough of a system ( or freezer space) in place that ya can process at a reasonable pace?

Not trying to answer for Tater, but we do live in a cooler state than Florida!

Ive got 2 freezers and a couple of 55 gallon barrels ( figure 6 bushels per barrel) .Also have a few friends who live in same area take what I cant use.Gives me a chance to make pure brandy when that happens. Picked up a used free 9x11 walk in cooler while back for taking it down and hauling it off but haven't gotten it set back up yet.Friend who works at supermarket other day called and asked if i wanted 8 bushels of over ripe nectarines that produce manager wouldn't accept.Told him I like to have them but didn't have time to get by and get them right away.They are in markets walk in freezer waiting on me to come get them. .Nice to have friends who like a sip now and then .
When I worked in a homebrew store, I used to make other people hate their jobs.
sitting at the counter, sipping on a fancy import my boss brought in, and making tasting notes when a customer walks in and says in a stern voice:
"does your boss know you are drinking that at work?!"
"He should- he brought it to me for lunch."
he replies by his shoulders sagging, and saying "awwwww, man- I gotta get a better job!"

But don't really want to find out.
