Old member comes back

Post by greenthumb »

Good evening everyone :D

I am not a new member, but as I have had a break for a while and now nearly out of booze must return to my faveroute hobby :lolno:

So Thought I would say hello and reunite with you guys ,
I intend to get straight in with the vodka as the wife has nearly run out and I'm getting evil looks, I see a new wheat bran recipe the other day on here so probably give that a whirl , and then mess about with some flavoured vodkas, and try my hand at some gins, I have upgraded some still parts, now have so many bits i don't even know what to call my still anymore, but with some reading and remembering, it shall be up and running in the correct configuration :crazy:

I have run some delicious rum and also corn whiskey recipes that are my weekly drinks, god bless these recipes 😁

Hi hello. It's been a while - also for me. This is my first post in over 3 years. Nice to see I'm not the only one.

Welcome back! Any time I look at posts dating back years I realize just how many of my own gurus are no longer visible here. The clandestine nature of our hobby has it's constraints on freely sharing personnel information. There have been some members who dropped off the site only to daylight months or years later. If our brother dies we many times just don't know. There have been guys who suddenly disappeared who truly worried me, just suddenly gone.
It would be a great thing to have a post just to check in if you haven't posted for a while. That would answer questions like "What happened to Rad? Love him or not so much, it would be good to know how he is doing.... Just Sayin'

It would be a good thing to establish a 'Keeping In Touch' thread for all concerned . Would kind of save the embarrassment of asking questions like 'What Happened To R..?'.
I explained when I backed off some time back , but newer folks probably missed that . I'm sure the same has happened with others .
If you ain't the lead dog in the team , the scenery never changes . Ga Flatwoods made my avatar and I want to thank him for that .
