I’m gettin’ old
Yesterday I had a tiny bit of Crows Run left in a half gallon jar. Figger’d I would just put it in a smaller, pint jar and clean up. Reached in the closet for a jar and WHAT THE HELL? There was 16 pints of white dog! Goddam! Checked my records and my last run was August. I must have finished airing the product and the grand kids were coming over for supper, so I put them on the canning shelf and forgot ‘em. 4 month old white dog is damned good! Guess tomorrow I’ll make some cuts and oak some hearts, but tonite… Very, Very Merry Christmas!
Double, Double, toil and trouble. Fire Burn and pot still bubble.

Patience is hard to bottle. But it gets easier as we become more forgetful. Nice surprise!

Re: I’m gettin’ old
Out of sight, out of mind.
About a year ago, I found a gun I had impulse purchased several years prior when I was in the gun store to pick up some tax stamp items.
I brought that revolver home and put the case up on a shelf in my closet. I figured I'd get to it later, the most important thing on my mind that day was the NFA registered items I had waited 51 weeks for.
Well, the memory of that purchase had faded long before the novelty of the other items, and I completely forgot about it.
Fast forward a few years and I'm in the closet looking for the case for my 1911, and come across a case that's heavier than the other empty cases. When I opened it , I was completely surprised to find a brand new revolver that I'd never so much as taken out of the box once it passed over the counter into my possession.
I haven't forgot a single jar of spirits yet though.

Fear and ridicule are the tactics of weak-minded cowards and tyrants who have no other leadership talent from which to draw in order to persuade.

Well, in all honesty not 16 ‘full’ ones. Seems like 13 and 14 developed a leak. That or there’s some damned alcohol thieve’n snake around here.

Nice find Yonder, I've had a couple very similar finds myself and it's been a real treat. One of he few good things about gettin older...you can hide your own Easter eggs. OMD
