Home Distiller

And seriously. Look up Fuzzy's Tacos. If there's one near you get some. Then thank me later.

I carried a tool box for 9 years. My sidearm of choice was a Ford wrench. Ended up with 4 expeditionary medals, numerous other medals, and a purple heart. Was bombed, grenaded, and shot at both on the ground and in the air. Not real sure what that has to do with distilling. But tacos were involved in one of those incidents. Never got to finish those tacos. The first one was good. Again with the tacos. Sory.

Nothing to do with distilling at all PP. just brought up that my life experience had thickened my skin plenty and that "Beaten Dog Syndrome" was not a problem for me earlier.

My weapon of choice was usually a multi-meter. Or a corrosion control kit.

Purple Heart huh? Damn. I've got two Armed Forces Expeditionary and Global War on Terror Expeditionary. Not sure what most of my "stack" was even for anymore. Glad I never "Earned" that one though.

The DFAC had a damn solid taco bar. After Mongolian barbecue night that was my favorite.

The steak was pretty good too as far as beef jerky goes.

This forum is no different then the rest of the world over. You get this many different people together talking about the same subject. Someone is going to get butt hurt.

It always amazes me when the internet becomes like the real world. I just can't get over it ...

If you insist on talking tacos, and you don't want the pics posted here, then make mine double chicken, with a side salad. OK?

I'll be back later to pick it up.

Bye for now...

There is a mexican meat market down the road from here. They bring fresh killed calves and pigs in the shop all the time and put out a great assortment of meats everyday. I got some fajitas, straight off the quartered calf the other day. They cut them thin, like a 1/4 inch... Sear that up with onions and jalapenos and good tortillas. Freakin heaven on earth kind of taco...

If you like tacos, try this... take an avocado and about 3 jalapenos. Fire roast the japs and chop them up. Chop them seeds, black skin and all. Mash them into the avocado and add salt and pepper to taste. Put that on your taco... stupid good eats...

Damn it, now i want a taco...

Agreed, how do we get past noob stage if we can't read what the masters have to say??? I was always told growing up there is never a stupid question just and uninformed one.

Unfortunately, from a programmers standpoint, implementing the logic you have proposed is far more complicated than one might think... It would require more artificial intelligence and fuzzy logic than would be practical, not to mention the additional processing burden on the server...

I'm a web developer and I have to say that it would be a little tricky but wouldnt put any more burden on the server than loading a page, most of the processing could be done client side, It can be done.

I wrote a script to scan CVs (resumes) for key words and phrases then flag up advice depending on if it did or did not find the key word or phrase.

There's so much info to read on here and I think I might be addicted..lol so much so that I bout burnt up 6 slabs of ribs due to being so drawn to all the knowledge of the fine individuals on this site

I'm comin on 63 yrs old . Grew up in a coal camp/rural farming environment . My public education was limited . My quest for education is limited only by the hours I can remain awake . I lost 2 brawl/fights in my lifetime , first place winner in 2 gunfights and 1 knife fight . Survived the logging woods , 20 years underground in a coal mine , rodeo riding and horse breaking , and over 20 years of over the road trucking in specialized and heavy haul . Developed machine shop , welding/fabrication , and woodworking skills as part of my self improvement program .
My tolerance for people that ask to be spoonfed rather than use due dilligence to access information that has been made available to them is very limited . I have been learning here as the moderators requested . Any reason why other posters shouldn't do the same ?

at yalls finger tips is what it took the ole boys a lifetime to live an still not no what what yall can
learn in 6 months if you wanna. i rekon it a generation thang . all folks dont need to be makein likker.

so im tole

Well said TB. I also think anyone not willing or able to do their own research and learning should pick another hobby. Mistakes are inevitable....NOT good!!

WOW.. This topic took a right turn in a hurry.... Is this what "livin on HD" is all about...lol
I probably check in about 10 times a day to see who is doing what. Still picking up a lot of good info. I find my self reading some of the older post. The whole KS thing makes for some good reading.. I've made a couple of stills over the winter. I will post some pic's in my thread " my next and last still build " .... I guess that title was a lie......ftlog

I'm not sure if I should admit it, but I do.

DS

Guilty as charged. So much knowledge here and interesting characters how could you not get hooked.

I'm quite fond of taco's too.

I'm just glad this topic returned back to what it was meant to be...a discussion on always being here, lol.

It went sideways in a hurry, thanks Kansas boy for bringing it back!

Thank you , sir for having my back .
Kansas Boy and Goose eye , y'all are easy to like , too .

I am on here alot,7-8 times aday or more and back and forth to the cast bullitboard and streetrods.

I'm on here way to much lately..... They need something to kick you off after a certain amount of time. I've been really tired at work lately, to much late night reading.

OMG, no way. There is already enough bitchin back at the board management, without some forced log off rules being added.

I started to ask this as a PM because I didn't want my internet ignorance to show, But others may need to know too and this looks like a good place to ask considering the topic. So here go's.

I have been living on HD a lot. Many times I get distracted, and my log on ends up active all night, as I don't shut down my PC because it is running my security system....Am I wasting HD's band width? If so I need to make a better effort to log off.

The first stupid question I asked on here was greeted with a PM basically saying that was a stupid question. Didn't bother me in the least. As a matter of fact I appreciated the way it was handled. He got his point across and I wasn't publicly embarrassed. A pretty classy way of handling it I thought. I'm far from thin skinned but when you are way out of your comfort zone things are different. Imagine being in a porno movie with John Holmes a d having Mr Holmes make fun of your tool on camera. Rhino skin wouldn't be good enough for that one.

No, not at all... The way the internet works is that communications are packed based so if you don't request a page the server doesn't send you anything... Now there are some sites that use code to automatically update information, like advertisements, but that they are usually served by different servers than the site you are actively visiting... I leave HD, as well as other sites, up on multiple PC's 24/7...

Good to know . I , too , tend to read myself to sleep in my studies here .

I'm here almost daily. Hardly ever fail to learn something. And I do agree, some people don't have the tact necessary to prevent themselves from looking like a$$holes. Plus it's sometimes hard to interpret the tone of something that's written. If we look back at some of our first posts, I think we'll all agree that every one of us looked "young and foolish" when we first got started. Hopefully we learn and move on.

AZCZ,

I disagree. When I started out here, I was old and stupid. A few months of reading took off most of the rough edges. The education has been extensive and fun. The process of learning is what I enjoy the the most, but there is so much more than that here.
