Native Texan as well. Born in San Antonio but mostly grew up near Temple. Been in Kansas since 17 though. Minus the years in the navy that is. Spent those mostly in Virginia and a little in Pensacola with some time in the Middle East as well.

Now the important question seeing as how we're all Texans here. Which football teams do y'all pull for. Longhorn fan myself.

Im from north of Amarillo. Spent a lot of time down in your area when I was younger. Before I was married I used to do a lot of partying down around that area. Suds and Sounds, Polk street block party, lots of nights I cant remember down in lubbock back in college but the memories I do have make me smile. Ive even partied in a little place called Cotton Center and just about every where else in that region. Lived in Hereford and Friona for a while. Lots of good people down there. Good memories of those places, to quote Toby Keith "Nights I cant remember with friends Ill never forget". Life was good back when my biggest responsibility was a truck payment and my share of the rent.lol Now its a drink or two at the shop and off to bed so I wont be sluggish at work. My how things have changed. lol :egeek:

East Texas, Piney woods, Big Thicket area. Glad to see all of the Texas people here. A lot of reading here and if you do your homework there is not much you can't cook up. If you have any AG beer brewing experience it will be a cinch for you so you can concentrate on building what will best suit your taste. Sounds like a simple pot still may be the place for you to start.
