I rarely drink any more, and never strait liquor, but moonshine always intrigued me. I loved the show "Moonshiners"...not sure why, but they would always be talking about how smooth it was...I was thinking, yeah smooth like kerosene!! They were even infusing it with cannabis.

this batch was made with peaches, and did it go down ever so good.....get it from a buddy of mine

he also does cherries, watermelon, mango, strawberries and apples

I accomplished stepping on a yellow jacket ground nest at work. Again. I have lost count how many times I've got stung this year. Will I become immune? Will I turn into a Jeff goldblum Fly like creature? It was horrifying to look down and see how many were on my ankle and boot. Luckily just one fell down my boot and got me.

We've got Bald Faced Hornets here, roughly twice as big as a standard Yellow Jacket ~ they have a very bad attitude and the ass to back it up!

Maybe we'd be better off calling them "receding face" bees. bongsmilie

Besides being jealous of chunky stool, I have been eating, drinking tea, oh and eating, hoovering, reading up on auto watering pots, bugger all oh and I ate stuff

The Milwaukee ph meter works great and I didn't even need to re-calibrate it.
It's a little slow getting a reading, but I'm a little slow so it works out. :eyesmoke:

Trivia - It's made in Romania.

That all sounds good!!

picked up a cheapo set of 16" masonry bits at Harbor Freight...I only need to drill one hole (in theory, lol) and they had decent ratings. Probably going to be tomorrow at this point before I get at it, plus the sun is shining so gonna go work in the garden some. Could frost here this week.

There's a fly about to lose it's life!! Suddenly went quiet, the fucker might be able to read!!

I remember a home inspection years ago, the inspector found termite evidence and recommended having an expert come in. The expert said there was termites at one time but wasps moved in and ate them. The seller was happy as he didn't have to pay for any extermination work.

Well here we go. I received some unsettling news from our farm network of neighbors. I got a text early yesterday morning from a neighbor grower on our road. As he was driving to town at first light he clearly saw a person dressed in a guilly suit run across the road behind him and into the brush. As the word went out, another neighbor said his crew reported someone throwing rocks at his drying shed before dawn. One of his crew was sleeping inside. Then another neighbor says he saw a drone overflying all of our farms 2 days ago.... :mad:
