  1. I just use some of this stuff as a floor under my hut. OH, and really good boots.
  2. I hear they are talking with the Grand Valley Twisters pee wee house league team looking for some talent to bring up for tomorrow.
  3. UGGGH!!!!! More bad news. Kessel left practice early with an undisclosed injury.
  4. Finally managed to get out for a little hard water fishin’!! Spent a few hours fishing a little lake North of town for some whities. Wasn’t disappointed as we got a few for dinner. I was surprised that the lake already had 2 feet of ice on it. A couple of shots of the lake The spoils!! Pre-cooking Post cooking Four minutes and eighteen seconds later!!!
  5. WOOHOO!!!!!!! WINGS WIN!!!!!!!! WINGS WIN!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE ALFIE!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. No problem. I forgot about this link until Purenewf reminded me. http://homedistiller.org/intro/intro Tons of good info there too.
  7. You are correct about acetone production. There is also methanol which is even worse. They are the most volatile of the alcohols and as such boil @ the lowest temp and come off first. This is why the fore shots (between 50ml and 200ml depending on distillation method) are discarded. The heads ( early safe distillate) and tails (late distillate) are mostly recycled in the next run as they contain off flavours that can adversely effect taste. You are then left with the hearts which is the purest ethanol that is saved. Technically illegal yes but there are tens of thousands of people making for their own consumption. I certainly wouldn't be selling any to anyone as this will get you in a heap of trouble in a hurry.
  8. This will get you started.

  11. Yep, no problem!!! I have a hydroponic sugar cane grow op.
  12. I'm not gonna wait 6 years fer a dram of rum!!!! Plus I'm an amber rum guy. Maybe a nice Flor De Cana 25?
  13. Well I have decided to get into making me own booze as yet another hobby and to save a bunch of dough. Booze is anything but cheap up here in the NWT with beer averaging about $55 a two four and my beloved rum is $56 for a 40 ouncer. So while I'm waiting for my supplies to arrive from Texas lets here about your home brewing/distilling exploits!!!!
  14. Funny, that's how I feel about the Sens. I watch the games so I can cheer for the other team, who ever it is.
  15. Last night I watched a thoroughly entertaining Sens hockey game. They played a heck of a game and only let in 4 goals in the second period. Almost pulled out another win.
  16. Got a great data plan. It's paid for by the taxpayers!!! :tease:
  17. It's OK. I see a win on Friday against the Sabres and a good game on Saturday against the sideways toilet seats.
  18. Haven't been out since the lakes froze up. Got at least a foot on most of the smaller lake now. Maybe this weekend I'll get out.
