  1. PS....be very careful about what you are actually selling when it comes to the "military" style. times have changed.
  2. "we need this right away" yet most provisions have been delayed in the roll out
  3. I would bet if you are making a profit at it you are screwed.
  4. Private sale is legal, but must comply with any rules of the carrier you are using. I bet it is going to really add to the price to ship it.
  5. no center drain in ours and can't see a need for one. Just one more thing to go wrong. I would pay the tab and have it put up by the company. I put in a 15x24 oval. fits to the deck I built better along the whole one side.
  6. tourism should be booming in a few years. with all the people moving out the rental prices of a house should really be headed down...lol
  7. Portions of Monroe County. 8C. NOT the entire county
  8. It is all about money. It has nothing to do with what a company like Remington thinks of the area or the people that work there. It, honestly, is out of their hands. I don't think Cerberus has sold Freedom Arms yet but remember the threats from the Union pension (Teachers specifically) after Sandy hook that Cerberus dump Freedom Arms or the pension funds get pulled from their investment $$'s. SO the company that owns Remington, Freedom Arms is owned by Cerberus and they have a huge portion of their business in managing some powerful Union pension funds. They are moving to avoid Unions and higher wages and healthcare costs paid leave. I guess if it is their members getting the perky at the benefit of others it is OK but they want their money protected from bloated and outrageous costs of doing business in NY. The Unions threatened to pull money fro Cerberus over the owning of a company like Freedom Arms (Remington), why aren't they threatening to pull their pension money over the loss of good union jobs in NY then?
  9. NO way on earth would I buy a still from a retailer. records, records and more records...lol. In person and for cash, maybe. Never never never on line.
  10. Ranger is right on. It is very simple once you understand the basics of what is going on in the jugs. While Youtube may be good for a basic idea I would shy away from there for any real advice on the "how to" side of things. I have seen some real yahoos and if you are just getting into it (wine/beer/distilling), it can be hard to filter any of the BS out. I would suggest this site to anyone that had an interest. These members know their stuff. One word of caution, They do not spoon feed new members. They take the craft very seriously and there is a movement to push for a hobby distilling bill in the USA just like the Wine and Beer. There is a great wine section on here as well. http://homedistiller.org/forum/index.php?sid=88a9521ea8a7ae84eeccaa31f09ee735 Ranger. One thing I have noticed. The Turbos are frowned upon for the distilling. Off flavors and for anything other than Neutral spirits (Vodka) they can impart off flavors into the end product. Most of the guys shoot for a ABV content in the single digits for the best flavors in the spirits like Brandies, whiskies, bourbons and such. I used the Redstar Champagne yeast in the hard cider I made and was able to get a ABV of 18 using it. For yeast in a mainly sugar water environment, nutrients seem to be the biggest staller of a ferment. Most brew shops sell yeast nutrients and is about 1-2 tablespoons per gallon. I would start there. Eliminate chlorine from water (for small batches I would use distilled). PH around 5. Hydrate yeast per instructions (Redstar champagne is hydrated at around 100-104. Too hot and it kills it.)
  11. EC1118 is also very good distilling yeast....so I am told
  12. do the round balls look like the ones in the link? http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/american_sycamore.htm
  13. I read a ton over there over the last few days. Must have missed that thread Sam. which one did you put pics up in?
  14. I figured he was building blind there. Didn't know it was a tent.
  15. Maybe their high powered spotting scope just focused right through the wires on the fence? lol. Kind of like not seeing a twig with you rifle scope
  16. Any issues with inconsistency with you point of impact? If not I would suggest that it could be your eyes. That bow is pretty fast. Have someone watch over your shoulder at the arrow flight. and then go get the broadheads you are going to use and try them. I can't see worrying about it that much until you know you have a problem. if you are shooting well now and continue to do so with the broadheads, then practice and go hunting.
  17. Eddie, Why not complete it as early as possible to make it a common and safe feature for them to be around?
  18. I am just suggesting if thee is a listing of statewide elections and a tally of any of the candidates voting on these issues, that is the info that should be going out there. SCOPE, NYSRPA and the rest must have this. That is where the focus should be along with registering and an effort to get people to the polls. I wish there was a push for absentee balloting and finding people to take people to the polls. Heck I would drive that day if anyone in my district needed a ride to flip that lever against them. I see a lot of fan fare out of thes groups but I can't see an meaningful efforts to influence this election.
  19. Sure made it sound like it would just be a matter of time.
  20. Bubba, Then "those people" should compile a complete list. I understand Doc's concern. Most are not going to do the research and if it ends up as a difficult task then it wont get done. They will fold and not vote. Let's face it, Humans are a pretty lazy bunch in general.
  21. “It’s my commission. I can’t ‘interfere’ with it, because it is mine. It is controlled by me,” he said last month About says everything one needs to know about his attitude of serving the People of the State of NY.
  22. Oh with progressivism there is an end in sight. The same ending of the same old story. Socialist models can not support themselves for long. Too many taking and not enough supplying.
  23. I wouldn't expect any less than a botched effort out of Bureaucrats and politicians.
  24. Basically the dandelion is providing the flavor. There is very little there that is actually fermentable. Think sugar. The yeast eat sugar, fart carbon dioxide and piss alcohol. So the sugar added to the recipe is the fermentable. Good rule of thumb is a pound to a pound and a half of sugar to a gallon of water. it will probably ferment in about a week or two. fermenting should take place in a single vessel. if you have a old one gallon wine jug, they work well. stop by a brewery supply place and pick up a drilled rubber cork to fit the bottle and a bubbler. ($2). this keep air out and Oxygen is evil to the wine process during the fermentation. The airlock keeps it out but allows the CO2 some place to escape during fermentation. http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques2.asp I have never used these recipes (never made dandelion wine anyways) but it is a great site. this cam up and it looks like a couple good recipes. The one this I will tell you in all the wine making. Stay on the dry side of using the sugar. It can always be added for taste after the fermenting but you can't get it out once it is in there. (I made that mistake with hard cider). the Yeast will only convert sugar to ta level that brings the alcohol by volume to between 8%-20% depending on the yeast used. They can not live in a solution of ABV above 20%. so if you add more sugar than the yeast can convert before it hits that limit you have a sweet wine. I prefer to add it after I know I have a good ferment and basically season to taste at that point, especially for a first try. When the fermentation is done (the bubbler stops bubbling). carefully drain off the wine. There will be sediment in the bottom of the jug that you will discard. pour the wine though a coffee filter and back into the jug. I would let it rest for about a month in the jug and any fines will settle out. adjust the sweetness. Leave the lid loose because when adjusting with sugar thee may be a few yeasts in there that aren't quite done, especially if the ABV didn't hit their limit. after the month, bottle and drink. (no plastic bottles). Better to use mason (canning) jars if you don't have a corker or access to enough screw top bottles. About $10 for a dozen
