I stayed home because we already gave my daughter and her hubby concert tickets and hubby's daughter and family are getting money towards their family vacation. We are getting ourselves a new king bed. That's it for this year!

No. I want to stay alive and so I try not to put myself in ridiculous situations on purpose. I don't "NEED" another bargain.

We told our kids about 5 years ago to stop sending us presents. We don't need any more "stuff!"

My daughter and I went one year and it was a blast. We each had a long list and money to spend. No list this year and outa money plus my daughter lives 4 hours away now, instead of 12 minutes ... So I stayed home.

I did go out on Black Friday, but not until 11 am. I set through 12 red lights. Never again.

I could use another still pot for my distillary, but I think I’ll have to get a stainless steel tank at the junk yard for that. I didn’t see that on sale for Black Friday. You’d think Black Friday would be a day of drinking and dancing since Joe Black was the fellow who brought the art of distillation and steam generation into the foreground of the then modern era by his study of the subject in Ireland. I usually toast to Joe Black on Christmas. What a guy.

I’m looking for on that’s 50 to 100 gallons in size. A Dairy offered me a nice 3000 gallon rank for $1000 but that’s out’ta my league.

Holy smokes, rob, you drink that much???

I use alcohol for cleaning parts, thinning paint, producing glue and paint, to get water out of a gasoline tank, to strip oil out of lavender so that it can be concentrated as a scent, to clean delicate fabrics, silk and the like in a machine set-up for dry cleaning laundry, to remove oil stains from leather and furniture, and to clean minor injuries. Its rather harsh to drink but mellowing it into a finely flavored batch that doesn’t take your breath away and make you grit your teeth as it goes down is an art that I do know well but prefer not to practice. I haven’t had a drink in more than 15 years nor am I attracted to it whatsoever for that purpose. It has a place in our culture and our progress but as beverages go I’ll stay with the less hazardous variations like water, pepsi, orange juice and milk.
