cutting wood for winter, foraging the woods for berries,

washing my clothes in the river, making candles to light the night.
And I do appreciate that I don't have to do these things anymore.

I have helped cut wood for winter heating. I have also foraged for
berries, actually Granny knew where to look and took me along to help
pick berries. I have never hand cranked a model T, but have watched
others do it (was tied up with winter wood cutting, the "T" drove a
belt with a rear axle wheel to drive a large circular saw) I never did
any of the other things listed, but if Granny were still here, I'd bet
she has and could describe the process. Except the spear hunting, that
was before Grannys time and on the other side of the family.

Hi Harold,
My point is, times change, peoples change, and if you want to cut
wood,
pick berries, crank a model T, or spear hunt,
Have at it, but your not out telling everybody they need to.

Right, and why homebrew anymore when you can call HRO or AES and buy your
appliance off the shelf.


73,

Gay Bashing? Gay Bashing? I didn't see any gay bashing, Mark. I DID see a
question mark behind "homobrew". How is that gay bashing? Are you overly
sensitive about your admitted bisexual proclivities?
Please cease putting words in the mouths of others, Mark. I will not allow
that to pass.
Oh, and does it irk you if I enjoy "topsotting"? Is that gay bashing, too?
The British use the term sot to describe a drunkard. As an offensive term
for one who drinks habitually, (drunkard).
If I "topsot", am I picking on Brits? Those who imbibe?

And just WHO is the controlling authority on whether I top post or not? YOU?
derisive laughter

You don't count, Mark.

Now, tell us just what is "homobrew"?

Oh my, yes! Thank you for reminding me that The Colonel injests his beer in,
how to put this nicely, "unorthodox" ways? He has his very own, highly
personal back door version of a micro brewery, so to speak.
Homobrew. Now I understand.

It wasn't just the Model-T. I learned to drive
on a 37 Chevrolet. It had a crank hole just under
the grill.



And a Crank behind the steering wheel.

SC

You can't even get behind the steering wheel. The state took your
drivers license away 3 years ago after you hit that Monte Carlo while
you were drunk on cheap liquor. That was when your wife left you also.
I remember it all. I know who you are!
