good song to listen to as you toss them hops into a boil

I kind of get the feeling that we're all a little odd here. The outlier points. We get eliminated from graphs and charts and stuff, so as not to corrupt the data.
Love that song City-man!
V-man. Your video reminded me of the tractor pulls and the home town fair. It was back in the eighties. Swear to God a bunch of old boys spent 3/4 of the year getting ready for these things. Garden tractors on steroids is what it was and it was awesome. Ear shattering as well. Just raw power out of somebody's little lawn mower tractor.
I guess it's come a long way since then. But swear some of those tractors had racing engines in them.
I needed a smile.
Here's a little something from a local boy who made it big. And then walked away.
I don't spit, and my money is on the possum.
That song is making me sleepy. Time for coffee. Sun is up and still no possum. I'll have to plan a night to set up surveillance. Sit out in the woods with my binoculars. He must have found another way out.

I made coffee too. And bacon and eggs. Butchered a hog and hadn't tried the bacon yet. Fried up a whole pound and didn't hardly render enough enough fat to fry a couple eggs. That is some meaty bacon.
Oh man that sucks. Did he eat the egg and food that you put outside the trap
The only thing I put outside the trap was the egg and it's still there. I had it placed so that if he saw it and wanted to go toward it and check it out, he'd end up in the trap. So yeah, not sure if he's found another way out or he just hasn't left the comfort of his home. Maybe today I'll unwedge the trap and add more goodies for him, like a bowl of water, canned dog food instead of the dry stuff, and I have some canned salmon and tuna I could offer him. Lay out a nice feast. Catching possums is a lot of work.
As I get older, this might seem backwards. I'm thinking I'd like to start a commune, hippy commune if you'd like. I'd like to start this place on the outskirts of HomeBrewTown so will need to check with Passedpawn and the city council. If they give me permission (I know, that doesn't sound very hippy-ish.) If they do here is my quick plan.
Baths will be taken at least once a day. Ideally, they will be communal which could be a lot of fun.
There will be a strict physical fitness program each day. It will include but not limited to dancing, laughing and working our crops in the field.
I'm going to invite a few organic growers to this place to teach us all how to. We will eat the food we make. Not going to be buying much from the store if possible but that isn't a law. Let's see, we can grow our own veggies, make our own bread, brew our own beer, make our own cheese and sausages. I'd like to do this all organically and with all the spent grain we'll have from making beer there will be plenty of nutritious compost available.
It's just an idea but, hmm.. maybe.
I like to dip biscuits in the fat while I am frying the bacon. Yup I got married and that practice ended
Everything is better with bacon fat! I used to make a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich. Fry up the bacon, put it in the sandwich with the cheese and use the bacon fat instead of butter to grill the sandwich. Probably two days worth of calories in one sandwich but I don't stress over stuff like that. The stress will kill you quicker than the fat.
So Dan,where are you planning on building this place?
Set the bait at the entry area of the trap to lure in the possum.
Donkeys or mules to pull the plow and help in the fields would be good too. I know how to make biodiesel too, for a diesel tractor or something. Windmills and solar panels, don't forget those.
I googled how to catch a possum and found this handy tip, this is in addition to the food at the back of the trap. A trail of food for him, from the front of the trap to the back of the trap. Of course!!
I had to look over my shoulder and make sure my wife could not see that I liked your post.
I don't know if I could be married to someone who doesn't understand the seductive power of bacon fat.

I think I need to get some sleep, I've been up all night. Working third shift six days a week it doesn't hardly pay to mess with your sleep schedule for only one day.
