Phil, my prize package arrived. Man, I cannot wait to smoke that little 5x26ish beauty! :laugh:
Now, even though I'm not an official member of the pass, I feel compelled to teach you guys a lesson. Hope you don't mind, Phil.
My lesson: NEVER use Mapquest.
I was away the beginning of the month; went up to New Hampshire with the family. My wife Mapquested all the directions for the places we'd be heading. So, we hit the road to our first destination. I make a right turn onto a dirt road. I knew this was going to be trouble.
The tree cover thickens, and the road gets bumpier. As I'm driving, I'm holding the directions in my hand, the paper folded in half. I get to the end of the road I'm on... I have 2 choices. Straight ahead the road looks like a glorified ATV path, to the right has pavement! I flip the paper, it says "Turn Right." No street name, nothing. One problem, there's a giant chain across the road with red flags all over it.
I had to somehow turn the car around without plummeting off the road into a ditch, back track to where I started, and make my way around the lake the long way. What Mapquest said was a 40 minute drive turned into a 3 1/2 hour adventure.
Checking maps after this, I come to find out that the "turn right" was someone's driveway, and the "road" cut through his property, to the next street I was supposed to take.
Thanks again, Phil! :thumbs:

To those involved in this nefarious host bag: You are all bastiges. Thank you very much, this was NOT expected! Rob sent me the bag to provide the pass sticks having a little breathing room. And to whoever put the prime time in there, we are clearly men of similar tastes :thumbs:

Phil was gracious to allow me to post a lesson.
Now, some of you know how good I am at interacting with members of the female persuasion, but one thing I know a bit about is romance (just nowhere to use it right now :sign: )
I cannot take credit for this, however I have tried it, and it works very well.
Who would have thought a potato with a note would melt a girl's heart so fast.
Feel free to clean up the quote a bit, should you decide to use it
The Potato:
Roses only last like a couple weeks, and they really only exist to be pretty so that's like saying "my love for you is transitory and based solely on your appearance"..........
but a potato! potatos last for fucking ever, man... in fact, not only will they not rot, they actually grow shit even if you just leave them in the sack. There are so many ways to enjoy a potato! You can even make a battery with it!... and that's like saying "i have many ways in which I show my love for you" And potatos may be ugly, but they're still awesome, so that's like saying "it doesn't matter at all what you look like, I'll still love you"

I never knew the picture one was finished. If so who won and what was the winning answer.

A lesson in Mountain Dew
First and foremost is makin' a wash.
The simplest way is about 2.5 pounds of sugar to a gallon of water to start.
Boil the water to make the sugar dissolve better. I find I can mix 25 pounds of sugar in about 4 gallons of boiling water.
In another small 5 gallon bucket mix up a smaller exact ratio about 1 gallon of water and 2.5 lbs of sugar. Now I prefer what is called a turbo yeast, it is more expensive but comes with all the additives you need. The directions will tell you what temp you should pitch the yeast. Usually 95-100 degrees. Throw it all in the small 5 gallon bucket and WATCH OUT it will take off. Which is good cause you want the yeast to reproduce.
Now after your 10 gallons of sugar water has cooled off to your pitching temp. Pour your starter in there and drop a hose connected to an aquarium pump and run it for 24 hrs. Then seal it up with a fermenting lock and let sit until the bubbles quit moving in the lock. 3-4 days with a turbo yeast.
I have heard the next part only in myths and wives tales.
Supposedly you can heat this stuff up to 79.8 C and BAD BAD stuff comes out until about 79.9 C. Oh slow and steady wins the race, no need to pour the coals to it. To much heat to much boiling to much impurities. You need to know your "Apparatus" like your wife. It will take you a few runs to figure this out. No need to rush.
After which more bad stuff comes out up to about a pint. I hear you throw that away.
I guess the next stuff that comes out is so pure you could drink it. I dunno I use it to run my car. Around 89.9 C or so you're done. If you want the purest you can get as to not clog up your injectors on you alcohol burning Pinto. Depending on your "Apparatus" will depend on the purity, some call it proof, mainly people that drink it. You can't get above 193 proof no matter what, but hell your car won't know.
My car finds it much more appealing at about 100 proof and after it has sat on the shelf for at least a month, for some reason it really tames it.
There are more steps involved and a few secret ones. If you need more info pm me.
THANKS PHIL...

Thanks for the lesson Shane! Should have a disclaimer: might make your liver spontaneously explode. Gary has offered to host a contest for all you bastiges! I have no clue what he has in mind so good luck all 
Also, for those of you who haven't posted a lesson yet, I have a feeling there MIGHT be something coming up that you would be missing out on if you don't get em in there by the end of the pass...... :whistling:
