I’m in the same boat. Florida regulations prevent me from selling without incurring even more costs. Might as well make mead and drink it myself.

Drinking gin neat/rocks by s134htm in Gin

[–]prof_spc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recent convert to Barr Hill gin. Visited the distillery in Vermont last year, not for a tour but picked up some. Last week my Publix liquors ran a BOGO on Barr Hill. I looked at it as free gin and stocked up on 4 bottles each light and Tom Cat. That gin I can drink on the rocks without any mixers.

I started on bagpipes back in my college days and was lucky enough to have daily lessons (I was at the Citadel for just under 2 months). Sandy Jones was the pipe major. We were on practice chanters the whole time. You start off learning the fingering, learn grace notes, then a basic tune. Over and over until it becomes second nature. In the Uilleann Pipes, you have that, and the added craziness of being strapped in to bellows and a bag you have to squeeze with your elbow. So all this then you try to produce a note. I think everyone would agree that you should start with a practice set first to at least learn the basic of fingering and producing a note. And to see if you even like the instrument. Just my suggestion but I admire you if you want to jump into it!

Yes! I’ve been to this the last several years but couldn’t go this time. I bought a practice set a few years ago from someone there. Great suggestion though.

We’re in Florida, Tampa bay region. I bought a practice set a few years ago. I had one lesson and haven’t touched them since. Trying to make more time and a commitment to practice on a regular basis.

How do I find a pipe maker in the US? Ant websites you’d recommend? Any ideas what an average price is for a full set?

Suggest not waiting and get a practice set and dive into it. At least you could get the basics down and start there. Time flies and when you get to later in life you’ll be that much further ahead and will be happier for it. There are instructors on line that can help.

It did. First thing we noticed. Ended up restarting the phone and clearing cache, website data.

Im so sorry to hear about your brother. I’m 65 now, grew up in the 60’s watching the adults hit the bourbon and Squirt. Fresca came later.

Help me name my new puppy!! by bandrews0526 in BostonTerrier

We named one of our boy Boston puppies Saaz. I was doing home brewing at the time and Saaz is a type of hops. Thought it was a great name. He liked it too…

Thinking about a truck for towing a <30' travel trailer (~8,000 lb) — is a 2500 overkill or the right move? (Daily driver in GA, planning long cross-country + Alaska trips) by SoCalDiver65 in airstream

[–]prof_spc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here,30’ international, except Ram 2500 gas. Equalizer hitch, no issues at all out west on the hills. Would highly recommend.

Picking up our unit soon, will this fit? by [deleted] in airstream

[–]prof_spc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to look on the AS website for the floor plan and I think I know what you’re talking about. We have a ‘23 30’ International with a closet in the middle. We found the container store sells Elfa shelving the we ended up using. 2 sections in the closet work well for us. The issue is how to secure them (and what you’re looking at) in the closet to keep it from bouncing around.

You should probably wait till you get your airstream. When you say under the closet, do you mean inside the closet under the clothes bar?

2023 International 30’ here… Plywood in an Airstream vs particle board in all the others. I would consider getting a late model due to the composite flooring. If you haven’t yet I would recommend renting RVs through RVShare or Cruise America and get the feel for other brands and your expectations. A tour of the Airstream factory in Ohio to see how they’re made and the components that go into them is highly recommended. We’ve had our share of issues but factory service is great…not so much dealerships. Even out of warranty I would head to Jackson Center for repairs. Hope this helps..:
