I used to get shots all the time. Didn't need a needle.

Nowadays, I pour my tequila in a glass over a couple of ice cubes and sip it.

If you were to move here, there are plenty of ex-patriot Kali folks that still speak the language.

That's one thing about tequila, it's best enjoyed in moderation.

85 bucks for 60lbs? I SERIOUSLY doubt there is a set of truck scales in the whole state that are that damned accurate. I will say this, those KOMRADES in the scale house have feathers on their legs and henhouse ways.

Hate to hear ya had to sell the B'port and the grinder. I've wanted a B'port mill all my life. LOL No place to put one now though. Same reason I don't have my old SB any more either.

Reminds me of my cattle hauling days and the New Mexico scales. As long as you put a $10.00 bill in an envelope with your cattle health papers, you could cross the scales grossing a 100K and they wouldn't say a thing. I didin't pay 'em one day when I had half a load on and the sumbitches tried to tell me that I was overweight when I could see the digital readout was showing me at 59K. I called him on it and he told me it was messed up and the scales were wrong. I told him to close the scale house, fix the damn scales, and I'd see him later. I cogged it up and rolled on out laughing at him.
