Lazy Friday ???

Sam not feeling well today. He did not go to work today so we slept in. I made a big breakfast. I'm just doing some odd job's and watching some movies today I guess.  I  do have a nice white gutter :)
The maintenance department here said they now have the gutters fixed and they will drain and not flood my closet, I hope they are right.  I have cleaned my part of them and they can clean the rest. I wonder how long that will take ?

Busy Day's

Well this morning started out to be a relaxing day. I talked to mom and was going to go to the pool and also clean up the PT  to get some photos too get it ready to sell. As I got out of the shower the doorbell rang and I looked out and it was the Police !  I opened the door and he started asking me questions about some guy about 4 doors down and there were 5 or 6 cop cars and  cops all over even  coming out from behind the building. He said I should go back inside. Hmm  so in a little while the doorbell rings again and He gave me a card and said if I see a gray Ford there to call 911 and "the guy is not in trouble we just want to talk to him"  ROFL sure you do...




 Well  I took the car to the car wash and vacuumed it out and washed it then off to the park for some  photos of it.They turned out good and I  found some other good shots also.
 


There were  lots of people at the park today too and the water looks so nice.

Closet cleaning and Apple Pie Moonshine

I'm cleaning out one more closet today.  this one there going to have to paint too. There is  mold in it on the walls from all the rain we have been getting. I
I'm just cleaning and doing some sewing today on my jeans quilt. 

I did finish the Apple pie Moonshine and it is good too.

Apple Pie Moonshine is probably the most popular and sought after type of bootleg whiskey ever made, and for good reason - it's delicious. We've already posted procedures for making a basic mash and even instructions on making peach moonshine. Here is our favorite (high octane) apple pie moonshine recipe:

Ingredients:

1 quart of 120 proof, pure corn whiskey moonshine (everclear could be used as a substitute - but that ain't moonshine!)
1-2 cans of frozen apple concentrate*
2-4 cinnamon sticks*
1-2 cups brown sugar*

*Depending on how sweet you want it to be, you may add up to twice as much of these particular items (in other words, 2 cans of concentrate and 2 cups of sugar instead of 1).

Directions (assuming that your shine is stored in quart jars):

First, add the apple concentrate, cinnamon sticks and brown sugar to a pot.  Bring to a boil and then simmer for 60 minutes.  Stir a few times as it is heating up to dissolve the sugar.  Note, you could simmer for only 20 minutes, but you'd want to leave the jar sit for a couple of weeks before drinking to allow it to season.  Heating it longer in the pot (60 minutes) will cause the cinnamon sticks to release their flavor very quickly, allowing you to be able to drink it immediately.  I like to call this the "instant satisfaction" method.    

After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool.  Make sure it is completely cool, and none of the burners on the stove are on before moving on to the next step.

After the mixture has cooled, add 2 pint jars (or one quart jar) to the mixture and stir it up a bit.  Remember, 100+ proof moonshine is flammable.  You do not want to do this anywhere near a heat source.
