Oh and BTW, the babies are nestled in their SIP’s and I hope they try to take over the tent. LOL

They sure do! They engineer their tolerances to have a certain percentage of failures by the end of warranty date which ensures they don’t lose out in their profitability and which also maximizes their resale numbers.

Thanks @herojuana.tom . Yeah, I’m stoked about these SIP’s. That Blue Dream is doing extremely well in one. I can’t wait to see nice healthy plants filling my room again. It’s been a while since I’ve had that view. lol

@NDNCHILD hit the nail on the head. They are used by the old timers when making corn squeezings. Put it in the end of the drip tube to direct the flow into the jar. My brother uses his when he runs Grandpa’s recipe in remembrance to the skills the old man taught him. I saw him run Popcorn’s recipe once. He used it then too.
I know it’s just clean bone… but still.

Popcorn’s widow decided to release his most sought after recipe a few years back. The first run my brother made was absolutely some of the best I’d ever had.
I truly believe, though, that Popcorn would have never went to prison. He was too danged old and if they sentenced him to anything it would have been a few months to make a point. It was a terrible thing what happened.

I have read a few books 
about him and seen the documentaries, they both keep me on the edge of my seat 
hanging on every word. We get shine every time we go down to NC where my wife’s family is from and the same families have been making it for over a hundred 
years. We feel very fortunate to have that ability and love to drink it on the weekends. HELL YEAH with a rebel yell!
