On my way to Plattsburgh tonight- little further upstate than my normal foray

Hey neighbor across the lake.

Hey neighbor across the lake.

Hey

We were visiting so my kid could check out the college. It’s pretty much a college town now but it used to be a military town.






When I was a kid I used to have a Tshirt from Dannemora that I thought was pretty cool so I drove over to see if anybody still sold them. I couldn’t find one. Nobody has a sense of humor anymore I guess. This was approximately the illustration on the front of the tshirt



Plattsburgh is also the Brownski origination point so I swung by and checked out the old neighborhood

Gus' Red Hots?

Is the North Country Upstate?

I’ve been there. I used to bring my kids camping at Ausable Point once or twice a summer and we went on those trips.

That F-111 is super sexy.

Imagine how it would look with a blue tarp covering part of it.

I need a ruling: where the deer came through the window of the wood paneled K Car upstate, it was on the Northway North of Albany. It sure felt upstate when we opened the doors to get away from the trashing doe and Genny Cream cans poured onto the shoulder.

Upstate.

Yeah, I'm agreeing with Aldo here; that sounds pretty fucking upset to me- maybe peak upstate- or else an outtake from Tommy Boy.

WTF is happening? I drove from the Capital District to Watertown and back last week and did not see one blue tarp along rte 12. Not a single blue tarp!

You must have been mistaken about your route and location.

Either that or it's not upstate. Which means we're untethered from reality from here on in.

[rideit]

Were we ever tethered to reality, really?

[riser4]

Shush.

Was it windy out? Upstaters don’t always tie their tarps down all that well. Maybe they all blew away

Damn gentrifiers, that's what

labeling vodka as gluten free is just fucking stupid.... and don't matter what the fuck it's made from, according to Title 27, Section 5.22 of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Code;

(a) Class 1; neutral spirits or alcohol. “Neutral spirits” or “alcohol” are distilled spirits produced from any material at or above 190° proof, and, if bottled, bottled at not less than 80° proof.
(1) “Vodka” is neutral spirits which may be treated with up to two grams per liter of sugar and up to one gram per liter of citric acid. Products to be labeled as vodka may not be aged or stored in wood barrels at any time except when stored in paraffin-lined wood barrels and labeled as bottled in bond pursuant to § 5.42(b)(3). Vodka treated and filtered with not less than one ounce of activated carbon or activated charcoal per 100 wine gallons of spirits may be labeled as “charcoal filtered"




this is a brilliant scam being pulled by our upstate orchard owners to pawn off their rotten ground drops on to dumbfuck hipster doofuses who don't understand the industrial definition of vodka. it's payback for making us irradiate our fucking apple cider. how the hell you gonna make hard cider with that shit now? godamn waste of apples that shit is...



fact.

[huckbucket]

Ah. The good old days of non-pasteurized cider. Throw in a fry cake and you’ve got yourself some super-tasty fall memories, and the shits.

[Brownski]

MC is on target regarding vodka. Producers make a big deal but anything that gets distilled to 190 proof is gonna be free of gluten - and everything else other than alcohol and a tiny bit of water. I guess I wasn't ever rural enough as a kid to get into drinking non- pasteurized anything. What is the attraction? Does it taste that much better?

Why yes ... yes it does*

* This opinion is anecdotal and subjective at best. Obviously, this might simply be me having fond memories of apple picking as a kid. But pasturization also likely denatures proteins and some of the chemicals that give it taste and aroma. Ironically, pasturization was probably more important 30 years ago than it is now specifically because of the prior need for squeezing the apples at their peak of ripeness, just before they go bad (and presumably become contaminated with bugs). Apples these days are like candy and timing their peak of flavor isn't as hard.

^^fact.^^


It also kills all the natural yeast in the cider that would naturally turn your cider hard. And hard cider is best cider.
