Yup, drywall still the most common, even if it’s gonna have a diamond plaster finish in it. For that we usually us “blue board” it’s a gypsum board also but has a special paper that the interior plaster bonds to the best. That veneer plaster is only around 1/8” thick.
I still have a fondness for Lowes paper over insulation.

Lol, not in the house of course but I do seem to spend a lot of time in here in shed 1.

Lots of leaves came down with the snow, nice sunny day to suck them up.

LOL I left at 3 am to visit Long Beach. You got the better deal. Have a lot of fun, get rich and eat well!
I vividly remember being in Long Beach in summer 1963. My dad took us on a cross country vacation and stopped a couple different places to hook up for a day with guys he soldiered with in the South Pacific 20 years earlier.

His buddy rode us all around on a site seeing tour telling war stories while my dad kept saying 'I remember that.' An interesting tour I wish I had on tape. Looked pretty nice back then from the back seat of a big Buick.

Did your mom go or was it a boys trip?

IK it's not the same as your Dad talking but the Library of Congress has a real interesting oral history Vet's program. It's chilling, listening to some of these guys relating their days/weeks/months at Guadalcanal, Okinawa as well as the European theater. Their stories pale to some of the ones from the trenches of WW1.

I'm not very familiar with moonshine brands. I tried old smokey moonshine, it was some berry flavour, it tasted pretty good and didn't harsh your throat out like screech.
popcorn ain't a brand, it was an old man...who made shine, and pretty damn good shine.


old smoky isn't shine, it's craft liquor....after they cut shine, it's still at least 160 proof. it has to "hold a bead" on a jar, it will do something similar to the legs wine makes on a glass if it's high enough proof, if it doesn't, it's not strong enough....
