Lucky for me I wasn't there. By the sounds of it id have been taken out on a stretcher 1 minute after entering and laughing my head off at a bar full of men drinking beer out of jars.
This now poses a concerning environmental question, what they did with all the useless lids?

If you visit Tennessee, you have to drink moonshine from a mason jar. It's state law.

(OK probably not really -- but you will see mason jars full of moonshine all over the place.)

Yeah you guys certainly made some great guns. My father had two rifles that were to be his, handed down from his uncle and father, one was a hex barrel and not sure what the other was but he said they were serious weapons. I have in my mind a Sharps but he passed away 15 yrs ago so I can't say for sure. They were supposed to be now be mine. When he went to get them his younger half brother had taken everything that was supposed to be his. 😡
My father, the eldest, got nothing.

My misses spotted this today when we were walking. Its a wallaby lay, resting area. Has to be the best iv ever seen. Didn't make it of course, the shelter, but what a perfect spot it found to use. You can see the scraped out area it lays in. Saw the wallaby take off through the bush but too quick for a picture.
