Thanks! I wanted to use a whiskey bottle as the overflow tank, but didn't get it done. Last night I worked up a plan for it, so maybe soon.

Yep, that's one I'm thinking about. My brother drinks that stuff, so I may buy a bottle. Pour it into mason jars, and he can drink it when he's here deer hunting this winter. A few months ago I threw out several bottles that I could have used. Figures. I can't keep it in the house. I'll drink it all at one time, then get nekid and run up and down the road swinging my tallywhacker. Just kidding. I enjoy a beer or bourbon occasionally, but I live alone and don't stock it unless someone is desperate enough to visit me. Which is only during deer and turkey season. Speaks volumes for my character I reckon.

I haven't touched the stuff in 40 years it doesn't mix well with my native blood. It almost killed me when I got back from overseas
Did you see I changed the 101 to 502 for you

I didn't see it before. That's hilarious! Thank you.

I think I would have become a serious alcoholic, but I don't do hangovers well. So, I may drink once or twice a year, sometimes a couple years apart. My other problem with alcohol is, I don't understand the concept behind, "Lets have a drink / beer." That makes no sense. Spirits have one purpose...to alter your mind. One drink ain't gonna do it. So if I'm drinking, I'm gonna consume enough to make a difference! Then there's the hangover, and then there's another year of "Oh hell no, I don't want that beer."

Red, it turns out that a Wild Turkey 502 bottle is the correct diameter for my clamp. The girl at the liquor store thought I was a total nut when I asked for a whiskey that comes in a cylindrical bottle of 3.25" - 3.5" in diameter. But she warmed up to me when I showed her my bad eye. Now I have to make a bracket to hold the clamp and bottle.



Scrappy approves of the glass packs for the test stand.
