I once purchased a 50 gal whiskey barrel from the local cider mill and
had 30 gal. of cider put in.  Some good cider, my son!  I later was
told that the wood of the barrel held about 1 gal of whiskey, so as
the cider equilibrated with the whiskey, I was getting a 30:1 or
better cocktail.

Ob. Smithing: Finally broke down and bought a MIG welder.  Don't have
the gas tank yet so I'm using flux core.  I figure by the time I've
welded all the patches on my rusty '87 F-150, I'll know how to use the
thing.
