The Versatile Mason Jar

Thanks Grillin.

When you need a relaxing evening at home take a pint Mason jar fill it with ice up to the neck then fill it up with some Tito's Handmande Vodka (from Austin, TX) and let it sit for a minute or two till the ice and vodka mix into that sublime cold mixture. SIP that down and if you are not relaxed and chilled out, you have a worse drinking problem than I do.

You can use any kind of glass you wish, but a Mason jar seems to do the trick much better.

I store Tito's Vodka in my freezer. I don't think there's a smoother vodka on the market

After much scientific research, in my opinion Tito's is the best and smoothest Vodka on the market and much cheaper than the high priced yuppie vodkas. My wife likes it with cranberry juice with a splash of orange juice. I like it straight over rocks.

x3, Tito's is good stuff.  And the freezer is the only place it should be stored 

For those not familiar with alcohol in the freezer, if the alcohol content is high enough it will not freeze.  It just gets super cold!   Wine and beer will freeze and break the container, but "hard" liquor will not.  I'm not certain what percentage or proof you need not to freeze, but vodka lives in my freezer just fine. On the other hand, tried a bottle of peach schnapps one time and it froze solid.

Back more on subject of the mason jars, I like those soap dispenser mods.  May have to make a go at this one.

I bought some tequila down in Mexico one time and when I put it in the freezer it did freeze. So I showed my old neighbor and he decided to take a swig off the bottle(there was some liquid in it). The look on his face was classic because he pretty much drank 200 proof tequila since the alcohol that was in the liquid did not freeze.

Picket fence and Mason jar solar lights:

I know you guys would rather fill a Mason jar with vodka but out daughter in law filled hers with solar lights!

Jul 29 2014

The past two weeks I had been helping our son build a picket fence; mainly so their dog could have a place to run. The cooler weather we have been having was kind to us. I had set poles while in the USAF and set several on my property but had never built a fence.

We used 4X4 treated lumber for the posts and quick-krete to set them. We had to keep the posts accurate to put up the pre-made 4X8 red cedar picket sections. It connects to the house on one end and the garage on the other. The one corner we had to use two sections on an angle to miss some large roots from an old oak tree. We installed one 4 foot gate. All was put together with deck screws.

For two amateurs it turned out looking nice. There was about a 6 inch rise in the yard and we kept all the pickets looking pretty level by gradually raising the posts and height.

Our son’s wife is pretty handy and artistic. She made some hanging solar lanterns from pint Mason jars. She got the idea from the blue jar, with solar lid I had given her but pricing the solar lids they were $5 each. I think she did a dozen of them.

She bought little stick in the ground solar lights at Lowes for .97 cents each. She tore them apart, cut square holes in the Mason lids and glued them in. She drilled holes in the lids and put a section of chain on to hang them up. She has them all hanging on the fence posts and they look nice. She said she just had $31 in the lights.

Very nice looking fence. Well done! Is that a fire pit being dug? I like the idea of the mason jar lights... will try that for my deck. Thanks!

A fire pit yes. I like the big pot they have, looks newer than an old cast iron pot. The bottom is welded on and it has slotted hole for air. I think she is going to make a ring with brick and then fill with pea gravel. Don

Seeing as how I am raising a baby..I do the same with baby food jars, even tho she isn't eating baby food now. They make great lites for under an umbrella,  and to set around anywhere, specially at night. Ambiance..besides I look better in the dark like most everyone..LOL   .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི
