The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

My old horse trainer made her own medicines for doctoring horses... Her favorite ingredient was sulfer powder... mixed with lard and a little liniment and it would heal just about any cut... on horses.

daddy used it on dogs, would mix it with used motor oil to keep the dogs from getting mange, he always had a bunch of deer running dogs and one setter for quail, probably also kept fleas off of them
 
daddy drank a lot of it, not only did he smoke but he was a drunk(?) he would start drinking on sat nights and wouldn't stop until monday night, he was a barber so he had sat night til mon night off, he stayed sober during the week, or at least thats what family told me, he quit when i was about 8
dad drank all week... at lunch time he would have a couple of double burbons then go back and operate machinery... By then he was a supervisor....

His heavy drinking days was when he was a Design engineer at Maxwell Labs. He could out calculate the physicists before they got done explaining what needed to be done. With a pad of paper and a watch calculator...

before digitial stuff.
