Label Description Talon, the weapon of birds of prey, rapier-like in its efficiency to kill or maim their victims. The Fatalii, a Central South African Habanero, is shaped much like a talon. The Red Savina Habanero is the Guinness Book of World Record’s hottest spice. I put these two tongue torching chiles together to create one of the hottest non-extract sauces I have ever tasted. Truly a fire that will challenge the limits of the most ardent Chilihead. I don’t know if this sauce will maim you, but its piercing heat is definitely worthy of the name ~ CaJohn
Ingredients: Fatalii Chiles, Red Savina Habanero Chiles, Distilled Vinegar.
Appearance: DEEP Red in color! Nothing put peppers in this baby.
Smell: Nice Red Savina Habanero Smell. Smells a lot like some Red Savina mash I have laying around pure music for my nostrils!
Heat: 9.0/10.0 (tough to rate as I like REAL hot stuff). Consistent, immediate heat. Not for the faint of heart – this stuff packs a punch.
Uses: I’ve used this in just about everything this week. Great pepper flavor, no vinegar taste. It started with Pizza the first night I got the bottle. It was great – killed about half the bottle that night. Loved it on fresh chicken breast, and turkey burgers. But my favorite use was in Mrs. Huvason’s spaghetti sauce. WOW was that good. Took my wife’s great sauce and brought the heat up to a respectable level. Since it’s just peppers, it didn’t mess at all with the flavor of the sauce, just added nice heat to it. The beauty of Talon is that you can add as little or as much as you can handle! As you can see from the pics, the more the better!
Closing: This bottle is already gone. It certainly lives up to CaJohns claim of being “one of the hottest non-extract sauces” – by far the hottest non-extract sauce I have had the pleasure of consuming. Talon Hot Sauce is very hot, however, so be careful. It’s not for the friendsfamily who think they can eat anything (unless of course they are from the wife’s side of the family ? ). Pure pepper taste, which I happen to love. Can be used to heat up just about anything. Highly recommended.
Overall rating: 9.5/10.0 – Must try.

huvason, are you ahhhh reviewing the Hot Sauce or the Miller Lite? 😉
from that pic its hard to tell…lol
Nice review though. Nick better watch out, you and eman will start up your own page of Hot Sauce reviews soon. ha ha
just kidding Nick 🙂
[Comment ID #27567 Quote]
Definitely the sauce. The Miller Light was brought over by a friend (but it meets BOTH my requirements for favorite beer – FREE and COLD 🙂 )
Nick doesn’t have to worry about, i’m a freelancer – just review, send to Nick and hope he likes. Eman is the professional HSB reviewer 🙂
BTW – Throw a little in some BBQ sauce. Really good. I use this stuff everywhere. Also try it mixed with some of Jims Fiery Hot Habanero sauce – which already has a nice kick to it. I’ll review that later, as I killed the bottle I had already.
mmmmmm Talon does sound good!!
Huv nice job
Nice job! Sauce looks awesome too!
I’ve been looking at that sauce for a while. I think I’m going to have to pick up a bottle sometime soon! 🙂 Thanks for the detailed review! 🙂
— Ryan
Nice job, i hope one day to destroy a slice of pizza just like it.
Thanx for the kind words everyone!
I should add a disclaimer:
“Do not try this at home. I am a trained professional” 🙂 Start with small amounts, this stuff is pretty hot.
No doubt, a non-extract sauce that opens with a punch and continues kicking for several minutes after you’ve eaten it. Quite good IMO and as the above review suggests not something that will bury whatever your eating behind a wall of taste leaving you to wonder what you’re consuming aside from just the hot sauce.
Huvason, great review. Great sauce, too. It’s hot! I’m impressed at the amount you put on your food…..drink any straight out of the bottle???
[Comment ID #27606 Quote]
Thanx. LOL – not yet. Perhaps a shot of Talon tonight with dinner.

“a shot of Talon tonight with dinner”
Well you are a trained professional. 😉
[Comment ID #27614 Quote]
I think huv is a BEAST! That’s an aggressive amount of Talon on any one of those three dishes! It’s good to know there are others who “Desire the Fire”. Well done huvason! I’m glad it lived up to your expectations. Also, thanks to all you others for your kind endorsements!
I see absoulutely nothing wrong with a good ol HOT sauce not using any extracts! In fact I welcome it with open arms!!!
Ooooh sounds good. I’ve got a bottle of CaJohn’s Red savina and I’m hoping its as good as this.
Yeah that pizza is on maximum ownage.
[Comment ID #27619 Quote]
Then you definitely want to try this! Just had it again on some Easter Turkey sandwich leftovers. Mixed equal parts of Talon with Fiery Hot Habanero sauce – delicious. This is stuff is very addicting for me!
[Comment ID #27620 Quote]
I’ve never had CaJohn’s Red Savina – I’m guessing this has the addition of the Fatalli peppers in it. Crack it open Clint, and let us know how it is!
huvason, “ChileChef” , our operations manager suggested that the next pizza you make, save the trouble of topping it and just use it as pizza sauce!
[Comment ID #27628 Quote]
That might require either a larger bottle or many bottles! I just had some Fatali Fire. WHOA! Powerful and hot! Fantastic
[Comment ID #27623 Quote]
Either The Legend or the Krakatoa! (a little thinner), they are both Red Savina straight. Cojones has garlic added. HDH and Ace (same sauce, different label, Peppers didn’t like the HDH one) are a spiced Red Savina sauce (my favorite), Ignite is a tomato-based Red Savina as is CaBoom! Gourmet. Jim keeps us in Red Savinas quite well!
[Comment ID #27629 Quote]
Thanks, it’s the same recipe as HDH/Ace, just substitue Fataliis for Red Savinas… I think it’s attack is MUCH stronger though.
[Comment ID #27632 Quote]
Ace is a great tasting sauce, I love the flavor
red savina is my fave too 😀
[Comment ID #27634 Quote]
Oh Yea! Oh Yea! You go girl… 🙂
Hey Mrs.Ryan
Hi Vic 😀
I am almost out Tracy, I am gonna have to do something about that…like ground Ryan from it 😀
[Comment ID #27619 Quote]
My sentiments exactly Aaron! I make several extract sauces, I try to make them taste good, but to me, you can’t beat a straight forward habanero sauce to light your fire. Everyone has their favorite, make mine habanero!
[Comment ID #27637 Quote]
Sounds a lot like my house- Wendy hordes up all the sweet stuff and guards them with a passion- I can kill a bottle of sweet based sauce in a couple of sittings.
LOL, GO Wendy!! I have yet to try a sweet hot sauce, I have a lot of catching up to do
Vic, do you have a collection of “empty” sauces as well? When I first started collecting back in the early 80’s, I wouldn’t consider the sauce part of the collection until it was gone. Things are much different now, but I still hang on to the empties when I don’t have one of the sauces either full or empty.
[Comment ID #27640 Quote]
She doesn’t do the heat, low tolerance if you can imagine that in our house. She likes the dessert sauces and anything sweet- you know like me!!
[Comment ID #27642 Quote]
ROFL, and would that be her story too, Vic?
[Comment ID #27641 Quote]
Cajohn I used to- but I have taken over so much room in the house I gave that up- have to give a little too, otherwise it would be in just about every room and I’d have to move in with you……..
I was taking a gamble when I tried the red savina I figured it would be to hot and it would go to waste because Ryan has so many other opened bottles…. I really don’t think I need anything else I loved the flavor and the heat of it, and so did Ryan, I think we could polish off a case very easy between the two of us
I probably have 13-14 in the fridge now (opened and working on) and close to 30 or so in the cabinet in waiting.
yeah sounds like us….depending on whats for dinner, you’ll find something interesting on the table.
[Comment ID #27643 Quote]
I think that would be her thought- I pushed it to the limit this month with some big $ purchases with Nick, Blair, & on E-bay- but I know how to get back on her good side, I bat my eyes well……lol
I think I might have more bottles than you…
In my warehouse!!!
I understand, I really don’t keep the ones I know I’ll be getting again. If I really like a sauce, I’ll usaually get 2, one to eat one to keep. Sometimes I eat them both, then I keep the empty until I can replace it.
[Comment ID #27651 Quote]
All bottles on the shelf are new/sealed- only one in the collection that we acquired from a Rest. via the Mrs. purse because they would not sell it to us- the Hostess opened it on the way to the table, when we got it home I sealed it back with wax.
Mrs. Ryan, I’ll see Tracy in a couple of days, I’ll make sure he keeps you in sauce.
I’m looking forward to trying the Talon as well as the Fatalii Fire. When I called Cajohn’s today, a very well informed and nice lady 🙂 was telling me how wonderful (and HOT) these sauces are…
[Comment ID #27649 Quote]
Yup- we have a nice variety to complement just about any meal. But the Deal is when Wendy makes a new dish/receipe- she holds the hot sauce until I “try one bite to taste it before you douse it!!” then I can have at it.
[Comment ID #27652 Quote]
well you learn something new everyday, and Vic HOLY MOLY I just looked at the pics of your collection, I will have to say That when Ryan and I finally purchase a house, it will have 4 bedrooms and a 4 car garage so he has storage 😛
OOps! almost forgot, Great job on the review Huv!!
[Comment ID #27655 Quote]
ROFL, I do that to Ryan too!!!!!!!!!! I really like Wendy 😀
[Comment ID #27652 Quote]
Most hot sauces will do very well at room temp after opening. The fruity ones are somewhat questionable though. It’s kind of a CYA thing to put Refrigerate After Opening on the label. The ph is so low on most sauces that it will probably live longer than most of us. They may turn brown, but that is just oxidation of the pepper solids. They still are edible, just not pretty.
HELLO TRACY 😀 and yes excellent review huv 😀
[Comment ID #27660 Quote]
good to know, I always wondered if anything could grow in the bottles after they had sat for awhile….when nothing tropical bloomed I figured they were ok.
[Comment ID #27655 Quote]
I personally like to dump a load of sauce onto my plate, then add food to taste… 🙂
[Comment ID #27660 Quote]
John still no email from you.Bret
[Comment ID #27663 Quote]
yeah……but I kind of like to hear the food I cook tastes good without adding HOT anything to it….call it needing to feed my ego a bit
[Comment ID #27662 Quote]
Me too, we bought a 92-93 bottle collection last month on E-bay, a lot of them look like they were some sort of window display- very faded labels, glue on the bottom of the bottles and many of the doubles that we had already- you could see a huge difference in colors. like you said CaJohn- a lot of browning.
[Comment ID #27663 Quote]
I like your style, it means more sales that way!

Well young lady…if you keep up your desire to become more aquainted with the sauce that drives us, you will soon realize that “food”, almost becomes secondary.
We must allow the “Sauce” to drive our egos.. 🙂
[Comment ID #27665 Quote]
Well Wendy’s ego should be huge about her cooking- I don’t have to say much- my increasing belt size should be all the proof she needs. I don’t push away a meal nor have I missed one in awhile!! not that I can remember anyway.
[Comment ID #27669 Quote]
I’m with you Tracy, but don’t tell the Mrs. I said that. I love her cooking and all, but I really just look for a reason to eat more hot sauce 😀
[Comment ID #27676 Quote]
It’s all about the sauce………
[Comment ID #27670 Quote]
good for her, I know I am a good cook, it’s just nice to hear
[Comment ID #27669 Quote]
if I let the sauce drive my ego, I may chase off my whole fanily and all my staff at work….it’s become almost an obsession to keep it in the fridge…

Actually I don’t think I have watched that show in 2 or 3 years now- more partial to Muary now. You know- the girl who brings “FOUR” guys with her to find out “baby daddy” and NONE of the guys there are it!!! Then the girls thinks running off stage is going to help prevent the embarassment- their parents must be so proud.
did you see the one where the girl had been on the show 5 times and tested 22 men? yeah she still doesn’t know who the dad is…..i wonder how much that shows pays for idiots?

Hey Jus cause your trailer is a double wide don’t make you no better’n me!!
It aint the trailer that makes us all better than yous, its that we all got a tooth to chew our food an you don’t. Speak’n of which, where is cousin Cletus anywho? I caughts me some dinner, was just lyin there in the middle of the highway with this funny look’n pattern on its back and bleed’n ta death…HOOOOOOWeeeee, Cletus, bring me that tooth, we’re have’n dinner!
To bring things back on topic, I think that Talon hot sauce would go great on any food…even roadkill. 😀
Y’all I had a tooth last year- sold it a bottle of Boones Farm Tickle Pink an a pickled egg. Y’all makin Roadkill Stew? I’ll be over later- need’n to get my Mullet trimmed up a bit.

Vic, will you and the mrs. be at zestfest?
[Comment ID #27724 Quote]
We are not sure if we are going to make it- Wendy just got promoted at work, she is actually away this week for training- bachelor life for the next 4 days!! WhooHoo!! I think it’s going to be difficult to pull off and has the time draws closer I would assume Hotels and such are going to get booked up. It’s a 15-16 hour drive from here in Orlando- we really would love to go.
I am also still hunting for a pink helmet- so I can be in the Official Ryan Fan Club, I want to hold an high ranking position in it!!!
Man, I go away and talk to MSK for a bit and look what happens, first a quarrel over me and then you break into a deleted scene from “Deliverence”! Then you start talkin’ like your from Cackalacky, and the boys in the ‘Hood, and the trailer park behind our plant, but it’s good you got back on topic with the roadkill and Talon, I bet huvason would pour it on thick for that. Ain’t quite nothin’ like sun dried oppossum jerky!! (I’ll bet that’s hardshell Oppossum to you Vic).
[Comment ID #27726 Quote]
Wow…I’m truly honored! We’ll see what we can do about a helmet 😀
I’m surprized Ryan isn’t a fan of Crazy Jerry’s Brain Damage, it comes with it’s own pink helmet…

Yes- but once you eat through that crunchy outer shell- it’s smooth sailing until you gravel, only problem here is that the Turkey Vultures are pretty big and they come in big flocks, but after you two step punt a couple of them, they get the hint and back off.

Stupid animals- it sounds like they actually jump up when they realize a car is over them- that shell sounds like small gunfire going off under your car. Good times………..

I should think it will taste “Mad”-nificent. 🙂
But really, what ever happended to him? Did his wife really slam him that hard?
“But really, what ever happended to him? Did his wife really slam him that hard?”
If she did, she must be tough cause he used to check in from work as well. She must be checking to make sure his name isnt on here.

Perhaps she installed some sort of uber-secret spyware on his work computer, in addition to the chip she must have implanted while he was sleeping. Poor Mad, he seems to have transmuted into the feared “husband-automaton”. He MUST be released!
“Poor Mad, he seems to have transmuted into the feared “husband-automaton”. He MUST be released!”
Mad’s a Stepford Husband…..Oh the agony!!

Maybe the Creator somehow put MAd in the Homunculus that the DEFCON sauces stole that day. Unfortunately it’s gone – Mrs Huvason has kidnapped it now!
[Comment ID #27907 Quote]
Is it now classified as a multiple kidnapping?………
[Comment ID #27907 Quote]
So, mrs huvason now has MAD? technically speaking 😉
poor little guy, he has been right under our noses all along and cant speak to us
[Comment ID #27909 Quote]
Nah it can’t.. I forgot – MAD was still there when I left. Unless the stolen Homunculus really is some sort of transport device that the Creator can use as he wishes?
[Comment ID #27911 Quote]
Hmmm thats a good point. Maybe Creator managed to get MAD into the Homunculus and cant get him back out 😉
I suggest you free both of them huvason, thats a double whammy for you if you dont. 🙂
[Comment ID #27912 Quote]
All I know is that MAD and his hose were there. Has anyone seens MAD’s hose? 🙂
Does anyone have an email address for him?
“Maybe the Creator somehow put MAd in the Homunculus that the DEFCON sauces stole that day. Unfortunately it’s gone – Mrs Huvason has kidnapped it now! ”
This is really getting twisted. I don’t remember Mad having bright orange hair, only my Homunculus which you claim you never stole! Grrr.
“Nah it can’t.. I forgot – MAD was still there when I left. Unless the stolen Homunculus really is some sort of transport device that the Creator can use as he wishes? ”
Hmmm, interesting thought. Now Huv, step away from the pipe. 🙂
[Comment ID #27914 Quote]
I really don’t know where the Homunculus is any more. Mrs Huvason stole him. Somehow she was able to get past the DEFCON sauce guards (wow she must have secret powers – that would explain a lot over the years 🙂 )
“Hmmm, interesting thought. Now Huv, step away from the pipe.”
Have things gotten that much out of control huvason?…lol
just give the little guy back before it gets any worse 🙂

Ooops, sorry Huvason, I guess they already have.
How can this be stopped????
Say DEFCON Creator: I like your ad in CHILI PEPPER Looks impressive
I think the rest of the Blog folks should use it. I diffinently go to many
of the WEB Sites that are listed looking for new products.
[Comment ID #27923 Quote]
I think that’s the first thing I do when I get my copy, I flip throught o see all the new adds and scope out new leads. So I second that, the add looks great- a little different coloring then your site.
[Comment ID #27923 Quote]
Thanks guys, we let the people at Chili Pepper have a bit of freedom with the designing of it, I think they did a Hell of a job. Hey, when did you guys get your issue? I haven’t gotten mine yet.
Got mine yesterday 17th.
[Comment ID #27860 Quote]
Creator, I received my “special” Zero today, I think I know what the meat is in the sauce. 😉 I just hope that what I received has nothing to do with MAD! 🙂
I sent Nick an email thanking him and you for the “special” prize, he said he will post a pic of it for all to see. Don’t want to give anything away until it is posted.
[Comment ID #27939 Quote]
Me too, it came yesterday
[Comment ID #27940 Quote]
LOL! I thought you’d like it, it really goes with the theme. Like I said, it is a 1 of 1 in a really twisted way. Enjoy man!
What “special zero” is everybody talking about? Did I miss out on something?
[Comment ID #27946 Quote]
Cheffy, you’re killin’ me! It was for the lovely little kitty picture Nick took in my moment of weakness at the Fiery Foods show.
I gotcha, I was wondering what the hell everybody else was talikng about. Hey Creator, have you heard from Mad at all?
No, and it’s beginning to worry many of us. We are thinking his wife may have turned him into a “Stepford Husband”. Oh the humanity of it all!!!
The Horror, The Horror!!!!
Nobody has heard from him far as I know. Eman tried e-mailing and calling him, but there have been no replies and no answer of the phone…
[Comment ID #27965 Quote]
I feel so used, we were building this nice relationship on here- talking getting to know each other, then this one night thing at Defcon Day- Wham Bam! no call in the morning, doesn’t return our calls, or E-mails. I feel so dirty……………
[Comment ID #27965 Quote]
I hope everything is OK.
[Comment ID #27970 Quote]
So Vic…do you know everything there is to know about the crying game? 😉
[Comment ID #27971 Quote]
Me too. Don’t know the guy other than his posts on the blog, but I’m really worried about him.
[Comment ID #27965 Quote]
I’ve emailed him too. Nada.
[Comment ID #27973 Quote]
I saw the movie………eehhhww, scary!
[Comment ID #27976 Quote]
It’s weird that with “all” of the attempts from what sounds like to be a lot of people- not one word back, hope all is OK!
[Comment ID #27974 Quote]
Yep, same here. I was actually wondering about him last week, before all this talk came up about where he is. I hope all is well.
Somebody should check missing persons and obituaries…
[Comment ID #27983 Quote]
Poor mad, if you read all his comments he kept saying the wife was going to kill him and he was going to die, we all just made jokes, now look what happens….he goes missing and we all ignored his pleas for help. what kind of people are we?
[Comment ID #27993 Quote]
Thats exactly what I said Mrs. Ryan. Hey Lisa should we take a ride over to Mad’s and check to see if there are any signs of life? Was Defcon Day the last day anyone heard from him?
[Comment ID #27994 Quote]
That seems to be the consensus, since defcon day no one has heard a word.
Hmmmm, very strange. Creator, any insight?
[Comment ID #27983 Quote]
I checked the obituaries and I’m happy to say I don’t think he died.
[Comment ID #28005 Quote]
or they just haven’t found the body?
well there are many ways to hide a body….like in DEFCON meat based wing sauce ….

NOW we know what the packaging of Batch #3 is made of!…gonna have to nickbame it “soilant green” 🙁
IT’S PEOPLE. PEOPLE!!!!!!!!
[Comment ID #28005 Quote]
I think it was something to the effect of, …
It’s either them or me, turn off the damn monitor or I am taking half, and the kids! 🙂
I could understand that way of thinking and that ultimatum if he spent all his time on porn sites or out with other women etc, but for gods sake he is here talking hot sauce, it’s pretty harmless…..kind of
[Comment ID #28024 Quote]
What kind of porn sites??????
[Comment ID #28024 Quote]
i like how you end that…”kind of”
[Comment ID #28026 Quote]
well, even I get irritated sometimes with it….but not to the point of grounding you…
[Comment ID #28025 Quote]
Vic, the last thing I am gonna do is give Wendy a reason to be mad at me…. 😛
[Comment ID #28029 Quote]
But isn’t that the way with a lot of things- too much TV, video games, bowling, hanging out with the guys or girls. When something over exceeds the harmony, the balance in a mariage we tend to lash out at that “OTHER” thing/person or persons. Dang I sound like Dr. Phil…..
[Comment ID #28031 Quote]
Ok- with my head hung low, I guess
Dr. Phil is a whack job…. but I agree with everything else.
[Comment ID #28033 Quote]
LOL
[Comment ID #28032 Quote]
Is Nick going to have to have a special area on this site where people can go and work out their problems with Dr. Phil aka Mrs.Ryan
[Comment ID #28037 Quote]
Hey, Nick might just need an area for “where is mad”? Hope all is well with him. Maybe his computer crashed or something like that….
[Comment ID #28037 Quote]

That is great! LOL 😉
[Comment ID #28043 Quote]
OH NO! you guys are crackin me up!!
[Comment ID #28040 Quote]
Just a thought has the Defcon sauce ever been tested on humans before production. Maybe it caused him to spontaneous combust. I think we all should investigate.
[Comment ID #28025 Quote]
New fun with hot sauce? Hot sauce fetish perhaps?
Nick appears to be alright, after 52 wings, I am sure that wasn’t it….
[Comment ID #28046 Quote]
I don’t know I have had hot sauce in my eyes before and I am positive that I don’t want it anywhere else.
[Comment ID #28046 Quote]
It give ‘Caption This’ all new meaning doesn’t it???
I can just imagine the contest!
[Comment ID #28047 Quote]
I am glad of that.
[Comment ID #28040 Quote]
Maybe his computer crashed, their phone got turned off, and he was fired from his job all on Monday after Defcon- IT COULD HAPPEN!!
[Comment ID #28048 Quote]
I’ve can attest to that! AMEN!!!
[Comment ID #28051 Quote]
mmmmm I believe the wife said it’s them or me theory better than that Vic 😛
[Comment ID #28046 Quote]
would that be called the “hot sauce hoochie coo”?
[Comment ID #28045 Quote]
Nah… I haven’t blown up yet! Then again, you see how much Talon I eat – maybe i’m the exception to the rule 🙂
[Comment ID #28054 Quote]
Now that I would believe. It is time consuming searching web, hang out with all the chiliheads and blogging, as I sit here knowing I should be doing the dishes and getting ready for work.
[Comment ID #28048 Quote]
I agree- no burning condiments, open flame, or sharp instruments near the goods!
[Comment ID #28061 Quote]
Amen to that !!!!!!
[Comment ID #28058 Quote]
LMAO, I do that in the mornings, it’s hard going to work 🙁
[Comment ID #28063 Quote]
Tell me about it, as you know I work the lovely third shift and it is tough going to work in the summer. Shift starts at 10:00pm edt
sorry Mr. 🙁 The nice thing about my work is that I can schedule 6 hour shifts for everyone so we get to enjoy most of the day 😀
[Comment ID #28064 Quote]
Third shift is a tough shift- I find it hard to get used to, my body fights it. I did a remodel for the company I work for and did almost 7 months- it sucked.
[Comment ID #28064 Quote]
I know the feeling on third shift stuff. I worked on it several weeks ago. It messes with your sleep no doubt!
[Comment ID #28064 Quote]
What do you do Mrfreeze?

That’s cool, my Mom rents her booth/space- she’s been doing it as long as I can remeber. She still tells stories of how she would practice on us kids. She also taught for a real long time.
[Comment ID #28077 Quote]
Sounds good!
[Comment ID #28068 Quote]
That it does, but I do have internet at work if I need it. That is how I scored the 1993 # 9 bottle, I was at work at the time I found it on Blair’s site
[Comment ID #28078 Quote]
I owned my own salon for 2 years and taught beauty school for 3 years… I like managing someone else’s store, leaves me more free time and I work what I want 😀 since I do the scheduling, the hardest thing is finding honest hard working staff, but that’s anywhere. My mom went to school to do this also but now she drives truck…talk about extremes 😛
Well all I would love to sit and chat some more but i guess I should make my lunch and be off to work. Take care all and will do some chatting tomorrow night. As I say ” peace–love and peppers”

My Sister’s Mother-Inlaw drives longhaul, makes great money. She’s tried several times to settle down and “get a real job” but she keeps going back for the money. She bases herself out of another Son’s home and says she has it made. My sister has gone on a couple of hauls with her before she had her kids.
[Comment ID #28086 Quote]
See ya……Have a good one!

night mr freeze
[Comment ID #28090 Quote]
I went with my mom alot when I was younger, I hated it, loved seeing the country but being cooped up with her for weeks at a time was to much, now I live far far away and we have a great relationship 😀
“now I live far far away and we have a great relationship”
That’s funny- I think a lot of women are like that. Wendy’s mom moved with her boyfriend awhile back- they went to North Florida, about 5 hours away. Wendy would talk to her on the phone, tell me how much she missed her, stuff like that. We would make a trip up there- not two hours into us being there, they are bickering and going at it. The whole trip home “it’s gonna be awhile before we go back there” line of crap. Not three or four weeks later- “I miss my Mom, we should go up next weekend” !!!???!!! My head spins….
My Sister and my Mom and they same way………it’s got to be a GIRL THING.
Good Night Mr & Mrs R & anyone else out there……..
LOL I am the same way with both my sisters, they drive me insane……but I love them, well one of them 😛
G’night Vic sleep well

I always have lots of insight (evil chuckle), but this Mad thing is just plain weird.
[Comment ID #28012 Quote]
‘Tis true, as they say, “The secret’s in the meat”.
[Comment ID #28045 Quote]
Now THAT would be cool.
[Comment ID #28048 Quote]
Actually, at the last Defcon Day, it was more fun watching the people leave the table to answer Nature’s Call, and coming out of the bathroom with a little more pep in their step. LOL!
But seriously, does anyone have a phone number for Mad?
Yeah eman has his number i believe.
it has been reported he isn’t answering his phone nor answering email. 🙁
[Comment ID #28428 Quote]
Eman has tried calling but nobody answers or calls back. Its one thing to ground your spouse from the computer, but nobody grounds their spouse from the phone. There’s gotta be something wrong here, but of course I’m just speculating.
This is one long topic I totally missed out on. =-/
Hey all…just stopping by. Still taping the drywall….it is going to be a long night!!!!!!!!!
[Comment ID #29525 Quote]
Good Luck EMAN.
[Comment ID #29525 Quote]
Drywall can be too much fun! I have done enough of that to know that I appreciate my day job!
[Comment ID #29528 Quote]
I hear that. I don’t mind hanging the drywall, but I really don’t like the taping and spackle part!
[Comment ID #29530 Quote]
To me the drywall stuff isn’t as bad as painting. It may not be fun to me but it is way better than painting! I am NOT a good painter because I do not have the paitience for it. That I get someone else to do
[Comment ID #29531 Quote]
Painting really doesn’t bother me. It’s the tapingspackling and molding that I can’t stand!
[Comment ID #29531 Quote]
I helped my Dad add on a room to his house a few years, I would much rather do the dry wall than paint. I hate the paint smell, and the spatter it’s just messy…not that drywall is cleaner, it just doesn’t smell as bad, the worst is the dang insulation… i hate that 😐
When helping my dad build his house I quickly found out what was not fun! I didn’t mind the flooring, hardwood or tile. Alot of work but it sure looks nice. Insulation is a drag cause you pay for it later! The best part is wiring the attic in south MS in June A blast indeed!
I wonder when something truly is “Off topic” I mean
“When helping my dad build his house I quickly found out what was not fun! I didn’t mind the flooring, hardwood or tile.”
Could be followed up with a “When that was done we sat down to a bbq and ate some of the best steaks smothered in Talon from CaJohns”
At least that is what I saw when I read it. Off topic is really a perception of where something is going. 🙂 C’Mon I can’t be the only one here that can see that end statement with the steaks… I am kinda hungry though, hmmmmm
How did you know where that was going! haha Yeah I was thinking I was getting alittle off topic when I mentioned that but I didnt start it! mmmmm Steaks and Talon . Sounds like a winner indeed!
“Off topic is really a perception of where something is going.”
does any topic ever truly stay ON TOPIC?
steaks and Talon sure do sound good I agree…
Yeah I think there are not too many topic on here that don’t go off on some tangent or another. We do manage to find a way back to hot sauce every once in a while though!
yes we do, so I guess we manage to bring everything full circle in time.
I have had the fortunate opportunity to sample the Talon. WOW!! This is a great sauce!
The mix of Red Savina Habs and Fatalii Chiles really seem to work very well together…WINNER! Thanks CaJohn’s for another new addition to this chileheads quiver of sauces..TC
