  1. We're north of Davenport, south of Kettle Falls at a wide spot in the road better known as the Hunters/Fruitland area. As for the TTB form it's in the system. Curious though, I heard through the David Blume blog that TTB was overwhelmed with applications and were sending out preliminary approvals post haste....that is for fuel production. " might you be interested in making beverage alcohol?".....sure, but not for personal consumption nor until we get the bugs ironed out of this fuel operation. No need to worry about a new competitor. We're just a couple of shade tree types afraid that we haven't seen the worst of the fuel *crisis*. But come to think of it, maybe it'd be easier to drink the stuff and just forget the post-peak oil doom and gloom. I see you're in Ellensburg. Any chance for a tour someday as I'm passing through on my way back and forth to Seattle?
  2. Howdy to all from another newbie. Been doing a ton of research on fuel ethanol and only now stumbled across this forum. I'm very pleased for the simple reason that you guys seem to have your act together. I guess actually being in business, trying to make a profit does that to ya. I'll be lurking around trying to pick up vital information and will post later with success or failure reports. Location: NE Washington state, 60 miles from the nearest stoplight.
  3. I feel your pain. Having spent 3 decades in the federal bureaucracy I can let you in on a secret. Although it's big the fed. govt is broken up into zillions of little departments that all operate under their own set of administrative rules. These guys can decide to create a form over a cup of coffee. It's easy, afterall this is *important*. The No.1 priority of the department serfs is career security. There are guys who have no other ambition than to come to work every day for 30 years and s..l..o..w..l..y process the same paperwork time after time after time. The payoff is an airtight retirement package. Believe me, the incompetence and lack of ambition cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, the victims are us. The solution: cut the fed budget in half across the board and contract out anything left that is not inherently government, e.g., defense, law enforcement. Introduce competition for this busy work and you'll see it improve. Right now it is a monopoly that is being protected with tooth and nail infighting. I'm so glad to be out of that environment....but really enjoying the retirement package.
