What R you doing today?

Well I degassed the crap outta it before racking it yesterday 1.020 before racking (strawberry was down to 1.010 - so figured do both at once)

Little late for pictures... other than of the darling wife who's still a little upset I mopped the stipled ceiling apparently that's not a smart thing either. But it sure got the job done quick

Damn, pictures would have been great. I never take pics of my F-Ups either. I've had some doozies, not while making wine though.

Sort of how I feel when a snow storm hits the south. Up here, snow is an afterthought .....

("by the way, the forecast calls for 14 inches of snow <Yawn>... In other news, a cat was rescued from a tree. Let's go to our on site reporter Trish....")

... But they seem to go nuts when it hits below DC.

Crooks winery in Crooks, SD was closed when we drove up...found another local winery called the Strawbale Winery in Renner, SD. Proved to be a real interesting tasting. Bought some jalapeno wine as well as a local white a red grape gris. Bonnie, the vintner, gave me a tour of their 'back room' and I was just salivating. She and her husband showed me the better bottles they started with, graduating to 500 gallon containers to the 1500 gal vats. Never had a Buffalo berry...the wine smelled like mums, was crystal clear and semi-sweet. Their elderberry had a bit of spice undertone, aged 6 years. We made out cheap: $5/tasting 5 of their wines with an etched, complimentary wine glass as a souvenier.

LOL that was part of my weekend fun (other than her and her friend trying to put me in the hospital; both tackled me while I was sitting on the stairs (I didn't spill my glass of wine though!) put my back out for the weekend.

Except we only hand pink n purple - so it was alternating fingers/toes...

Today - I'm beating my head against the wall at work. I love vacation season...

And we wonder why women can be so difficult at times. It's because us fathers spoil them from the start and they come to expect if from BF and hubbies. (just kidding ladies) We do spoil our girls though, no doubt about it.

I'll be going in morning to pick more elderberries. I think I'll clean ou tthe one bush tomorrow. I did locate another one last weekend that looked promising. I'll check that in the am also. Hoping for 10 lbs tomorrow but will be happy with 5 or 6. That will take me to close to 70 collected soo far and 60 sill in the freezer if I can get 6-10 more.

lmao, yea, since we don't get much on the way of tornados in the east, our news people are pretty anal about it.
