Feel better Wade!!!

Ky had a friend sleep over last night, this morning we made cookies... YUM!
 
Hope you're feeling better Wade.

Cleaned a few more cases of bottles today. Need to get some denatured alcohol to get the last of the adhesive off. Labels came off easy with a hot water in the bottle. I have a sink full of my old bottles soaking now. Those labels will fall off.

Heading to Bedford PA here shortly.
 
I'm thinking I need to start another batch now that i'm hooked. Skeeter pee seems to be the thing on here and I think the wife will like it. Well tomorrow I'll go buy the supplies and another 6.5 gallon glass carboy. :ib
 
Now thats the spirit!

Yeah i'm hooked. :r

I also have made 2 double batches of my mom's family recipe spaghetti sauce today along with 4 double batches of homemade granola.

Football is on TV and I can see it from my kitchen. Luckily our Cincinnati Bengals game is blacked out here because the locals won't pay to go watch them lose AGAIN. Therefore I get to watch the Giants/Eagles game. Not like I care who wins this one, but it's football! :h
 
Cleaned and delabled two cases of bottles the other night. Gotta sanitize them and fill them up.
Gonna bottle the meritage.
I need to design a lable for the cab sauv, skeeter pee, merlot, jalaepno and meade. I'm not too sure about the cranberry. .. I dont remember if i backsweetened the SP enough yet though. Will have to sample it.
AAt the brother in laws house watching the Ravens game. LEaving for mom's house at 4 for dinner and christmas cookies. :)
 
We had Christmas diner with my wifes brother and sister and their spouse Prime rib with twice baked potatoes sweet corn cranberry salad to much to remember what all we had after everyone left to go home took a nap while trying to read some threads on our forum
 
racked 57 gallons of wine, took all afternoon to get it done but we sampled some from each carboy made the afternoon go much faster. 20 gallons of what we racked was muscadine, boy is that stuff coming alone great!

Holy crap Julie, you trying to catch up to me! We went to sil's for a Christmas dinner/gettogether and watched the Steeler's lose. Dang that was a close game and would have been reaaly cool if they could have pulled it off in the last couple of seconds. But it didn't happen.
Hey I have a couple extra bottling crates for the first one that comes by and gets them.
 
Racked my Peach, Blackberry and Conconrd Grape, gotta quit sampling so much of that stuff. Just finished having pizza with Black Currant wine. Loren

Rod as we were listening to them on the radio last night in the car my daughter was just saying she would love to see them. They were on campus at Penn State but due to an exam she could not take the time to see them.
