It was 55 here yesterday. Right now it is 28 and has been snowing all day. What a difference a day makes.

Being lazy. Was supposed to start 2 new batches but I refuse to do so until I have bottled some others first and I just cant get myself to do it yet even though its been in the carboy over a year.

Beautiful day here, ~60F and blue sky -- headed out on my Harley out for a couple hours ride thru some of the local backroads.

Back at work today after the long weekend. Was out like a light by 9:30 new years eve. The first my sister and a friend came down for dinner, we polished off 5 bottles of wine. Spend Sunday hanging out with our 3 y/o playing games and putting together puzzles. It was a good start to the new year.

Last night I racked my skeeter into the secondary and my Kiwi into the clearing and stabilzing phase. I am trying a couple of new things with my skeeter this time. I added 1 OZ of dried lemon peel to hopefully add to the lemon flavor and am going to add a bottle of lime juice in at the end. I will let it sit on the peel for a week or two before I rack again. The first batch went so fast (with giving it away for Christmas and things) that I didn't really get to much for myself. Oh well I can make as much as I want and I really like it when other people enjoy the wine I have made!

 

[Redtrk]

Noticing how much the wine has been clearing this morning. With a light on the other side of the carboy you can see the dark to light in the container. Every day the dark line goes further and further down. We are getting close to 75% dark at the top.

Wishing that I could get to some warm island. Still trying to recover from surgery, $$$ not a problem, the love of my life (and she really is) won't go. She is not a beach chick, she is a tourist. What island can I go to where she can see or do interesting tours?

Richard - at this time of the year anyplace warm works for me. Cozumel Mexico comes to mind though for an island. I've been there a couple times on cruises and going back again on one in March. And we have also spent a week at Playa del Carmen (lot's of tours there also) where the Cozumel ferry docks at the mainland. On Cozumel there is horseback riding, ATV tours, shopping, the beach, Corona's, etc.

Itsuko and I are heading to Orlando Fl early tomorrow morning just for a small break from the cold. 4 days of 60 - 70's weather sure will be better than the 13 degrees it was here this morning.

PS-back in the 70's my wife worked in the Bellmawr Industrial Park and I worked in Lawnside, Salem, Cherry Hill, and Maple Shade during our time living in Westville NJ.

We were there in September and loved it and Playa del Carmen was a lot of fun. This was on a cruise and we also made a stop in Grand Caymen Island. Both were just fabulous.

Richard, we aren't beach people either but you may want to consider Costa Rica which has some of the best ecotours in the world.
