Racking off the fines from my CC LR Old Vines Mencia. Then transferring the CC SHowcase Red Mountain Cab out of Vadai #2 and back to Glass. Old Vines Mencia then into Vadai #2! :sm
 
Just goy back from buying my new rod and reel. Picked up an Ugly Stick and a nice 10 bearing with extra spool. Just lined it with some FireLine Crystal.

Starting my first batch of Skeeter Pee.... I hope?.. It's all in the bucket anyway (6 gal of water, 10lbs of sugar, 2 cans of white grape peach concentrate, 2L of peach yeast slurry/starter, 32oz bottle of lemon juice (2 more for down the road), energizer & nutrient).. We'll see when i wake up, whats goin on

SG of about 1.070 +/-

So deez, that peach took off?!? I think some1 told you to have a little faith and even more patience....

Starting all mine this evening... Then a few more different things tommorrow.
FYI, Per your advice I reduced those down and low and behold... I didn't need the extra sugar after all... SG is right where I wanted it!

It took off actually, i'm not sure if its the peach slurry or the 71B-1122 i sprinkled on top :) but its rocking now. I vaguely remember something about faith and patience, but.. its kinda fuzzy :)

Glad to hear the reducing worked out :db
 
Last night Me & Kat took Tristen to the National Aquarium in Baltimore for a special members only night and screening of Planet Earth in "4D" It was nice to roam around with hardly any other people around. We didn't get back until late last night so we took today off from work and kept Tris home from school.
Today involved hiking and fishing and then grilling at the house.
I snuck an extra couple of feet onto our little garden patch for some more tomato plants.
Can't wait to buy my own house. This in-law apartment is the pits.

Dan if you're short on space have you tried the topsy turvy. I have grown tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in them with great success.

Last November, Mike and I and 11 other friends started a jeep club. Today was our first big jeep event. Today was Jeep's official "Go Topless" day. So we decided to do a charity event. We organized a jeep cruise from different points in Western PA and had a central meeting point in Indiana, PA. From Indiana, PA we cruise to the Flight 93 crash. We charged everyone $5 for riding with us, and did a chinese auction. All proceeds went to the Wounded Warrior Project. Not sure on how much we collected but I do believe around $2000. We had 92 jeeps join us today plus the 1st Battloin, 107th Field Artillery out of New Castle, PA joined us with 2 Humvees and 1 jeep wrangler. Johnstown police escorted us thru the city. It was an awesome day to collect that much money for our Wounded Warriors. It was, also, very humbling to have people stop along the streets and shout out at us "thank you for supporting our soldiers."

Today was a great day!
