What R you doing today?

Shoveling snow. Gol'durnit!!!

Brutal, I'm not ready for that yet.

In honor of all of your hard work I'm going to continue to drink my lunch and go get warm in the nice sunshine outside...stay warm and keep that stuff over there!

Drinking my lunch motivated me to finally make the Valpolicella kit. Thew in 6 lbs of Dornfelder used skins. Use the vacuum food saver to make two 3 lb used grape packs of what was left. Now I have room to freeze the turkey, oh, but I'm cooking that, doh. Grapes still smells pretty darn good, which made me switch from porter (kicked that keg)/yorkshire pale ale to Bolla Sangiovese.

Gravity was 1.088 once the grape pack thawed and was squeezed a few times. Don't know if the dehydrated elderberries really add any gravity, assuming they are for aroma and mouthfeel. Nice oaky smell once the sawdust rehydrated. Juice smelled very good even though kit was 11 months old. Smelled even better since the SE kit was 50% off.

replaced the brakes and rotors on my daughter's car, then explained to her that if a car doesn't have oil, it doesnt' run, so off to Jiffy Lube. Was trying to enjoy the house to myself by drinking my own Fredonia and watching the hockey game, but got interrupted by phone calls due to an issue at work.

Today, cleaning the house and doing laundry until my wife gets home from her scrapbooking weekend. Supposedly, I am off all week, but sounds like I'll be in at work tomorrow.

And how is that Reisling?

I finished it off dry - semi sweet. I like it a lot. I bought a bucket at Walkers since I liked this one. The 2 don't compare.

Doug we've done a lot of side by side comparisons on products. The results are astonishing.

spent the evening on Saturday at the Chicago Symphony. I'd have posted this then, but I don't like announcing that I'm away from home (for obvious reasons).

Great time. And, I stayed awake. SWMBO usually has to kick me when we go. Our concert venue is usually too warm and classical music does good things for my bp. So, I usually dozing by intermission.

Heading out into the fields again, hoping to kick out a pheasant or two....Worse comes to worse, it's great exercise...

While walking through Target, overheard something only a little boy would say. "Mom, can we see if they have farting silly putty?" I couldn't help laughing out loud as mom was aghast.

We are off from work today, so it would be a perfect day to go to Home Depot to buy some things that I need for work! I need to buy a bunch of 4x4's and make a kind of crude gantry hoist for some equipment.

I have been told there is such a thing. I know what my grandkids are getting for stocking stuffers.
