What R you doing today?

[sour_grapes]

Defeated the sloth and actually bottled a batch of wine. A WS SE Vieux Chateau Du Roi that I started on 6/14/2016 according to my notes. Used some RC-212 and 3 lbs of used Pinot Noir skins. Got 30 x 750ml of bottles plus some for my decanter, which I will try later this evening. I think beer will pair up better with ribs than the wine, so the wine will be dessert.

Well, that was a good long nap that kit had!

Okay, I'll bite. What is that cork-ball decanter thingamijiggy? It looks rather 1970s-ish, like soap-on-a-rope!

A decanter from Pier One, I think. Circa 1985 if I remember correctly. The base is pyrex and very easy to clean if you leave wine residue to dry overnight. I know this from previous experience.

The wine is quite good for a red wine from a kit. Still a bit of kit taste but not as noticeable as other kits I've made. I plan on opening a bottle once it's settled down for a few weeks. Should go with about any food since it has such a light body to it.

I quit my job today.

Are you retiring (which isn't fair, you are younger than I am) or do you have something else lined up? I'm seeing the dancing banana, so I'm assuming you wanted to do it, not forced to do it.

Must be something in the wine...! Congrats on being able to do that!

No retiring, something else lined up.

I could tell you, but...

Kidding. Just moving from one government contractor to another. Although the new one is very different from any other I've worked for before.

Here we go again, another one with a job based on "secret shat". What is it with you people? I wanna know (I'll have to start reading the National Enquirer).

Congratulations. Being a grandparent is just about the best thing in the world. Spoil them kids, sugar them up, teach them bad habits, then send them home. My wife says it is our reward for not killing our children when they were teenagers and knew everything.

Last day with my current employer and a break from my Lenten fast.
