Bottled a new batch of divine Kiwifruit wine and started a batch of Lime wine. Too cold and wet here to go out.
At least the wine warms me.....drinking on my own....hmmmmm...

Collette and I are now on the lookout for a still, look out if we weren't dangerous before we soon will be!....still wanna come to our meetings Crazyx?

Watching it rain this morning. I knew I should have cut the grass yesterday but it was just too darn hot and the beer was just cold enough.

Edit to add: It stopped raining. I added a 4th wire to the grape trellis, added another line for my hops vines to continue growing, and put 2 - 8' stakes in with a rope run between them on my raspberry row to hang netting on.

Going ot help my son move furniture shortly. Yesterday we painted the living room, stailwell and upstairs hallway. We also painted all the trim in those areas. 11 hours of painting was a real joy.

 

[Leanne]

Now that I'm back home I decided to spend some time just for me. Yeah right............ Today I've walked the dogs, taken my nephew to visit his partner's family, had friends drop by for an impromptu meal, started 10 gals wine and had my brother ( and his sons ) move in to my house because he has plumbing problems at his house. Of course they all wanted feeding and watering so it should be my cellar that gets dented most. LOL.

Did you start the Niagara yet? I think I am ordering that muscat tonight you are making this sound too good for me to wait any longer, I'm going to have two carboys free by the end of this week, so I'm going to need something anyway.

Well today I had my wine club meeting. We talked about fruit wines and the question of whats the specific gravity of pure alcohol. Well I got everclear and poured it in my test tube.
DO NOT DO THIS !
Just as I finished filling the tube it literly fell apart in my hand. Reason I think is the alcohol was so strong it cracked the plastic.
On another note I toured them on my "brewing" garage and what wine is aging / fermenting. Herre are a few pix

 

[Runningwolf]

Tom, it looks like you have a lot of head space in the boys not covered up. Are these in secondary fermentation? Thanks for sharing.

 

[Tom]

I have them over sulfited some by mistake so they are OK

 

[millwright01]

Bottled the Skeeter Pee tonight after I got back from some R&R at the campground. Getting ready for vacation.

Going to work

wishing I had another day off to visit with my family that is in town.

 

[jeepingchick]

well it was my girls last day of school today, and how does she finish up her very last recess of the year??? By falling off the equipment and breaking her arm!!!! she will be fine, it was a mild fracture, a bit more serious than a hair line but def not compound so thats GREAT! poor baby!!! she is still flying out to her grannys tomorrow so i had a fun filled day of ER and then packed a suitcase!

 

[Runningwolf]

Nikki soory to hear that. I hope she has a fast recovery and a good time! Take this time for yourself to have some "you time".

 

[Wade E]

My daughter did the same thing last year the day after school was over and had a pink cast on for awhile, sure seems like those casts come off a lot faster now or is it that we just did a better job of breaking bones when we were younger. I spent 1 1/2 hours at the doctor waiting today to get a shot in the spine and then said screw it and walked out. They called a little later and I said its not fair for you to over book the office and make everyone wait just because you want to make more money. This isnt the first time Ive had to wait a long time and wife waits almost everytime she goes. They said they were very sorry and that for now on they will make sure that at least we get in and out in under 30 minutes. It better happen!

 

[jeepingchick]

wade that sucks!!! sounds like a load of BS to me as well!!

and she didnt even get a cast, i feel slighted with nothing to sign or doodle on!!! LOL!!! i just got home from dropping kylie off at the airport with ehr granny. i was a teary eyed wuss as i waled away... my best friend left for Cali today, the packers got all her stiff the other day and she finished gettin the house ready yesterday so now she is off....what a BLAH day ...
