What R you doing today?

[xanxer82]

Just started a 6 gallon batch of cabernet sauvignon from an rjs grand cru kit.
It's going to be a lighter one but it's ok. It'll be a nice table wine.

It's my daughter's 4 y/o birthday today so I'll be down at the fire station for ther party. We rented a bounce house / ocean playland that would fit upstairs in the hall so that will be the main entertainment.

Once the party is over, we'll be back home to relax and try to get over whatever is trying to get into my system and make me sick. I can't stand being sick. Yuck...

Yesterday I bottled my Chablis and racked off my reds. I'll be bottling those next month in anticipation of the Chilean juice coming in.

Holy cow did the weather turn out nice today!

58 for the high on the North side of the house in the shade. It feels like 70 on the South side where my back patio is. No wind, 100% pure sunshine. I watered the vines, washed the car, pulled out 20 cases of bottles and organized them, took the dog on a hike. Just doesn't get any better than this. The door to the winery is open its so nice.

Back to reality on Wednesday as we have snow in the forecast. :<

Perfect timing. In the words of Ricky Bobby, thank you "Baby Jesus"!

We hit 58 here in Cincinnati today. It sure was beautiful outside. I was dying to pull the Goldwing out of the garage for a ride but this cold I have has gotten into my chest and the wife was keeping a close eye on me.

After we watched Secretariat I went down into the basement and dismantled my wife's garden tiller and found the problem with it now I got that fixed the problem is getting it back together like it was. Then I came upstairs and got into the Pineapple wine before starting supper we had Terrace Majors smoked out on the grill plus squash and broccoli and cauliflower. Then I went on Ebay and brought my wife a camera that she can put a scope on and take pictures with.

 

[Runningwolf]

Jtstar, what kind of a tiller? I have a mantis and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Supposed to be 55 here on Thursday, I already requested a 1/2 day vacation. Saw someone on a bike on the way into work this am. I can't wait....My son in SC put his bike down yesterday. Not to bad he said, he's got some roadrash but that's about it. His buddy that he was riding with took a turn to fast for his abilities and laid down and Josh prett much couldn't avoid it as when he hit the brakes his wheels locked up.

Brian not sure what meathod you're using but I siphon the wine back to the primary on the floor, add the chemicals and mix good with the drill. I then splash rack back up to a clean carboy on the table. This method seems to remove most of the gas and then I'm spending less time, vacuum degassing.

Dan, I will have to try that because I am just warming it up and then putting the vac pump on and letting it go (with a little agitation). I checked it againg last night and I still had gas in the SP so I degassed again for quite a while. this morning it looks like it is starting to clear a little better. We will see. It alway seems that SP has alot of gas in it. My other wines are not so bad usually one degass and they are good to go.. Still quite a bit of sediment in it so I will be racking again soon and backsweetening. I will be making another batch soon (summer is coming) so I will try your method then. Thanks Dan!

Agreed. I am also a proud owner of a red wrangler just like the one in your picture.

Jason, if you are interested in a jeep club, Mike & I and a few others just started one, justjeepin.org. check us out. We also are doing a handful of cruises that would be open to nonmembers if you are just interested in that.

Mike has a bike, haven't had it out in a long time, I don't like riding on it anymore, too many people just do not see us for some reason.

Years ago I had a Honda Ascot. Zero to sixty in 3.4 seconds. You barely have time to breath. Anyway you are right. Many people just don't see you. Even staying in the center of your lane and doing the speed limits people wait till you are almost upon them then they pull out into the intersection. Sold mine a long time ago but really enjoyed the ride.

I figured with it's ability to go fast at a drop of a dime I could get outta trouble before getting into it.

Go Mike Go!

Having a very nice Greek dinner with my wife for Valentines Day with a bottle of wine.
