Last night I introduced Katie to Get Smart. She seemed to like the show and I had fun watching it again after not seeing it for quite a few years. :)

If I did this properly, this post should go to facebook and my blog at the same time.

I was just checking on the wines that are still in the works and the
pineapple orange is clearing up nicely. It has a nice brown/orange tint
to it but is crystal clear otherwise. I can't wait to try it in a few
months.

Earl is following a similar track to Gloria in 1985 and similar wind
speeds. If this is the case, we are in for a real rough day tomorrow. We
should know more by later tonight.

Yesterday I started a 6 gallon batch of dandelion mead and about 9 gallons of banana wine. Yum!

Yesterday we bottled a bunch of my wines and meads and I have to say
that I impressed myself. I do some pretty good work. Now the real test
will be to see if I can duplicate my efforts. Here's what we bottled:Strawberry wine (6 gallons) - still needs a few months but tastes and
smells good.

Overall our vacation was pretty good. Thursday afternoon I loaded the
blue jeep and had it all hooked up and ready to go. When I was doing my
last minute check, I noticed it had a cracked rim, so we did a Jeep
change real quick and took the black one instead. We headed for Pennsic

Well, only a few hours behind schedule we are finally loaded and ready
to roll in the morning. I had the coolers iced down and loaded in the
blue jeep around 4:00 and the rest by 5:00. When I was doing my last
inspection, I spotted a cracked rim on the front of the Jeep. Since I

Sunday I got the trailer all packed for Pennsic. All that is left is to
pack the coolers, perishables and stuff that I can't pack till the night
before and we're ready for war. :) It's good to be going home again.

We went camping over the weekend and ordinarily it's pretty uneventful.
This weekend was definitely the exception. Thursday Rain got sick and
almost came home from work which would have meant that we couldn't leave
early for the trip on Friday so she stayed at work. I loaded up most of

I re-built the 2 ger door frame uprights that I broke last week (my own
fault). When I get access to a table saw, I'll trim them down a bit so
that the "U" is a bit shallower and that shouldn't happen again.Today I also decided it was time to defrost the big freezer since the

This morning katie wanted to pick me up. She's always tried and lifts me
a hair but that is it. Well, today she actually picked me up off the
ground a few inches. That really says something. This is a 70 something
pound kid picking up a 138lb adult. She is capable of lifting nearly

Yesterday we set the ger up to use for the bbq today. After getting it
all setup, including the roof canvas, I realized I should have put it up
in a different spot. So 4 of us grabbed a piece of khana and lifted and
moved the fully assembled ger about 10 feet. Pretty cool. :) I just wish

Well, Thursday morning I went down to town hall to pay their city water
hook up (extortion as far as I am concerned) fee. I'm sorry, but there
is no excuse for charging residents $2500 to hook up to city water
"because the rest of the residents have been paying monthly bills for

The night before last Tigger, our 4 month old cat, learned to climb the
ladder into our daughter's loft bed and I had to get him down at like
3am so she could sleep. Last night he did it again, except this time she
took my advice and didn't keep moving around so he'd settle down. He

You want to see this video. Forward it to anyone who owns a digital copier. This is downright scary.

We had a good and interesting weekend at Quest. It all started on the
ride up to the event, when about 30 miles out from home one of the tires
on the trailer blew. I'm talking explosive detonation here. It sounded
like someone lit off an M80 and the Jeep shook. I pulled over right away

Why plywood is not a bad choice for a khana |

One of the biggest arguments against using plywood is that it may
delaminate over time, especially when exposed to water. I can't count
the number of people who have mentioned this concern to me when I talked
about the idea. I wasn't all that concerned about delamination but
