I use to help my uncle make muscadine wine every year. We made wine and home made sausage. It started out just me and him then my father started helping then my other uncles and so on. It became a thing for all the men of the to do together. Nothing against the women makers out there. This was just out male bonding thing. I always prided myself in have a very very close family. We got together every Sat. night for hamburgers followed up by wine or whiskey whichever was to your liking. About 7 years ago I moved away from the hometown and it was a little harder to get down there every weekend. But I would make it down there a few times a month. Well 3 years ago my Grandmother passed away. She was truly the bond that held us together. Because as soon as that bond was gone the family went its own way. I have been trying to get the family back together allot but there always seems to be some reason why someone can't be there. So now we get together once a year at Christmas. Which I guess is better than nothing at all but still not what our family was about. So anyway the other day I was driving from work on the interstate and saw a sign for the local Brew Shop. I went in there talked to the guy, and bought a kit. I guess I got into it to seem more back to normal? If that makes any since to anyone.Edited by: bfletch13

That sure does make sense. I am the same way with some interests.


1) I always find myself doin my hydroponics from november to about feb, my grandafther and I would make seedlings around those times to try out different tomoato plants and such for the next year. Seeing how we no longer get together and do this, for me to just be doing it, allows me the chance to remember the days as I still do the tradtion.


2) From about march to june, my father and I were big into radio controlled boats, so still to this say even after his passing, I keep those months open to build a hul from scratch, drop the gear in it, and run the boat at the bay. i stillfind myself laughing to myself as building these boats reminds me of the silly things my father would come up with for his boats.


3) from june to about august it's beach time, and from august to november it's making analo synths, My life seems to be on a schedule

Well I was at a local gathering and I heard a lady talking about how she owned a wine supply store and she tought people how to make wine. So I was talking to her and I decided to email her that week to see if she would come and teach me how to make wine. Well I sent the email and while I waited for her reply I started doing lots of reading on wine making. Well she finally emailed me back about 4 weeks later and at that time I already had 6 gallons fermenting in the basement. I havent been making wine that long, maybe 4-6 months but I love every minute of it. My dad will come over and help me so its nice becuase its something we can share.

That is exactly the way I would have been. I couldn't wait that long for her just do it on my own. All the mess ups along the way will only teach me more.

You may have read this before, but it's good for a laugh - A Bottle of Wine


For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren't married, this is something to smile about the next time you see a bottle of wine: Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally. "What in bag?" asked the old woman. Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband." The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said: "Good trade....
