What R you doing today?

[Sirs]

well went and cut and pulled down 2 (5 gallon) buckets full of frost grapes seeing we had a real hard frost last night. I did abit of spot checking the grapes and all seem to be good and sweet although a few tree fulls I'd been watching had done dried up to bad to salvage but still know where plenty more is at so will probly be off to get more tomorrow

Relaxing after a day of pretty hard work. It's a PITA to go back to laboring again after so many years, but in this recession, one has to do what one has to do.
Sure does make it nice to get home and have a hot bath then a drink.
I don't know if it's a good or bad thing to still work young guys into the ground when your getting into the years like me.

It's always a good thing to be able to work the young guys into the ground. I may not have the strength of someone younger than me but I always had the stamina and good work sense to be able to outwork younger people. It not about strenght, it's about pacing yourself.

that and knowing all the shortcuts to make it easier and quicker of course it is fun to see them try to do as much as you and not be able to

Well my apple has cleared (it looks awesome) and my first skeeter is fermenting vigorously man this is a great day!

 

[Runningwolf]

Brian, very cool. That apple looks very clear even from a distance!

 

[Brian]

Dan it is very clear I could probably read through it.. I love the deep amber color of it. Best of all it tastes great. With a little aging I think it will be awesome.... I need to keep the recipe for that one for sure.

That apple does look wonderful! Me, Im getting ready to leave for most of the day to do some side work and regretting it cause my back is not feeling good at all.

Crushed 3 buckets of noble muscadines and added peptic enzyme and sugar to 1.085, racked two 6 gallon carboys of red muscadines, pitched yeast in a 5 gallon bucket of blackberry, stirred 4 buckets of red muscadine wine in primary fermentation, put 6 cases of used bottles in water / k-meta / dish washing detergent to soak for good cleaning. Drank 4 glasses of bronze muscadine wine with supper and took a nap in my easy chair! Now, I'm looking for the Advil. Hurting all over but it feels so good! It was a good day!

My son called me at 830 this morning. They just had a new fridge delivered and it won't fit in the cherry cabinet the old fridge came out of. I gathered up some tools and headed over there. Had to take the circular saw to the lip of the top shelf over the fridge and cut about 1 inch out. Then because the fridge was also too big to fit between the island and the cabinet we had to remove the doors and 2 pull drawers before we could get it in place. This is a fancy stainless steel 2 door fridge with water on top and the freezer on the bottom. I hate messing with new electric fittings etc. But we finally got it to fit in and put it back together. Time for a beer.
