Hello Vino helps U pick a food pairing

Flashlight.. hello??

Compass.. hello...

The level, this is cool.

And not sure if they have this app for driods but for iphone it is called Around Me. It is great if you are traveling, it will let you know what restautants, motels, gas stations, etc. are around the area that you are currently in.

Julie I got the Level and that is cool
cooking conversion - measurement conversions
flybys - good one - tells you what time satellites are flying over you house and just how visible they are and which one it is
goggle sky map - good one - point droid at sky and it identifies planets and constellations
goggle translate - translate one language to another
scanner radio - lets you listen to police/fire dept where ever you are
the weather channel - Mike is right the weather bug elite is better
Volume conversion - see above
zillow - drive around and it will tell you the value of each house you are driving by

Yes this is horrible, my stomach dropped to my feet because I have a son who lives in South Korea and that is just across the Sea of Japan. Jason assures me he is fine becasue this is all headed across the ocean towards the US.

Now I am finding out my daughter-in-law's brother is currently in Hawaii on vacation.

 

[ffemt128]

I sincerely hope everyone who has family or friends in a trouble zone that everyone is safe.

We had a wonderful dinnner this evening as a family at ichiban. A good time was had by all. Looking forward to tomorrow.

 

[Wade E]

We also have a member in Hawaii, hope he is alright!!!! Me, Im going o do some more wine work today. Probably get the Chard. off the wine diamonds and filter it. Then Ill bottle the Blueberry Melomel.

 

[ffemt128]

Starting a batch of Skeeter Pee this morning. I figure it will be ready in time for my birthday in June. Yeah

 

[tonyt]

Racking MM Meglioli off lees today. Going to make this one exactly according instructions except planning 3 months in vadai barrel starting in July. That should give this expensive puppy 8 months bulk aging. Maybe taste a couple splits at Christmas and next Valentine. Try to keep out of the 750's till next summer.

 

[DavidB]

Visiting three different wineries to pick up bottles. Then the washing and scraping will begin.

 

[almargita]

Ordered a 3 gal carboy from George with some yeast & other goodies that I needed on Thursday evening so I can start my Blueberry/Pomengranate. I needed a extra 3 gal as i am currently waiting on my Peach Icewine & Blackberry Port all needing that size. Much to my suprise, they are here already on Saturday morning!!!
Great service George!!! I wasn't expecting it till next week. Will probably start it tomorrow as I'll probably not feel like it later tonight after the Western PA get-together this afternoon.........

Well since I've been scarce this week I'll start with last week.
Sunday during the downpour, we visited 3 wineries. Me Kat and my friend Jenna. Had to push the car out of the mud at one vineyard becuase his parking lot had flooded.
And this week went by quickly. I bought a small deep fryer and made chicken wings last night. We had an assortment of beers and opened up a bottl eof my pinot noir. Yum!
Today I put in two concord vines. Hopefully I bought them in time this year. They weren't dried out like last years attempt.
I should be ready to start some major gardening in about 2-3 weeks.
Now I'm just relaxing a bit.

Got home a little bit ago from DJRockinSteve's house. A good time was definately had. Cut up 36 jalepeno peppers and 6 hot banana peppers and started a 4 gallon batch of pepper wine. Will likely experiment with this batch and back sweeten some of it with various other juices. Starting SG was 1.080 using 12 cans of Welches frozen grape concentrate as a base.
