worked out, including a 4 mile jog and came home to pull a wire fence. gotta open up the back pasture so i can get to those wild black raspberries later

 

[wines just fine]

tom wouldn't there be mercury in it?is it poisonous?would a filter remove it?

The fluid would be alcohol.

It's cheaper and less toxic than mercury and ethanol freezes at -114 C as opposed to mercury which freezes at -39 C.

That really sucks Marly, please be sure you are absolutely certain you'll be safe. We can always brew another batch. Hope it all works out good!! Keep us posted for sure.

Had a busy couple of days and little sleep so today I'm pottering around in my wine room and generally pampering myself.

 

[marly]

about my broken thermometer,i e-mailed wine expert and they told me it contained toluene which is poisonous and to dump the port.i am rather amazed as they offered to replace it although they don't have any chocolate port they will give me aregular port.the shop igot it from has the chocolate orange so i might get that.a better ending than i thought!! marly

Mentally preparing for meetings this evening.

 

[ffemt128]

Meetings went better than anticipated last night.


Pulling into the parking lot this morning at work, I look up Liberty Ave and at the intersection of 28th St there is a City of Pgh refuse worker and the driver of the pick up truck that was in front of it lumping on each other in the middle of the road. Wow, those 2 are in for a bad day.

 

[ffemt128]

Enjoying a glass of Chianti-Burgundy mix right now and getting ready to go to a LGA graduation/appreciation dinner to celebrate the completion of the Local Government Academy class.
