That just looks like an awesome meal!! How did you do your kababs?
Overnight in marinade (lemon juice mostly). Then over hot coals. Nom nom.

Ps, the kabobs and tabbouleh look great. Thank you for the recipe. You weren't joking about the parsley. I have no problems with that. I love Epicurious and Gourmet magazine especially.
I haven't got those, but I did subscribe to the print and online Cooks Illustrated and it was solid gold, every issue. I mean solid gold. I held onto them forever. But all it takes is one de-cluttering frenzy and gone.
I love deer, grew up eating lots of it, plenty of squirrel and rabbit too but nothing beats a good pot of deer chili. You can make your own chili powder out of those habs, but I would recommend mixing some other milder peppers in though, or blending it with some store bought. You just need to smoke the peppers a little, maybe put a slight char on them before or after, then if they are not dried completely finish drying them, (food dehydrator works fine) and then use something like a coffee grinder to make your powder. I like to mix in some paprika for fun.
Those pools look like they work well. I've got a cool homemade gardening gizmo I will take some pics of when I get a chance this week.
I have been so busy, finding out that the wife is pregnant, remodeling the house, planning for a vacation to San Diego to visit the in-laws, and trying like hell to get my electric brewery up and going. Phew!

Glad it worked. Your work is clean, what is the advantage over hose?
I'm still messin' around with the floats; have little leaks here and there. Not enough to really worry about. Pleasantly the t's aren't leaking. At this point I'll just shoot some pictures here and there. I need to build some more just to have stuff to post! Mostly I really want net cups to make lettuce, herbage, and spinach. Sub-irrigated In trays with 1/4 inch water. And you guessed it....dank hops. I think a Walmart bag will be perfect to contain the Hops from taking over your yard. Last year I built a really cool sprinkler for my kids and the turd cracked. Anyways I'm thinking it could work as a hop or green bean trellis. Here's a pic in case anybody wants to make it. This isn't mine but mine looks similar.
I need the hose to be able to water the tons of old fashioned potted plants we have around the back yard, and the peppers and herbs I have in the ground. And it will be interesting to see exactly how much water the plants are using each day (and that is lost to evaporation).
I think the sprinkler thing looks cool! I would play in it when it's 105 degrees here! Probably too little for hops, but should work great for green beans.
I lose very little to evaporation. For example, new plants in my pots only need to be watered once or twice a week. Mature plants need water twice a day now. Ugh. Tomatoes are voracious drinkers!
I've definitely got to catch up to you guys with trough and float valve.

Are you going to go rain gutter system? Larry nailed a rain gutter that is 10 feet long to two 10 foot long 2 by 4's. He started with cleats for support but later realized they were not necessary. From there you end cap them and put float in. There are detailed instructions online.
Hey that's a good idea. I'll scour the webz tonight for plans. Thanks!
Check this out he used a float in 1 bucket to keep them all filled. It's not even a nice kerick valve.

Have you considered making salsa out of them? You can freeze them too, although they aren't as crunchy when they thaw.
One thing that I've done with extra peppers, (not that I have many these days) is to make chili powder. Pickling them is always good too. I actually have a video of me eating a whole pickled hab, but I don't think I should share that haha.
