I guess I'm guilty of not listening to the whole album. I do love the song PSRT. Why don't you do the honors brother?
I like this time at night on HBT

Wife is out all day until late this evening, got the kitchen to myself for once. Bottling and bottle cleaning day!

3 cases of sparkling apfelwein bottled, 5 cases of empties cleaned and drying. I checked on my Baltic porter; it is about 75% done so I brought it in to warm up and help it finish. It is clean as a whistle, no esters or diacetyl at all. It's going to be a super nice beer.

...and done. Everything is clean, dry, and put away. My wife is coming around to my homebrewing hobby as I invariably leave everything cleaner than when I found it. Hell, I could probably perform aseptic surgery on my kitchen counter now, it is so clean.
Now about these dishpan hands...

Brewing chemicals are he'll on the nails.

What? This WAS my day of beauty.
Its ok TC. We still think you are pretty.
I haven't brewed for a while. My wife is missing the beer but mostly the wine I made for her. I do have 10 gallons of apple wine that should be ready soon but no beer for me
I think starsan would actually dissolve a nail
A leaky bottle did quite a job on my metal shelving.What a waste of that one he got yesterday

I was playing with Starsan and PBW today, mostly PBW. I do a pretty good job of rinsing my hands as I am working, but my hands will probably be peeling tomorrow. Whatever. I'm all ready to bottle my helles and my porter when they are ready.
Here is an old project that is now almost finished. I love when I can check one of those off my list. This is a 1970 Quincy 230 compressor. We got it for free from an old customer when they tore down the building where it was used. That was in '05. We just happened upon the perfect motor for it and it runs perfect. I think it was completely overhauled a year or two before we got it. I am trying to spray some cabinet doors and this will make all the difference.

Engineer porn! My leg just twitched. It's great to see oldish gear up and running.
I think I need a cigarette.
I'm surprised the gaskets/seals are still holding air.
I know! This thing is well built. Its past life was devoted to pneumatic heat control. We had to change out the pressure switch. The old one was only 40 psi. I'm sure that only 40 psi was pretty easy on the old girl. We have since added an hour meter, installed the proper pulley on the motor, installed the plumbing for our needs and put the guard back on. Check out that 40 some year old paint too.
But you know one thing. That baby is built like a tank. Probably can survive the end of the world.
There are a few very minor leaks on all the gadgetry on the head. No major seals are leaking. I'm guessing the rebuild was pistons/rings only. I'm going to check into a rebuild kit for the head.

I'm sure you did already, but make sure to drain it.
It was dry but we found at least an inch of scale in the bottom. Clean as a whistle now. We even piped out from the bottom drain to a ball valve so draining will be easy now.

I'm not sure what you are using it for, but it will do it with a smile.
The background in the photo is the lower heated portion of our electrical shop and my brother/business partner. The building is an old (early 1900's) factory (so I'm told). Two stories and about 10k sqft. We are going to pipe in a few hose reelers for air tools and such. The main motivation for fixing this up was my spray room upstairs. The portable compressors just weren't up to the task of spraying latex.

Melana - when do you want to get together for a beer? Schedule is pretty flexible until March 4.
Post a photo. I am wondering if Melana looks like an old car or that sexy little demoness

I never tried to date my compressor, I know 30 or about years of it's existence, looks similar.

DEMONESS! DEMONESS! Old cars are for wimps.
The date was on the tank.
I kind of feel accomplished when I wake up and my hands peel from those 2, like good things are coming my way!
Quite true any pressure holding vessel will be dated, never bothered to look, I will have to once the temps get up a little.
Having a taste of a fresh saison that in no ways compares to the one I just finished that was a bout 6+ months old.

I'm in NOLA next week... Week after?
Hello late nighters. I thought it was midnight, but the clock says its only 9:00. I was just gifted 3 free hours.
It's midnight. Clock isn't so friendly to me.

Ha ha congrats! I like it when I wake up hours before my alarm, look at the clock, realize I have a few more hours of sleep and smile.
I'm so tired, I wish I could bank the hours to use later. They will go to waste tonight.
