    What are you listening to (music!!!) right now? Embarrassing or not... share

    I was offered a free ticket to the Buffalo stop of the same tour this was recorded from and couldn't go.

    All in one system sparging

    I just finished testing the sous vide machine on 2 gallons of my 49 degree tap water in an uncovered plastic bucket. Total time to reach 170 was 53 minutes.

    Another water report

    That was my original plan, but that was also before I received the water report. Now I'll keep the one I ordered while I attempt to find a plumbing company that handles water softeners and RO systems that's also willing to send someone out to the cabin to take a look.

    Another water report

    I had considered a softener and whole house RO, but my problem is where to put it. My "basement" where all the well, cistern and cabin plumbing sits is only 32 sq. feet, most of which is taken up by the stairs leading down to it.

    Another water report

    Unfortunately that's what most of west central Montana's water looks like. I'd just buy RO water if the nearest Walmart/grocery wasn't a 130 mile round trip.

    Another water report

    That's pretty much the conclusion I had come to as well, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for looking.

    Another water report

    No water softening, that's straight from the well with some settling in the cistern, then straight to the cabin.

    Another water report

    I received my Ward Labs brewers test results a few days ago, and based on my limited knowledge its not pretty. This water is from my well, which feeds a cistern that then feeds the cabin. pH 8.2 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Est, ppm 1050 Sodium, Na 334 Potassium, K 4...

    All in one system sparging

    I have an Inkbird sous vide machine on order that I'm going to attempt to use to heat sparge water. Even if it doesn't work I can still use it for cooking.

    What book is on your nightstand? Readers!

    I'm not saying the last couple of books were bad, just a bit less engrossing than the first four. I'm a huge Frank Herbert fan and have read almost everything he wrote. For anyone who would like to try some non-Dune Frank Herbert I highly recommend The White Plague, Soul Catcher and Under...

    What book is on your nightstand? Readers!

    Like Falstaff I'm reading (actually re-reading) the Dune series, but I'm stopping after #4 (God Emperor of Dune). I think the series started going a bit downhill after that.

    Montana Roll Call

    Recently moved to Augusta from the Houston TX area, still getting equipment set up as I find room for it.

    For Sale Ispindel

    I don't know how you normally ship but is it possible for you to send one via USPS? I live far enough from civilization that I don't get USPS, UPS or Fedex deliveries at my cabin, so I have to rely on my PO box.

    What's your profession?

    IT, since long before it was called IT.

    If you're willing to drive downtown you could try JPMorgan Chase, their investment bank side has a sizable IT group in Houston. A quick browse of openings shows JOBID 170033854 for a .NET developer and 170033859 for a Sr. level .NET developer...

    Steven's really on top of things. I placed my order Saturday afternoon, got the shipping notice on Monday afternoon.
