Sorry, guys. I've been out of touch for a while now. Really too busy at work to "hang out" like I used to. Plus, I recently found out that my HBT email was not flowing so I was missing notifications for a while. I would be in for this if I had anything, but I'm questioning my quality right...

We installed some equipment at work and ended up mounting the boards directly into the machines, rather than mounting the panels then came in. Therefore I have several of these panels available. I'd hate to see them go to the recycle bin if people can use them. I'd take $20 each plus...

Sold??

Just noticed I do have a pic of some wiring. The grey cord is 50Amp. Used to supply the control panel. I'm not sure what type it is, but it's not the soft rubbery cable normally used to go to devices. It looks like wire to go into walls. The black cord goes from panel to kettle. That stuff...

Decided to downsize and now have a Mash and Boil system for my mostly 2.5 Gallon batches. That means I don't need my OTHER electric stuff that's just in the way in the garage. I'm parting it all out. For now I'm posting some of the bigger items. I'll add some of the small electronic stuff...

This may have already happened...

Just dipping my toe in. A friend started smoking cigars as a weekend hobby with his kid. Figured one a week at his age wasn't likely to cause any health issues, LOL! I'm not sure how much into it I'll get. It's more of a social thing for me. I am looking forward to building my own humidor...

He's so cute! Sticking his tongue out at the camera like that!

Watched Together Alone. Hulu show (Well, not sure how makes it, but it was on Hulu...) Weird show about two young adults who are eager for acceptance, but have too many issues to be one of the cool kids. They are very close friends, but it's strictly platonic. It's a bit unusual, but I liked...

Last year was canceling Dish after MANY years (installed my first dish myself from a Radio Shack kit!). I am not sure what we were paying at the time, but a $30 Sling account seemed to be a decent price. Dish cut my bill to $80, then, because of my many years of loyalty reduced it even further...

Detroit may be worse than Buffalo...

Well sometimes. She's opting to go other places now, but she's eating some. Found her munching on a mouse and some cat food vomit 2 days ago. not sure it was her vomit, but it would be reasonable to expect it to hers. She's now eating some pureed, almost liquid cat food. She seems to have a...

Now one of my cats is under the weather. She's lost a lot of weight and I had to take her in to the vet to see why. They gave her antibiotics for a bladder infection. Over the weekend we saw no signs of eating or pooping/peeing. Took her back Monday. They kept her to monitor her. Gave her...

I love cinnamon Life. I sometimes buy it just to snack on dry. It usually disappears at my house before I get more than 1 bowl. Others like it too. Can't remember the last time I had the original flavor though.

Accidentally planted a bunch of serrano peppers this spring. Was planning on half green bell and half jalapeno, but grabbed the wrong trays and ended up with 2 bell peppers and about 6 serranos (near as I can tell. They were just labels Hot Chili Peppers). I'll be honest, they are too hot for...

Lol! Thanks, guys. Family bought me a Mash and Boil system so I can downsize my equipment and get more consistent, and not hog the stove all winter! I maybe should have asked for a Santa costume!!

Will do. Gotta clean inside and then do the cleaning run. Lucky I have a couple gallons of untasty homemade wine I can use. I'll take pics when I set up for the cleaning run.

She's getting up in years, but has been afraid of storms for a long time. I guess her hearing is quite good because she can warn us of rain or thunder about an hour before we hear it. Poor thing. Kept me up half the night last night!

FWIW I tested my still the other day and it seemed to work. I just used water and a quick 1 cup collection (due to time constraints). I still have to install a thermometer and a pressure relief. My collected water was slightly cloudy, which reminded me I forgot to clean the thing! What...

North Peak Brewing in Traverse City. They sell in "Stubbies". Bench cappers are awesome. Just use moderate pressure. I own a hand-me-down capper from a friend's father and it works great. Probably not as easy to adjust the height as some of the newer models, but I don't mind.
