Ischiavo great to hear from you! Looking forward to seeing pics of your work. It's inspiring to see the results of true pros.
Hydrometer broke in 2017 you've had since 1986 or so... my first I thought; that's not that long ago. Instant later Wow 31 years ago!! How time flies
Well done. Got any glass carboys from that 80's circa as well?

Is this a guava? Its white inside but likelt not ripe.
A lot of small pumpkins there but some huge as well!
Happy Halloween late nighters...I have to work tonight...sigh.
Ok, yes I use this thread to ramble and vent
I post thoughts here to record life events
That you know me better, no Ischiavo Im not a bed wetter
In the event I pass away
None of us are here to stay
Im just fine dont get me wrong
Its through HBT I sing my song
I went from stock boy to Sailor
Nothing since has been so greater
One of my lifes best choices
Not sure my parents had the same voices
A Navy recruit to a Senior Chief Petty Officer in the United State Navy
Since Im retired now I seem an ingredient in the gravy
Went through some great jobs after I retired.
Paid well, good workplace ; isnt that the desired
Previous job I was ok with it
No stress, great pay and excellent benefits
No job satisfaction though
Thats the truth that you should know
So to keep my wife happy
I quit my job
Moved jobless to Hawaii
Bankruptcy happened
It was not my desire
Took me about a year to get a job
I wasnt a local
Didnt know how to hob knob
(Something about that last lines sounds like a sexual innuendos if you werent born 40-50 years ago
Anyway
So now Im a general maintenance tech for military housing. I kind of like it. Been doing this for 2.7 years. Theres not much I cant repair in a house these days. Its more a matter of do I want to. But I dont have a choice. I get my work orders each day. No matter how easy or hard. Then I complete them.
Wow this is maybe close (no not even) to my longest rambling post.
I was going to just post a bit of rhyming rambling that was brought about from a coworker who let our Flag fall raggedy. I dont think he knows better.
Time to post it. Not great poetry but reflects my thoughts.
AND! I DID use some lyrics from JOHNNY CASHs song The Ragged Old Flag. Forgive me Mr Cash. (Pretty sure Johnny would be ok with this)
Dan and Mel Unspoken Conversation
I walked by Van Forty the other day
And on the antenna an American Flag does stay
I said -
Your antenna is leaned a little bit
And that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it JC
203 said hey 196
is this the first time you thought about this
I said I think it is
He said take a knee
Let's talk about Liberty
I don't like to brag but I'm kinda proud of that ragged old flag JC
So said Francis Scott Key
When he wrote Oh Say Can You See
She lead our nation through times of trouble and good times
Each morning here at Hickam Base
At eight AM we give our grace
You see Dan;
In her own good land here
She's been abused,
She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused,
And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin,
But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in.
Cause she's been through the fire before
and i believe she can take a whole lot more. JC
I said hey my friend and brother I agree
The American flag will always stand for Liberty
Respect her, love her, don't let her touch the ground
When the fabric of the flag wears out
Renew it and praise and shout
I live in the USA!
Land that I love. I'm here to stay
So I ask you Mel
Fold her up just so right
Into a triangle so each side is right.
Bury her with respect and love
And put up another USA FLAG with dignity respect and love
Mel and Dan unspoken conversation
I️ think my wife planted ours about three years ago. Its not taller than the fence yet but produces lots of beans. Not sure now big the trees get.
It says I do not have permission to view the gallery.
An easy way to post pictures with the new forum software is to simply drag the file from your desktop and drop it in the post field. Then it will ask if you want to post a thumbnail or a full size of the picture.
You don't see a picture at all? I usually post from my phone so that seems to complicate things a bit. Probably more so as my phone is a little dated. Things seem to change hourly with the upgrade going on. I'm sure I set my media to public. I'll check.
Hope you all have a beer in hand. Happy Thanksgiving.
Not quite sure how I️ found the path back (the look). But glad you all did and caught up
Happy days to you all. This sight we enjoy as HBT changes, we do too in tech. But beyond that we’re still brothers and sisters getting through this life. Celebrating the good times and sharing the bad and everything in between
Cheers friends!
Truly
Danny
We can always rely on Dan to find the positive in any situation. The world would be better with more like him.
Mahalo amigo.
I️ don’t remember exactly how many years ago thumbs up were anonymous. Then thumbs up became likes and the person who liked the post was named (except on phone apps) Now thumbs up are back that show up as likes with a name attached even on the phone apps. And this app is more picture friendly.
Changes are usually a pain in the butt. This new HBT App. I️ like I️t; it’s pretty sweet and knowing this site’s authors; I️ don’t know them personally but seeing this site grow under Tex’s watch. I️t keeps getting better, and better.
Thank you to all you techno guys and girls that make this a kick butt site and to all the mods and people working out of love for this home. Mahalo to you all!
To all who contribute and confide here, who make this place so interesting and beneficial to brewing and to life. Mahalo brothas and sistas
Cheers
Dan
