21 November 2023

 Nov 21 has arrived and me with it.  Yes. 

Back a few days ago > Had to laugh a bit ago when the wife came into my room and asked if I could share a bit of my wine. l say well here's a 6 oz bottle of blackberry. Her face lit up. I say, " Yell if you want more! "

I've done 1 and a half bottles and do feel it. Course my stuff is pretty strong. '
LOL Like I'm gonna run out. and more in the making.

11/16 > 03:00 greeted my awaking eyes this morning.
Still overcast outside but like the mid 60 ish temperatures out there.
No need to check on DA Wagon this early morning as has not moved since returning from the Wife's doc visit for a blood sample and a quick roam about the city. And, I had gave it a quick wash job just before we left.
The afternoon ride about the countryside was in her Rouge so probably clean it later this morning.
And fill up some more of the 187 ML bottles as the wife and I did 5 of them yesterday. LOL Her one and me 4. About one per hour for me.
And the Fig wine mix is still bubbling like crazy this morning. Love that the yeast is very happy. '
So. off to You Tube then Netflix.
Wishing all a great set of Winds this day.+

11/17 Was HELLO world at 11:55P after asleep before 7 and dozing a few times before that in my chair. Must of been the glass of wine at Loggerheads and the two sitting here in my chair. 😉
Email done , coffee good.
Stars in the sky! Had not seen that in awhile. But, suppose to be back to COLD soon. La Yuk! My aged body and cold do not like each other at all.
So, watching some more of The 100 Season 2 on Netflix.
Picture that was on my screen this morning > had to ponder on it for awhile. Sure do miss my roaming the USA on my bikes days.


11/18
Well, out to vote at 7AM this morning so that's a done deal. Was told by one of the ladies there to keep on taking pictures. Hmmmmmmm Yep! That I love to do.
So a couple passes on Main Street at 07:30 this morning. An overcast sky took the place of the stary sky I was look at when on the first get up at near 12Midnite. Oh well, Ain't no one or anything gonna tell Maw Earth what to do. They figure she's been here for 4.5 billion years and us , a few million at max.
Christmas decorations and looking at city hall on Main Street.



11/19 Wow! Was up and making coffee at 11:30PM . What happens when I'm asleep by 6:30PM and dozing off in the chair at 6PM. 😉 '
The stars are out for sure as I walked about the yard and a visit to the shop to check wine process, a set of bubbles about every 1.5 seconds so yeast is happy. And Da Wagon didn't need cleaning in the front.
Going though pictures kept this year and there are MANY. Hmmmm.
So Sunday, what are you going to have for us? Me , Brenda and Dee for noon meal and a ride about to ?????????.
We'll see what the Winds blow our way for sure.
I'll just chill in my swing and ponder about it. ha ha ha ha


Well, it was work on the fig wine phase 3 this morning. Then clean stuff so it'll be ready for the next batch on down the line



And last sample taken this morning it was at about 10% ABV.
Well, that do catch up up to this fine morning.








14 November 2023

 And the 14th day of November be here and me with it YES!!!!!!!!!

At least been getting some rain the last few days and the brown patches of grass growing smaller in our yard. 


Course the darker green is where the sewer line runs and probably been there since this house was built in about 1947.  Smile thinking the house is the same age as my wife. 
But keeping it up was the thing 




Did get the Traverse back from Chevy Place a few weeks ago. Total cost to repair it was 3,400 bucks with 1000 from me. Sure missed driving it but love using the wife's 2011 Nissan Rouge that averages 30 plus miles per gallon when I drive it. Da Wagon gets about 21 average being nice on the gas and speed. My highest ever was in the 24 mpg range and low in the 17 mpg range. But overall in the time I've had it is about 21 mpg. 
So nice to open the garage door and see it all pertty and clean.   But telling the wife yesterday need to replace the back wiper as it makes noise and coming apart.  And ditto for all 3 wipers on her Rouge. 

Did see a chair being thrown away a few weeks ago and wife says  " I like that ".  So , a day later I pick it up and begin the reworking of it. 


The queen in her redone chain and bottom what I started with. 


Did start a new batch of Fig  wine yesterday after a few days of getting the mix ready. Fixing to go see it the yeast started working yet as added it yesterday noonish. 


It's gonna be in this 3 gallon bucket for awhile. Then transferred to the glass carboy for final brewing. 

And that's about it for what's been happening for the last monthl.
