The blueberry wine is mighty fine. Has a perfumy buqet. Strong but still sweet. Just need it to settle out, put some finings in it, filter it, and let it age at least a month, and it will be read to bottle.

My gallon (and a half) of blueberry wine is in the secondary fermentation jugs and so far it tastes pretty good,(for a young wine).

I can't seem to get my kiln up to 1865 degres Fahrenheit without turning on the third element. With two elements turned on they draw 12 amps combined. With three turned on they would draw 18 amps. the circuit breaker is limited to 20 amps!

I'm going to ask my sister to buy me a new turntable cartridge with an elliptical stylus for my birthday. It doesn't cost much but I've already asked for two new midrange drivers (speakers to the uninitiated). Hi Gary 😀

I just ordered a set of drive belts for a tape deck I'm working on. It is an assorted set so I didn't have to measure the old one. It will be for sale, at a very reasonable price, when I'm done repairing it, so….

I'm sitting in the waiting room of UAB pain center waiting for my sister to get done with her appointment. We will eat lunch in the cafeteria and then return to the pain center for blood work. Hi Gary 👋.

Scrapped a tube type stereo record player and I'm going to use the amplifier out of it to make a guitar amp. I plan to turn the turntable part into a standalone turntable. It's got a record changer on it. 16-33 RPMs too like most older turntables

Well I gave the girl my # and she gave me hers. I called her once the next day. She still hasn't called me back. I haven't lost any sleep over it. There's millions of fish in the sea and I've gone without for most of my life so no biggie.
