Island Of Misfits

[joeb631a]

Wrestled the rotovator onto the back of the Kubota. Took me and the Old Hen both, and it wasn't easy. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the easiest, the implement installation and removal would be;
1) Backhoe
2) Front end loader
3) Mower deck
4,5,6,7,8) Anything that hooks onto the three point hitch.
10) That damned rotovator. PITA.

You need to tell The Old Hen she needs to start working out Brother ....preferably at a safe distance.....

I do have a still, but alcohol is so cheap I just let it go. Many "lab" fires are from reclamation efforts, usually mis use of ether. Even with ether back in the day, and as hard as it was to get lab grade ether (metal can like brake fluid came in) I still let it go to the sky. Plus, my efforts are small, for my own use.In the day with ether, i still did an alcohol extraction first. Much less than trying to extract the weed with ether! That, and you would need a whole new setup....the little Isomerizer was never ever ever intended to use anything but alcohol, NOT ether! That would be a disaster. Ether fumes are more explosive the gasoline, which is insanely bad.

What proof alcohol have you been able to obtain? any 190?

Anyone heard from boo today? I know he went on a trip but not when he was coming back. He wasn’t feeling well before the trip.

I've made a couple of stills for use recovering ethanol after extraction. The first one was a simple one using an asparagus steamer in a fondue pot for the boiler and a copper coil in a salad bowl full of ice water for the condenser.

The second was a vacuum assisted refluxing still, that will also produce 190 proof from scratch.

Without the full reflux setup, 170ish if the up pipe is stuffed with copper. I have a bunch thats from 160 range I will run through with the full reflux tower. I think 190 will happen when that stuff is re done.

A jewel, but part of the baggage that comes with marrying an engineer. Those two are but a small part of all the equipment that I've built and operated here at home.

Besides the stuff I ran in the kitchen or back courtyard, I operated WolfWurx, Inc assembly operation out of our garage.......................

I’ll bet look at all that stuff Wow. you are like Johann Dippel. Do you have a secret laboratory in your garage?

 

[pute]

Good night.

 

[Hippie420]

Damn back is mad at me. I've got spots that are hurting that normally don't. Guess I'm gettin' too old to wrestle that far outta my weight class. Damn rotovator weighs over 700 pounds. Feels like you're pushing a full dresser Harley with a flat tire.

Speaking of flat tires, the Old Hen managed to get one on her Trail Blazer. Gotta wrestle that bastard off tomorrow morning and take it somewhere to either get patched or replaced. She's got less than 10K on the blasted car.

 

[Hippie420]

Good night Islanders.

Goodnight Monday is a blink away!

Good morning brothers and sisters!

Mostly cloudy here starting at 50C and predicted to reach 66F.

I trimmed back our Quince yesterday, to give one of the tomatoes more sunlight and added 10' central stakes for them to climb, in addition to their cages. Looking happy and healthy so far and continuing to sprout new blossoms.

Dropping the Jeep off for a tune-up this morning. After noting where they hid the distributor, I decided to do myself a favor and pay to have someone less crippled up and with more of a sense of humor to do the work.

I'm pleased with the new samples of sugar wax dropped off for me to sample. Well done Pharmex!
