37F @ 81% RH, partially cloudy with showers and predicted to reach 54F.

26 rounds fired into one car without hitting the driver............ Gun control in my generation meant hitting your target.

German Shepherds are all season dogs, so ours donate copious quantities of fur each year to the nesting birds and squirrels. You can leave a dog sizes pile of hair one day and replicate it the next without the pup getting any smaller, but each hair comes with bushels of love and devotion, so I see it as a gift.

Hee, hee, hee, Extract Crafts direct Canadian competitor MedXtractor read my writeup on the EtOH Pro and are sending me their competitive machine to run like I stole it as a test. Let the joy and amazement begin!

My Drierite didn't arrive after yet another day, so that experiment is still hanging.
 
GW You get to keep them after testing?

I get to keep these two systems as long as I need for testing and run them like I stole them, but alas I promised to send them back what's left after testing at their expense. We sent the first EtOH Pro that Eloquentsolution beta tested for us at SPR back about 2017.

We've had equipment donated for testing, which we donated to Pay It Forward cannabis forum after testing, for their lotteries.

Besides my article, I also give the manufacturers feedback and suggestions that I don't share with my readers and I've tested equipment that I didn't write an article on because I agreed not to if it was negative.

I did end up with the Turbo in a round about way though. After beta testing we donated it and a couple years later I asked to borrow it for an experiment and was told that it was broken and I could have it.

The disfunction was that the threaded aluminum slug on the bottom of the crucible had come off, so I JB welded it back on for my experiment and sent Extract Craft an email telling them about the failure and my fix. Their response was to replace the whole unit with their final version, which included a solid crucible.

Well I seen the way you review products and they should be paying you let alone keep the test items.
But it all works out in the end,
Karma..........................................
Thank You for response, I wish I was still good with my words but the brain injury has made it worse , had to relearn my name and all.
Enough about That
Kepp up all the good you do, do.

I test to promote the Graywolf's Liar site to readership and to get to play with the toys.

In this last case, I used material that I needed a means to extract which was still legal for me at home, so it was a double win for me. Like using a borrowed car for a trip for the cost of the gas and then writing an article about it.

You're welcome!

You are still getting your point across. How did you hurt your head bone?

Long story but lets say they could not get the lead out,

The good news is that you are lucky you can speak and type brother. My fencing maestro stroked on the left side and couldn't speak or compose a typed message.

When he couldn't speak, I brought him a portable typewriter and his eyes lit up, but when he tried to type he drew a blank. He was an English Lit major and author of Complete Fencing, as well as a proficient touch typist before the stoke.

I made a living charming folks into signing capital equipment requests with my written word and still screw sentences up wordsmithing them later and losing track, reversing the order of words, or literally typing one thing while thinking another. Never to forget typing is controlled by the subconscious and not what is going through your conscious mind.

Tat -- I think I might have mentioned this, but it is funny enough to repeat. As a writer, I touch type.

I was writing my novel, The Cadet, and I started to type the word "agurgling" in a sentence, I stopped after four letters because I realized that word sounded like something from Gilbert and Sullivan.

I looked down from the ceiling to the monitor, and found that my hands were shifted one key to the right on the "home row".

"agur" came out "****"
 
Afternoon Misfits. Windy as all get out here. Cold front approaching and wind is leading the charge. Just got back from the coin shop and pulled the trigger on 3lbs of junk silver. All .50cent pieces. All Kennedy. If the fools send another free money check....I will buy more.

I need to get my arize down and check out my fishing equipment. I promised my SIL we would go up and search for spawning Rainbows this weekend. Need to tie on new leader and tippet, clean the rod guides and do an equipment check. Have plenty of flies as i have been tying off and on all winter. Another year of fun in the sun.

This is what we will be going after.

Thank You Gray Wolf , I am ok now , it was a small splitner of the lead object that struck my skull and and only that part went in.
I was knocked out in coma for a while (med induced) so I never felt it (brain feels no pain) so just the outside damage
That hurt and itched like soot.
The doc said I will be fine as long as it does not move again.

Sumbody mentioned the "cat lady" to me. Looked it up. OMIGAWD.

This woman could cause erectile dysfunction in rebar:

"Jocelyn Wildenstein is a New York City socialite known for extensive facial surgeries, her divorce from Alec Wildenstein in 1999, and her extravagant life - she once calculated her yearly telephone bill at $60,000 and food and wine costs at $547,000."

I can only imagine how hard it would be for a billionaire socialite as gorgeous as she started out, to casually give up her youthful appearance and mature gracefully. I wonder what she looks like in her own minds eye or the mirror?

I've heard said that all cats are grey in the dark brother. It's waking up next to them in the light that causes erectile disfunction and sometimes cardiac arrest.

33F @ 84% RH, double gaugus clear day, and predicted to reach 55F.

Wal, my Drierite arrived, so I carefully calculated that 20mL of 190 proof would contain 5% water or about 1mL.

As Drierite absorbs 5% its weight in water, 1/0.05 = 20mG Drierite. Everything working slick so far!

I poured the Drierite in the alcohol and left the hydrometer in place, but after the Drierite turned pink the hydrometer hadn't budged, so I added another 20mG, only to watch the hydrometer hold steady at about 189 proof and the solution turn pink.

At that point I ended the experiment and vacuum filtered the solution using a #1 lab filter, only to discover the pink color remained, soooo I vacuum distilled the 20mL pink solution to return to a neutral starting point.

Suffice to say that the chemist suggesting the process appears to have never used it or I misspelled the experiment.

Soooo, five runs in the vacuum still got me from 40% Hood River vodka to 94.5% ethanol for processing. I have some mol sieve that I'll bake out and try next.
