Good mawning! Merry Father's (& muther's) days.

60F @ 80% RH, 5 mph wind, and predicted to reach 94F.

I miscounted steps and stepped off one too soon in the basement, proving yet again that the Tattered Old Graywolf still bounces on concrete.

I finished plumbing in the new condenser coil and made two runs with 190 proof to flush it out. It works well, but doesn't self drain well, so I have to blow it down to clear it. I may replace the 1/2" coil with a 1/4" coil to force it drain with back pressure.

The last batch has quit bubbling, so today I will start stripping the wash.
 
I asked a simple fking question. A simple no would have been fine. The guy is a great Governor and I wouldn't give two shits what side of the isle he is on or who backed him.
That there, my good friend, is a prime example of how ONE teeny-tiny, "innocuous" but...
POLITICAL question can imitate a single lit cigarette thrown out the window of a passing car into a pine forest.

We're all refugees here from sincere people going at each other without let.

If it makes you feel better, there is an un-named individual I would vote for President if he ever chooses to run.

But... [Old Lodgeskins ON] "We will not talk of that unfortunate time..." [/O.L. OFF]
 
Very true Unca Walt. It's sad we can't have an adult conversation without getting petty. I figured since he has such a high number of ppl in his State that likes what he is doing that someone living there wouldnt answer me like that. I should have known better.
Oh well, can't win them all.
 
67F @ 65% RH, gaugus and predicted to reach 98F.

Two fathers day gift certificates and a call. Hope ya'll fathers and muthers enjoyed our day!

Another shooting death, probably gang related, and an unprovoked stabbing of a stranger in the back.

I stripped two gallon of sugar wash yesterday using the EtOH Pro and yielded about a half gallon of 130 proof. I'll strip the balance today.

I also plan to run another 190 proof wash through my new still to clean out the new coil. I've run two runs of 190 proof through it so far and the ethanol is still not crystal clear. I was hoping to use for this batch, but not until it is pristine.

I picked up a Storz & Bickel Mighty vaporizer to try vaping herb for a change. A nice piece!
 
Them damn' UFO's.

I saw one!!

I have some compression and support advice if you need it. Yeah, you are kind of screwed when fluid buildup occurs. You can't drain that at home. How is your arm wrapped and supported, if I may ask? Could you post a pic? Only if you are comfortable to do so.....
Thanks. I'm OK with the elbow now. I put an elastic bandage on it for a day. My hand is slowly improving. I'm glad I had it treated although at the time the pain was incredible. My wife was there and she said it looked and sounded as if I was about to give birth. Good value for $50. I suppose I need to stop pretending I am 23 y.o.
 
66F @ 67% RH, gorgeous, and predicted to reach 86F.

Finishing the fermented sugar wash this morning. Yesterday I extracted a gallon of 130 proof using the EtOH Pro and should get another 1500 ml.

I also cut the refrigeration hose I was using on my test sled apart to inspect the liner and discovered deterioration, so I replaced it with a stainless jacketed PTFE hose and ran another cleaning run. Voile, the next wash came out perfectly clear. Alas, my pot is no longer holding full vacuum, so I am looking for a better unit than the modified pressure cooker I'm using.

I have an 8:00AM appoint with my new orthopedic surgeon to figure out what is suddenly preventing my left knee from extending all the way and another appointment tomorrow with my GP for an exam to renew my medications.

IMO, since I've had all kindsa knee sturgeons, you gots a chunk of busted loose cartilage that stops movement. Had it in both knees my own self.

Useta be -- back in the Olden Days of my youth, they had to expose everything with a huge incision to pluck out the offending piece of junk. Nowadays, they can do it with 90% less pain.
