The City.....

Ok.  Lets see here....

I kinda like my city...  Except for all the Drugs floating around.  Weed and Pills is basically a Dime a Dozen in this City.  It's not a very big City but it's a Small City.

One of my members of my Perennial Group on Facebook was talking at the last meeting.  The city sent her a Letter stating that she had within 10 days to Demolish her Childhood home.  They found it unfit to live in and a health hazzard..  It also stated that if it was not, then she could be fined up to if not more then $5,000 dollars.

I also mentioned that, this REALLY Sucks bad.  Loosing a childhood home and or being fined $5,000 Dollars....  And you know what.  I think I fucking Jinx'd my ass when I mentioned that I was buying the house beside me.

Come to find out the Realtor that I'm buying my second house from, Mainly for the yard so I can have a bigger area for my dogs etc., JUST Sent me an email lastnight stating the Same DAMN Thing.

I had 10 days to comply or I would be fined $5,000 Dollars myself for the house being up.  Well I got news for them, I don't have $,5000 dollars to pay and I don't have the cash to have it demolished.

So I've got to make some calls and see what I can do.  They have a place in town called "Build a Better Blackford" Which will take houses down to make the city look and feel like a better place.  They get rid of these Houses that's a Hinderance for Sore eyes..

This house does NEED To come down, it's in bad Shape.  I was Planning on having it done with some friends giving me a Hand so i could save the wood and things in it to help repair my own home and to repair the garage.

It looks Like I won't be able to do that.  But I am going to make some calls and see what I can get done with this.  What a Buzz Kill for todays Adjenda....

Easter!

Well....

It's that time of year again...

Spring has came to visit us again....  We had show that showed up just the other day.  it was down in the 30's...  It happens once in a while...  In early Spring.

Lets hope this Spring will bring more then Flowers.

Boy Scouts had an Event the other day....  They hid around 8000 Plastic Eggs for the Community Kids.  The Scouts just help Hide them but the Kids in the community got to come to the Park called "Sigma Phi Gamma" to Hunt these Eggs.

Below are of some of the kids Hunting the eggs.

Time!

I wonder if it's time to Jump back on that Blog Train?

It's been close to around this time last year that I left the Blogging Scene for a little time off...  Is it time for me to get back into it and Express how I feel about many different things? or Jest let it all go and blow in the wind like dust?

Well, I could say that, yesterday, it wasn't a very good day for me.

Many things happened yesterday.

1. I found that my car had been Egged.  Why?  No clue but I was Pissed about it...

2. I went to deliver a Customer their iPod I just fixed.  Got out to their car and Fell out of my Chair.

3. I went yet again out, to Deliver an iPhone. On my way back I had a Flat and the bead broke on the tire.

4. Looking at the Egg on the car Just pissed me off along with the tire that screwed up.

So my day didn't go very well yesterday.  I did make some money that was the bright side, but I think it was the universe telling me that it wasn't my day to be outside I guess...

So then today, I get up at 4:30, let the dogs out, Snow on the ground what the hell is with that? So this afternoon I go out to Fix my Flat, I can't get the Tire off the Hub.  So now I had to call someone to give me a Hand with getting it off so I can swap out my Spare.

Anyway,  I do believe this may be it for today, maybe for a few days or more, hard to tell, maybe just when I feel like Jumping the Gun...

Blood Clot

Well my old lady got Val last night from ball hospital.

She as complaining about her leg hurting. She called the nurse. She said that she could have a blood clot in her leg. She goes to the ER here in Hartford City. They keep her almost al night then said they didn't have the equipment to do a scan, so they take her to ball.

She calls later that night and confirmed she did have a blood clot. So they been giving her morphin for the leg pain and been giving her hepern to thin the blood down to Brel up the clot. She came home with a pharmacy.

More updates later.

Homebrewing - Part 2 of 2: Big Bottling Day

Ok. we are back for the Second part of the Homebrewing Session.

First off, I'd like to Stress the fact that EVERYTHING Needs to be Clean and Sanatized. Your Bottling Bucket, Your Siphon Tube, Your Quick Fill Tube and your Bottles.

Sanatation is Most important to make sure your beer succeeds in Conditioning and Carbonating.

So with that in mind, Below you will see my 2 Cases of Empty Bottles. All of the bottles was Cleaned using Really Hot water, scrubed with a Bottle Brush, then Dipped in C-Brite Cleaner, the C-Brite cleaner will sanatize on contact, it will not clean, it just sanatizes. So prepare your bottles first.

After your Bottles are Clean and sanatized. Clean and sanatize your Siphoning tube and other equipment you are going to need for Bottling. Below you will see the process of Siphoning the Fermented Beer from the Glass Carboy to the Bottling/Racking bucket.

Next, which should have been your first step after cleaning bottles, but it don't matter as long as you are careful. You take 1 cup of water and 5oz of Dextrose Sugar for Priming your Beer and you disolve the suger in the water, then you bring it to a boil. After you bring it to a Boil, then you let it cool down, Then you start siphoning your beer into the Bottling Bucket. After you got the flow starting, then you add your suger water while the beer is siphoning into the bottling bucket, this will ensure an excellent mix without getting oxygen into the beer. If you forget to add the suger water in while you are siphoning, add it to the beer afterwords and swirl it around lightly around.

After you got your suger in your fermented beer, whatever method you done, before siphoning or after siphoning, you may need a helper, the less the beer is exposed to oxygen the better. If you want to convert all of your Beer to Malt Vinager then you can leave it exposed. But if you want beer, then you might want a little help from someone. Allow them to fill while you Cap, or you fill while they cap. Either way. This is my Lovely Girlfriend that is Giving me a Hand with Filling my Bottles.

After your helper is done filling the bottles, it's your job to cap the bottles off. Unfortunatly I was unable to get a picture of myself Capping the bottles, here is the end result of your hard work and your patience of waiting for your wort to ferment into beer. 2 Cases of Beer, Bottled, Capped and sitting another week or two to condition and carbenate.
