It Must Be Jelly, 'Cause Wine Don't Shake Like That.

We went over to our neighbor Ray's place today and picked a buttload of concord grapes.


Hmmmm, wine or jelly?
Ray makes wine, his cherry wine packs a punch and isn't too sweet, but I'm not a big fan of sweet grape wine...and I've never made it before. So, jelly it is, which I have made with Maysel long ago. We washed, mashed, cook and strained the buckets full.


Stained fingers and a few hours work later, we have 8+ quarts of juice.
Tune in later to see how many jars of jelly we get.

We Have A New Pet!!!!

A Lizard!!!


Bisy is getting old...his daily routine has been reduced to begging for food...then finding the warmest place to sleep...a periodic chase of the laser pointer, or a run around the yard like a crazy cat...then it starts all over again.

How Much?

Bike Commuting = Good

You know this to be true, but check this out...my last 3 petrol receipts:
(click on the image to see it larger)

That's around $40 per month...with fill-ups only ONCE per month.
Worth a try?
