  1. This batch One downside about this batch- I didn't realize I needed to do one last filtering on it and I have sludge in about half the bottles, I am going to need to fix that soon.
  2. This batch ended up with 3/4 of a gallon Will need to clean up today.
  3. With a help of some great friends and a lot of wine, we cranked out 3 quarts of maple syrup.
  4. Brisket is done. Sap is still boiling. I have some of it on the stove now since it needs the boil off. This is going to boil down to around a 1/3 of this I would guess. We shouldn’t get a full gallon today.
  5. That smoker was a side of the road find. Driving up one weekend my wife spotted it on the side of the road. It took some work, but I got it in the truck, by myself. most of these new englanders don’t know how to use an offset smoker. I’ve gotten 2 off the side of the road and both were clearly used as grills.
  6. Week 2 production has started. With meat in the background.

  11. Yeah, sorry to disappoint - it appears that most of these are not outside of Mass https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/le+solare+montepulciano+d+abruzz+italy/1/usa-tx-y
  12. Anyone need a new computer? https://www.apple.com/mac/lumon-terminal-pro/
  13. I like and repsect Liverpool because you are the only team that doesn't have ONLY shithead fans on Surly. But no.

  15. Man, we gotta wait a week until the next Spurs match? UGH And it's at Chelsea.
  16. The satire aspect is really unknown the more I read. Leaning toward not.
  17. Because I fully agree with this video. A Knight's Tale is a guilty pleasure of mine
  18. I wish I could tell you. One thing about my Boston selections - I have a lot of local importers. So that might not be. This is where I get them. La Salare - https://bermansfinewines.com/shop/product/le-salare-montepulciano-dabruzzo-collemorino/5b6306f98f58763a2f3cff01?option-id=e1624d8a5d564fb8b6bb04c0caba891a19c837f745e63eb4e02b645907ba5fd7 Dipinti - https://bermansfinewines.com/shop/product/dipinti-chardonnay-vigneti-delle-dolomiti/5858564d39e21c3fb6d12318?option-id=b13cc2a78f4cce9ccce8053ba2a58b192b7da3c2c06c0fa0ced1ded97eb61739 The other two are there too. Another one I love, is this one Chateau de Flaugergues. It’s very vintage specific, their 2012-2014 were amazing and paired with anything their 2015-2016 were meh. Since it’s rebounded, but not as good an my first vintages https://bermansfinewines.com/shop/product/chateau-de-flaugergues-cuvee-sommeliere/5bea3f1c20c8ba6106434621?option-id=87584b0ed87f2d00109c4d65e2cea0d4db791f2363d1778b36597a86074c3bc2
  19. Posted, not posted - here, have this. We truly are in the dumbest timeline. BTW - totally satire, but as dumb as our timeline is - you almost can't know.
  20. So we generally have a house white & red that we keep on hand by the case (or 2) just as daily drinkers. Our white is thus: Dipinti Chardonnay - $15 a bottle. Red La Salare Montepulciano - $9 - great for the price. the red is about to be replaced only because 20+ cases later we need something new. The candidates that remain Cherchi Midi - $13 Notre Dame Des Pallieres Cotes du Rhone - $13 Very good wine doesn’t have to cost a fortune. You just need to drink a lot to find it.

  22. I would love for Poch to stick around post 2026, but I don't think he will. This was just for the World Cup and that's it. It really shows the short-sightedness of the decision to bring back Gregg, just like Bradley in 2010 and Klinsmann in 2014. It risks putting the team back should the coach fail mid-cycle. I think we got really lucky with Bradley flaming out a year later. But Klinsmann really put us behind the 8-ball to the point we missed out in 2018. Now Gregg ... Given the small windows of opportunities the national team coach has with the team - you need to maximized the amount of time these guys get. We should have brought in new blood after 2022. I will say this - some of the decisions of this window really do raise some concerns about Poch as a national team coach. Does he have the chops for it? While coaching is coaching, there is a difference between national team coach and a club coach. Some can do both, some can't. Many said Klinsmann wasn't a club coach, but a great national team coach. Someone online questioned if Poch is doing a lot of the right work as an NT coach. Does he call teams for status? I know Wright just came back from injury, but he played 4 games before this window - two full games, one of which he scored a hat trick! His call ups on injury?
  23. 5W-20, 5W-21, whatever it takes.
