Can't say I've got a worst spot. I've got places I don't go to anymore, but those aren't spots. I hit a local park lake a lot, but I don't really expect much. I go there because it's convenient and it's a pretty lake.

So, it's been a few hours. How are the innards doing, BH? I gave it a half-hearted 45 minutes this afternoon. My results reflect my effort.

Neither.

the rest

Everything past Chief's first 5 are wrong

Gauge? Age?

So true, Terrierman. I posted something similar in one of the morel threads. Put in the time, at the right time and you'll find them. If you spend all your time looking for the ideal spot you won't have enough time left for walking and looking at the ground.

Ha! Let me get out there this weekend and see how I do on my own first. Got a three-day weekend ahead.

Wow!

What's the season for these?

LOL -- been there. If there's any yeast and sugar left, and you can get fermentation. You've got to let it ferment all the way out and clear, (or use heat, chemicals) before you bottle/seal it or you risk that. If you added sugar to sweeten it up, you probably woke up some yeast and restarted fermentation. Mine's going to be bottled in heavy wire-bale bottles, like below, but also pasteurized when it's at the right carbonation level to shut things down permanently.

One week in and the activity has slowed to a crawl. The yeast and the natural cider sediment are falling out.

Nice! I think I'm gonna do those Cubanelles next year. They always look so good on here. I also notice the old-vine Lodi,CA Zinfandel in the background. Haven't had that particular brand, but just drank one -- Oak Ridge OZV -- last week and it was outstanding. I'm usually not much for big red wines, but they were giving away samples so I gave it a try and ended up buying a bottle.

That's what I meant when I said blech.

Is she even old enough to drive in that picture? Granted, that's a pretty girl right there. I just can't help but think where that all went.

Well JoeD, I underestimated you bro. I just figured it was alcohol.

LOL. I don't think Pamela Anderson was ever young young. Blech.

Suh-weet!!!

I love Hogan's Heroes -- always have. Gilligan's Island is so stupid it's funny.

I think we lost her

Sorry if this is off topic, but I just had to share this somewhere and this seemed as good as anyplace. I always considered myself a Mary Ann guy -- Ginger just never did it for me. So, last night I'm watching Gilligan's Island on TV Land and somehow Mary Ann gets hypnotized and thinks she's Ginger -- she even starts wearing Ginger's clothes. Now I'm gonna have to rethink things! There's a third, even better choice! Oh, and then the Professor tries to hypnotize her back to Mary Ann, and Gilligan's watching and guess what?? He ends up thinking he's Mary Ann! Oh man, my gut still hurts from all the laughing. They sure don't make 'em like that anymore!
