Back to School - "7 thing's yall don't know about me"

Hey Everybody...... It is back to school for us. I am going to try and use this existing Blog if the School or teacher will allow it. My first ASSignment in my CIT class is like an intro getting to know you. "7 things you don't know about me". Well this blog tell a lot of thing about me, but I must elaborate even, so I can attempt to receive credit for this.

You guy's probably do not know:

1.) I am a Movie buff. I love movie most movie. The movies I totally dig that would shed some Character reference about me would be: The Big Lebowski, Apocalypse Now Redux, All Robb Zombie Films, Cohen Brothers movies, some Gus Van Saint stuff. Heck!! I can go on and on, I think you all get the picture.


2.) My 1 year old daughter is growing and learning so fast , that I am extremely proud of her. Soon she will be walking and cruising around, That would be a cool day. I may pull out the Digital Camera and get some Film of her. I already have Baby pic's to show her boyfriends to embarrass her or Scare the boy silly.

3.) I just started getting into S.F.Giants Baseball. My wife got me into it. I was married to here for over 4 years and but lived together for like ten before we got married. I didn't know She was a Sports Fan.On my Daughter 1st birthday we will be in Frisco and seeing the Giants crush the Rockies.

4.) Zygurmy. The Art of Brewing Beer and make fine Wine. I am a Brew Master. I just recently got into making wine. I have never been a big wine drinker, but I am spreading my knowledge base so I can go back and make even better Award Winning Beer.

5.) I am a Real Red Head, both upstairs and down stairs.

6.) I love the cold. I hate the heat. "My blood has always been to think, for Nevada !!!"
Okay please respond to this post and tell me who you think said this line and what movie was it in. HINT: Gonzo journalism.

7.) Music................ Oh! yeah Baby!!!!! I own about 4,000 or more CD's. I am a master of Name that tune. I listen to it all except country. My wife Digs the Country so I leave her that Knowledge Base to own.

Cheesy Attempt at Cheese Making

Tonight I tried my first attempt at making cheese. I got a kit at our local homebrew store to use. I followed the instructions and tried to make cheddar cheese. I got weird smelling white liquid that went down the drain when I tried to drain it. No curds, no whey. I don't know what I did wrong. The temperatures did get funky on me, so that's probably what happened. Maybe cheese is alot more temperature sensitive than beer and wine. Beer has a range for fermentation and brewing, cheese has a number you have to keep it at. Maybe I'll try a different cheese type tomorrow. It sucks that it didn't work, but practice makes perfect, right?

Hot August Bottle Aged Night Grapes

It's been awhile since we posted. We've been busy with the baby, a new grape crop that is growing on our property and just living life. The baby finally got her two bottom teeth in, after 6 months of teething. We have some nice old grape vines growing on our property. The wood looks like it is at least 12 years old, but we've heard the vines peak out and that they may be 20 years or more old. Out of the last 6 years we've lived here, this is only the second year that the grapes look like we can harvest any. I took some time to figure out a watering schedule and prune them so they are coming in very nice this year. I hope to be able to make a delicious wine out of them.

The beer my wife made, which we named Clara Belle Ale, has been bottle aging for 3 months. It should be perfect for our baby's first birthday party (for the grown ups, not her). It's hard to believe my baby girl is almost one! (let alone that I have a kid...) She has been a great inspiration and installment to my life. She makes the wine even sweeter. I love watching her learn and discover new things, it's almost like she's human, lol.

Here are the pictures of the August grapes that should be ready to harvest in September.
