It's Alive!

Busy busy! Friday, yesterday, after work I went to the Dr and got some antibiotics for my cough, and some powerful meds to kill the symptoms while the germ killers did their business. Nice antibiotic, too; just 5 days of dosing.

While I'm removing the unwanted life from my lungs, I mixed up two more three-gallon cider batches (another ginger, and a cherry to replace the one that never took hold) and pitched yeast to those. Now I have the original ginger in secondary bubbling it's little heart out (I swapped bubblers today and found the cork was loose) and the two primaries glugging away happily.

Ahhhh, the pitter patter of little feet.

Oh, no, that's the cats fighting. Anyway.

This morning was day one (videos and lectures, freezing our butts off) of the 15-week art welding class. It will be fun! Though it only covers oxy-gas welding (I had hoped for a bit more exotic, but hey) it will give me a chance to play and relearn my fundamentals.

After that, a quick bite to eat (I was dying!) and then off to Richard's to play games. Primodial Soup (Urrsuppe, in the German) is FUN! fun fun fun. Well, I won, so I'm biased.

And now night.

Tomorrow -- Lowes and the Despot, metal plumbing parts, and I build a flamethrower and some fire pillars. Maybe.

The flamethrower, while a BAD IDEA, I'm sure, is for a show where he was going to try an even worse idea -- fire starter in a super soaker. Egads, YouTube is inspiring all the wrong ideas, I swear.

Propane has _got_ to be safer than that.
