yeah we might just be in for a hot one!!

I'm already thinking, wouldn't a mini split be a nice addition to the gas fireplace !

I need to transplant some clones...but I don't want to lug any soil down there But I will. Probably....Maybe. Sooner or later

Great bike ride...Pretty sure I turned 100 miles on the odometer during todays ride...in shorts and a t-shirt no less. It is balmy out there!! Cooler tomorrow.

Our local PG&E PowerHouse has been down for over 3 weeks, not enough water in the upper res to operate.

Might get expensive too!

My odometer is about to hit 2000 miles...I can’t wait for summer! Longer days = longer rides.

odometer screen looks weird on camera...but normal irl. Probably cause it’s in direct sunlight rn

Almost the equivalent of me riding to Michigan.

A man walks into a pet store and asks for a dozen bees. The clerk carefully counts 13 bees out onto the counter. 'That’s one too many!' says the customer. The clerk replies 'It’s a freebie.'

Try to get a pic of the nest each month as it matures, all sorts of fascinating crap they throw away during housekeeping

Latest photointel suggests disaster at mound 021sp34z.
The perimeter (p.a. range to be published after ongoing discussions of what is zero have generated a result) has been rearranged by operatives of a previously neutral agency. However analysis leaves zero mission-critical doubt that the complex was surrounded and deeply penetrated by a regiment-strength engagement of probable but unconfirmed groups of Quail-class armored cavalry.

The 1st and 9th Division elements suffered massive casualties. The survivors were consolidated into the 127th “Givers of the Bird”.

I prefer to read that as avoiding trolls.

That is awesome!! Knock on wood I haven't had any issues. I oiled things up and looked things over before going out today. Now that I have the brakes adjusted they are fine. I'm usually cruising like 18 mph anyways, but I scoot 30 mph up and down my road so I can get into the town where there's bike lanes and wider roads. You were right... It's a blast and I love it !

I let 2 friends ride it and they both love it. One is going to build one. I might sell him mine and build a 29"

If he’s willing to buy yours, I totally think that’s the right idea. Now that you have a few dozen miles under your belt, you know what you could use or what’s missing, key features you’d like, etc.

Okay chemists, my distilling kit came but I'm not sure which way I should run it for separating ethanol from resins. I can either set it up as a simple distillation setup or I can set it up with a fractional column, which I don't see any benefit too but I'm not a chemist. I'm still waiting on stands.

 

[manfredo]

Then I got this water distiller that is temperature controlled from 58 Celsius to 108 Celsius so you can use it for alcohol or water. I ran 4 l of water through it tonight to rinse it out that took like 4 hours, but I'm going to experiment with this too.

OK, I think I answered my own question...I think I should use the simple distillation, because the fractional column is only for liquids that have a closer boiling point. Is that correct?

Then I am wondering about the condenser. I know I run cold water bottom to top, but can I use cold tap water? I have quite cold well water. Or I have the little vacuum chiller...or a laundry tub I could fill with ice water and circulate with a fish tank pump.

Yeah this was probably the wrong set to buy...I doubt I'll ever use the fractional column.

(UK) One year ours just disapeared stackers we used to call them, we still have them but not like 30 years ago, I thought they had been caught and eaten over the continent.

I would use the column. It’ll greatly reduce carryover of nonvolatiles (droplets) into the distillate.

Cold tap water should work perfectly in the condenser.

Possible 2"-3" snow by Saturday.......

Steatolaunch is in the air! It is going back and forth on a racetrack between over Mojave airport and some locale dozens of miles to my NNE.

Thank you...I'll try it! Waiting on the stand set which has not even been shipped yet

Everything I know about fractional distillation I learned on Moonshiners...
