I've ran across those things or something similar in the strangest of places. Years back a friend and I were hiking in some forest area at the base of Mt Hood. We stopped at this rocky outcropping to have lunch. Someone had carved "Watch Out Ants" on the face of some of the rock. We couldn't figure out what it meant and sat down to eat. A few minutes go by and these ginormous ants start crawling out of the cracks and they were mean. It was like they were attacking us. We got the hell out of there.

Later I did some googling and came across some guys blog where he had also hiked the same location and talked about the ants. I tried to find the blog but it was years ago and is apparently gone now. It was the weirdest thing to find these where we were at.

Southern fire ants are tiny. They are dead ringers for the Western “sugar” (Argentine) ant. The workers are 1/8 inch long. The soldiers are massively larger at 1/4 inch.

Paulie has brought them to bed by the dozen. When I wasn’t paying attention, every-last-one found a thin-skinned bit of me and went to work.

Two weeks of finding out that my hoard* of steroid ointment had expired.

Well, the vacuum chamber didn't implode. At 2 hours there were still a few bubbles in my distillate so I let it go another half hour, and then it was completely flat and calmed. I warmed it up enough to put some in a cartridge, and it is a 110% improvement, but there's still a hint of alcohol taste. However this batch was on the heat for hours and hours trying to cook the alcohol out so it's probably infused in there but good!

It gives me hope that with a fresh batch it will be better. I should be able to do a gentler distillation too. I have that precision Buchi water bath I can use next....for better heat control.

Gaining...I knew this wasn't going to be easy!
