Tuesday night – Gnawing

Somethings gnawing at all of us. Everyone under the same existential stress due to the world situation. I’m finding it’s making me shorter with people at work and less resilient To criticism

… No one’s trying to give me a hard time…… It’s just that they’re under the same stressors that I am. I think it’s pretty interesting because when you start to think like that you start to understand peoples reaction and (hopefully) you’re able to not overreact to their overreaction.

That’s the theory at least… I’m going to try operating that way tomorrow and see how it goes

For now I’ll just keep gnawing

Nite all, nite sam

Woke this

Morning to wonderful smells. Diane backed an amazing lemon and anise Easter bread

That prepared me for the second fragment event of the day. While cleaning the ‘old lab’ yesterday I came across a 2 gallon jug of sake that gave and I made in July of 2018

I was going to pour it out and was a little nervous about taking off the airlock. I worried what it smelled like . Imagine my surprise when I pried off the cork and took a big whiff . And guess what?!

It smelled like sake !

I siphoned it out to get road of the yeast and rice sediment, g

Cleaned out the carboy.. and siphoned the Jouve back in. I took a large gulp of it both times I siphoned .. and it was delicious.. I put it away a bit to age a little more

Month before we can really plant as it still freezes at night and our soul is still frozen about a foot down.. but it’s a great time to be getting ready 🙂

Saturday night – open spaces

Spent a quiet day here… I was very glad to be able to get outside and go for about a 5 mile run. Explore the new part of Long Trail which parallels Duxbury Road. It goes across some Farm animal areas which are protected by electric fences.… I’ve been here a couple of times… But the new trail direction took me through the woods… I was running along listening to the radio when I got clotheslined by one of the electric fences. Luckily it was off

I came out near the catamount trail… The parking lot was absolutely full.… Not so sure about the social distancing there

Ran back and took the dogs out in the field where no one else was. I’m enjoying being away from people sometimes
