ice... what a wonderful thing

Wow, i forgot how nice it was to actually have ice in the house. Our ice trays were never used because we could never get to them in the old freezer. Now that we have ice on the door it's a wonderful thing indeed. :)

caller id with name on cell phones

The last few weeks or so i have been noticing that some numbers now come up with a name when calling my cell phone. This is for numbers that are not on my phone book. I'm on AT&T so I don't know if it's everyone or not, but it is looking quite promising and about time too.

The Longest Password!

We laugh -- but her I.D. is safe.  
During a recent password audit by Microsoft & Google, 
it was found that a blonde was using the following password: 

"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"
 

When asked why she had such a long password, she said
she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters
long and include at least one capital.

khana shelves

I thought I'd share the shelves I just made for the ger. These hang off of the khana itself and can be placed anywhere in a ger. I've tested these with 40lb on them and they hold easily. The best part is they pack completely flat. For my test I used some press board shelves from an old desk I'm getting rid of. Any more I make once i run out of these shelves I'll use pine since it's lighter. I used 2 L shaped hooks to grab the khana, cut two slots to hold the rope (so they can be removed for storage) and that's it.

fermenting fruit...

I so love the smell of fermenting fruit. I don't know why, but I just do. Every time I walk into the basement and get a whiff of the strawberries and bananas I love it.

Strawberries

Yesterday I decided I needed to start more wine so I headed to costco to see what looked good in fruit. I spotted a huge pallet of ripe strawberries so I knew what I had to do. I bought 40lb (10 4lb flats) of strawberries and 18lb of bananas. 32lb of the strawberries went into the 10 gallon bucket (should yield about 8 gallons) and 4lb went in with 15lb of the bananas in the 7 gallon bucket (should yield 4-5 gallons). The rest was for the family to consume. We had strawberries on pound cake with whipped cream for dessert last night. yum!
