Just like making a broth. Throw everything in and let it cook, pull it all out, cool and let it ferment for a few weeks. Not sure I would do it with beef broth but yeah. Very similar concepts

Technically I cooked this but it is my 2017 Christmas Stout. Pulled it out of the basement and chilled it down. Excellent. You can clearly taste the ginger, orange, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bright and clean

Crazy and even with the crowds not a single person was rude or left trash. They even stayed out of the fields in the area I was in.

A lot less mud today even with .7 rain yesterday. Great day to burn a stick, listen to some tunes and mow

Caught it in Continental OH this morning. Estimated to be 7500 people who dropped by to see it. Further East in Fostoria they estimated 20,000 were out to see it. It will be heading back July 15. I’m gonna head up and see if I can’t get some better shots

Headed up to Continental OH this morning to catch the UP Big Boy on its way east. Hell of a machine. Got my good side with my Grandson checking her out.

Herbs are exploding. Time for some grilled chicken rubbed with fresh herbs, garden salad and sourdough focaccia drizzled with a fresh chimichurri (not pictured because I ate it too fast).

Power washed the mmm on the B1700. Too much mud after the last 2 weeks trying to mow. Wife will never be able to tell where I did it!

Finally got around to installing the suspension seat on the B3200. Ordered it back in November. Thanks to 3.5” of rain, not much else could be done. Easy removal, two pins, and four bolts and the seat is off. Had to remove the safety switches for the seat and PTO. New base required some new...

What I did off my Orange today. I ordered a replacement seatbelt for the B1700. Easy off easy and on. Decided to do a porter mortem on the original and this is what I found. Dirt had piled up in the mechanism preventing it from being pushed in far enough to unlatch. Used a pick and an air hose...

A few more photos of the lift. It can be mounted to the floor if needed. I like being able to move it if needed and I wasn’t able to get any movement when shaking the truck. The center poles act like a cam. Raise it up around 8 inches and attach the wheels. When you lower it down it lifts the...

Ordered it off Northern Tools it is a Katool 7000 lb scissor lift. I believe the height is 39” at full height. Great for doing brakes and any of the fluids. Center is clear to walk or work under. 120v/30A. You can permanently attach to the floor or attach wheels and move it (not easily) when...

Not sure why I waited so long but I got a scissor lift and used it for the first time to do a tire rotation and oil change. My back is thanking me. Rated to 7000lbs

Boy talk about making a post and ignoring it. I am planning on putting a couple 2x2 cleats to hold the tank in the center and adding some eye hooks to wratchet strap it down when transporting for fuel. When it is on the barn floor, straps would be off. Still working my 30 gal Arksen tank to...

I stayed with my tool of choice and got a Ryobi grease gun. I put the Locn N lube end on it and it works great for getting not only my FEL but all the MMM zerks. I also have five manual grease guns.
