How I did it: I didn't get too big of a yield this year, I think due to the hot hot weather and drought we had this summer, combined with not doing some things I could have done to make the garden better. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I read everything I could get my eyes on, built a hops trellis, set up irrigation, and just let 'em go. I only got about a 1/4oz. of dried hops from seven Cascade bines. None of the nugget flowered. This was a really really bad year for gardening in my area, due to the extreme heat and extended drought. Also, from what I've read, the first year is spent establishing roots mostly. So now, I'm going to take dow… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used the $75/month that I would be saving as a motivation and cleaned it out all in one weekend, making several trips in the 100F+ degree heat. Now, I have to rearrange the spare bedroom at home to stash the stuff from the storage unit. It's coming along nicely. Read how I did it…
This weekend, I acquired a free chest freezer that someone was giving away on craigslist. The compressor relay is bad, but it still gets cold when you wire the motor directly. I don’t know if I’m going to replace the relay or not. I can just wire it up and hook it up to an external temperature control like I was going to, anyway.
I have a new idea for the next one. I think it’s gonna push its way to the front of the line, too. While cycling to and from work, I get buzzed really close at least once per day. I think the next one is going to be a “Shared Lane Marking” also known as a “Sharrow” right below my left calf. That way, I’ll always have one with me.
I ordered and received the plans and patterns for the Glen-L Eight Ball, an 8’ sail/row/outboard dinghy. I think at first, I’ll set it up to row, just to make sure it actually floats.
