Woke up at 6:45 to an email from my neighbor that was sent at 6:30. 7:00 AM started harvesting slightly over 2 tons of Cab Sauv. Back home by 1:00 PM with four bottles. Showered gonna write some more wine stuff on my cover letter after another tuna sandwich w/pickles, Pepsi, and chips.
Were you harvesting grapes? By hand?
Sorry, I like drinking wine but am unfamiliar with the harvesting process etc...

I did. My neighbor was supposed to have a crew of pickers there, however; it ended up being a family operation because they were busy else where. Then he was in a pinch bc he had his four person family and two college students that usually work in the tasting room. All needed at least 2 tons for a batch, I don't know if he anticipated 5 tons. Anyway, I'm a laid off corn agronomist and I offered to volunteer instead of being on Instagram at home. Yay! I got four bottles made by his wife.

That's interesting, what does a corn agronomist do? Do we have you to blame for the high fructose corn syrup :P

Amen, I was working on the flightline last time it was 110 around here. The hangars faced west, so nowhere to hide, had to use fod bags to touch the black panels on the aircraft, and hide tools under the plane in the shade.
I asked hub why he didn't wear gloves. He rolled his eyes at me, oh well.

Today is my one year anniversary on RIU, it has been a hell of a learning experience. I've gone from 5.2 oz from 3 plants to getting nearly a half pound (7.4 oz) from a single plant, different genetics but still... Thanks @Aeroknow for getting a noob going down the right path. Thanks to @cannabineer and @Singlemalt for the chemistry lessons and suffering through my experiments. Thanks to @curious2garden for bringing this old stoner into the 21st century. Thanks to everyone else (Except for a few trolls) for making me feel welcome here and listening to me bitch and commiserating with me. I don't have many friends I can share my growing with, but I feel I have made many more on this site. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.....zzzzzzzz click.
