    Your not the only one who says it's very slow to load Doc.. It's why I post all the pics as thumbs to keep the load time short but who knows if it's working.. Seems to load as fast as everyone else's when I'm surfing the city pages..

    This thread and Gus' cause me grief. Can only get in them on the app. Now on the app, only a couple pictures load for me to see.
    :angry face:

    Finished off the second run of RSO and combined the 2 runs for a more homogenized round..
    Pulled the bags from the ice chest for the night as the weed is still very damp.. Weighed the bags just for fun and got 5.8 ounces off the Blue Berry and 6 off the Train Wreck.. That'll drop some as things get drier..

    Skippy..
    It wasn't quite that bad although the boat was having an issue that meant we couldn't go up past 3400 RPM so we chugged along at 3k for 4 hours in choppy seas making about 8 knots.. Even my nearly cast iron stomach was no match for the quartering seas we faced.. Nasty damn mid third part of the ride in a top heavy power cruiser.. Once we rounded the island point we had a following sea and a much nicer ride into the ocean side isthmus..

    We walked the half mile or so across the isthmus to Two Harbors and some of us had the local delicacy buffalo milk cocktails and then we started the next part of the days adventure the Island safari bus..
    Didn't snap pics of the 2 tired ford vans we rode in but the islands dirt and tired asphalt had pounded most of the life from them.. Washboard typical desert roads are tough on vehicles at best.. Strict limits on cars on the island with a 20 year waiting list.. Not like you can use one anyhow..

    Leaving Two Harbors we set off in a packed van for Little Harbor a short 20 minutes away..
    Dropped all but one other passenger, swapped vans and set off for the airport and Avalon Harbor..
    Bison, Island Foxes a tiny field of grape vines and a few hours of pounding bad road eventually dropped us back to sea level and the lovely little town of Avalon..
    We picked up the Catalina Island Express for the hour and fifteen minute ride back to the city and used Uber-Lyft to get back to our own Harbor.. All in all a quite pleasant day out and about..

    Pulled the trigger and bought a 3 gallon still online that should get here end of next week and I can start recovering the 151 ever clear alcohol locked up in the half gallon jars of wet weed after I processed out the tincture.. Has to be close to 2 gallons left in the 6 jars and with some care I should get back 190 proof and leave the 25% water behind.. Not like I'm making moonshine from mash.. I paid the taxes on all that very pricy drinking grade liquor and I want it all back dammit..
    This will let me do tincture reductions and not just waste off the alcohol from that step either..
    Wife picked up her new-wave induction cooker and I just had to make sure the still kettle was induction rated..

    Catalina Flying Boats Cargo Co flies a WW2 C47-DC3 back and forth to the island every day and you can hear this ever so distinctive note of the beast whenever it's near.. His next pass was the landing.. If I run around the yard and flap my arms I can get a wing bobble out of him in response.. Never fails to put a smile on my face..

    Fun toys..

    I didn't like wasting all that alcohol on my tinctures either! Can't wait to see what ya got all hooked up and working! How much was it?

    I'm pretty sure once I drop a 12 ton press in the garage my wife will be like, "that's it!! No more weed processing junk!!! lol...

    2/3/5 Gal Water Alcohol Wine Distiller Moonshine Still Stainless Steel Boiler

    We picked the 3 gallon size as it'll fit the nuw-wave induction hotplate best we figured..
    $109.00 out the door with free shipping..
    Edit:: This one didn't take much effort on my part as the end product is going to a couple of the wife's former co-workers on chemotherapy and holding down our costs is always a good thing..
