2020 has been sweet. Got a nice long break from work during the summer, and if things go to **** again with a second spike, I'll get another nice long break over winter.

Turns out, it wasn't a good idea to go to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day this year.

Upon getting back, worked from home for a few months. Realized the only reason I was still working was for health insurance (lolUSA#n), and could afford to buy it privately, so retired in June.

Went on a long trip, mostly camping. Visited my hometown. Truck broke down once in BFE, but got it into a shop and fixed.

Since then, been doing a lot of yard work around the house.

So, overall, up and down, but ultimately getting through w/o damage so far.

Morph isn't fat.

My brother in law is making Carolina Reaper/Habanero (90% carolina reaper) salsa in the kitchen. I feel like I'm being maced.

I'm making my second batch of mango wine. The first came out with 8% abv but it tastes like pickles (acetic acid). The second batch will be covered from frothing to fermentation, and I got a distillation setup online, so I can turn that pickle flavored first batch into mango brandy.

Basically I've been drunk the whole time

My oak barrel should be in this week. I don't think I could feel any more like an old-timey alchemist

So that's about it for my blog on fermentation/distillation. Thank you for watching my ted talk.
