50+ thread

Morning...well I guess Good Afternoon is in order. Feeling lazy today, but I will have to push through it as I’ve got plenty to do. @dewayne I am blaming you for one of the projects I have to do today...you have a similar version of the tile my wife wanted as a backsplash in the kitchenette downstairs. I’ve been sitting on this project for a while...guess I should just get it done. Hope mine turns out as nice as yours. Stay Well...Stay Safe

 

Always glad to help an ole buddy out!! lol..I like the tiles you have. bet they will look good. shoot us a pic when you get them done.

 

I’m beat. I worked on 11 cars today. I’m too old for this shit.

 

I though you were supposed to do 12?

@Tacoma Mike, I got this one for you!

 

One car needed extra work.
Sorry. I had to do my job right

 

OK 50+. im not afraid to say when i know nothing about something. were at my MIL’s to eat for superbowl cause it calls for snow storm tommorow. my FIL pasted almost 3yrs ago. we watched it every year for 35yrs since i dated my wife. he didnt drink so we steamed good Texas brownie shrimp every year. we still go to help MIL deal with a day that brings memories to her like his birthday.,,anyway i put light bulbs in the cellar and found wine he had made. its from 94. question is would it still be good ?she doesnt drink told me to take it all. i got 2 bottles.does homemade wine stay good that long ?

 

'94 was a premium year for wines. You might have some bottles of vintage that could be worth... oh... two bucks or so. (wink)

 

THANKS,,its been in a cool dark cellar. he left an unfinished room in the basement with dirt floor and all. ill try it. all the bottles were corked tight, laying on their side

 

When we were going my moms house after she died we found some wine my dad made back in the mid 70s. Some bottles still had good seals. We did open one and tried it. Well, it took your breath away.
I still have one bottle.

 

Crap shoot.

Stored in a cool dark place and the cork is still wet, should be good.

Open one, taste.

 

Donkeywell?

 

I don’t know much either, but I do have a friend who makes his own. I texted him and he said that there is three main factors in preservation. First is how well the bottle was sterilized before the wine went into it. The second has to do with adding sulfites to stop the fermentation process and kill the remaining yeast. Finally sealing the bottle is critical so no oxygen gets in to promote bacteria. As others have said storing it in a cool dry place is good. He said that you can smell a bad wine. He also said check the cork for any seepage. Hope that helps. If you need more info let me know and I will shoot him a text.

 

That’s encouraging news.

 

they were stored laying on their side so cork should be wet ,ill try one
