If people are interested in the shirt, my friend will allow us to purchase the design through her established cafe press store. We can get plain white shirts a little cheaper that way than if I set up a store. You'll be able to order in any size I think. I'll talk with her on Tuesday and verify and get more info... and pricing. I have a different shirt from her store that I drew and have had it for years so I know the quality is there.

More on this next week!
Raz, congratulation on being appointed to the board,

The yard is more dandelions than grass! But I like it that way!



Because it means I can gather the flowers! Today I gathered two lbs today!

Dandelion wine?

Seems lots of folks have dandilion whine this time of year. I think they are pretty. And the only thing green in my lawn this spring (apart from the other weeds), since my grass was apparently decimated by grubs. So I am not complaining about them!

Yep! Planning on making a dandelion mead, since I will be using honey rather than refined sugar. A good mead takes a long time to work its magic. I am willing to wait, though, it should be worth it.

Nice. I made some last year and pulled it out last month to taste. It's very high test, almost too much for me to drink. It will take me another year to sip the gallon I made.

Indeed. I have 2 carboys of mead fermenting, the grape-mead is 12 years and the maple-mead stands at about 8. I should think about bottling them.

My segment of the show starts at 30:34.
The actual interview lasted for over an hour but like all media, edits are to be expected. I think it turned out pretty well. These guys had done quite a bit of research before hand.
