The Old Folks Home

I old drink a few times a year.
I'm trying different wines trying to find one I like. I would like to have a glass once in a while.
My sister told me a few to try.
I want one a little sweet but not dry.
Or a little fruity and not dry.

Scg the new repair guys may not know anything about your old system. That may be the problem.
Maybe an old repair man would have some experience with it. Just a thought.

Ditto on what chicka said!
The old boiler systems are so different than the modern furnaces. We had a boiler at our old office and they sent two guys out, one was my age and the other looked like he was still in high school. The only reason the young guy was there was to learn.
I hope you find someone who can help you with it.

That's what I meant by a local yokel contractor, sometimes they have dealt with stuff none other have, Jack of all trades.
Neighbor, city NJ guy came over one day just before I had to leave for work in a panic, well pump quit. I looked quick, noticed a burnt wire in the pressure switch box, probably your problem. Not sure where, could be exposed wire in well casing happens if water line doesn't have baffles every so many feet well pump makes whole line move when it kicks in and can rub the wire bare over yrs, seen it before. He wanted to call a well drilling company. NO NO NO, they'll charge through the nose. Call a local contractor/handy man. Ended up being bad wiring from the house breaker panel to the garage to a old screw in fuse panel to the pressure tank pressure switch. Guy eliminated the fuse panel in the garage and rewired everything good to go and safer and done in a few hrs.
If neighbor had called well or electric 'professionals' I bet it would have taken a couple days and a arm and leg.

pretty cool about Indian corn.

Kinda like those odd funky potatoes are better for you than the Irish potatoes. I think...

Oca? I've wanted to try some in our garden, along with those Jerusalem artichokes SCG liked so much lol.
I'm going to try a couple native NY corn this next yr.

I like a good merlot. DH likes a pinot noir, but I think it's dry and not enough body (to me it seems kind of watered down, whereas merlot is like a nice juice. Cabs are just raspy to me)

I confess (I prefer white wine )
Which is weird cause I prefer strong bitter beer. Maybe I just don't like wine?, but I do like wine even red, sometimes View attachment 1181692
Though I think? that white wine is actually made from purple/red grapes with the skins removed, not from white grapes? So, all wine IS actually red?

I like both red and white wine. Red goes into stew and pasta sauces. White goes into chicken dishes, risotto and etc...Yep, do not drink it but use it in cookng!

Just skimmed through the last hundreds of posts, corn was brought up, corn in winter, we get cold, not super duper cold but many weeks of zero F way below sometimes, months, weeks of -20 windchill. I don't feed any corn, 'scratch' or any 'treats'. Unless your buying corn free feed, I'm pretty sure most feeds are pretty heavy on it, so why add? All the birds we cull even in the dead of cold winter are....FAT...
I don't think they need more corn.
A little 'did you know'? Colored 'Indian'corn , certain varieties anyways has 2-3 times the protein and many more vitamins and minerals than the factory corn that is available?

Thanks for the tip! I need to check into indian corn
