"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

home brew

CPG and POC recently got around to working with a home brew kit (gift from Nicole to POC).  Our two trainee brewers did quite a bit of work a couple weeks ago getting the process started.  (Fortunately, they kept us all fully informed into the wee hours of the morning via "groupme".) 

POC being on a road trip, CPG was left to do the actual bottling single-handed.

This step looked pretty simple - fill the bottle, drop in some kind of carbonation pill, seal it up.

Now we wait two weeks.
