When making wine:
1. Don’t overmeasure the yeast.
2. Don’t put the top on too hard.
3. Don’t store it in a crowded area in the kitchen.
4. Make sure you know where ALL the glass is before cleaning up.
5. Know how to make a butterfly-stitch bandage with medical tape, and have lots and lots of Vitamin C on hand.
6. Remind self to get some MSM if this kind of nonsense keeps up.
The count so far this summer:
a. Cut finger sharpening ulu knife backwards (WTF?).
b. Cut hand getting fancy with a bow saw.
c. Cut hand with glass stuck in wall.
Maybe I was never meant to do the farmy thang….
Ow – well at least you only have cuts. I have odd bruises that I find hard to explain to anyone until they see Walter pitching a fit when I hold him (when he wants to do something he wants it NOW) – who knew baby sneakers were so HARD.
If his temper tantrums are only going to get worse, I’ma NEED that hootch I stored for safekeeping in the cupboard, and some of my clove tobacco again. Aghhhh.
ONLY have cuts? I should have gotten stitches — but TIC (“This isn’t Canada”). Ooh, hootch and clove tobacco. Come to the beach with me.
Ooogh, explosions; been there, done that. One more thing to add to your list:
7. When cleaning up the damn glass, be sure to look in the places where it couldn’t *possibly* have gotten to, ’cause sure enough it’ll be there.
*wince* After the Great Nettle Beer Explosion (in my bedroom. At about 4am. 28 bottles.) we were finding brown bottle-glass for MONTHS in the freakiest places, like on top of light-fixtures and behind books.
WHY do we put this stuff in our houses and not out in a shed????
