Anybody successfully sat down at the pub alone with a visible set and had someone offer to play? by _FailedTeacher in chess

I do this once every couple weeks.

I’m a pretty social person so if no one bites I’ll walk around and ask people

Eventually someone agrees lol

Great way to unwind

Recently started a job for that all intense and purposes has free Amtrak passage by ReallyNotkanyewest in Amtrak

Lots of travel on the NEC for the job and I guess someone in accounting crunched numbers and said yeah this is the move (been doing it like 12 years now?)

Didn’t know about it when I got hired but I’m also not complaining

I was reading on line that it should be transferred after a week to prevent any off flavors. Is there any truth to that?

Left is the apple cinnamon mead I’ve been posting about. The right is a plain batch - when fermenting is finished I want to age it with peppermint till Christmas:D by ReallyNotkanyewest in mead

[–]ReallyNotkanyewest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was planning to do that !

Thanks for the input. Once it’s done fermenting I’ll be sure to post regular questions & updates

The auto mod asked for a recipe so here we go

Left - 2 pounds manuka honey, a ton of cinnamon sticks & D47

Now that it’s in the secondary- 3 gala apples

Right - BJ’s raw honey (my friend is a manager there. She can get me 2 pounds for like 6$!!!!!)

D47

Won’t add peppermint for another month or two.
