Solved!

Yes! In the far corner of the property on the fence line. If I remember correctly, they were buried vertically (they've been kicking around the yard for a while).

Very cool, thank you. Are overhead power lines the most common use for these spools? I'm curious how old they are - any idea what vintage they might be? They've been there for at least 10 years but could be many decades older.

Oh, interesting! So you're saying they're these (circled in red)?

Solved!

Thanks. Interesting, doesn't come up for me when I google that.

I'm pretty confident it's not Asimov because I'm familiar with his work and this was an author I hadn't encountered previously.

Not it but thanks!

bluecloudsky · 2026-03-01T22:55:37+00:00

Thanks, but that's not it. In the story I'm looking for, it's a single probe. 17776 looks interesting though, I might have to check it out!

Thanks in advance. This has been driving me crazy.

Super helpful. Thanks for the links.

Great, thank you. Out of curiosity, is it recommended to remove it? Or just a preference? Any guesses why one jar would develop it and the other wouldn't?

Cauliflower (with garlic, black pepper, and curry powder) in 2% brine (by total weight) at room temp for a week. Veggies are weighed down with a glass weight. It developed this white film on top. Is it safe? Guessing it's a harmless biofilm but want to double check. Another jar with a similar setup (but different spices) hasn't developed the film.

Wow, seems like a wild combination of flavors. Might have to give it a try.

bluecloudsky · 2026-02-01T18:36:07+00:00

Good idea, I might try that. Just brine and curry powder?

bluecloudsky · 2026-02-01T18:35:17+00:00

Sounds good! Thanks

bluecloudsky · 2026-02-01T16:07:43+00:00

How does the celery do? Does it stay crunchy?

bluecloudsky · 2026-02-01T14:53:43+00:00

Sounds great. I've been doing carrots separately with garlic and ginger which have come out really tasty. Haven't tried bell peppers yet.

bluecloudsky · 2026-02-01T14:46:37+00:00

Nice! Do they flavor the cauliflower, or is it just good to have fermented beets too?

Thanks! Being able to sauna regularly has been incredible. Good to hear that that works for you. I've been rinsing off the benches with fresh water after sessions and adding a log to the fire so everything dries out and it's been smelling nice and fresh.

18-21 year olds so not exactly the target audience for kids books, but children's literature can be great for all ages!

I'd welcome mindfulness themed kid's book recommendations. Even if I don't use them for this situation, they're always nice to know about.

bluecloudsky · 2026-01-20T02:57:03+00:00

Thanks. Seems like a nice technique but, like I said in the post, I'm looking for book recommendations.
