When I was much younger we would have a
spodie every year where the main ingredient was everclear. I live in Washington state and we had to drive over to Montana in order to buy it. Very crazy and highly intoxicated parties those were. Ah to be young and dumb again.
Yeah, and I don't even drink alcohol these days.
As it says on the label it's also for extracting. I bought three bags of dried Extra Hot New Mexico green chiles, ran two through the food processor and put it in a jar with the Everclear. In a week or two I'll pour off the fluid, boil the alcohol out and will have nearly pure capsicum left. I'll make a more conventional hot sauce with the third bag and add the capsicum. I'm hoping to make a sauce this time that will make tough men cry.
Today I made some camera mounts for my studio out of lean pipe and fittings.
This will allow me to have fixed cable runs that are shielded on the ceiling to keep them from getting snagged and still be able to position the camera anywhere in a 9' diameter area.
The arms can spin 360 degrees, lift and extend and be tucked away against the ceiling when not in use. Still waiting on some threaded knobs for locking them into position and a flexible camera mount for versatility. For now friction holds them OK.
