13 days...
May. 26th, 2012 08:20 pmI "harvested" the kombucha today. About half went into bottles, I drank a quarter or so, and the rest went into a new batch, along with the old and new scobys.
I've made 3-1/2 batches of sprouts since almost two weeks ago. There's really nothing much else to say about that except that they go well on sandwiches and salads.
The oyster mushrooms started to sprout, but then stopped. It's been two weeks and I've been dutifully "misting" them twice a day, but after an initial surge, it's as if the mechanism is stuck.
The wind has really whipped up quite a lot of dust, to the point where the mountains are obscured. The weather report cites ongoing heavy winds of 25-35 miles per hour, gusting to 60 mph (96 km per hour or so), and attaining 75 mph in the mountains.
There was also a report yesterday, while Galina and I were driving to Durango, of a small fire about 13 miles from Pagosa, in a generally inaccessible area that appears to be leeward of the prevailing winds, so that the dust in the air only takes on a tinge of smokiness from time to time.
It'd be nice to have some rain come through, to take the dust out of the air and maybe help quench the fire.
While yesterday was a willful holiday from work, today just turned out that way. I'm going to have to get down to brass tacks and get some work done tomorrow, if I don't want to pay heavily for it next week.
Cheers...
