Chuckles galore?

Yes.

I meant to get coffee in, so I could stay up a few more hours.  But, was so tired that I moved very slowly.  I finally got coffee, and was sipping it, when I thought to look at the time.

I tried to push through, to get coffee down or start by noon, in hopes of staying awake until 15:00, or even just to 13:00?  Well, by the time I started coffee, it is already 15:28.  So... in the hour it will take me to finish, I will... definitely make it yet awake to 15:00.

At this point I am hoping to be awake until 16:00, maybe 17:00.  It is rough though.  Really exhausting.  Brutal.

I did get kefir started, much earlier.  I took one of the frozen groups of kefir out of the fridge freezer when I went to town.  It was thawed and ready when I returned.  There was quite a lot in  there, so it should kefir pretty quickly.  Just using storebought milk.  I used to toss the kefir that made, but... not anymore.  It's good enough, just not good enough for long term use.

With that much kefir culture to start the process, even split, I am hoping it will produces enough kefir grains to replace itself quickly.  Starting with two quarts of kefir fermenting.  Will probably add another quart before too long, until I get the three quarts of turnover half gallon maturing jugs going.  Then, since it is coming on to warmer spring then to summer, will cut it back down to two quarts.  As it will ferment, those quarts, probably in a day.  Even then, I may have to juggle things to keep the kefir from getting too potent, or running out.  It's... a tricky thing.

Still dark, cloudy, raining.  Still beautiful out there.  Can just... feel spring, growing things, green grasses, budding leaves and tree blossoms, and... women are... women react to spring the way many beautiful things do.  Uhrm, nice.  Even if, as things stand, I only watch from a... safer distance.  Watch I do.  If... I'm not the only one watching.  I've caught several watching me.  *smiles*  Good for the ego?  Or some such.  Especially when they are half my age, and... there is something fresh... about their operations.  Yes.

Anyway... A bit long up.  Looking over a few posts out there, and this and that.  Then on to bed?  Before long.  Good afternoon, evening, and goodnight.
