Bread and Circuses

We've been moving pretty quickly since we left Canada.

We cooked in the cold.

At Little Bighorn, we saw some dead soldiers with simple headstones.


At Rushmore, we saw some dead presidents with heads made out of stone.

Jefferson had a runny nose.



Lincoln was crying.



Maybe because of the Bad Lands nearby? (rimshot)

In Wall, we fell for the hype.
 

And at Mall of America we got taken for a ride.

But now in downtown Minneapolis, we're relaxing on rooftops.
 

And visiting good friends.

  1. I can't believe there's snow on the ground in South Dakota in May!

  2. No kidding! Neither could we.

    We thought we were done with snow after southern Utah in March.

I spy...

I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like. Much to my surprise, I found that Google just happened to catch us on the morning of March 29, 2012. Our moving day! So, you better think twice before deciding to run around naked in your back yard. You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

DIY Wort Chiller

We here at Curious Souls H.Q. are always looking for ways to save a buck or two. So, when shopping around online for a wort chiller for home brewing, we found the following prices: $65 @ Midwest (plus shipping) $70 @ Northern (plus shipping) $39 @ Amazon (plus shipping) So, off to the hardware store... 3/8" (internal diameter) Vinyl Tubing (10 feet) = $4.15 Sink to hose adapter (varies based on your type of sink) = $4.79 3/8" X 20' Copper Tubing = $24.13 Vinyl Hose Coupler = $2.49 Hose clamps (x2)  = $1.70 Band-aids (x2 or x3 or x4) = $1.00 For a total of $38.26 (pre-tax, no shipping), we decided to roll our own. Here's how it went down... ( vid link ) And, of course, there is the joy of having made something all by yourself! Priceless & fun!

Chickens Are Scarier Than Crows, Didn't You Know?

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!
