Why do we like to wander around hardware stores? Find the answer to this and life’s questions on this week’s Gardenfork Radio. Today Eric and Mike talk about windmills, bees, home water damage, and snow. And more stuff. You just have to listen.

I’m pretty sure this is the wind farm we drove through. I don’t know if I said this, but the red lights on top of the wind turbines flashed in unison. It’s a really amazing thing to see at night:

Black Kinight is worth a drive to Indiana (not sure where your friend is). Was it Black Knight 2000? If you didn’t know, Eric, it’s a classic. Don’t get me wrong, I’m interested in the windmills and bee keeping 🙂
Mike
The original Black Knight, so much fun. I picked up an F-14 Tomcat last night. It’s in rough shape, it’ll be a lot of fun to restore!

love the title – that’s the definition of serendipity. and it’s a big part of browsing through the books in a library and finding a gem!

I wonder if it would be possible to make a garbage disposal that would grind up your food to put into your own compost pile? The process requires a lot of water to work and the resulting goo would need to be dried a bit before being added perhaps. What do you think?
Oh, if you like Sriracha (mayo) then you might want to try Tapatio. If you can’t find any around you let me know and I will send you a bottle. It is a Tabasco like sauce but without the vinegar taste and a much better flavor.
We are using more and more virtual computers on our campus. Each department can have a handful of their own virtual servers that all run on one or two boxes. It makes maintenance much easier and quicker.

Funny story I just bought a Pinball Machine for our new house from a friend of mine! Ours is called ROADSHOW made in 1994 and there are only 2400 made and we have an original one. I think that they are super fun, but a word of caution make sure you have the Original Manual along with the Pinball machine, especially if you have to restore some parts.
