Considering what has happened recently with a certain oil well in a certain ocean, this oil article was inevitable. This article doesn’t deal with getting rid of oil on that kind of scale, though it seems that if you just wait long enough it will disappear into the vastness of the ocean thus allowing you to just declare, “Mission Accomplished!” and go home. You shouldn’t do that around your house, even if you do live near the ocean. Though if you follow the steps laid out in this article, you should have a good start on how to deal with your oil problem.

Every thing has a beginning and for me and my new life as an amateur brewer, Batch One was it. This wasn’t my first batch of beer, of course. The year I turned twenty-one in 1999 (and a few years after) included dozens of excursions into the brewing arts. But it was always done sort of [...]

I continue to be impressed with Rogue Brewing. This beer, their Oregasmic Ale, was made from barley and hops that they grew themselves. If this sounds familiar, I did the same thing last year. Admittedly, my beer didn’t turn out as good as this (because the barley germination rate was awful), but I was headed down [...]

Yes, I’ve eaten squirrel. The first time (that I remember) was over at a childhood friend’s house. We had built a clubhouse, of sorts, out of scrap-wood and tarps. We spent a good deal of time out in the woods behind his house around a campfire, smoking stolen cigarettes and drinking warm beer. The evenings often [...]

I’ve lucked out so far, in that I have never been directly sprayed by a skunk. Which is amazing really considering my childhood, which often included walking around in the wilderness in the darkness of night. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some close encounters. For a while, they were a real problem around my parent’s [...]

While I was brewing up a batch of Durum Wheat Saison in my garage the other day I noticed a wasp flying in and out of the opened garage door. I wondered what she was up to until a few days later I noticed little mud balls on my glass carboys which had been fermenting in [...]

Gophers like to dig holes. They spend most of their lives underground, and that’s just great, except when they dig into your flower bed, or worse, the foundation of your house! It can be difficult to control gophers, but I have collected for you a huge pile of ideas and resources that will [...]
