I think I've got it dialed in:

Looks fantastic!

Bounced it off the wife's head?

Negative, but it did bounce off something:

Sodium in water is always fun.

Perfume with the GF. Those are her scent oils. A couple of them had loose caps and needless to say, my basement no longer smells like a sodium fire.

How's it coming? Have you come up with anything you think is amazing?

She managed to recreate Coolwater pretty well and made quite a few nice perfumes. I tried my hand at it and made something that smells like a mixture of oranges and the candied pecans you used to be able to get in the mall back in the day.

Is this just funsies, or might it become an income source?

Nah, just for fun. She's played around with it before, but wanted to put my fume hood and lab setup "to good use".

First attempt at candy. It's supposed to be sour grape, but it's not very sour or very strongly flavored. Still decent though.

You’re doing that in the kitchen and not the lab, correct?

Correct. Stuff out of the lab has a blue tinge.

I made a fire tonight. I jumped the gun a little bit but the house got cool enough that I just had to do it. I've so been looking forward to the cooler weather and the warmth of the fireplace. I got a good bed of coals going.....I love this so much.

There is nothing quite like the sound, smell, and warmth of a fire.

Funny I just did the same. Finished off the remaining wood from last year. I slacked on cutting wood this year as I was waiting until I finish my wood shelter which I recently did, so going to buy a couple loads tomorrow to replenish. Also want to build a wood storage rack for the basement so I can stack higher. Probably start on that tomorrow after I went to get the wood.

My wood stove area is still roughed in so doesn't exactly look great but eventually going to finish it. It's more for functional heat in my case, still need to build some sort of air jacket/heat exchanger to speed up heating the upstairs.

Just realized I never posted my wood storage area here that I built. Just something basic to keep rain off it, I still need to install the solar charge controller in the shed and wire everything in, as right now the solar panels are just a roof. That's around 1kw worth, the ones on shed are 400w. Also want to put backer rod between the panels, I bought some but it was too thick, in my memory the panel gap was bigger but I was getting confused with the cybertruck. 😛




Also fixed my water transport setup a while back figured I'd post the update. I don't expect it to last super long because it's not even painted wood and only the bottom is treated, but if I get a few years out of it I'll be happy. Eventually I will just setup a rain water collection system so won't need to transport water.

Copper (II) Ibuprofenate

It kinda looks like the internal organs of an alien race I saw on an episode of the X Files.

Copper ibuprofenate is a chemical complex consisting of copper(II) and the chelate form of the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen.[1][2] The compound is prepared by the reaction of sodium ibuprofenate with copper(II) sulfate.

It has been suggested that copper complexes of anti-inflammatory drugs are more active than the parent drug[3] and produce fewer gastrointestinal side-effects.[4] In 2008, a United States patent was issued for the utilization of ibuprofenate complexes (including copper ibuprofenate) as a wood preservative.[5]
