My Jerky Beef is finished

Cool, it's dry. But I cannot taste it so far :-(

The last to weeks I often had a painful ear. So I went yesterday to the dentist. Because the pain was different to my normal ear-pain. He was a surprised, that I just felt a bit pain. My tooth was angry. So he pulled him out :-/ And with this wound I was so far just able to "eat" mashed potatoes. So I'll try it on Monday I guess.

Have a nice Weekend...

The second try to make jerky beef

This time with a dry herbs marinade and some others with a bull eye's marinade. 

Let's have a look how it's going. We'll see in 24 hours. I will keep you informed ;-)

Do you know my black box? It is just a wooden box as you see :-) At the bottom is a small fan heater like your female assistant got one under her desk :-) The temperature is keep around 34°C (93°F). You'll get the best results in a room with a low air humidity and the fan is working all the time. Therefor I will expand with two extra fans. a later project :-)

In this box you can dry fruits, vegetables, meat, herbs and tea.

I use it quit a lot to dry apples and mangos as well as honey melon. Strawberries are very tasteful, but a lot of work for a small pack. They shrink to nearly ten times. 

The best about drying is, that you can keep your products up to 4 years. I already tired it with bananas.

Meat is a bit more difficult to store. It depends as well on the marinade. My last try started running by it's own 2 weeks later. covered in a green coat *brrr* 

Thumbs up and hope for the best ;-) 

Final match Underwaterrugby 1. German League

Fotographer: Oliver Meckes


This Sunday the German Unterwaterrugby League met in Stuttgart for the last matches in this season. My team Tauchclub Stuttgart1 played hard to fight for the 3rd place.
The fist match against Munich ended 1:1. In the fist 15 minutes the Bavarians scored after a counterattack. In the second half, your youngster Matze tied the score. Not as easy as accepted but better then lost :-/
The secound fight against Bamberg, the current Germany Champion, was much harder. The final result of 0:3 isn't too bad. The Match was brilliant. Fast, hard but fair as we like it.
The all over results for the German South League is as followed:

1 TC Bamberg
2 TSV Malsch
3 TC Stuttgart
4 STC München
5 TC Submarin Pößneck
6 TC Heilbronn I
7 DUC Darmstadt

funny date view in WinXP Explorer

• Change your system time to a year far in the future. Like 2045
• create a new file in any folder
• set your system time back to today
• browse to the folder where you created the file, sort the files by date, change View --> Arrange by Icons --> Show in Groups
• lol

The other way around...just set your date to 1980 and follow the step's like before.
