Neptune's kneading his favourite little pillow (this void kitty face, modeled here by Buddy) & he's so intense about it that he looks like he's typing the Great Canadian Feline Novel & it made me wonder if he'd knead a typewriter-shaped pillow if it was made out of the same kind of plush

Haha it's definitely Weird Science Night chez ratfish! I put the thermometer back in the freezer & then forgot about it for a while. i also forgot it's an *alcohol* thermometer & the freezer was freezing my gin. It straightened out once it warmed up more 😳

my *worry* was that it had fallen out of the truck during errand-running days ago, sometimes it falls down between the seats or between pasenger seat & door, & i'd looked in my truck earlier today

my weird little obsession with eutectic brines & thermal mass can be traced directly to this awesome little book, which is a British Columbia classic. In his discussion about freezing your catch, he discusses various tricks for speeding up the freezing process. Freeze fish fast, thaw it slow!
