Vieux Chateau Du Roi Trip to the Carboy

Six days have passed since the vieux chateau du roi started its fermenting and it was time for it to be siphoned into the carboy. i cleaned the wine thief and hydrometer and took a reading. The reading was around 0.994, so the yeast is doing its job. i actually should have done this yesterday but i was too lazy to do it, big surprise.
i don't like to let the siphon rest at the bottom of the primary filter so i grabbed a giant vice to hold the siphon a little above the bottom of the buck so minimize the amount of sediment being sucked into the carboy.
Once again i didn't have anyone to help me with the wine. i did however ask babo to give me hand, but he took a more supervisory roll...kind of like brent in the first step but he had his eyes open...
