i looked into the numbers, goats a few million to perhaps five millionish, beeves, about ninety million in comparison.

the pepper garden did get done yesterday. was pretty easy. i probably spent more time picking gravel out of the dirt (and cleaning it up before tossing it back on the path), weeding and reshaping the garden a bit (to slow down or capture rains before they flow off). i need to transplant some...

got around to checking the worm buckets this morning and gave them some veggie scraps and other munchables. was good to see them again. then i got out and watered the transplanted sod chunks and various chewed up grass mulches and other bits of sod so that i hope they can be rooted and in...

tonight was very unfancy, but i started with a Frog (which is like a Turtle but made with almonds instead of pecans) as a quick fix to hold me over until i could get the can of spaghetti-os open. i don't mind eating them cold right out of the can. dinner prep less than a minute total. yep...

maybe overall fewer goats than beeves?

having taken the southern route to NM many times driving through northern TX and the surrounding states, yeah, i remember... short trips for me used to be six hours or less. the normal drive from up north to down here was 8-10hrs and sometimes twice as long in storms. no, i'm not doing that...

oh wow! but yes, i've done similar with bad bounces off things i've been hammering. my hands did not like what a four pound sledge could do to them. i'm still surprised they even work any more. as for sharp edges can you put some chunks of cardboard on them or small boxes or something...

procrustiation!

went out this morning and he had started tilling with this 8 foot contraption on the back of his plow. ground up the sod. talked to him and eventually got him (i did ask nicely) to pretty please grind up as much of the grass as he could get at. gave him back the flags. later on when it had...

finished getting the tomato patch put up for winter and moved on to starting to clean up the strawberry patch and also got some weeds out of some rocks while i had the energy for it. only two more gardens besides the strawberry patch inside the fence to deal with and other puttering around...

the milk with no-egg version is what many people use. i like it much more as a custard (with eggs :) ).

i still remember what green stamps taste like...

lower the price it will move! :)

it would bug me severely to spend that much for a vehicle and have it not look decent. now if some day in the future i can pick up a used EV for a decent price i won't mind as much what it looks like - nobody expects a used car to look too fresh and out here it's not really practical either to...

today turned out good for a change of pace we pulled a few containers from the freezer and so i had half of the spaghetti and meatball container and put some pepper chunks on it before nuking it. 3 minutes out of the freezer and still slightly frozen did get the noodles back in reasonable...

looks better, body panels probably line up better, probably costs 1/20th as much. yep, looks like a winner to me. :) best of all, you don't care where you park it, nobody will steal it and even if they run into it you probably won't notice or care. plus you can use Tractor Supply for all...

our normal routine upon heading out is to say, "Be careful out there!" "Be careful in here!" ... (preceeded by "Love you!" "Love you!") :)

ha! i got a few hours in after breakfast. last night about 4:30am someone was doing donuts at the corner - i was up for a while and had some cereal and then puttered for a bit and then went back to sleep until now. feel much better today than yesterday. :)

the recipe i like the best is a custard (milk, eggs, sugar) based one that Mom used to make when i was a kid. now she doesn't make that version any more but i have fond memories. basically you make a custard recipe and add rice and raisins and then bake it on low as long as it takes to get the...

some take out from our favorite chinese food place. :) strawberries and whipped cream for dessert.
