I have a little upright 7 cu ft freezer we bought 25 years ago that is still going strong. Deep freezer and fridge are 15. Fridge compressor iced up once. Freezer drawer hadn't been fully closed because something fell behind and I didnt know. After thawing, no issues.
Bought a small apartment...
Cannot thread zip ties through fencing with a hooked finger that prevents hand from going through. I know that personally. Doing everything to prevent that now
Bareback and barefoot horse riding. My cousins took me out a lot on rides. Later I was out alone at great aunts.
Wandering around the scrub desert by my house was nice. There was wild babies breath there that I dragged home some of one year along with some lupine. Mom made me show her where...
This is why when I showed up at the ER with the rat tooth in my foot I was all calm. A lot of the medics, who are so much younger, were kind of freaked out.
I have a scar on my shin from hitting the mailbox and the corner spike digging in. It bled like it was paid to and took forever to fully heal.
Those also sucked if you were barefoot, but you just bared it.
Had re-eval on finger today. Movement has improved. I've gained 2mm straighter on first joint and others are stable. Middle joint I need to watch because it really wants to curve. Brace on periodically during day and at night.
Strength isn't quite back in hand, but it's actually better than...
Only raspberry I've had good luck with here is the the thornless. It escaped the pot (they came true from seed) and is very slowly spreading. I've been getting stuff out of it's way. 2x6 row along the back of the broody coop now.
I got some blackberries cut back. Just a bit more left to take care of in the old large fowl pen. Did get the old top net cut out of it. It's half dry rotted and needed replaced.
Then I can get the hardware cloth up.
As long as I don't try to remove a finger again, I should be canning tuna again finally this summer. I only have a few jars left.
That's one of the bad things about last year. My accident was a couple weeks before tuna was running.
Yes they did. There was a reason that the book "the Jungle" created such an uproar to the point that food safety laws were created as well as the Food and Drug Administration.
Food producers can't be trusted to do what's right without oversite
Read up on how Victorian bakers would add plaster to the flour to make it whiter. White bread was seen as high class.
Real white bread at that time was fine ground and super sifted to remove all bran. So more expensive.
Hashbrowns, bacon, toast, and eggs.
Had to joke about being rich aristocrats with our fresh laid eggs. Only ate a dozen of them.
...they were silkie eggs. Takes 2 to make 1 large egg.
