I am too old for all this change! I prefer stopping at a "proper" gas station where the bathroom is horrid... or peeing on the side of the road...
And stopping at a Sonic to eat.

Light fog, almost gone -- crisp 50s provides free AC with slightly open window at night. 
Close that shortly, before leaving for work. Short day. Home by 1 or 2 to do farm work. Yah.
I got some roof tin from online auction, so need to pick that up tomorrow...hook up trlr today, 12' stuff and $39 a sheet vice $65-70 at store. Plus some 8' stuff (4 pieces) -- always need it somewhere! Only $20 a sheet. 13 sheets all together, worth the drive. Only 30 miles. Not much further than the store anyway. Building supplies are soooo expensive!
Just got a call to pick up some extra tomato plants from a friend
so will do that today, after I finish work, then home. Already have some plants ready to go out but, hers are different variety! 
. Good. Need to take her more eggs, too. Combine trips.
Better get another cup -- things are adding up. Need caffeine.

Roofing tin is always a good buy. You will find a use for that!

Sure will find a need, especially at about half price now -- ya know it's going up again 
isn't everything? 
TX shut down the sugar plant due to drought & how much water it takes to grow & process. Neighboring states & TX growers couldn't get a crop big enough to work plant. And these rains/storms have cut coffee bean production in 2 major producer areas. Now, in a few months, that will impact prices again. Coffee & sugars. Just a reminder....buy now.

Thanks. I'm good on all types of sugar, but my 2022 stash of coffee is running dangerously low. Time to find some sales again.

I've been re-doing a storage area that I filled up during covid - I am flush on sugar and rice for LIFE I think, lol. Need to get more coffee though.

I need to get sugar anyway. Getting low. Might get 2 bags since it keeps well and I have extra buckets right now. I usually fill a 5 gallon bucket as well as the containers in the kitchen
