What's everybody doing today?

[snappy1]

Good morning!
Will walk first.
Drop off a few banana breads.
Go shoe shopping. Not fun, but as much as I walk, they have to fit and have support.
This afternoon, either make more cookie dough or take ebay photos.
Sit outside with pups while the weather is staying like late Spring.

 

[Magus]

More rain. more sleep. might pull a drunk later. Meh.

 

[Wingnut]

Household chores & a little yard work. Store run later... burned out on turkey for now, though I still have some stuffing & soup. It's good, but I'm ready for something else, lol. Thankfully, there's only a serving or two of soup & stuffing left in the fridge... it'll keep, but I'm ready for a steak or a burger, lol. Maybe a beef roast... those are good in the colder months.

 

[Magus]

Cut that stuffing into squares, batter it in egg yolk and fry it in butter, you'll love it!

 

[Wingnut]

I've been making all kinds of dishes with that stuffing, and they've all been tasty, but I'm ready for something new, lol...

Goats escape pens though. You gotta make the pen like a gulag to keep them in, with guard towers and razor wire. I saw one get a running start at a fence corner once. He jumped, turned his body in the air so it was parallel to the ground and all four feet were off to the side. Then he hit the fence on the right side with his feet, ran on the fence like that for about six feet, with his body still parallel to the ground, and then shot upward onto the corner of the fence and went straight over. Never seen anything like it since. That sonofagun was part ninja. He also ate the vinyl top off of a 1978 Mercury Cougar.

I'm pretty sure rabbits won't do that...

Fully grown goat bucks are the worst, they are probably almost as bad as a mad Angus cow
We had one that broke 3 barn doors, completely demolished. They will do that to get to any potential girls

So now we have a new problem thanks to the weather, not enough solar power to recharge the internet batteries. It keeps going off and they were actually out here recharging the batteries with a generator. I guess people on this system were starting to complain about no internet for days . I can use my phone but it's a hassle

Still drizzling and foggy out, no sun. I looked it up, drizzle, light rain and wet fog doesn't show up on weather radar

Sushi turned out good, in case anyone interested here are some instructions and photos

1. marinate fresh salmon in lemonade over night, then smoke in smoker for about an hour, I used cherry wood chips
2. cook sushi rice and while still warm add some seasoned Japanese rice vinegar on a cookie sheet and let it cool
3 cut sheet of seaweed in half and put layer of rice on it, then flip over ( I use plastic wrap)
add mayo/siracha mix on top of seaweed
4. add salmon and veggies ( avocado and cucumber)
5. roll and cut, sprinkle with fried panco breadcrumbs on the outside I don't like the raw fish eggs....

and while I am at it...here is a photo of what our weather looks like ( when it's only drizzling and not pouring )

My fever is gone but I’ll still be taking it easy today. Did go next-door to Dad’s to throw in some laundry and helped him order yet another part for his tablesaw and woodwork shop. Did put bread in the bread machine. Other than that the only plan is to go next-door later, hang out with dad and watch

Looks like a cute little house but wow, that's a lot of money for such a small house
Is that what rental prices are nowadays?
(haven't rented anything in about 30 years so I don't know )

Good luck, hope it works out well with the new renter

New renter signed last night and started to pay in advance.

The Princess is happy so by definition so am I.

Cleaning and washing and straightening today. Cat exploded pooped on the litter mat, clean the mat, clean/wash/dry the cat beds, set up some new/moved/repurposed heated mats for the cats in a few rooms, decorating the new tree ( the old one died in a CATatstrophe). Tomorrow I will work on the old tree and see if it can be revived/reincarnated.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Tried plowing yesterday, got about a half mile and turned around. The fog was so thick I couldn't see the ground. Ran the tractor off the road a couple times.
It snowed all day today and drifted a lot. Supposed to snow another 2 feet+ today and tonight and have high winds. We've been snowed in since Thursday. Don't mind, we have plenty of food, fuel and no place to go anyway.

 

[Frodo]

I make them regular size, not large. I doubled the recipe and got three rolls of dough and one sheet of cookies.
The majority of cookies on plate are peanut butter oatmeal cookies View attachment 100010View attachment 100014

Wish I could watch that game... maybe next year. [sigh] Funny thing, I hail from a Navy family but I joined the Infantry, so I often rooted for Aarrrghhmy to win, but those pesky Midshipmen are tough to beat, lol. I used to watch the game with me beloved & dear departed mum, she loved all the "hoopla" (as she called it)... I was pleasantly surprised one year to see Army win, but they took a regular drubbing every year for a while there, lol.

Just returned home, forgot it was Saturday when I left for town... so the errand & store run took longer than expected. Meh, these days when I go to town just fly by like Ben Johnson on steroids, I'm not even sure I'll water this afternoon as I originally planned to do, my feet are tired again, lol. Maybe I'll just sit here and enjoy this (first) beer I just cracked, I think I earned it fighting the crowds at WallyWorld. I also scored some good meats from Albertson's Market!

I picked up a nice beef roast, I may have that tonight as I'm kinda hungry for beef... too much turkey lately, lol. I also picked up an excellent 'Value Pack' of thick pork chops, I'll have those sometime in the next few days, with applesauce and maybe some of this homemade cherry jam I bought at the World Famous Three Rivers Trading Post, lol. I'm gonna have some of that cherry jam on pancakes with real butter & maple syrup in the mix, ham & eggs on the side!

Which reminds me, I went ahead and bought a Christmas Ham, a spiral-cut, honey-cured number from the house brand at Albertson's, it comes with a glaze packet too so it should be pretty tasty. Bought some yams to go with it, I haven't had yams in sweet syrup for ages! I'll probably just make some vegetables to go with the ham, I try to keep holiday dinners simple and just focus upon the important foods, lol. I think I'll make country gravy to go with the ham this time...

Had little granddaughters work with the animals with me this morning, and she did well. Surprisingly well with the geese, too, all eight of them. She's a little taken aback by some of the adult turkeys in one run, though, but went into the junior turkey run ok. And chickens and rabbits are a piece of cake. So I'll get her trained yet. We spent all afternoon making cookies and peanut butter cups. Made 3 types of Christmas cookies. My microwave blew....had an electrical fire, so in the dumpster it went, and I got our spare out of storage. We were happily surprised...my favorite cousin's daughter and whole family came by, brought dinner and some raw milk. Wanted to check on my husband since he is still sick and housebound. Just in time for cookies and coffee. Great to visit, since he is not well enough to go to Sunday dinner tomorrow. So dinner tonight is all made....chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, sweet corn, gravy, and homemade bread rolls. Hers are my favorite.

Sorry to hear that. I lost my best friend in a similar manner. Still miss him nearly 40 years later

We went on the Redneck Comedy Bus tour this evening.

 

[Bacpacker]

Worked on my truck a little, worked in the basement a little. Then had a fire in the pit this afternoon. We sat around it and I had a cigar.

Many years ago, when I was out in the mountains of Colorado fishing, I was walking around the backside of a small lake where Cateract Falls came down the mountain side, I made the mistake of taking a drink from the ice cold water and it cracked a tooth which made it very painful to even take a breath with an open mouth, what amazed me was that the crack healed and I never went to a dentist to see if I could get it fixed, later when I went to a dentist for other work I asked him if a crack would heal itself and he said it would not, but it did and to this day that tooth doesn't look like it ever happened.

No concern about giardia? I've known people and dogs who have had it from drinking out of streams.

Location, location, location! For some places, that would be a great deal.

Bought a new phone. Got home and discovered the cable in the box was usb-c to usb-c. I need usb to usb-c, couldn’t even charge it, much less transfer data. So another 40mile trip was necessary.

Couldn’t get mad at the kid who sold me the phone. There was a cable in the box for charging and transferring data just like he said. I failed to ask if It’d connect to any of my 5yr old electronics at home.

He’s actually a good kid. I went in the store a couple years ago, a bad cfs day. Shouldn’t have been out in public. This same kid was great, really helped me with a purchase. Knowledgeable, knows every product and where it’s located in his dept. Usually don’t get any service or help at the super center. This kid really stood out. I spoke to the manager about him.

When I got to electronics the 2nd time this evening. The kid was great again and very apologetic. Went right to the cable I needed.

Got the phone charged but still haven’t turned it on yet. 2 trips to town left me overly tired and unable to understand the simple setup instructions. I’ll look at a few websites in the morning, get familiar with setup.

I don’t even need to set it up for calling though. I only bought it for the camera. There has been a shortage of cameras for sale the last 9/10 months. I've spent hours seaching and can't find one at a reasonable price. There are no discounts, in fact... The camera I want is only available as a factory refurb with a 60% price increase. This phone is a lot cheaper and it's cameras do a heck of a lot more.
