I don’t have it on mine, but usually when something disappears it’s because I accidentally deleted or turned it off

Got a good price on hard red wheat berries at the bulk store...50 cents a lb, now I need to repackage 50 lbs of it. Found some graham flour, too. They always have the fun stuff there.
Coming in and missing the conversation! So.... going to bed,!!
Phone call went okay. Got the price lowered to something I’d consider acceptable and paid them. So far the work that they did seems to be okay. I’ll want to give it another couple weeks to be sure.
I ordered a mason jar vacuum sealer and tomorrow will include vacuum sealing some of the freeze-dried mushrooms I picked up from our local mushroom farm. Hopefully they’ll keep a little better that way.
On the docket for tomorrow trying out some dehydrated chicken the way I saw on the Rain Country channel (thank you again @Amish Heart!) and seeing if we like that. I kept it simple, picked up a Costco rotisserie chicken as it was cheap and we like them well enough. If we like how they dehydrate, that’ll give me an inexpensive way to put up both meat and broth.

daughter and grandkid are on the way here so I will be busy, better get started on the animals. It rained again last night and was not supposed to , hope nobody gets sick from the weather change but they all have some sort of shelters
If I did , I didn't realize I did..fat finger maybe? But @Tirediron found if you hit your avatar a preference line will allow you to switch it.
Another day in the rut! Regular job, no extra stops!

Got the regular stuff today....chores, earlier lunch, take husband to the bigger town for the doc appt. Dave the amish guy working on the kitchen
You didn't twitch your nose and pull your earlobe?
Dang, I thought that worked every time.
Coffee, and then when it gets light out, then build ,what I hope is the last part for the "never ending" Job
I didn't like it either, couldn't change back, just got used to it!
Fresh brewed coffee.
I am up, dressed of sorts(t-shirt,shorts) and I may stay in them a while.
Have a much needed haircut appointment this afternoon.
Looks cloudy outside.
Talked to my Irishman this morning(0400 hours)my time.
Might take a much needed nap after while.
Will have to deal with CSA boxes that I picked up yesterday.
Looks like I will be making more apple raisin pie filling to be canned up for future pies.
Probably be making Spiced Apples too.
Or maybe applesauce.
Got several squashes I need to get used up before they go bad.
Butt coffee first.

Seems Estelle has been by my house this morning.
She left me a surprise present.
Anybody know anything about Diamond Painting?
It's supposed to be a parrot according to the picture.
But it might be a buzzard or worse if I try it.
Makes me think, her mom doesn't want the mess at her house.
Neither does Aunt Sissy, nor Nana.
So let's bring it to Granny's house.
Granny will do it with me.
Hmm.........

Pain I had is a kidney stone again. Ugh. I get them frequently enough that I can recognize them once they start throbbing in the back above the pelvis and down into the pelvis and urinary tract. This sucks. Hope it will pass quickly. Gonna have to drink a bunch of water.
Gonna try to take it easy today.

I hope you pass it soon!
Already walked.
Will pick up a free lunch at Catholic Church around 11 AM.
Otherwise, will be cleaning out, downsizing and rearranging my bedroom closet and getting out some of what I will take to IL.
I have to go to some store for black pipe cleaners and white puff balls for the sheep ornaments. Didn't have any at home.
NO Bible study tonight. Staying home.

Got home yesterday at 6.30 in the morning. It was a 19 hour drive. Except for a short stop at my sister's place we drove straight through. We had a nice trip, but its good to be home.
I'm going to work on the Startlink today. If I can't get it to work I'll send it back. So far it looks like I need internet to set it up.

Waiting on supplies for the gennie and resistance soldering unit so back to one of my loves, ho scale model railroads. Making a CNC program to cut chassis parts out of brass. Resistance solder the parts together and maybe sell a few. I have several nice old kits and some parts have zinc pest, zinc pest is a type of corrosion that gets in the metal (zamac, a zinc alloy) when too much moisture is present. So many old kits have bad parts I think this may prove fruitful. I studied a lot of CNC for dummies on YT I have the dummy part down no problem. Already made a couple programs so it's just time and math. Other than that watching Real America's Voice.
More stupid stuff from computer people, you need computer to hook up a satellite system to get internet, cause you can't get ground based. (Hard slaps all around)
Taking a long lunch break, temps over 90f. Three younger neighbors came over this morning and started cutting up that big water oak. They got 4 small loads of firewood. It’s green but will burn great next year.
I was dragging limbs into a pile then using the tractor to skid them down below the pole barn. I was almost out of diesel so went down the road at lunch and got 20g of offroad fuel. Had roast, peas and blackberry pie at the diner.
Waiting for the shade from the remaining oaks to creep across the yard before continuing the work. Work smart, not hard!

WELL worth the effort and mess.. This will create a memory others are missing out on..
== ==
Hot, muggy, high overcast for 3rd day now.. Supposed to thunderstorm this late afternoon, evening.. That will mean the present weather front has passed and am ready for a change..
Yesterday was 50% off colored tags and clothes at the Salvation Army store.. Today is 25% at the Savers Thrift store.. The thrill of the hunt.... But first ...more coffee...

It is a wonderful day in my neck of the woods.
I am now sporting a brand new short and sassy haircut.
Lunch out with friends.
I'm thinking about a nap.
And I never nap during the day.

Got up, got cleaned up, met with the law firm, increased my hours of availability, quit my contractor job, went to see the lady, drove to the compound, watched some workers loaded up and drive away with the two shipping containers, loaded up the pickup, drove to the storage unit, set up some heavy duty shelving, unloaded the truck, drove back to the compound, reloaded the pickup and decided I had accomplished enough for the time being and I needed a patio break. Now I am drinking an ice cold glass of sweet tea before I eventually go do a little more work.
I am worn out, arms scraped up pretty good. Looks worse than they are. Done for the day but not done with the job. Got most of the brush cleaned up, at least I can see the other tree now. Had a nice snack afterwards... then a long shower. Wish I had a steak thawed, might go out for dinner.
Yum yum watermelon
My Irishman is in a talkative mood today.
We have talked several times today.
And I am pretty sure we will talk several more times today.
Makes me think he's coming back earlier than he originally told me.
That would be about two weeks earlier than he told me.
Hmm.....Hmm.....
Adult male logic is strange.
And here I thought teenage male logic was strange enough.
And I raised two of those teenage males.
And their logic was weird enough then.
Let alone their logic now, is plain weird.
