What's everybody doing today?

[dademoss]

Went to Rural king for chicken/bird food, then walmart for some stuff. I did get to see a 60K electric VW van on the road, new product. It looked WAY better than the Tesla Dumpster, but I'll pass on both of those.

Door to back basement came out today.

It looks like at least shelf will need to be emptied and moved. But I should be able to some progress on digging drainage troughs before that is required.

The trick is to bet early, before obvious changes. I don't play the market, but would like to. The thing with today's news... and of late, relatively speaking... placing the proper bet could pay-off.

Edit: I don't have enough faith to leave money in long-term and expect to profit.

I only invest for the long term, I've owned some shares over 20 years. But if some stocks aren't preforming like I think they should I'll sell them. About 10 years ago I turned most of our investment accounts and all of our retirement accounts over to a professional money manager. They put it all in to a moderate risk portfolio. I've been very happy with their results.

trying to get the "new" power unit engine for my splitter, someone A. didn't use the same coloured wires on the fuel shut off solinoid, and some one treated the harness a little rough. managing to pill all 3 wires out of the plug. , I will have to see what the internet knows about Kubota shutoff solinoid wire colors,

More spring cleaning, used a large container and put in a gallon of evapo rust. Added another batch of rusty tools. Finally went through the tool box on the truck, tackled the ratchet strap mess. Some straps were frayed or badly worn, some ratchets were non-functional. I brought the pile to the tool room in the house and stripped everything apart. Used lithium grease on the ratchets, restored 5 to good working order, even had 5 good straps to match. The rest went in the trash.

Found yet another set of sockets I didn’t know about, a decent 49 piece metric set, 1/4 and 3/8 drive. Brought it inside to get cleaned up on a rainy day.

Wrote up a wish list, thinking of going to the big town early in the morning. Heard there was a mushroom guy at the big farmers market. I need to have a chat with him about Lion’s Mane. I’ll buy from him but I really want to pick his brain and grow my own. Also want to go by the big nursery. Heard they have onion sets ready, supposed to have cabbages too.

Nothing planned but dinner and tv.

I got bread baked today and have been pulling up weeds and feeding them to the chickens. I got another tiny green egg from my pullets today, I'm really glad my kid talked me into getting those chicks last fall! The kids are all outside playing in the yard with the hose, it's a good day for it. Will probably start on laundry and give the dogs their heartworm stuff later this afternoon.

All critters fed! Will take Bear for a woods walk in a bit! Got an hour in on the pool float before it clouded up, too chilly! Going to mess with some soil in my pots, get them ready for plants!

I made small apple pies last year ( from our apples) and they sold out really fast. If we get apples this year I will do it again. Not worth it if you have to buy the apples
Haven't found a great recipe for cheese bread yet, but I put cheese on my foccaccia bread

I just grate some cheese and put it in my loaf recipe. Another thing that sells is pizza bread. So regular bread recipe, grated cheese, and chopped pepperoni. Top is glazed with a bit of olive oil. Small loaves of that sell for $4 each here (the mini loaf size)

Survived shoe shopping with little granddaughter...she found a pair of boots, a pair of converse hi tops and a pair of low tops. Also Hobby Lobby for material and beading she needed...sewing and jewelry projects she's doing. Stocked up on feed at Atwoods, and they had their 5 inch tall tomato plants for 99 cents each, and strawberry plants, too. Got some of both. A lady came in and bought all their chicks they had left, about a dz at a high price, couldn't see what kind, if they were just bantams or what. They had ten buck guinea keets and 7 buck ducks. My new incubator is on the table, I'll load it up tomorrow after I read directions on it. Picked up husband's prescriptions, and now to get ready for the liverwurst and fried mush meal.

Dad’s radiation was early this morning—8:55am. Whole process takes about 15 - 20 minutes. Enough time to enjoy a coffee from the refreshment room.

The rest of the day was very productive. I tried out the new Bissell carpet scrubber on a few really bad stains for the dog and it did pretty good. After lunch I went next door to my vacation home (that’s what I call my apartment now) and wound a short warp to put on the little table loom I’ve got down here at Dad’s. Also picked up a bit of weaving paraphernalia I will be needing. Up-potted broccoli and cabbage that got their true leaves. I have an abundance of cabbage seedlings that I need to decide what to with.

Made dinner—angel hair with meatballs. Have to cut up and chop everything for dad to be able to swallow but he really enjoyed it. We’ve gone from four bollus feedings through the tube to just one. That right there is a beautiful thing. Unfortunately it won’t stay that way. The last couple of weeks of treatment he’ll be going back to four just so he can get proper nutrition.
