What did you do today to prep?

6 more rotisserie chickens deboned and shredded...

Ready for next week's meals and freeze drying another batch.

My veggie garden is fully planted.

I picture @OrPackrat at his table like Scarface, only instead of mounds of cocaine he's surrounded by piles of freeze dried Costco chicken.

Paid my TCGC dues today $314. They love guys that show up a half dozen times a year like me. Jokes on them though cause close to retired and I'll set up a tent there and a cooking stove

Got yet more heart/BP meds to add to my stock.

Slathered more SnoSeal on my cargo pants. Gonna test those while pressure washing in a few days and then probably spray some of the aerosol DWR coating on them too.

When I looked inside the pants I noticed that the wax/etc. does soak most of the way thru the cloth - I couldn't determine that on my overalls or shirt-jac because they are lined.

I've got to finish putting SnoSeal on my shirt-jacket. Doing this out in the hot sun seems to work well; the sun gets the cloth hot and warms the SnoSeal in the can.

Thinking about doing my ranch coat too.

Finally switched from can shaving cream to a cup and brush for shaving. I like it a lot better as the soap isn't so heavy on the face and doesn't fill the blade as quick. Figure I will be shaving my entire head someday so the can soap had to go.

Welcome to the better way of shaving...

If you have not tried it, get a merkur safety razor and some shark blades...

$10 in blades will last a good year usually...

Left Reddit (got reported to Reddit for "threatening violence" because I advocated that vandals be spanked by their parents).

Wasting entirely too much time there for very little return.

You gotta be bubbleguming kidding me... This is what's wrong with America...

Which is why NWFA is the only "social media" to which I indulge...

Costco has a mango/peach/etc. salsa I buy - always keeping some in the fridge. I use it with tamales and sometimes chip dip. It has just enough spiciness to make it interesting.

It's really good on salmon.

Yesterday I did my bi-monthly chiro/MT and a different dr. appt (getting old sucks and is sometimes painful).

The at Costco I got the vacuum packed rice and vacuum packed whole dried peas (yellow, which are a different flavor than the green, which I need to get more of as I am running low). Dried peas and lentils are good nutrition, but the peas can take a while to cook whereas lentils take less than an hour. I like both in my crock pot stews/soups, but I definitely need to add spice to them, which I always do.

Give a stovetop pressure cooker a try, if you haven't already. Sized for your normal, perhaps another sized for expected family/guests?

We prefer Hawkins brand, wide mouth over tall for basics (rice, beans, lentils). Handy time savers, so also energy savers. Both great to save on, I'd imagine, if in an extended "crunch" time.

Been keeping an eye on pressure cookers on sale, but to do canning one must have a cooker capable of 15 PSI+ and the ones I see on sale didn't have that.

I am okay with my crock pot for now.

BiMart had them on sale last month. Was tempted, however also amidst a move. So not likely until next sale cycle....

I bought groceries at Winco yesterday and for some strange reason they declined my debit card, even though the charge and credit later showed up in my account online and I have plenty of funds in my account - more than sufficient to pay for $82 worth of groceries. Not sure why it did that.

Anyway - it shows the value of having more than sufficient cash to pay for stuff - I just whipped out 5 twenties, got my change and went on my way.

Not sure if it was BiMart (I think it was) but the ones I was looking at had a 11PSI limit.

Rub Your Chip, Dude.

Access to cherry orchard open to me, quick little run for 90 minutes got me 28lbs...

Not bad for a first run...

Will make a few more runs to get more.

Have to pit slice, dehydrate and freeze dry them...
