Removed the shells from the tomatillos and started boiling them with some cloves of garlic, onions and jalapeños. After this I'll blend it with cilantro and re-boil for canning.

Btw, this is my first time making it. Wife said something was missing until we added cumin, then it was perfect. Next year when I grow my own I'll try roasting first, that's the way they do it on all the 5 star recipes.

I tried fitting the bumper and grill on the Impala because I need to straighten the mounting brackets before painting them. The bottom bolt of the center bracket is held in by a hidden, captured, nut which broke free and is now spinning so I can't get it off. Now I need to pull the radiator, and I don't even know if I'll have access then, I've seen where you sometimes have to cut the radiator support open to get at them because their put in when the support was originally welded together. So that got put off for a few days until I'm ready to pull the motor and tranny.

I moved on to refinishing my spare fender, which was supposed to be an original undamaged part. I ground out over a dozen areas that had body filler in it, including all the trim mounting holes which someone caved in to fill with filler :cuss:, and every spot there was filler there was rust underneath that had crept out under the original primer. So I stripped it down to bare metal and spent the afternoon with my body hammers and dollies straightening it.

Now I'm just waiting for lights to kick on so I can go start trimming.

I went out to grab a fresh cantaloupe from the garden for breakfast and something ate through the bottom of almost all the ones that were ripe, 6 of them, a couple were just hollow skins...Sonofabitch! At least I got one good one, hopefully I'll get a couple more in the next couple weeks. IDK what's doing it, I think it's either rabbit or moles, maybe, don't have much else around that'd do it. Might be time to try making hasenpfeffer. Gotta oil up the old pellet gun.
