What did you accomplish today?

Although we went to Dothan last week, which would mean I didn't need to go to town until next week, I ran in to buy a tractor battery. Some sad news. The Catholic thrift store is closed for at least 2 months so they can fix the hurricane damage. I have a bunch of tomato and pepper sprouts that I was going to take them in a couple of weeks. I ran into one of the ladies in another thrift store, and she said to take the plants by the church office if there was any of those cherry tomatoes like I gave her last year. lol

I bought a 1/4 zip Polartec fleece at Goodwill. Almost bought a 90% Moreno wool/10% cashmere sweater, but it has a hole in the sleeve. GW will not knock anything off the price in a case like that. The lady said they would salvage it. It's hard enough for me to pay 5 bucks for clothes, so damn sure not going to pay that for a sweater with a hole in it.

Picked up a metal and plastic coffee filter for hiking. Will have to test it out soon. Also got a 2 1/2 cup heavy aluminium pot. It's purely for the camp. Too heavy for the pack.

I used to take the Folgers coffee bags, kinda like tea bags but with coffee in them.
I've seen those. Around the farm and at my camps I have used ground coffee, although mostly without any kind of containment for the grounds {cowboy coffee}. I have several of those old aluminium coffee pots that do good over campfires if you keep the handle out of the flames. But it's the cleanup that keeps me using instant on trails. With real coffee you need a cup and a pot. Plus the water used for cleaning still weighs 2.2 pounds per liter.

Cut 4 more tops to try to make some clones from my second plant and got them in the "greenhouse". Pulled some of the "sticky weed" from out of the front yard, I hate that crap. It started in my neighbors yard and spreads everywhere. Attitude adjustment beer for the evening is Alaskan Amber. Dinner is leftovers, so I'm done for the day.

The wife has been doing chicken sliders with rotisserie chicken on that sweet Hawaiian bread. You just separate the whole sheet of rolls {tops from bottoms}, add a layer of cheese, a layer of chicken, {with hot pepper flakes, real bacon bits, etc, etc} than another layer of cheese. Put the top back on, with maybe a little butter brushed on. Bake until toasty. I just had two she put in the freezer as a test. They passed the test. I ate both of them.

Got a pic or good description?

Was just out on the screened porch for my after customer safety meeting. A young fox was checking out the edge of the parking lot, just barely getting into the light. His tail wasn't really bushy, and he was about the size of a big house cat. I've seen a grown one in the back for years. Cool to see a young one.

I've had my concerns over the years about Roundup (both enviornmentally and personally) & now it's been confirmed.
I won't touch the stuff.

"Roundup is a weed and grass-killer that has been linked to cancer. Lawsuits accuse Monsanto of failing to warn that glyphosate and other toxic chemicals in Roundup might cause non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma."
