    Great prep!

    What was your prep for today?

    No, not me. One of my preps is a fiskars pruning saw. But if I need to cut downed trees out of my way, I'll use my 18" electric chain saw powered by a portable generator. I have to admit that I am periodically tempted to buy an 18V ryobi chain saw. Then I think back on how many times I used...

    Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)

    I've seen a few episodes of "All Up In My Grill" and was inspired to grill some tomatoes.

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Thanks Jean-Luc. When I was living in Georgia, my roommate had a cat that wasn't allowed outside. But it often sat by the screened in window. We got infested with fleas! WE bombed the place with 7 powder, and later vacuumed it up, the whole place had wall to wall carpeting. I can't begin to...

    What was your prep for today?

    The weather is getting nice, and I want to get a jump on those Jersey mosquitos that will be getting thirsty very soon. I sprayed the front and back yards with bug killer. I also picked up a thick 12 inch aluminum pan with non-stick coating, and a stainless handle. I may use it in the house...

    raggies random remarks ....

    I don't have a landline anymore. When I did, I got it from my cable supplier, and they offered a free call blocker service. That blocked 80-90% of the junk calls. Now I get calls on my cell phone, if the caller is not on my contact list it goes to voicemail. My voicemail gives a text readout of...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Good shot! This morning at around 3:00 AM I was doing my fairly regular night call, and I noticed a little bug walking along the edge of a towel in the laundry basket. I reached over to squash him, and he jumped about 5 inches. I reached for him again, and he jumped again. Then I couldn't find...

    The only paprika I have in the house is smoked. I thought it was only for coloring. When smoked it has extra flavor.

    Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)

    I enjoyed this chicken in cream sauce so much I made it again last night. I didn't have any shallots so I thin sliced an onion. Also instead of using the litany of spices, I used a pre-mixed one. After rubbing the seasoning onto the chicken and frying it in olive oil, I put it on a plate. I...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    This Sunday I got together with my son and a couple of his friends to troubleshoot why his 4.3L inboard outboard merc-cruizer wouldn't run. They used a flashlight (I don't know which one) to trace some color-coded wires. We found that it didn't have spark, and no power to the ignition coil. When...

    Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)

    I was appalled at how much strength I lost in three years of relative inactivity. I retired, due to the pandemic, and then stayed inactive as my hip continued to deteriorate. I went back to work, had my hip replaced, and finally got my dead butt to the gym. I only go for 20-30 minutes twice a...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    This morning I turned on the water to the outside faucets. I used my Maglite ML25LT to inspect the water line as coursed its way through the attic, to make sure there were no leaks due to bursting. I used the ML25LT because it was handy, and because it is a thrower and would work perfectly at 25...
