A#1 I went out this morning w/ pellet gun locked & loaded but no sign of egg predator and fetched in 2 fresh eggs laid in the yard, not the hen house.
B#2 After yesterday's gobbling I knew my pot o' soup wasn't gonna last through the coming cold spell. The grocery store has 2 pound sacks of baby carrots on sale for less than regular carrots so I got a sack of them. Roast is still cheaper than ground beef so I also fetched home another couple pounds of that beefy goodness. Once my chores were done I fried a couple slices of thick bacon and sauteed some celery, onion and stuffer size mushroom stems for the soup pot. I'm planning on stuffing the caps tomorrow w/ a mix of seasoned ground pork, cheddar and cream cheese, wrapped in bacon along w/ a half dozen jalapeno poppers, stuffed and wrapped in the same way. I floured and browned another pound or so of beef, added some more seasoned flour and water after all was brown to make a rich gravy and into the soup pot w/ that.
C#3 Expecting a hard freeze I disconnected my front and back water hoses and put the "cold cap" things over the faucets.
D#4 Free shoe inserts & knee pad helpers... If you've read any of my posts you know I don't like paying for anything that I can improvise. My feet get cold at work and the elastic in my knee pads is worn so they slip down a lot. I fetched home a cardboard box today and using my shoe as a template cut out a homemade insert for extra insulation. I did the same w/ my knee pads. The shoe inserts and extra knee padding cost me a grand total of maybe 10 minutes of measuring, marking and cutting.
E#5 Oops! I thought both Bella and Vlad were inside. I just went to check my laundry and heard a whining at the back door. After about 2 and 1/2 hours Bella was more than ready to come back in!
F#6 I recently bought some ginkgo biloba pills to help my memory. One small problem, I can't remember to take them.
