    Well I put the snow shovel and snow boots up to replace them with rain gear this week. bought a new $150.00 bicycle for $50.00 for this summer. rescuing a dob, (Lab and Boxer mix) no one seems to want him and everyone who takes him brings him back so I am determined to help this dog. He hates cats, small animals, small kids and is afraid of the dark. steals all the covers off you for himself, (spends all night pulling them off of you) other than that he has no problems.
    I am me,
    I am free,
    You can not change me.

    If you try, you will see,
    That I am unchangeable,
    Because I am me.

    a small dent isn't necessarily bad, but it is impossible to determine the damage inside the can. if the coating on the inside is comprimized, then the contents can react with the bare metal, and develop rust, particularly if the contents are acidic (like canned tomatoes); or they will take on a metalic taste (especially for sweet items like canned fruit).

    Not sure if the nutritional value is comprimised, but the taste and asthetics certainlly can be.

    brought in 3 of my blue barrels to help organize my pantry. One for flours, one for Pasta, and one for rice... so far.

    brought in my greenhouse to get my plants started, as well as some potting soil and small pots.

    We got 80 broiler chickens 3 will got to FFA fair, the rest will get slaughtered. We have over 60 baby rabbits right now, 3 are going to fair the rest are getting slaughtered, plus 3 more that should be pregnant. We planted 6 trays that hold 72 seeds each with all kinds of things. Going to plant them as soon as the frosts are over. We planted a bunch of comfrey (look it up if you want to feed your livestock). We are about to order a bunch of willow, you can plant it in 5 year rows for firewood, and you can make lots of things out of it, from living fences to furniture. We also plan to plant some large bamboo to make things out of. Just need to buy the barrier so that it does not spread.

    We also built a large rabbit colony that we will start keeping all our rabbits in when it is not county fair time.

    Careful with willows... they grow quick, propagate quicker, and infest even quicker. their roots WILL find water, even if it pushing up through your ponds. or foundation...

    Awesome about the bunnies! nom nom nom.

    We have a 2 acre field about 200 yards from the house that we will plant them in. That way we can control them with the tractor if needed. They wont be any where near the house.

    I got 2.5K pieces of 40S&W brass, going to get more powder next weekend.. Bullets are easy to get on line with no HAZMAT fees, only short on primers...

    Ordered a 12v vibrator motor assembly that goes in a massaging pillow or something, will strap it to my Lee Perfect Powder to see if it produces more consistant powder throws.

    I have 500rnds of 40S&W reman on the way, should be here next week. Lil'Bravo's M&P is on lay a way.

    Got my 2100H programmed, ordered wiring and fuse holders, etc.. to wire it in the jeep directly to battery.

    Once my health is back to 100% from where I was near death's door (or so it felt!) with this flu like virus, I need to get back into exercising.


    That is all for now...
