So I'm sitting here eating biscuits w/a little butter and strawberry preserves, along with some nice juicy bacon strips. I have a couple of salivating dogs at my side waiting semi-patiently for their share of the bacon. Mornin' all, hope everyone's day is off to a good start. I went back to bed around 6 and slept again till about 10. So I almost got my eight hours, just not all at once.

Edit to add I'm also sipping on a rather large mug of hot tea with my stolen honey and french vanilla creamer.

Don't feel bad, I'm quite the thread killer.

I'm a thread killer, today, too. I've already used a bobbin and a half.

It's nice that I'm not sick and my machine isn't either, this weekend.

My wife cleaned the barbecue pit and went to the grocery store. I guess that means we're having barbecue.

We're supposed to hit 30 F tonight or lower. Have to cover or bring in a lot of plants.

I'm also modifying and testing my automatic water system for freezing weather. It has to work for 9 housing units. If I do the due diligence this month, I may never have to carry water at -10F again.

Veggie and chicken kabobs.

She won't cook any of my chickens

It's a bit heartbreaking to have a freezer full of chicken and she buys grocery store chicken. I guess I'll have to start cooking more.
