On the good side of things, we got a bunch of different cuts of venison from a co-worker of my husband...bless him! I've been cooking it in different meals for almost a week and a half now! LOVE IT! I know some of you hunt out there so I want to ask what your favorite ways of preparing it are. We have ground, steak, tenderloins and a roast. I am trying the roast in the slow cooker today with potatoes, onions and apples in a beef broth concoction I mixed with bouillion, worcestershire, soy and a wee bit of cola. I was told that it tends to be tough so I beat the crap out of it first!

If you guys are getting wind like we are here, I sincerely hope your damage is minimal! It's supposed to be peaking about now with gusts in excess of 60mph. Already I have 2 gates practically ruined from it (not the first time it's happened) and large tree branches all over. The birds are stuck in their pen so they don't blow away!!!!! I don't even want to evaluate how messed up our Christmas lights are. We spent so much time on them

. Sounds like we are surrounded by areas getting blizzard warnings. So far we are in a hole of that type of storm. I have absolutely NO desire to step foot outside anymore today. The fight with the hot tub cover that was blown off put me in a bad mood and it sounds like a freight train even in the house. Oh well, it could always be worse than it is so I'm gonna try to be thankful it's not!

Wow, that's nasty. Sun is shining here in Bremerton with just a light breeze. I think we escaped the storm this time. But I've seen cars with quite a bit of snow. They must be from Seabeck which always gets the white fluffy stuff. My DH gets so bummed, the poor baby.

1:00am Diane wakes me just to say that she can't breathe because the power is out and her breathing machine won't work. Too bad suck it up. I got week old chicks in the barn. So I go and hook the little generator to run the heat lamp for the babies. Then head over to the stables to get my jump pak and hook up her breathing machine. OK so now Diane was plugged back in and could breath. I set down in the recliner so I can go check on the chicks in a little while. Well 6:14 I woke up when the power came back on I went out to transfer power for the chicks. DANG IT the little generator failed sometime during the night. I knew I should have hooked up the big gen. Will have to wait and see if it had a negative result on the little ones. Ya can't put a price on good times!!!!

Yeah, the generator thing is less than perfect, isn't it? My BIL had six sows in farrowing crates during the ice storm last January and was working his rear off trying to keep them warm: he doesn't have a deep cycle battery back-up on the generator, so if it runs out of fuel or stalls out and he's not right there, all the temps start going down.

I need to move everything to the back porch, and probably won't be ready until after Christmas if today is typical- I went charging around and took care of everything outside and then when I got in my BG was at 83 and the GHC website is down again (several of the things I needed to do today involved that website, too :rolleyes: ) so I can't discuss the matter with my doc.

Except by telephone, but that never works well.

I will think about taking a loan only not today as today is one of those when I'm dashing in and out to get ork done without getting merely damp all the way to the skin.
