Thank you all for such a wonderful time here.
But now I shall take my leave as I do not feel this is the best place for me to spend my energy or time.

Unlike those of lesser moral fibre, I refuse to skulk away in the night leaving you wondering.
The Straw Bosses know my reasons and they need not be enumerated here - ask them in your own time, privately.

Best of luck to you all, and may all your wishes come true.
Thanks for everything. -Jake

One on fleabay just like it too - $349 with a buy it now of $599.

Found a giant bottle each of gin and rum in the freezer behind all the cheese.

Time to come up with some more ACV variations 

I think it's going to get cold in late January and early February.

We're about due for another snow or ice storm....

Changed the furnace filters - hasn't been on yet this year but it's gonna get cold.

Cleaned the ceiling fans

Cleaned the oscillating fan that's up in the corner of the dining room and keeps the temperature stable in here

Grating up 2 more bars of Fels Naptha to make more laundry soap.

Spent the last 3 hours wearing winter gloves and gutting the fridge/freezer and cleaning it out/up.
Had planned to sleep in and rest all day, but this had to take priority.

Put all the ground meat I got yesterday in zip top bags, flattened it out and froze it.
We've been wasting entirely too much stuff by buying and then hiding it in the fridge.

New rule is if it's not for tonights dinner it gets re-packaged, dated, and frozen.

A better organized icebox will help with meal planning and cut down on un-necessary trips to the store too !
Once everything is solid and the temp is stable again I'll sort everything and stack by date.

The next step is to start making my own sausage and grinding my own meat - as inspired by Ggirl's podcast.


p.s. Found a lonely Bud Light in the back, so I had to end it's misery 

Sorry you lost her Bob.

Things always seem to go in cycles on the farm - hopefully this is the end of this one.

It's Galewhatshername Renee 

That's great news Johnny !

I wonder if colored inks are OK for them ?
Doubt they would try to eat the paper - just being paranoid out loud 

That's a great way to save money !

Here is a BoatGuy quote talking about Jakematic and I, but I did abbreviate it just a little.

smart...
  

  I know what three letters go where the dots are when someone usually use the word "smart" about me !

Cool! Are you saying to get her to install it for me?

  

Dunno about the tattoos - but they could give you one heck of a piercing !

Here is a pic of a cast iron sausage stuffer I scored for free!!

HOLY COW was that a score.
Flipping through the latest Lehman's catalog I see they have a similar model.

For $600

I take their weakness in resolutions and use it as my driving force
Just picking on you Jakematic

 

I just do it like Ggirl - I come up with goals and execute all year 

I've read a LOT about Netflix on Linux in the trade rags lately.
iTunes will probably never run on Linux natively - not sure about Wine.

Have a look at this Johnny:
