Gooooode mawning masterful brothers and sister women of pulchritude! What a gaugus new morning in rainy Pacific NW Paradise!!

51F @ 66% RH, mo rain with 5 mph wind, and predicted to soar to 55F in the heat of the day.

I packed up my son's fishing gear that he left behind and shipped it to him in Louisiana. Geeezus, $276 boxing and shipping, plus another $50 for insurance. Happy 53rd birthday Son One.

Payback time, so I invited my Cordon Bleu chef friend for breakfast, and I will be fixing Cottage Eggs with accoutrements for him and Grayfox.

A dental appointment this afternoon to try and get this new upper plate right.
 
a rare sight around here

More coffee than alittle yard work before the heat hits.

I wonder how much it cost to charge your electric car up. Ford has the 150 electric trucks out. They are adverting all over the TV.
Never knuckle under , that is what they want you to think , everyone will run out and try and buy Ecars and then Gas prices will drop like a rock.......... A Mirical

Don't know anything about the new F-150's but when I was driving to Tualatin five days a week and bought our 2013 Ford Focus electric, our electric bill went up $50 and gas bill dropped $200. With no travel to Tualatin, our electric bill for a 1900 ft2 house and the Focus now runs less than $80/mo. with electric cooking and gas hot water and heating.

As a bonus, maintenance cost has been tire replacement and rotation for the first 50K miles.

We keep the 1995 Jeep GC for hauling and long trips, which required less than 1,000 miles the last two years. All of the rest of our traveling has been electric.

Maybe not. The existing national infrastructure is unable to support the existing load plus the cars, and once we start taking away the coal and gas fired electrical plants, as well as saving the Salmon by taking out all the hydroelectric dams, we will need more gasoline to run the home generators needed to keep the electric cars charged.

Take out natural gas heating and add that load to the electrical grid to further put it in perspective.

What is the overall plan, or are we working things out as they pop up??

A 4 pack costs 20 dollars ?
Inflation just wait until a bar draft beer costs 10 dollars


funny , but I just asked Swede how much do we pay for those 4 packs?

I asked her because I don’t hardly ever pay attention to price , if I want something I usually just buy it

Swede’s answer?

I don’t know , never really paid attention

we both cracked up and then I looked up the price of a 4 pack on Amazon

$17.99

we both laughed again and decided that the next time we are in the grocery store that we will pay attention and see what the price is
 
Sweet!

we would give that a try for sure

we have bough Fever Tree seltzer water with quinine in the past and it was good

our favorite is Q Tonic Water with quinine

we mix one bottle of Q with a freshly squeezed lime and a shot of Beefeaters gin and that is some good medicine

GW, what's a cottage egg? Inquiring minds need to know. :)

It was supposed to start raining at 07:00 this morning. I got the birds fed and looked out the window. Looked like it could rain any minute, but wasn't. Hopped on the tractor and blasted out my last two acres without one drop of rain to spoil it. Sometimes the Hippie wins one.

Currently making some hash browns for the Old Hen and me. Tried out a new mandolin that does a fantastic job of shredding potatoes and thumbs. Old Hen comes in and says, "Isn't this what you're supposed to hold the spuds with?" and shows me a little plastic contraption with spikes in it.

Yeah, now ya tell me.
