What Did You Do Today?

Clint, how do you use the remote to tiller? Is that your secret tool?

I wish.  I need background noise while I work.  I listened to the movie Alamo while I worked today.

Don't let that ol' Outlaw fool ya, he uses that remote to burnish the limbs.  Yup, battery operated burnisher.

Clint, lotta fun chasing those hollowed out growth rings, huh?

Cooked a nothing from the store meal today, well, almost nothing. Deer liver and onion gravy, fresh corn, zipper peas, fried squash and fried green tomatoes from the garden. A friend's wife makes the best Mexican corn bread on the planet, some of which I had vacuum sealed in the freezer, toasted me a piece in the toaster oven. It was the one thing I had with the meal that was from the store, along with a little onion and some cooking oil.

Sounds good to me

[Stringman]

Love doin that in the summer when the garden and freezer is full!

Another country living perk; Blueberries right out of my patch turned into bluebery pancakes. Nothing like them, with a good cup of coffee and a deer sausage patty, mighty good!

[bubby]

[paulsemp]

[PEARL DRUMS]

Im going to set targets at Elm Hall after work today. The work is all worth it when the people start pouring in and enjoy every minute of it.

OK, I achieved a milestone today, I walked by two draw knives at a flea market today and didn't even ask what he wanted for them. In the past if I could get one for $10 I would take it home with me. Took way too many rough  draw knives home with the intention of putting new handles on and refurbishing them. It is harder to turn new handles on my lathe and get them to match that I thought it would be.

My name is Eric and I am a drawknifeaholic.

Today was pick cabbage from the garden and make sauerkraut day. I cut up 9 heads of cabbage. I use sea salt at a rate of 2 teaspoons per pound of cabbage. Iodized salt is not a good idea they say.









All tucked in right under the AC vent where it will stay about 68 degrees. Tomorrow I'll pack it into quart mason jars and cap it snug. That keeps air, dust, and bugs out of it. I'll store it in the basement where it's about 68 degrees I'll pop the caps every day for a week or so to let the gas escape and add salt water if it needs it. You need to keep the cabbage submersed. In 5 or 6 weeks I'll cook it up and can it. I'll get about 12 quarts out of the 9 heads. Came out to 11.5 quarts packed very tight.
