Mama Cando – Congrats on your new water heater 🙂
Columbia River – I’m sorry your shoulder is still giving you trouble. I hope it will feel much better very soon!
Muffy1938 – Great quote!
The past several days I’ve been busy helping a friend move into his new home. I couldn’t do much lifting but could at least drive his back-up vehicle – so that reduced the number of trips he had to make back and forth between his old and new residences. I’ve also been reading and judging submissions in a science-fiction writing contest sponsored by a club to which I belong. So, I haven’t had as much time to prep as I usually do. However, I did buy some more DAK canned hams this week when they were on sale for $3 U.S. each (at CVS drug store of all places, lol). I’ve also been negotiating with an eBay seller to (hopefully) buy a used Black and Decker 8-slice toaster-oven inexpensively that I can modify to make into a DIY tea-light oven for (carefully!) baking and roasting food indoors if the power goes out. I decided to try to get a used extra-large toaster oven for that DIY project so I can use normal 9″ x 13″ pans in it instead of having to purchase special cookware for it.
