JAKE COLLISSON - PORK BUTT - DOUGLAS A-26 B - PREPARATIONS - PINE NEEDLES

Jake Collisson rocks. Ten year-old guitarist owns the crowd. Fun to watch and the kid can play the guitar in front of 30,000 fans. Watch till the end. Heartwarming and the music is awsome.

SET IT AND FORGET IT

Crockpot overnight boneless pork butt.

Ten hours on low. Salt, pepper and a little chicken broth.

Pulled pork at its best. Leftover broth covered the above pulled pork (after photo) and "it's what's for dinner" for the next two nights. Pulled pork street tacos. Full of flavor, very little effort and the cost reasonable in today's market place.

A Beautiful Douglas A-26B.

 A Reasonable Approach to Coming Times.

"..... means you must start thinking about your preparations. That does not mean you go out with guns and violence.  That means you get what matters in food, water in containers, some fuel and the ability to not have to go anywhere for a few months."

Thoughts from Lame Cherry (above)

September 1st today and I am again repeating the same thoughts as each month passes and the next month begins. I am holding my breath and wondering if we are going to make it through this month now.  This will be a 2024 pivitol month I believe.  I am seeing mostly EOTW headlines and stories across all of the blogs I visit and media sites I pass through.

JIBBER JABBER

Temperatures "cooling" here, a stationary front has parked over Dallas and McKinney and odd that there is no associated weather with that frontal system and low pressure area. We have higher percentages of rain forcast each day but nothing yet. Still humid with the lower temperatures. 

Green pepper plants offering last of this seasons fruits. Canteloupes have been the best ever. Like eating sopping wet candy. Lawns are all but dead due to lack of rain and the damn pine needles are piling up faster than I can keep up with the raking and removing. I will admit that the morning workouts, moving pine needles, are an upside for staying active. And the yards look wonderful for two days.

This photo is a hint of what it looks like all around the yard with pine trees. Nasty. 

AND, and the Ryobi 40V big battery leaf blower works wonders. I have gone through three batteries on a normal morning blowing (dry) needles into rows for raking. I would truly be in a world of hurt if it were not for that tool. Has paid for itself a hundred times over. Check out this weekend pricing. Maybe a good deal worthy of a trip to town.

Appreciate the visit this weekend. You know the drill.
