SOME PROGRESSO OPTIONS 

So many times here  I have shared some of my reactions to news, real or false. Recently I have read, from several sources, that we are about 3 weeks away for store shelves becoming bare and suggesting to get what "you" want now. 

This throws me briefly into the toilet paper shortages of Covid. Ports along the west coast reporting empty of container ships. A fact? Most likely.

Any recovery from shortages will take months. 

While at Wallyworld the other day, I picked up a few cans of Progresso just because. Also tried one of their PITMASTER soups,

YUM

and was most surprised at flavor and contents. Yes, contains high sodium but the price ya pay. Sodium not a bad thing in a managed diet. Low sodium can lead to serious health problems.  All things in moderation a good dieting rule of thumb.

I did not see any vacant shelves on this recent shopping trip and Interstate 30 running east and west through our "backyard" is still streaming 18 wheelers. Shortages not today.

I have shared Progress before and not again pushing a product. Doctoring up a can of Progresso gives us a good bowl of soup each. Today is a good example as the weather is dreary and neither one of want to work at cooking. An upgraded can of soup is on the warm.

Having some of these cans on our shelves will be helpful and if these soups go up in price or become scarce, money well spent. Cannot hurt. Also testing these now will help us decide on further purchases.

SECRETARIAT fun fact 

Every horse in this year's Kentucky Derby is a decendant of Secretariat.

THE MOVIE 

We were discussing this story the other night which prompted us to again the watch the movie. A good story and wonderfully told.

JIBBER JABBER

Eight stitches in my chest from a quick out-patient cyst removal. Doctor said to refrain for normal activities due to the possibility of tearing open the stitches while I heal.  Tearing stitches and opening the wound will triple the healing time. I will opt for the 11 days and be a "good boy." So far so good and under good care of nursewifeoverseerdon'tdothat also.

Nice weather finally at son's homes in NH.

A good paired tool kit.

Back yard still holding some water from recent rains.

Planter boxes ready to place and fill. Wood from owner owned saw mill.

Appreciate the visit this week.
