Costco bottles come to .76 a gallon. I was refilling 5 gallon jugs until the price got almost as high as the bottles.

Well water around Hermiston Oregon shouldn't be ingested now. Nitrates have contaminated the water table. The cities have to process their water now because of that. Umatilla used to just pump the well water to town from their 3 wells. The Mcnary well tasted great and a bit sweet. They had to...

Ours has way too much iron. I filter and it's ok for cooking and sweet tea covers the taste. Just drinking it sucks. The big packs of Costco water is the cheapest

I'm team Bison for tourist tossing season.

Careful use of a hammer here. Bit less than 2 hours to finish. Much of that was me not rushing because that compressor has frozen before so wanted it defrosted too

It's in the house or would absolutely do that. Dad has a mini fridge/freezer that Mom was trying to defrost outside last year. It was pretty solid and she complained. I told her to hose it. She did

Also had to reorder hubby's Tolvaptan. Every single month. Because of all the bloodwork for it, they don't do more than a month at a time. At least he's on the 3 months for the bloodwork instead of every month now. It can cause liver damage if you don't tolerate it and has to be stopped...

Defrosting the freezer is today's big chore. Everything in coolers and I'm just waiting for the ice to rot enough it breaks off easier

Camping section. They also have those fire lighters which are just big matches of paper and wax that last about 5 minutes. I use them for the firepit and brush. Burns long enough even damp blackberries will catch. They updated the packaging, this one is old.

I think this is a calliope hummingbird. We only have 4 species here and it looks similar to the pictures of the females I saw. Pulled out the actual camera and managed a picture of mama

Mama wasn't around. I was hoping to get her on the nest with the actual camera. I'll try again when it gets towards dusk

It's said that the veneer of civilization is only 3 days thick. Then it devolves quickly in cities.

The Fred Meyer has them here. Or at least they did. I have that brand in my first aid kit. Lifestraws go on sale on Amazon occasionally. We have 4. We've concidered a Berkey filter but they are costly. Only reason I have a small bottle of regular bleach is emergency purification and the rare...

Been there, done that for a week. Hardly slowed us down. Difference is that was winter with snow I could melt for showers. Now I'd have to haul water to filter for that use and the toilet. We lose power several times a year. Because we are rural but close to bigger city, we're way down on...

Sometimes wish hubby could back a vehicle. I always have to adjust the seat and do it. Needed to move the truck with the feed closer to the pens. He'd have moved it there but it would have involved forward gear and a couple 3 point turns and maybe spotting that close to house. I just backed it...
