Other Cindi, you are beautiful, lady!! I love your bubbly personality and kind spirit
THAT is what matters
The tornadoes are adorable aren't they
They're a mess for sure
I/we eat the poppers fresh and frozen, so we had a lot of them yesterday and I am freezing a lot more for later. DH and the neighbor loves them, well...and DD all of a sudden, so we'll be making several dozen of those yet. I have a few pounds of peppers left to slice and prep and freeze. That's what i'll be doing today since I have a day off from hauling stuff, though i did just haul 1200 more pounds of steel before the yard closed
The rest of the day is MINE and I intend on using it wisely. DD is working in the garden, by choice, without being asked, sooooo....if the world isn't ending I will be making pepper poppers
On another note. The crane counterweight is packed with punchout. That is small round pieces of steel, rather than a solid core for weight. So, we can haul quite a bit without using any fuel for the next little while. A 5 gallon bucket full is 150 pounds. I took 8 buckets today. And that is not even close to knocking much of a dent in it. That counterweight is massive, and there is another 3x4 foot section of it we haven't accessed yet that is hollow and packed with punchout too
This coming week will be much easier, much faster, and MUCH better
The only bad aspect is I have to unload by hand because the magnet will pick up everything and I need my buckets
Still though, I am thankful!
I'll have to wash with vinegar here shortly to get the burn off. Here's a pic of the poppers
