Obviously, the hotel has laundry service.

Never seen rhubarb except in season and fresh, in a grocery store. A friend of mine cans it but I have no idea how she uses it. I knew a small farmer that would sell rhubarb, to the local grocery stores, as one of his crops. I gave my neighbor a couple of starts.

When you harvest make sure you pull and twist, as shown in the video, post 11. If I have to live on rhubarb it will be a very sad day but as something to enhance the variety of your diet it is fantastic. It is also something to extend things like strawberries in pies and jams. I dice up my...

I sat on a murder trial once. The defendant had shot another guy in the back. Both witnesses, one being a Trooper, told the same story. If it had been in our power we would have locked up the prosecutor. The other witness was the man whose life the defendant saved.

I have old canning jars from half pint to half gallon. I wouldn’t risk them by canning but most have the glass tops and I have gaskets in case I want to use them for canning. A half pint I keep my cinnamon in. Other sizes get appropriate dry ingredients in them. Half a gallon of dry beans...

That would be tincture of barley.

I’ve never seen a Mason jar that you couldn’t pressure can. Most of my Mason half gallon jars are antiques I’ve picked up over the years. I use them for dried foods like beans, rice, barley, etc. If someone has a link to recipes for the half gallon size I would appreciate it. I could see...

I’ve sat on every type of jury the State of Alaska has. I’ve declared people guilty, not guilty and dead. When I turned 70 I got a permanent exemption.

Little bugger is looking for a mate. The metal is louder and he claims a bigger territory

We got a whale in our net back in my commercial fishing days. Catching a moose in a sticky net would be worse. In the first case we just pulled the remains of our net and went back to town spending the rest of the week on net repair. Trying to free an angry moose…no thanks!

I’m pretty sure those are posted around here somewhere.

Yes, I have changed out the computer in my Jeep. If you have a truck more than ten years old you will have to get one out of the junkyard. You will need the motherboard, the ignition switch, and another computer that I don’t remember. They will have to be re-programmed to your vehicle serial...

Is a friend that disrespects you and your vote, really a friend? I drive my wife to the precinct to vote, and we never vote the same. I don’t like the way she votes but it is her ballot.

Steve is the master of entry level how to books. I have a handful of them but a complete set would be a valuable addition to any prepper library.

Neither are choices I would currently make. In my youth I was a liberal, if I can remember correctly that far back. Because I don’t want anyone making my decisions I have no interest in making the decisions of others. If you agree with your dad on most things then you and I agree on many...

That is an awful lot of people for one small haggis.
