A special interest group called ( the government of Fire Department ) is imposing $1000 fines to all who has Weeds , and brush piles , in the city they are going after people with poppy’s in their front yard, now you will get fined $1000 for having more than 5 unrelated people in your Garage, not including the homeless guy sleeping in the corner, that’s Ok.speaking of Manteca’s Finest, they’ve been setting a lot of Fires lately, and the fire department , nor County will give me a burn permit , I will Not Comply, I will Not be Injected , I sure hope these voters come November, remember all the tranny people in office, other than that , working with my 83 year old father in law , love the time together , hate the sloooooooooooow movement , it’s ok , he’s giving all he got , and he still remembered how to run the Tractors , that alone is priceless , the Farm , his domain, now I need to do the same around my Ranch , almost missed the link for May , thanks Jim and hope all is well in the Homestead .
lets see , the New Truck is good , I don’t have Trailer lights , the dealer mech said it could be a short in the connection , one minute the dash tells me , trailer disconnected , and the other say Trailer connected , I do the manual get out and check the back , and nothing , Fords better idea on this one is , the plastic bed liner when full of rain water , dumps out the tailgate , yep you guessed it , right on the 7 and 4 way plug in , that bed liner is gone , and I paid for a spray in bed liner , I hope they didn’t plug my weep holes in the bed .

It's mostly large processors. Smithfield, Cargill, Tyson..... So fast food chains, large chains and big box stores..... It all depends on where you are, what's available in the area, and if you are willing to do a little more leg work. In SF, we have plenty of small butchers who don't move enough volume to get products from large suppliers. So they are fully stocked by unaffected small suppliers. We get a lot of Yosemite and Harris Ranch. Plenty of poultry from Petaluma. My local Italian, Chinese, and Latino corner stores are fully stocked with meat. We also have Asian & Latin market chains like Pacific Super, Chavez Market, and 99 Ranch. Unmarked white box trucks. Could be illegal meat? And they are still getting deliveries of live fish. Tilapia, catfish, trout....No shortage.
Safeway, Lucky, Foodsco....All out of flour, $3.99 5lb bag. Along with yeast, baking powder, etc. Costco has pallets of flour, $10.99 50 lb bag. Costco is restricting meat, and shelves are empty. Grocery stores vary. Some stores have meat, some don't. Some stores are still out of toilet paper. Some have pallets.

Hey guys. Hope all is well with y'all and y'all's families. Smokie and I are doing good. I spent some time today making some ground cables for a couple of "Brush Rigs" or small fire engines that I got donated to our volunteer fire association. Of course they're Fords!
I'm about to head over to the folks to have some smoked ribs that my brother is cooking up. Should be yum yum.
Don't forget you can order steaks directly from Harris Ranch here in CA. https://www.harrisranch.com/product/ribeye-steaks/
Personally, I stocked up at the local family owned grocery store. They knock about 30% off the retail pricing on their meats to first responders. I qualify through the volunteer fire association. My freezer is loaded.
