Happy Tuesday Nor-Cal. Called the transmission shop yesterday, they didn't answer. Maybe they were closed like the local elementary school for some reason. Anyway, their website has a "contact us" option, so I will see if they reply to emails.

Already gone. Kids in the family love meat loaf. Once the word was out that there was meat loaf ........ I didn't have anything left.
Making stew today. Meat and potatoes. I don't add any water or other liquids. The meat and veggies cook in their own juices. The potato starch thickens it. It's better than the stuff in a can.

Before tariffs kicked in, I bought some pants from Amazon. Just khaki colored work pants. Nothing special. Generic brand name I've never heard of. $3.64. Total of $3.95, with tax, and free shipping.. According to the order tracking, they shipped the pants from New Jersey. I don't know how they do it. I have a feeling that if I don't buy whatever is cheap, right now, that everything will go up in price soon. I'm the kind of guy who still has a pair of Levi's from high school. How long would these pants have to last for them to be worth it? At what point would I get my money's worth? A few months? Half a year? 1 year?

$3.64 for a pair of pants? even if they only last a month, you got your money's worth. I usually buy clothes at a thrift store, and pants are more than $3.64 there. So, getting new ones for that price is a heck of a deal.

There’s no way I’ll fit in high school 501s ,
out spraying poison oak up on the hill , the oak I sprayed last year is dead same with blackberry and Thistle, but for some reason other spots came back with a vengeance, it might be the Turkeys spreading it , spring Turkey is on , but they also keep the Tick population down , maybe I’ll get a herd of goats to roam the hills that’ll do it .
