Wouchies!

It is not hot. It is fry me weather. And I am not alone. The temps seem to be saying it is only in the 90's, but for some reason if feels much hotter. Perhaps the temps are getting up faster, staying longer, and the nights are not cooling off as much. Whatever the reason, the visit to town was cut shorter today. I simply could not keep it together.

I did stop in at the coop and buy a couple of bundles of various grains for breakfast alternatives, lunch, and other experiments. I bought several textures and types of grain, and will be figuring them out soon enough. I also visited the local outlet for food stores. It is really great. Beyond the capacity to buy in bulk, bringing my own 5 gallon buckets all set up or I can buy empty #10 cans there and they will pack those, with the necessary bits that help maintain the contents. So, I will be looking over prices, soon, and deciding what they have is of interest, how best to pack it, and such. The white rice is out. I will simply have to buy brown rice and store it in 5 gallon buckets myself. White rice is deficient in too much of what would be vital in a SHTF scenarios. Everything else looks good.

I then called my friend, to see if he wanted to be a man about town. Sointenly, Curly! Or, was it Moe? Well, I could have sworn that is what he said. Oh, a wiseguy? Says I. Anyway, we went to Wal-Mart, to look at their wheelbarrows. All plastic tubbed, so a no go. I had stopped at Lowe's earlier. They have steel tubs, but they come as kits. I saw the price for the tubs, between $44 and $165, but not for the kits. Perhaps that was all included, just not assembled, but if so there was no indication of that on the price. The one guy working out there did not seem to speak English. O... kay... Then we went to a bread shop, which also serves as a deli. A sandwich sounded good, and it was. Beef on a rye or pumpernickel bread, with nice veggies and a horseradish mayonnaise mix for an added touch. I also bought a couple of loaves of half and half wheat/white bread.

After that, though, I was shot. I could not even figure out what I wanted to do next. It was simply too hot. So, I took my friend to his house, suggested we go shooting some time this week, and headed home myself. I am still a bit too warm to do too much. I figure a quick shower, change into shorts, and some chill time before I do much more. We will see if I can get to anything until I do chill.

Later.
