A bit.

Food prep is done.  Eggs and goop are cooked and put up.  Plus I pickled the last two half gallon jars of eggs.  Oh, and I tried the first batch of pickled eggs, as they were ready, according to instructions plus given a day extra just in case.  They are good.  But when I pickled the rest of the eggs, I went without pickling spice.  It produces a sweet taste I don't like, much like what is in sweet relish.  Hmm... ought to see if there is some other spice mix I could add.  Not sure it's necessary.  Not sure either way.

Goop with the remaining hamburger patties, a few pickled eggs, and a few eggs that otherwise didn't make it through the shelling process.  Yeah, food is good.

Not sure what is wrong, but I am feeling ill again today.  I'm noticing the symptoms creep in.  Slower today, but noticing it earlier.  I am going to finish the laundry, I believe, and call it a night.  After more reading.  Too hot.  I'll have to use my ac and fan again, I can tell.  Not sure what is happening, but it's not helping my plans.  Wait... I better stay awake long enough to get to the post office.  Lots of things are in, more on the way.  I... yeah...  I'll stay up for that.  I need to get into town, hiking, grocery shopping you know, maybe my free and easy meal... but... not this morning.  Hmm, actually, I only eat out if I do a bunch of shopping or go hiking, or have worked.  No work/exercise, no treat.  When I get into town, if it's early enough, I'll just make sure to take my pack.

I did investigate food dehydrators.  The one I had in my cart was just an open air one.  Which, around here, much of the year, would be fine.  Not so much in the monsoon season, though perhaps with a fan to bolster.  But it would have been limited.  So... I went looking at the electric ones.  Not a bad price, a dozen dollars more, with very good reviews and many of them.  So... it's in the bag instead, though I did order a number of extra trays, and tray baskets types.  I also looked at vacuum sealers.  I found one that I added, but won't buy, for a couple of months.  Dehydrate, then seal, for longer packing trips.  Well, and just around the cave.  It would be good to be able to make the food I like, control volume, do it at once, give or take, as I am not but on simpler food, then package by meal.  Not sure I have that, but I can definitely save on pack food.

Well...  I suppose I should get to the laundry.  Might as well run another load, if there really is enough, of synthetics or wool.  I like being, mostly, caught up.  More dishes now, but few and bit, and already soaking... probably ready for a wash, rinse, and could be caught up there completely.  I need to hit the floors soon, too.  Sam just... has to vomit.  And dust just has to sprinkle.  I'll keep at it.  Later, probably.
