One more task for the day, of a business nature.

As I suggested, a grain mill has been on the list for a very long time.  Initially I was going with a manual mill, but a bigger better one.  Then I started reviewing electric mills, for practical daily use... at least while electricity lasts.  Given the options, costs, and upcoming costs, plus having found my credit card balance getting near nubs, I decided to forge ahead on that today.  I ordered an electric, WonderMill is the brand, though Nutrimill would have been fine.  The one I chose just happened to be $20 cheaper today.  Other than that, the slight differences between them just doesn't matter.

I will hold off on the mechanical mill until after I return from my trip to Texas, and assess the damages.  I might buy it right away, just to get it done, if I have the coin.  If not, or it's too close, or over the line, I will buy later in the spring.  However, next month, I will buy spelt and probably some other wheat, for general use, and begin grinding and freezing.  Well, and when that begins, I hope to set up a sourdough starter.  I also ordered some of the truly heavy smartwool, mens, over-the-calf hunter/hiker socks.  Mine, after a decade or two now, have started to truly wear down.  I also have liner socks that I will be using with the good socks from now on.  It might add even more life to them, or maybe just better life?  Last no longer, just more full?  Time will tell.

Finally, after years, I will have a wheat grinder, of some kind.  Ugh.  Busy day.  Later.
