Ah! Can't travel today.

Not immediately.  Telephone installation.  I have no idea when that might be.  I best keep my phone nearby and such.  Oh, and I could look for the various jacks.  I know there is one in the kitchen.  I think there is on in the bedroom, perhaps both bedrooms.  I would like to check the bathrooms.  Not terribly sure I want a phone in bathrooms.  Then again, if your luck is like mine?  It's when I am in there that I receive calls.  It makes one wonder if companies think they are funny or cosmic alliances try to be so.

I have two phones, currently.  Nothing fancy with them.  However, they are corded start to stop, no open air communications.  If they want to bug me, they'll have to do it the newer old fashioned way.  It used to be that they had to literally attach something to the phone.  Now, more often than not, they can simply splice the lines and listen in at their leisure.  Well, and if you transmit over the air, they can grab that.  My bet is they don't even bother with judges when they listen to the airwaves.  I wouldn't even say they are playing fast and loose.  I believe our government has completely disregarded judicial oversight (if in some cases rightly, that is breaking the system).  At this point the government is weaponized against us and the judiciary, through it's own corruptions and overreach, has crippled itself and seems to be insisting on going all the way.  Just telling you.

I might have time to pick up the meat that was ordered, or not.  If so I will, and might make it on in for that last little bit of shopping.  I opened a tin of butter, nice to have, but it's... not as good as fresh butter.  Powdered milk just... doesn't cut it.  It would be an emergency staple, nothing more.  Yeah, I'll get in either today or tomorrow.  Oh, and I should check on the hog.  I don't know if I will do lamb again.  It was great, but a bit pricey.  Pork and beef, and now I am adding chicken a bit more, for meats.  I'd love fish, but what I can trust is out of my daily-driver pricing.  To get something that doesn't "pass" through China (which means... they can't be trusted, it is just as likely stuffed with their own poison-water caught fish)... it's $30 plus per pound for that.  Maybe a quarterly treat, no more, I have decided.

I just wish I could figure out fishing.  A week up there, a month... camping and eating from my freezer... would allow me to catch trout.  Have to avoid some waters though, they require you to take lesser fish... no catch and release on some.  Can't guarantee trout take.  So be it, but I'll fish where I can make that choice.  If I could get to fishing, and get good enough at it.  *shrug*  If I had a friend to go on fishing trips with, that would help.  Though... maybe even not then?  Camping and fishing, cooking out there and all else, is... a bit of effort.  Once it's down, though, perhaps... it might be more doable?  Hmm... I might, actually, know someone.  If I could afford the extras and gas, and he could talk his wife out of his presence for a bit or to go with...  Could be.  I might check on that.

Oh... on to... something.  Later.
