Chores.  Easily.  I still need to redo the waterers.  But some are little used and quite frozen.  I doubt if that will happen tonight.  But one group is ready to go in the morning.  Hmm... I must just refresh the girls' water tonight with what was brought in.  They seem to really love it cold and fresh.  I do like tending the critters, even when it hurts.  Serving, I think, is the point... to all of it.

A shower was taken.  No shave, probably won't shave tonight.  Perhaps another trim, then a shave, tomorrow?  Dishes haven't been set up, either.  Yet.  I think that may happen.  Trash?  Recycling?  Neither barrel has much.  Nor is  there much indoors... technically.  So, perhaps not that tonight.  Or... maybe.  At least trash.

I did get the tools arranged for work tomorrow.  I may need to grab a few supplies, another tool, and power.  But... what I had in mind is completed.  I will also be setting chicken feet and some pork hocks out tonight.  I mix them, if the vast majority will be chicken.  I simply believe that any one thing misses some other things.  Pork, beef, chicken, lamb, etc... it all mixes and melds better, in parts or portions, than any single meat... or fish.  I am not sure I will use it all, and I am not sure these are single use items.  Or so I have heard.

Anacin, nuts, and kefir is going down.  The heart really is a bit sore tonight.  Still, not doing too badly, if a bit slow.  I think all I have left is getting trash out, recycling out, and starting dishes.  I really think that may be possible.  Thawing some of the chicken feet and pork hocks is just bonus... and incentive to get the chicken stock done tomorrow.

It is staying around 20 degrees F.  I thought it warmed a bit, but for a very short period.  If it is 20 currently, it may well drop to a harder freeze later.  Or not.  You just never know for certain up here.  I am still expecting some snow, perhaps a lot.  As a final flourish?  Or a sign of things to come?  We didn't have a normal summer last year.  It wasn't a terrible spring, just an early fall then winter.  Imagine if those two seasons rub the last of summer out.  Maybe not this year, but it is probably coming.

The funny thing is, if they think they can adjust the weather?  Even if they are correct?  That has nothing to do with the climate, only a matter of directing that.  What do I mean?  You can't pull heat out of a cold fire.  There has to be a source, without it, no adjustments to it will work.  *wink*  I'd prepare to hunker in, hunker down, and pray the worst of it comes in a generation or two.  Then again, the sun can spin on a God dime.  Or not.  Amen.  Ah, from the year my home was built...

Oh, a couple of recipes which caught my fancy.  I am sure the first is keto friendly.  The last is absolutely not.  But it could be made to be so.  Successfully?  Might be worth a shot.

Oh, and now I have a possible source for pig blood.  I have been... hankering for that, for a number of foods.  Oh, well, yes.  I... know I am different.  So be it.

Later, or good night.
