Internet was down.

Had to use my phone, in an attempt to contact the isp.  They are notoriously difficult to notify.  They hide.  I eventually called their hook-up line, and yeah.  They knew who I was, what the problem was, in spite of it not being a tech line.  Told me they were busy with "things" (give or take) until the morning.  So I went on to bed.

Set the alarms for six and nine?  Or so.  But woke at four so just rolled on out.  It was working, so I hopped on.  A few comments, so I got to those.  One was from far back, so had to be allowed.  All good.

Then, while writing those up, while I was thinking on it, I looked up the dates and times for some of the local farmer's markets.  I found the data for two of them, but a third one wasn't... clicking through.  I'll ask around.  That is where I might be much more likely to find meat that is both grass finished and fresh off the bone, not hung/frozen for extended periods.  Or... we'll see, but it is possible.

Now, all I want is, say, a sirloin roast, cut thick... a ribeye roast, cut thick, and burger.  The burger, to be honest, I want lean.  Unfortunately, or not, I can't really eat the fat in the burger.  For two reasons.  While cooking it, it runs off.  And, even when I can catch it, by using a pan?  I can't really tolerate that fat well.  So, if the cream doesn't offer enough fat, for my liking, I will just add butter, or ghee, or... such... after.  I just want to see if this is any better, and worth the extra money, for me.  Oh, perhaps also a chuck roast or two.

If worth it, I may consider going in with it.  But, to be honest, from what I can tell, I don't have histamine problems.  Though, if the flavor is worth it?  Maybe, just maybe.  And, if the price is only a twenty five percent more?  I may just do that... for the rancher, and my, sake.  I don't mind be a party to local ranchers surviving, thriving.  If I can afford it.

It was down to 79/77 upstairs, 71 in the main of the house, and 75 here near the computer (after running it for an hour or so.  Basically, a bit chilly.  But all good.  A shower before long.  Coffee.  And... more water?  I should put some of those twelve packs in the fridge.  When water is cold, I tend to drink less of it, and what I drink I drink more slowly.

On to other things.  Oh... I did get trash and recycling out.  I need to put some money on utilities soon.  Had some pans that were... becoming toxic.  Cleared those out, putting much of the nasty out with the trash.  Those are soaking a third time.  Yes, I knew.  I just... didn't... want to fuss.  Couldn't?  Ugh, nasty.  But... clearing off.  Thankfully, with the windows open, that... scoots fast.  Being an old bachelor ogre can... lead to misfortunes of said nature.

Later.
