A few things.

.

The steak seems good.  So, I am leaving it to warm for an hour, then will dice and fry it.  I am hungry.  Might make italian dressing (vinegar, oil, and spices and herbs de jour).  Though... all together, or one as a side?  Maybe a bit of both, if hungry enough.

The other thing is a few vids about a tool.  Not one of the old standbys, a newer tool to me.  But not completely new.  I've used it several times, perhaps many times on the lower end of that pool.

The oscillating tool, cutter, sander.  No, it's not my favorite tool?  But, for what it does well, it is nearly indispensable.  It is sort of a gimmick tool, like a dremel.  And yet, like the dremel, sure comes in handy on a few specific tasks... if you can get it to work.

It came up that the tool will be needed for some things.  I just wanted to see if there was anything out there, about how to use it, more information about the various accessories, and such.  So I found a few vids that seemed to give me data I appreciated.  Thought I would share those.

Then, a video I watched before.  Not certain I embedded it here.  Though I have shown other videos of hers here.  In this case, it's about old time beds.  Which, on it's own, is interesting.  I always thought of old time beds as... probably... horror stories.  Bugs to hay to feathers poking through, smell and else.

I'm not a true history buff?  More of... a tech buff?  Or a social tech buff?  How people lived, how good or bad things really were, and so on.  From figuring out how to obtain enough water for a day to day life, in old cities or even out on the farm.  This is just one of those things.

If my interest isn't purely academic.  I am more interested in practical applications, just in case the world shuts down in ways we have never known even in my lifetime.  From keeping food cool without electricity to drilling holes without power tools let alone cordless drills, to how to figure out how to sleep on a slim budget, without access to manufactured mattresses.  Though, to a degree, I am already doing that.  So long as I could obtain cotton and had cloth, ticking is it?  Or something to sew together, then into which to stuff the cotton.  My mattresses are literally cotton stuffed into a cotton sack.  The cotton they used, for the stuffing, has been cleaned and processed... not quite woven, but combed and compressed, so as to be more solid.

Anyway, that's a bit of what I am doing today, or sharing from past and present things.

Cold.  It's down to thirty.  But that feels so much cooler, after days, weeks, in the 40s to 70s.  Plus the snow, adding moisture to the air.  Hoping some hot food will help.  I'll have some of the diced fried steak, hot and alone, I think.  Maybe have some lemon on some of it, at the end?  Maybe.  If hungry, after the first load, I'll make a salad.

Later.
