So what did you put away this week?

Use the big old fat onesb with beans and they good eats!

 

what about letting the beans fully mature and hulling and drying the bean seeds? like the bagged dried beans in the grocery?

Nothing this week but a 50# bag of taters. The budget has snapped.

Been waiting on people to make payments on a spinning wheel (been 4 months, but expected to have to wait) and a loom (been over a year now). This is likely the last time I make any sales on credit just because someone's a friend.

 

Falcon, when you say "dilly beans" is that the same as pickled beans ? it's been a looong time ago, but I've had pickled green beans & liked them. Can't think of any recipe that i've seen for them tho. wanna share the recipe ? thanks.

Assorted sharpening stones I bought at a rummage sale

 

I built a masonary Smoker i can put my BBQ grille into to grille with gas or wood. The neighbor cut down a Pecan tree and an Oak and I got all the wood under 3". Cut and stacked it for the smoker. Loaded a hundred rounds of .308 and .45. Bought more T Paper. Planted 10 tomato plants, 12 potatoes, and 7 brussel sprouts, all seeded from the cutting board. Stocked up on bass guitar strings, and worked on my bicycle generator. Bought more low sodium canned food. Two extra bike tires and a air pump. Ordered a RMS gas powered .22 air rifle.

 

Stacked 4 cords of wood in my shed for the winter...we heat with wood...

Loaded another 200 rounds of .45 ACP. Now I'm nearly out of primers and bullets - a trip to Sportsman's Warehouse is in order!
Still got plenty of brass to load.

But, I have more handgun ammo stored now than ever before. It's a good feeling.

 

This looks fun!
