    Anyone have a Freeze Dryer?

    Well the sellers seem to think so... Properly done food can last 25 years, so stuff done now might outlast us. Most stuff we put in jars or zip-lock bags, but have mylar bags for long term storage. You can do complete meals to, just add hot water and eat... great for hiking and camping.

    The cost of living - COL.

    If you have canning jars you can fill them, toss in an O2 absorber and they will actually seal and be good for years... works on any dry goods.

We had a couple acres wired. Ours had flags to show the boundary so the dogs can see it to begin with. Get close and...

    Have you ever made the zipper maneuver?

    Many drivers are AFI.... Absolute (F)ing Idiots... Perfect example we witnessed last year on I-40 in WNC... We are coming down the mountain and traffic was moving fine coming up... at the very bottom of the mountain traffic was backed up for several miles. Didn't see anything like a wreck...

Most of my 36 years was 4 nights Fri-Mon, off 3 days, then the tough one... 72 hours in 7 days, 3 on days, off one, then 3 nights. Then 4 days Mon-Thur, with the...
