Productive day today
Got a couple loads of firewood in and filled the bin on the porch -- that will last a week with a fire every night. Also got a bunch of hay and mineral blocks out to the critters -- they are weathering the winter just fine. I have two stock tanks (water) near the house with heaters in them and our local farmers co-op is getting some really nice fresh hay so they are fat and happy. Bored stiff since the ground is covered with snow and ice but fat and happy. The straw on the barn floor is going to make incredible compost in 2014.
Lulu candled my ears -- first time for me and it was an interesting experience. I have problems with lots of ear wax and the candles removed a lot of it -- I'll be trying this once every other week for a while and see what happens. Wasn't expecting all the sound effects -- popping and roaring. Felt really good.
Fixed dinner -- marinated, grilled and sliced chicken breast with Kalamata olive pasta (from
here) saut�ed with shallots, garlic, capers, green peas and diced marinated artichoke hearts. We both cleaned our plates.
Been shopping for various firearm kibbles and bits and really sickened by the sudden increase in price and decline of availability. Simple parts like a magazine for one of my pistols is Out of Stock from several vendors. Ammo that was $90 last summer is now $170. Investing in precious metals indeed...
