What did you accomplish today?

[DCcan]

I made authentic Pemmican once using Moose jerky, spices & Moose fat. Looked exactly like a slightly greasy brownie but, boy what a surprise for the taste buds - but talk about fuel for the body when it was below -50 deg.

That moose pemmican is good stuff, just stick a couple pieces in a pocket for gnawing on.
We figured 5000 calories a day once it drops to -30 to not lose weight. About double.

I know she a pet....... but just throwing this out there. A few years ago I was reading on the economics of raising farm animals. The article said rabbit is the only animal that will produce more meat through reproductive activity than it cost to feed them. I don’t know if it’s true or not but I thought it was funny and gave credence to the phrase “ screwing like rabbits “ .

Female rabbits have their periods once a week.
Give birth 4 weeks after conception (8 kits).
The babies are fertile 6 weeks after birth.
So 2 rabbits can tun into 200 rabbits in a year.

A second or third breakfast of chicken fingers on a breakfast sandwich with hot sauce and honey mustard kicks ass!

Dragged a couple totes of seaweed for the outdoor garden. Should of checked the tide clock.
Storm last week put rafts of it everywhere, not many creepy crawlies on it in winter.
Now I got to hit the brewery for sopping wet boiled grains, grab a bag of lime, turn over the compost pile.

Lunch time view, one of a few benefits I get with my job.

Rain stopped long enough to venture out and take a few pics of the carnage. Glad I wasn't grilling anything when the fence blew in.

Roxy is thinking WTF?

The smoker is to the right. Edit: It used to get stupid hot in the summer from radiant heat but I had a cool roof with insulation put on it, it's much better now.

I do! And you can too! It's a very diverse state, the ocean is only 3 hrs away.

White PVC, reflects most of the heat. It had a roll roofing torch down one before I had the house roofed, it is low slope. They attached poyliso insulated panels to the top also, really high R factor.

I have wondered if those leaf guard covers would shed snow.

You can play in the snow in the morning and lay on the beach in the afternoon here. It's not all Malibu.

Looks wet.

I want to go up in this area at some point. I'm so tired of looking at 50 shades of granite, pumice and schist looks soft to sleep on.

Why live where there's snow when paradise is only a few hours away.
