I had to chuckle a little bit,
The amount of pick-up's that actually do pick-up things make me laugh anymore . Seems like if you have a PU you also need a trailer. Heaven forbid you put stuff in the skimpy, high off the ground box of the PU.
Yeah, I'm a boomer I guess, and stay off my lawn too.
Cheers,

Here's my lawn and one of the groundskeeping staff. BTW my pickup has 359,000 miles and does pickup stuff every time it leaves the house. Today that's taking a load of trash to the county dump. I'm also a very proud Boomer. These young whippersnappers will never experience half the stuff we've gone through.

When we bought this house I gave my lawn equipment to my son, I will never need to mow my rocks here. Very nice roses, that a plant I have never had any success with.

pretty much have ignored them for years, they just turned out like this

our 1 indoor plant is perpetually dying, yet survives despite my best efforts to kill it

Seems people have stopped taking pride in how to properly dispose of a body.

Very sad

I wonder if his name is Phil?

When we first bought our house I built a patio with those exact same pavers. After several MN winters, that patio started looking like a roller coaster from the frost heaving. But up until then they looked nice.

Bet they'll last longer in your location.

Phil? Phil Conners?

Speaking of roller coasters. The view from one of my daily hikes.

We had to visit the county seat today (renewing license plates) and my wife wanted to visit her mom in the care center there. While waiting for my wife I went to the storage unit, a few blocks away, where we stored a lot of stuff from my parents’ house when they went into senior housing. I hadn’t been there in awhile and thought I should do some inventory to see if this stuff really needed to be saved. I found these two small paintings in a box inside a plastic tote.

My dad was a commercial artist and illustrator from 1949-1960, in Denver, CO. We moved back to the farm in early ‘61. Dad saved a lot of the artwork he did while working on advertising layouts. I thought we had saved everything that wasn’t just a rough sketch. These looked worthy of framing, even though they were probably done quickly (they’re acrylic paint on cardboard) just to show the same scene in different lighting. I’m sure we’ll find someplace to display them (as if we need more stuff at this point in our lives ).

Future beer labels for you?

Or Earl.

I thought of that, although a brewery on the Frozen Tundra of MT doesn’t have a lot in common with the desert SW. Although, “Dad’s Painted Desert Pale Ale“ has kind of a nice ring to it.

There are carving sets and then there are carving sets…

I used this one to disassemble an 11lb ham today. 10 guests, they put a pretty good dent in both the ham and my keg of Blonde Ale.

Yesterday it was at 1000 acres, this morning it's grown to 19,000 acres.

As of last night, it was over 130,000 acres and 6% containment. And 25-40 mph winds are not helping anything

Uh oh...

How fast does salmonella set in, anyway?

Our jar made the list too. Luckily we hadn't opened it yet. Hopefully you won't be affected, but I wouldn't eat any more if I were you.

Hopefully it means you have shown that that particular container is bereft of malfeasance.

But the picture clearly shows, to any self respecting technically inclined EE/tinkerer/ocd person, you did not scrape the sides well enough.

If I had to guess we opened that jar two weeks ago. The Spousal Unit actually had an unopened two-pack in the cupboard with the affected date codes as well, which she returned just yesterday. That's when it dawned on me to check the code on the open jar. Whoops!

At this point I'd say whatever contamination got into the production was not uniform...

Typical incubation is up to 72 hours, although there have been cases reported of over 2 weeks. You may have gotten a non-contaminated bottle. It depends on where in the process the contamination happened. If it was a filler nozzle, it would only affect those bottles directly filled by the nozzle.

I'd still dump it if you haven't yet, the nasties might still be lurking in the bottom inch of peanut-buttery goodness.

We had 1.5 jars of JIf we discovered yesterday morning.

My daughter didn't quite understand why we couldn't have PB&J for breakfast. We did find a reserve jar of Skippy, which is okay.

 

[day_trippr]

Welp, The Spousal Unit had the last word (as always) and so I found the abovementioned jar in the kitchen trash.
"And that's that".

I grew up on Skippy but now it tastes like peanut flavored Crisco with excess sugar added.
I'd opt for local brand Teddies first and deal with stirring it...
