Last one was groceries, a butcher block slice package of cheese,
chedder and swiss about 12 bucks, a rip off.
But I switched the ham and turkey for a better brand it was about 4 dollars a pop.
Pretzels in a bucket about four dollars.
A few creamers, a few dollars.

Sum total about 60 dollars..

Scored me a 9 lb Cooks bone in ham yesterday for 8 dollars.

Reminds me of a story I heard a while back.

A husband asked his wife why she always cuts off an inch of ham from the front and rear of a ham before cooking it.

Wife responded, because my Mother always did that before cooking a ham

Then they asked the wife's Mother why she always cuts off an inch of ham from the front and rear of a ham before cooking it.

Her Mother said, because that's the what my Mother always did before cooking a ham.

Then they asked the wife's Grandmother why she always cuts off an inch of ham from the front and rear of a ham before cooking it.

The Grandmother said, because my pan was too small to fit all the ham in the pan.

Sweet!

I've been eyeing the hams but no bargains so far. Black eyed peas and ham is a must on New Years!

 

[Unforgiven]

Local store had them on sale for $0.79 / lb so I grabbed three and tossed them in the deep freezer.

 

[olbriar]

I'll look again today. I need to make a run anyway.

My local Jewel/Osco (Albertson's) has 10lbs hams for approx $5.90. That's really cheap

 

[olbriar]

Well dradt! Google can't find a brand of low sodium ham that is anywhere close to being low enough for me. Eat some ham for me boys.

My last purchase was Tom Ford Lost Cherry perfume for my sister. Also just got my hands on a game-changing purchase – the eroxon gel. Excited to try it out! It's incredible how convenient it is to buy eroxon gel online. The ease of purchase and discreet delivery made the whole process smooth. Looking forward to the positive effects. Anyone else had a similar experience with online purchases

I purchased this Mr. Heater the other day when I suffered a power outage. I need the heat to keep my parrot alive.

While looking for a pic to share of the little heater I bought, I saw pictures of the same brand heater that I have installed to heat my cabin. It's been excellent heat that's been in service for six or seven years now. After doing some research I ordered one for a far superior backup heat solution for my home. Instead of 8K BTU the bigger heater is 30K BTU. Instead of infrared it is a blue flame unit. Instead of one pound LP bottles I'll run the new heater on forty pound bottles. I hope to never need either of these heaters but having a backup will give me some peace of mind.

Ah a new clock for my room, it is minted Green circle and small fonts, like Herivica font on the clock, very nice and tidy too.
That and 110 dollars worth of groceries.

Please be sure you have plenty of ventilation (and a working CO detector) if using it indoors.
I’m sure you know that, Olbriar, it’s for others stumbling across the thread.

I have a CO detector already. The heater comes with an oxygen level detector but ventilation is a must. It's not designed for supplementary heat but an emergency backup heat source. I would like to think I never need to use it.

The heater I have at the cabin is basically the same unit. However, its fuel source is outside and plumbed into the heater. A far safer scenario than the fuel tank sitting inside with the heater. I would never advocate that but on an emergency situation.

they recently decided to ban gas appliances including stoves in all new construction in the USA

Can't have nice things because the idiots are too stupid to learn or die from their mistakes.

Adding a little bit of safety for roof excursions…

I was on a job once with an out of state general contractor and we had to wear a full body harness and tie off if we went up a 6 foot ladder.

 

[olbriar]

I think back on the many times I stood on top of a 12' A ladder to attach a level platform for a ceiling fan to be mounted to..... stupid!

In the past I haven’t been too concerned about a harness, but we have a split-level and I have a few tasks to do on the upper roof that will have me fairly close to the edge and it is a LONG way down to concrete (off of three sides; the fourth side drops onto our lower level). And I’m not as young or flexible as I once was, so I want that extra bit of insurance. I considered the full harness but since those attach in the back I wasn’t sure if I could attach to it once it was on.

I’ve fallen from a ladder once (just a couple of years ago, in fact), and though it wasn’t a great height, it reaffirmed my respect for gravity!

This is a pic from when I strung lights on the upper level, pretty close to the pitch. That’s a long drop…and it looks longer in person!

At the clinic today.. Gor for insurance covered a right hearing aid for free!

The only time I was knocked out as an adult was falling off of a ladder. It was a wooden two step ladder that I was working off of. It launched out from under me because I was over reaching center of gravity and I stuck my head on the floor. You can't bee too safe when you are elevated. I think the harness is excellent insurance. Good on you!!

I ordered a couple of items from Amazon to plumb my new LP heater to a gas bottle. I need a 3/8 MIP X 3/8 Flare 90° and a LP hose with a 3/8 flare receiver and a low pressure regulator and bottle connection on the other end.
