Off Topic, the old scales had or have been weighing us at different weights each day, one day I'd be 206 and the next 211 so we bought a new scale and then I grabbed two weights that weighed 8.8 pounds per. We put it on the old scale, it weighed over 20 lbs and then we put it on the new scale, 17.6 on the nose. I weighed in on the new scale at 205 the other morning so things are still "GOODER".

I'm doing three 20 minute workouts a week on the treadmill so it seems to be working.

 

Good deal. Every other day would get you one more workout in 14 day period. Every little bit adds up. Always good to have a rest day in between from same type of work out, and use different muscles for different work on those days off.

"Valuable information"

 

Just cut the cable! Att uverse can pound sand. Netflix, prime, and Playstation vue now and I'm still saving over $100 per month.

 

Let me know what you think of PlayStation Vue. Especially coming from U-verse. Did you have a DVR previously? I'm curious about the cloud type " DVR" with Vue.

 

Yes I had a dvr Horkn. So far it's been great. No buffering at all and I have slow 12 mbps Internet service with 2 devices streaming on it. Haven't used the dvr yet. Alot less channels than u verse, but alot less money. I'm on the 35$ package.

 

We're taking a load of goats to the salebarn in Colfax this morning. If we have time, I might stop at the tractor salvage yard and just wander around down the rows for a while. That's quality Saturday afternoon entertainment for me.

 

Color TVs...

 

Been thinking about doing something similar. Paying right around $130 for cable (that we watch about 12 channels of, including the big 3) and includes 10mbps Internet.

Looking at going to Vue (because it offers NBC sports channel = Formula 1 coverage). $30 for vue and $40 for 10mbps stand alone internet equals $60 savings while only missing one channel we watch routinely.

The cloud based Dvr is critical to me so I hope you have good luck with it.

 

Bank and lumber yard run earlier today. Got the dogs out to the wood lot to run while I split some elm.



Finished out a face chord worth today.

Think I will start on some more Hackberry to make room to start stacking the rest of my elm/ash.

Made some chocolate, mint and vanilla chip cookies for my aunt who is a big chocolate cookie fan. We're going out to dinner tonight with my mother, cousin and my aunt. Should be fun.

 

I just took inventory on the canned food. 12 quarts of chicken stock with veg and beef stew consumed. 8 quarts left. 2 quarts of my wife's spaghetti sauce left.

I'm not crazy about canned chicken. It seems a bit rubbery and it has that canned soup flavor. This fall I will can the stock with vegetables and portion out the meat in the freezer to add. I do like the canned beef stew and stock. A few minutes on the stove add noodles and ready to go.

I have beef stew on the stove now and the stove is nicely rolling along. Moderate winds now and we should see single digits tonight. The wind is pulling a hard draft. Even with the stove closed down, it needs reloads sooner.
