BowEd:
I see Clint is up to his revizing tactics again.Nice work.Stainless...That should'nt wear out very quick.
We keep 2 of those kind of stoves around for when the current goes off for an extended amount of time.I've always had one and picked up the other at a sale for $10.00.They are still both coleman white gassers.
We canned a bakers' dozen of peaches from our peach trees today.There should be more to come on the second tree soon.Looking foraward to some cobbler and pies.

You are doing what I wish I had time to do. But the date has been set to move in to the new Black Hills Raptor Center and I have an absolute drop-dead date to have things done. I suck at anything construction oriented and I have to take 3x longer than necessary because I gotta work it all out in my head or risk wasting material, time, and demolition to just go back and start over.
We have a couple of stands in town selling Colorado peaches and they are gnat's sneeze from being perfectly ripe. Man, I'd love to can up two or three flats!
This morning I hauled out three metal clad exterior doors from the Habitat For Humanity Re-Store and built casements for them. They are not particularly pretty, but they are mostly square and the doors will fit! Tuesday morning I learn how to hang them on hinges, install doorknobs, and set the striker plates in the jambs.
In the meanwhile, I am working on paperwork to have a peregrine falcon transferred to our permit from another facility. From the photos, I am pretty sure she is an "anatum" subspecies, and she's prettier than a pup with a partridge in her mouth! I have been wanting one since the day we incorporated this bird circus, and we're gonna have room for one come August 31st!

Seasonally the colorado peaches do appear in grocery stores here too.Rather expensive though.We've canned those in the past.They are very good too.Peach trees here don't bear fruit every year.Peaches here directly from the trees are top shelf peaches taste wise.We hit the iron while it's hot then.Still waiting for the peaches on the other tree to completely mature and they won't ripen all at the same time either.It does'nt take very long to can things.Some things can be froze and canned or pickeled at a later date too.
I've been through all of the construction building the place here around 20 years ago besides my fix it knowledge farming 30 years.It does help to know these things for the future.Additions in the future are made right then too.
I walked/drove/and hauled with the 4 wheeler thousands of button or velvet leaf weeds and cocobers from around the perimeter of the corn field here yesterday to keep them from going to seed.The interior of the field was sprayed and does'nt look too bad.Lopped off dozens of thorn trees in the waterways treating the stump with a stump killer.Do these things every year.On a farm the work is never done.
