    Sorry UKGuy, that excuse only works here in the States, where we still OWN guns! :gun: gun2banana

    When your on a first name basis with the folks that bake in your supermarket and they *save* buckets for you.



    When you can pick up a brass shell casing, look at it and tell if it was fired in a Glock (pistol brass) or an HK (rifle brass).

    And yes, every time we stop at Walmart for cookies, the bakery ladies ask us if we need the empty buckets!

    Busted! We're both so bad about that. Including counting rounds fired vs reloads done, and the magic morphing gun (where the continuity folks goofed and the gun is one type in one scene, and something totally different in the next.)
  4. Wild Horse Orchards in NEKS near McLouth is a great place for interesting apples. Have gotten my apples there for the last two years.

     

    AS far as finding used pressure canners, try the Goodwill/Salvation Army stores, and especially church rummage sales. My Walmart has jars of all sizes up thru quart, and lids, rings etc.

  5. I got my Presto Canner free! My MIL snagged two for me at her church rummage sale. I kept the almost-new in box one, and get the other to a friend of DH's.

     

    In fact I am going to take my first stab at canning tomorrow! Yes, I am going to do spaghetti sauce--meatless at first, and then if I get decent results, I will do some ones with burger, and process for the meat time.

     

    Then....SALSA!!!

    I have the oddest use for duct tape ever! My daughter recently decided that she doesn't want to wear a diaper. She's almost ready to potty train but we're waiting another month until we get moved. Anyway, back to the duct tape. A strip in the middle of the diaper and one around the top to make a chastity belt as we call it! No tape touches her skin and she can't pull it off since she can't reach the area where it starts and ends in the back. Looks awful but works!


    HA! BTDT too! Also handy if you buy cheaper diapers & the velcro tabs tear off.

    Our two RR's both from Rescue. Now, we have a long history with the particular group we adopt thru, so I have no worries about getting a problem dog. They screen their animals very well. Make sure you know the agency you will adopt from.

     

    Ours like it when we do archery practice!
