Good Morning All. Mostly cloudy and 75°. Rain has been removed from today's forecast despite radar showing showers all over the North Texas area around here. Yesterday's precipitation was widely scattered, it sprinkled slightly here, but 65 miles away at the DFW airport, my daughter's plane was held on the tarmac for over 30 minutes because of their rain. My gauge got wet but didn't show anything more. High today is expected to be an unseasonably cool 82°. Pool cooled down to 87° yesterday due to two days of clouds.
Mowed and used the weedeater yesterday morning, then after lunch/nap, I pressure canned some more Green Beans and the first jars of actual spaghetti sauce. Up until then, it was all just Tomato sauce. Spaghetti sauce is done in 24 oz jars because that's what we need when we use it. The Green Beans were also done in 24 oz jars this time instead of pints, because the different size jars need different processing times and I didn't want to do it twice!
Canning equipment will be cleaned and put up today since there won't be enough of either to warrant canning again until the fall. We'll consume everything including the Squash, that ripens before then. Squash doesn't can well unless you plan to puree it when reheating.
Today as usual is the weekly grocery trek. I'll stop at the UPS store across the road to return an Amazon package, they make that process really easy. Not sure if my wife is going or if she'll add additional destinations or not. Who knows about later on with the weather being the determining factor.
No time out in the train shed yesterday, except to restock the beer fridge. Kinda waiting to get more done on the riding lawn mower that's assembled and primed. I had done the tires with a new to me shade of off-black, but I don't like it and I will redo them with my remaining bottle of Polly S Grimy Black.
John - The only food that I have ever gotten at a Buc-ees was their brisket breakfast tacos, which were very good.
Tom O - Even though it has been there much longer than the one in the city of Denton, I have never stopped at the Buc-ees by the race track. The gasoline at either is, as you posted, competitively priced, no cheaper than the other local places.
Y'all have a great Thursday.
s. Just like a cat!
