Junk Mail, I know it may be a little strange, but keep in mind the old guy that is posting this.  I'm blessed that I do not receive a great deal of junk, I shred what I can for my worms or compost, except for the flyers from the cable and fiber companies, all the others I drop into the trash.   On these envelopes I write across the face: DECLINED/RETURN and under this I add: I use STARLINK !

I know that it seems silly and petty but it gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling, plus it makes me smile knowing that a few other folks may see this and smile also.  It's a source of simple gratification to me,"harm none".

I haven't gone through all the replies, but you might want to try "little fingers".  They are as the name will suggest small but packed with flavor!!

Today might turn out to be a great day!!!  I may have given Google's AI a brain fart this morning.  I typed in the search bar "Baja made with recycled material".  There were the usual ads lower on the page, but the AI part may still be "thinking about" this.  The AI thingy had no answer. This was a first for me.  So overall a great start to my day.

Happy Brain Fart -Google

This is getting a little off topic, a friend stopped by a laundromat a few weeks ago to check prices.  He said it was 7 USD for a wash and 4 USD for the dryer (only 20 minutes) and the machines used a card reader, no coin or cash.

Times have really changed !

I don't know about machines in the UK, but here in the US, Speed Queen makes a commercial model that has no chips all the switches are mechanical contact and it has a mechanical timer.  They are somewhat costly here but should last 20 plus years.  Most of these models are sold to government agencies and or the military.  But these models can be ordered for the public, just not to be found in the big box stores.

Root cellars are a good thing.  OK, count me in.  When time allows come up with some numbers and a time frame.  There are others on the site that would be willing to help also.

Its a busy time for me with the tax people and my bean counter (sorry Elanor) all do their best to give me a patooty rash.  And I may just be nearing the end of my quest for a patch of dirt in West Virginia ( you're welcome Jay).

Let me know, either here or by my email.

P.S. those cookies that were in my package were[b] OUTSTANDING ![/b]

Hey Paul, are there any plans for building a larger passive greenhouse somewhere on your land.  One that is large enough to  provide at least some fresh produce for you and the boots during the winter??

I've been impressed with your design and seen photos from last year of a Jade plant growing in a raised bed inside the greenhouse.  This design does indeed work.  I would be willing to kick in some coin to help with a new larger greenhouse.

Any plans along this idea??
