Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went for a Kidney biopsy. Spent the night in the hospital.
Never felt better, lost weight, working out 2-3 times a week for the first time in my adult life. My blood work says I have kidney disease. WTF! I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm not gonna lie it hit me like Mike Tyson shot to the body. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That looks yummy.
I've been thinking of canning my BBQ sauce and salsa. It has a very short shelf life just in jars with no preservatives. But canning is new territory for me.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks the first few batches come out light by the last batch usually in March it's a very dark amber
Canning is very easy. I really dont need to immerse the jars in boiling water because the syrup is poured off at 217° but I still do . Syrup is done at 7° above boiling water temp. I check the boil temps just prior to canning by boiling a small pot of water because of my elevation it boils around 210-211 ° .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went by my new place today. My new next door neighbor that I haven't even seen or met yet was having a big fence installed between his house and mine.
Well... So much for the welcome wagon. ![]() Actually I think he wanted that fence for a long time. The lady (nut case) that I bought the property from was ranting about the property line. I think that she wouldn't let him build it so he slipped it in quick when the place sold. Escrow found no problem with the property line and I could care less about inches on an acre lot. You're not going to hear any complaints out of me especially if I get a free fence out of the deal. ![]() I will offer to pay half the cost of the fence just to be a good neighbor. Hopefully that will ease the tension of playing the drums and electric guitars and the loud exhaust pipes. Not to mention the 100lb. German Shepherd snarling through the fence at him. He won't mind. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nothing better than tossing a bundle of cash over the fence at your neighbor to ease any tensions right?
