Another chilly 38 degree day here, but at least the rain has stopped.

Made pizza dough & sauce for tonight's supper (Italian sausage black olives, onions & pepperoncini).

 

[Titus Bass]

Sounds good.....I think it's taco soup here tonight.....

 

[w_r_ranch]

Did the weekly shopping, mostly to get the fixings for a couple of batches of lasagna. Picked up the pork to grind for the Italian sausage & 4 sirloins for lean ground meat. I'll grind it in the next couple of days & then make the pasta dough.

Fed the cattle & put out another roll of hay.

Started some machining on a couple of my projects.

Love lasagna...... We are having breakfast for supper around here. Have about 20 dozen eggs in the fridge. We coat them with mineral oil . It gives them around a year of fridge storage......Our neighbors are pretty well supplied too.....

 

[w_r_ranch]

Separated the 'Coulotte' muscle (~1 pound each) from the 4 sirloin steaks & vacuum packed them for grilling in the future. Afterwards I ground the remaining meat for hamburgers (~ 12 pounds).

Ground the spices for the Italian sausage, mixed it with the pork & ground it (4.4 pounds).

 

[w_r_ranch]

Vacuum packed the ground meat from yesterday.

Took my X-Y vice apart to clean & oil it prior to milling a couple of my projects. Then remounted it on the big drill press.

I will have to try this mineral oil trick. It’s winter, but the birds are laying a bunch of eggs.

[w_r_ranch]

Picked up a load of cattle feed & did some minor shopping (mostly the components for my seed starting mix). There were a lot of idiots out there today, enough that I was glad to get home...

Bit the bullet and bought a new mower. Not a fan of the zero-turns, but no one really builds a heavy duty lawn tractor anymore for the price of this heavy duty zero turn. Olivia says red is her favorite color, so there’s that.
