Looks pretty nice. You will have to let us know how it taste.........
It’s pretty darn good. Much better than the regular old Folgers we always drink. The only bad part is that I don’t have a roaster so I’ve been doing this in a skillet which takes a lot of work because you have to constantly stir for 20+ minutes. I’m going to build a DIY roaster I saw on YouTube.
Put out another roll of hay for the cattle.
Harvested another tub of tomatoes that I'll roast tomorrow for spaghetti sauce.

Four calls in the last 2 days. Staying out most all night to get folks home. Pic is of crippled air boat that spent the night in the marsh. The guy's girlfriend (in our boat) was very happy to see us and have a ride home..........

'Something' destroyed the bird feeder in the front yard.
Roasted 2 pans of tomatoes. Skinned & pureed them & added my spaghetti sauce spices. I'll can it tomorrow.

That 'something' came back last night & got the 3 bird feeders in the backyard. One is destroyed, but 2 are still usable. I ordered 3 metal feeders to replace the ones in the back yard & will use the old ones in the front yard. Yeah, Mrs Ranch is mad & she wants this animal dead. The traps will be baited & set tonight.
Watered the garden, asparagus, flowerbeds, porch pots & all the trees. It's been 99-103 degrees here for the last week & the forecast for the next 10 days is more of the same.
Canned the spaghetti sauce, got 11 pints out of that batch.

I hope you get him............
Nothing in the traps this morning. That coon owes me $100 & I'm going to collect it one way or another...
Did the weekly shopping.
Receive the new bird feeders. They're well constructed & hold a lot of seed (it took half a sack to fill them up)!!!
Harvested more green peppers & tomatoes.
Seasoned up a sirloin steak & some potatoes that I'll put on the smoker for supper.

Rescues, although sometimes late and difficult are rewarding. Recoveries.......not so much......

Made a loaf of rye bread for myself.
Watered the front yard & started on the back yard. It's currently 102 degrees & the forecast highs for the next couple of days is 106.
Prepped & roasted 3 pans of tomatoes. I made a 2nd double batch of spaghetti sauce & tomorrow I'll make the last one into picante sauce.
Cleaned the kitchen exhaust fan filters.

A while back I bought this $59 paint sprayer to paint some outdoor furniture. Best 59 bucks I’ve spent in a while. There’s no way I could have brush painted all this.
Last weekend I built a stump topper to put the wife’s plant on.

You got that canning going on.
Yeah, pretty much takes a whole month of putting stuff up every year. Mrs. Ranch normally helps me but she is hyper focused on the largest quilt she's ever done, so I am sucking it up & putting in some long days.
Canned the picante sauce. Another 14 pints.
Canned the spaghetti sauce. Another 11 pints.

Do you do several different heat levels?......

LOL.....I like that "thought provoking hot".......
LOL!!! You haven't tried it yet. I always watch how big the eyes get of people that have had it... It's sweet on the front end, then after about 5 seconds the burn sets in!!! I've been told that it's very good by those that have tried to buy it. Capsaicin rocks!!!

Made the labels & applied them to yesterday's canning session. Then moved them to the pantry in the guest house.
Finally got back to my shutters. I applied to coats of 'Renew' to protect them. Hopefully I get them reinstalled tomorrow morning & take down the next couple of pairs.

Bought a Taurus G2C Pistol in 9mm to carry in the boat on those late night runs. Got it from GrabAGun.com. They had a great price. 242.00 TTL to my dealer. Bought it yesterday and it is expected delivery today......
