Food Storage cont'

Not that I started this post, Heather actually did.
But since I received our early Christmas present from The Mom (and Dee) today I am sharing what we are going to do with it.
I'm sure you know that there was a precondition with this gift, they want it going towards food storage needs.
I had discussed with mom the topic of having lots of wheat but nothing to grind it with. So I have been on the look out for a decent hand grinder that would be half way economical and actually be able to make flour and not just crack it.

This is what I came up with.

The Family Grain Mill should do the trick when it comes to actually having to use that wheat. It will also flake oats or barley for meal.
At $109.95 this is affordable for most everybody.

Of course I am also assuming that there will not be any electricity when we have to actually use it.

My Indulgence At The Nokia

The one or two of you who actually read this may or may not know that I have a slight affinity for Rush.
Thursday last I was at the new Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live. Built on what used to be the parking lot across from the Staples Center. I have to say that this theatre is the best new venue in L.A. there in not a bad seat in the house.

Anyway at the encouragement of my wife I bought a ticket last minute for the show.(actually about 20 hrs before the show, one never knows when it may be the last.) I have to tout Vivid Tickets for that, they were great with the last minute purchase.

(and don't start, I knew you could not get out of school last minute!)

I was in a luxury box with with a group of other people with our own waiter.


My camera does not quite get it, but not too bad for the little Kodak.

Neil was in perfect form.



And who can out play Alex?

My little Kodak did an ok job with the video. Mind you I had never used that function before.
