Everyone’s heard of Spring cleaning, but Winter cleaning? Yup, a lot of cleaning needs to be done at least twice a year. Winter brings with it it’s own set of cleaning and preparations. Today I’m going to go over some of the steps I take to get winter clean and ready.
Today’s post ran a tad late due to a house showing I went to. The place showed a lot of promise, Three bedrooms, 4 acres, huge garage/shop, in-ground pool, well water and propane. Not to get too excited but I may have found my future homestead. On to the topic of the day is vintage stores. Over the weekend I hit a few Vintage/antique stores and saw some great things. I only bought two things, for a great price, but saw some good stuff. Let me tell you about the experience and what I got.
Stoves and cooking are two things I love. Maybe I’m just a pyromaniac foodie at heart. After several alcohol stoves, esbit stoves and my Jetboil with modifications, I decided it was time to make a wood burning hobo stove. I had a empty coffee can saved up just for this project and decided it was finally time. Enough jiba jabba lets get to building!
A few weeks ago I heard Jack from TSP mention a BBC show called Wartime Farm. The premise of the show is:
“Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn turn the clock back to run Manor Farm in Hampshire exactly as it would have been during the Second World War”
They have to live period accurate for a year. Having to deal with the technology of the time. They show recopies, culture and farming tools/methods popular during the War years. I loved this series but what Jack didn’t mention was this is not a single show but an entire series. So far they have made: The Victorian Farm, The Edwardian Farm and Wartime farm. With an hour long Victorian Christmas special as well. Let me share some things learned from the series.
I had a different post planned for today but decided to say something about the election. To cover both the good and the bad. I usually try to leave the political topics off here, but decided I needed to cover a few things. Somethings need to be clarified and some people need to be reeled in from out in tin foil land. Most of you will agree with parts of what I have to say and think I’m completely wrong and an idiot with the rest. Thats fine, disagree with me all you want but keep it respectful or leave. No need to be a dick in this life.
