There's been a few family and friend's funerals during the pandemic that we didn't go to. My wife's uncle's funeral was Tuesday. I went since she isn't able to travel far. I left home at 8:30 am, drove 155 miles to the funeral home. Stopped along the way to buy okra. Stopped along the way to visit a cousin. It was 8:45 pm when I got home.
Wednesday, I sliced okra. I bought 15 pounds @ $1 per pound. They gave me 20 pounds that was starting to get old. Some of it was tough, no wonder it was $1 per pound. I measured the slices into a quart jar, dumped into seal-a-meal bags for the freezer. Dug and removed a few items from the freezer for dinner and make room for the bags of okra.
I check the site daily. If nothing I want to comment on I pass on by. I could start a rambling thread, but one got me banned years ago. Some people don't know how to comment on a rambling thread.
My mudhole is in risk of drying out if we don't get another 4 inches of rain soon.. other than that I ain't got nothing. Okra for a $1 a pound sounds about like it's worth. Most folks I know growing anything been keeping the squirrels, deer and rabbits fat!

Most okra I see around here is $4 per lb. I'm getting a lot of tough pods that go into the scrap bucket.
Must be the weather this year? I’m not an okra fan, but the group of friends and neighbors who gift produce back and forth with my parents - I’ve heard a lot of talk of it being toughQuote:

I love okra, fried, pickled or even boiled. Just figured at a buck a pound couldn't expect to much. Heck that's watermelon price per weight. Even out of those 35 pounds if you can salvage 10 sounds like your doing good Canebreaker. I haven't seen the 1st good homegrown tomato this year. Gotten a few squash and zukini donated the last week though. Beggars can't be choosers I reckon [emoji848]

Too busy with kids’ activities (back in school, too) and work to go fishing. Also too hot for me right now.
Okra is snot on a bush.
Change my mind.
Ps. I dress just fine, but my gewberishness just bleeds through.

Can’t argue with that. If I was gonna have to eat it, I’d want it fried. But I’d be tempted to try to feed it to the dog under the table or somethingQuote:

I wondered what variety the okra was or their process. A piece with the stem is tender. What I've grown had to be harvested before it got 3 inches long or it would be tough. This I got is a mix of spineless and dwarf. First time dealing with dwarf.
I've tried the Ripley, Grainger and AR tomatoes. They are grown in hot houses and don't have very much flavor. I see some home grown on marketplace, but $4 per lb is a bit to much. I have 12 plants in a flowerbed and the tomatoes are small, 3 and 4 slices on a slice of bread. The bed is on the west side of the house. By the time they get direct sun it's hot.
I'm looking for purple hull peas to pick on halves. All the ads I see I ask, get the same reply, NO. A quart of shelled is $5 to 9. A 5 gallon bucket, half bushel is $20. A bushel is $35. We love peas, just not that much.
I have Spain's Supermart in Grenada on social media. Man, they offer some great deals, case price is better. If I had 2 or 3 more large freezers they'd be full in a month.
This place is dead and J white mentions food and 17 posts in a day. We should rename the page the Cornbread Club.

Guiding didn’t work out either. They kept wanting to touch my rods n stuff, and when they didn’t like my music playing on the radio, I decided I didn’t like them either and put em out on the bank to walk back to their vehicle.

You should try banking. That’s what I do for extra money. Kinda hot right now kicking widows to the curb, but it’ll cool off soon enough.

I went to the bin sale at the auction house in Senatobia Thursday. 75 cents per item, lots of it comes from Dollar Tree. A few items on pallets with set prices. Tax isn't collected at these sales. I'm looking through the stuff, finding very little I want. The auctioneer announces, all items 50 cents. I gathered a lot of art supplies for my 2 youngest granddaughters. There was a pallet of half liter bottled water 40 ct for $4. It's 5 at Sams and 6 at walmart. Since no tax I got 3 cases.
I watched his auction on Zoom last night. The vendor had lots of food items, most near or out of date. The house adds 10% and collects tax. I didn't buy anything.
Sounds like a hoarders paradise to me. Or a good place for a questionably dressed banker to drum up some business! Loan rates could be excellent and collections a booming business, so kind of two fold.

Got a 2017 service truck with a 6.7 in it, just had all kinds of issues. 68,000 miles retaining clip that holds camshaft in broke and cause shaft to get play in it and wore out the seal. Was leaking oil pretty good. While they were in repairing that they noticed timing cover was cracked. About a 5 grand fix for both. These newer diesels just aren't as reliable anymore.Quote:

At 245,000 the 5.9 is just getting broke in!

Yeah, I grew up driving diesels. At least in light duty vehicles they weren’t very good in the beginning - 80’s. But have seen the rise and I’m afraid the fall. I blame EPA, but also the manufacturers, and a little bit the customers. The tightening emissions plus the power race led to where we are. The old first gen 5.9’s were near indestructible, but you couldn’t give em to most people now with 160 horsepower and 400 foot pounds.
Everybody in too much hurry.

EPA is 98% to blame in my opinion. Not going get political and all cause against the rules. But the EVs aren't working out to well either. Ford sure feeling the crunch on that one so far. How far some will go to prove a point is beyond me, but as usual the little man always pays the price! I expect bailouts soon via your friendly taxpayer.

Thursday while at Senatobia I walked the walmart store. (Heart doctor says I need to walk more.) Wonder if walking in an ac building is better or worse than walking outdoor. On the clearance aisle I found 3 different size dry bags at near half price, got the medium size. Double paddles for the kayak at half price, got 2. A folding rocking chair that will be used while camping for $35, got 2. GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker XL, Pewter Gray, Adult Chair - Walmart.com A walk around at Kay's supermarket, got 2 packs of minutes steaks @ $5 per lb.
A stop at walmart in Hernando for another walk around. Didn't see anything I wanted.
One thing I'm looking for, my wife takes a Midnite sleep aid every night. It's 1.5 MG Melatonin. Kroger had them for $10, walmart $8. Had a good supply horded for a while. In a 20 miles radius I've found 2 packs at a drugstore @ $13. The website shows none in stock.
Coldwater trade day this weekend. I parked about 100 yards from the entrance, 4 lanes that are about 200 to 300 yards long. I walked it twice. Most of the stuff I see at the auction house. One guy had small bins of hardware stuff that I looked over. 3 vendors had canned stuff, I looked them over for pear preserves. The first had half pints for $12, I walked off. The second had pints for $10, turn the jar over and the bubble was at the top as fast. The 3rd had pints for $7, turn the jar over and it took 4 seconds for the bubble to come up, I got 2.
Sure has gotten hot today. Weather saying 97 with a heat index of 125, I believe it. Was out by hernando point this morning, seen the wardens had a couple guys in a boat stopped that came to fish. Been wondering why warden's still sit there everyday with no lake access or fish to be had??
Seems reverse psychology is at work now. Used to you had to wait until drunks came off the water, now they just drive up to you in a stupor of sorts!

I followed a decked out crappie boat down Hwy 301 to the J&J location. I stayed at my son's house a bit over an hour. When I got to 301 again the same boat was headed north. Guess they didn't see the notice about the lake being closed.
I know how hot it was, I was soaked to the knees when I came back into the house after working on the trailer.
I think I cursed myself writing that I wasn’t planning on doing anything for the next few weeks. Looking at the weather, bet my horses hay dealer will cut and bale this week. 50 square bales to be picked up and put in the barn [emoji849]

Boiled okra is fine. Just have to remember to cross your legs before you swallow.Quote:

Ordered 250 bales from a local guy before his first cut. Never heard from him so I called. He told me he wound up round bailing most of it. He had 50 square bales he did sell me. Hard to find square bales around here right now.Quote:

Yeah I realize I’m lucky to have the neighbor I do who humors me. He’d rather round bale most of it too. Hayfield about 2 miles from our barn. After my wreck the first year, he put it on his trailer and came backed it into the barn hall and unhooked, said keep it long as you need. Not many left like him!Quote:
