I use clothes pins.

I use them in my ice chest when bring home groceries from the city. Even in the winter here it will be in the teens or twenties at night it can get into the 50s during the day.

I assume you can guess that my comment was being silly.

You keep your house warm? I love winter because I can keep it cold.

I always have jugs of ice in the freezer, if I use one during the cold of the winter I will refreeze it outside before putting it back into the fridge.

I also store food outside in the snow. I usually keep a large ice chest outside in the winter and use that for overflow food.

You can have a funeral without a cemetery.

Cemeteries are a waste of space and resources.

Before I opened my own business and was camping a lot I was looking at jackery, then I realized how little power I use while camping. But it seemed to be the goto brand.

Edit: spelling

If you are not paying taxes you should never get a government subsidy.

I have had my World of Warcraft hoodie from Jynx for 14 +/- 2 years and have only started looking to replace it recently. Sadly Jynx’s stuff is no where near the quality it once was. But if you can find an old used one in good shape it will last.

I have pond baskets I am thinking of using. They are a pot with lots of holes in them. Maybe a smaller pot would work better.

The big issue I am running into, I live in rural NM and no access to parts. I have to look up everything online and finding a small version of anything pond related I difficult. I am going to start looking at aquarium parts since that stuff is inherently smaller.

What did you think of NM? And where were you? (I am South of Albuquerque)

I am going to be harvesting wild sunflower seeds as soon as I can to hopefully plant as a privacy barrier in my yard next year.

I am still struggling with my lotus. Out of roughly 20 seeds, only 1 remains. I have a grow light on it, but that is bringing algae. I am trying to devise a filtration system in a 14” pot. I have a small fountain pump in the pot currently, but need a box or something to put it into so I can add filtration media to it.

the perfect storm of supply chain bottlenecks, rising inflation, and high interest rates.

We had a solar water heater when I was growing up. It worked great in the summer in NM, for a very short period of time. Mostly we boiled water for dishes and baths (we did not have an indoor bathroom, so a bath was a Wild West style metal tub). But the solar heater was the only way to heat the shower (which too was outside).

What happens if I make the device hot?

If you go the other way does it make cold?
