Today, I wanted to give you what you were supposed to get on Monday - a walk through of this side hustle life and how, over time, they can lead you to your passion - that is assuming that you are at a place where you are ready to find it. Direct Download Tales from the Prepper Pantry 2 more gallons of honey collected - $20 a quart Actively using up last canned goods from 2017 Grocery store challenge - purpose to test my pantry management One item allowed - mine is half and half Travel does not count Farmers market is ok, but not buying prepared foods Regularly scheduled things (like my annual salt purchase) is allowed What's in Season Yay!! Tomatoes Edible flowers AP greens and green beans Squash - still not doing awesome with the squash Harvesting potatoes Operation Independence Closed on the new rental house - which folds into today's show nicely. We've been doing the initial sterilization - and I use that word strategically because the last inhabitants were not sanitary with their bodily waste, or that of their animals so we have been cleaning out all manner of fecal matter both in the main house, the yard and the basement. It has been rather horrific and Tactical Redneck has shouldered most of this burden because he doesn't want me to repeat last year and get sick.

I got a question in about ducks and it was involved enough that I thought it would make a great Wednesday topic. And indeed, I find it easier to brood ducks on the summer than the early spring, so today we will go through a bunch of stuff, from brooding, to caring for, to why you might want ducks or chickens or chicken over ducks. #HollerHatWednesday: Where is she and who is she with?
