Over 2 sessions, $90.00 computer service help with software installation and financial account wizardry that I have NOT been able to fix, myself, in the last 6 weeks. Money very well spent.

If and when I got really muddy chasing birds, then I washed my outer wear. Went to a hunting store and bought a detergent that had NO UV brighteners in it. Claims here have been made that animals can see the UV fluorescence that our vision will dismiss. Whether you're a hunter or a...

The dry vermouth is still the best match for the frozen fruit. Bianco is strongly vanilla and the rosso just disappears, masked by the fruits, I suppose.

Not a damn thing. My kitchen is full of food and drink. I found 2 x 500ml jars of dried Roma tomatoes packed in olive oil for the past 4 years. Perfect condition I fill a 12oz glass with a medley of frozen blueberries, strawberries and peach slices. Picked at the peak and not a rotten bit...

Some say that our days are numbered, a finite length of life. To that, they add that a day spent fishing is a day not counted when the time comes to tally up. I'd like to believe that it is so.

Starch. Same as glycogen just different 1->6 branch point and different glucose polymer 1->4 chain lengths. I'll eat red meats for the essential amino acids that humans cannot synthesize. The heme for the iron. For animal glycogen, I recommend the glycogen storage organ, the liver.

Buy a roll of woven cloth seaming tape. You fold it in half over the edge of the mesh and sew that sandwich together.

I'll suggest that you begin in your kitchen. Some sort of a little stove, fuel for it. Then the food thing and pots/pans to cook it in. Eat out of the cooking pan. Make a list, be very conscious of the weight of your growing kit. Eat attractive foods and get to be competent to satisfy your...

Fried with butter and garlic for several days then eat the pan? I can imagine the puzzlement. Great design.

"Glycogen" is a generic term for the arrangement of polymerized monosaccharides into insoluble bunches. (1->4 and 1->6, might be some 1->5 and 1-> 3 bonds too). There's "glycogen" in corn starch but it isn't the same chemistry as that from wheat or muscle. That's in part why most all deep fry...

Photographic film developing tank. The tank body could be useful for dry goods. They never sealed very well (work in the sink) and the spools might have very weak solder for heating. I kept one to soup 9 x 6 cm roll film format in an adapter back for my 5" x 4" view cameras.

A little marble mortar & pestle for grinding small amounts of herbs and spices (cooking for one) such as saffron and cumin seed.

Very fine, scrubbed leather is often used as the surface for musical instrument cases. In this day and time, some sort of a faux covering is used on the cheap cases. I would not want to put any sort of a load on it.

"Necessity is the Mother of Invention." Very innovative picker-upper. Isn't it a relief to recover some means of activity? Well done. My sense of balance is really poor. Always great risk of falling if I bent down to pick something up. Lower legs too weak to get up unassisted. I bought a...

I went to a ship's chandler on the coast and looked over the selection of "off-shore boat-coats." Was not cheap even some 25 years ago. 5X large so I can dress warmly underneath. Wrist seals that really did prove their worth on several occasions. I've still got it. The wrist seals are...

What can you shoot for birds? Can you still use lead or do you need non-toxic shot like steel or bismuth, etc? What did you get? Major puzzle here the past few years has been primers. Very hard to find to buy. I'd shoot 7.5 shot x 12 gauge/bore for both trap and upland game birds such as...

Candle wax. A couple of rubs. Invisible when compared with graphite lube.

Coarse brown (Kraft?) paper packaging is used as a final polishing medium for many hardwood carvings. I don't know if there is any residual fine mineral abrasive with the wood pulp. For some reason, it isn't very effective on wood carvings done in cedar/pine/spruce = the "soft woods."

Bombay Sapphire (UK) has come out with a "novelty" gin, flavored with bramble berry. Gold Award winner somewhere. That, I want to try. We have huge farms of cultivated blueberries and cranberries. A big handful in a big glass of white wine or dry vermouth is hard to pass up. Must try the...

Are there any places where the climax seral stage has been allowed to remain? Wood rots here at varying speeds, depending upon the species. Birch is a sweet wood, it's punky in 18 months while western red cedar might last outdoors for 50 or more years.
