Never been, but we drove by there yesterday. Before the storm, it had been years since I shopped in Dothan. But with so many Marinanna and Panama City stores wrecked, and me not liking Tally traffic, it's the only choice for Sam's Club or Big Lots.

I don't guess I know anyone in Coffee County, but I used to go to Geneva when I was a kid. A friend of my mom's was from there, and I would tag along when her bunch went to visit family. Their land was in both states, but they didn't know where the line was. It always amazed me they were not interested it finding out where it was.

I've had good luck with Yellow Pear Tomatoes. Grown them two years now. Killed them both years as I was sick of picking so many little tomatoes. They just never stop producing. I always plant too much garden anyway.

I limit myself to 4 tomato plants, I have been growing garlic in the winter from some seed cloves a friend of mine gave me. Got 60 heads last year.

Wandering through the garden and looked over to where I put a clone out to die in the cold and lack of light and the damn thing is still growing. We've had frost, rain, wind, and this thing didn't care. I am about to harvest her sisters, guess I'll re-veg it for grins.

I’m seasoning all my cast iron cookware today. I scrubbed them down and then dried them off. Now I’m rubbing them down with oil and putting them in the oven to cure.

12” skillet
10” skillet
Double burner griddle
Comal (for tortillas)

I’m gonna let them go for an hour and let them cool to the touch. Then I going to oil them down again and do it one more time.

Thinking about sanding my huge ass cutting board and hitting it with some food grade mineral oil. Just to keep everything in tip top shape.

I might as well sharpen all my kitchen knives while I’m at it.

My inside cast iron is in pretty good shape. But I've got a big storage tub with camp cast iron rusting in the back yard. It's from the camp I can drive to. There is still more at the other camp that needs retrieving. I'm going to set up a tarp in the back yard for a shed, but haven't done it yet.

I'm using a leftover fiberglass tonneau cover for a 69 Ranchero as a roof for the lawn mower and recycling. Have one 2X4 as a post and the fence holding one end up. Someday I'll do something permanent.

We will be buying a 40' shipping container for me and a stick and tin she shed for the wife. The plan is to put them where the longleaf's are now. So that got put on hold until the trees are gone. I do have one shed still standing, but it's packed. I've been working on getting it more organized. I took about 50 pounds of wine and whiskey bottles that I had collected for hot sauce to the recycle place last week. Need to keep chipping away at it. Jigsaw puzzles are a big part of what needs to go. I've overloaded all the local thrift stores, and I hate to just toss good ones. I've had to throw away a ton already. Lost 20-25 Springboks. I would have traded a few hundred of the others for those.

That's where I'm at, I built an extra garage to put my boat in, then put a FJ-40 project in there and the boat went to the driveway. I sold the boat last summer and I'm getting tired of projects so I need to get the FJ running at least and gone also. Might be able to put my woodworking stuff in an actual garage then. At least I had room in there to build my grow room.

My classes start today. I successfully logged on to my two online classes and familiarized myself with the format. Looks like a ton of work but also looks like a ton of useful, real world skillsets. Financial Accounting and Computer Accounting Applications. Basically an Excel and Access course. Then I got one physical campus class that starts tomorrow from 6-9:10. The dreaded Public Speaking class. Called Oral Communications 'round these parts. I want to communicate with some of yours guys parts orally.
