missing binaries at times like this..

Understood.
My ISP provides Usenet access as part of the monthly charge. And they
carry binary groups, too. If I get the pics posted somewhere else, I'll
let you know.

I'd miss binaries almost every day. ATT seems to be blocking more and
more of the groups I read so I might have to bite the bullet and pay
for a premium server if it get any worse.

And there's going to be more on the table in about an hour. I
off-loaded about 3# of berries to my next door neighbor. Now I have to
juice some and, likely, freeze some; they won't hold until the
weekend‹and I'll be picking more then, anyway, with Beck and the BRG.
It's been a helluva long time since I've done an honest day's work as I
did today. IBePooped! I'm going to put berries in the steam juicer
and hit the shower!

It's rarely about new for the Fair, Scoundrel; it's mostly about how
well you do it. I could tell you about a couple things I'm pondering
on, but then I'd have to take you out! My detractors could be watching.

I'm anxious to get Beck & Small Child here Friday night so we can head
out at about 8:00 a.m. on Saturday. They need to learn to make real
jam, not that freezer crap.

Hey, I resemble that remark. "Real" strawberry jam tastes like stewed
fruit. Freezer jams (strawberry, apricot, peach. nectarine, etc.)
taste like fresh fruit. It's your choice but I'm with Beck all the way.

I have to tell ya, canning is pretty hard work. When I used to can a lot 20
years ago I'd need the following day to "recover". Don't know if I could
even attempt it now...

I'd usually drop a coupla pounds of water weight just from sweating, for
some reason I always chose the hottest days on which to can. 'Twas fun
though, you just have to get into the "zen" of doing it when it's that hot.
A case of cold beer helps, natcherly...

Takes time, but it's not exactly hard. JMO.

I like to do it late at night with my music on.

"You have to can when the fruit is ready, Barbie, not when you're
ready." Thus spake Mother Mary.

Not me, man. My brain is addled enough without the complications of
booze. I gotta get the zen going for the pickled boiled dirt chunks.

Light a candle for me on Saturday. Small Child will be in residence and
we're going berry picking and then will make at least one batch of jam
with the harvest. Providing the fields are pickable in the morning
(we're supposed to be rained on tomorrow).

Amen, brudder! Back in the day when I was raising a family, I made an
annual trip to the you-pick strawberry fields in Indiana. I'd spend
half the day stoop-picking strawberries (the ghost of my father's
cotton-picking youth must have gotten a smile out of this). I'd then
dump my treasure into one side of the kitchen sink, clean and hull the
little *******s, then put the prepped berries in the fridge. I'd spend
the entire next day prepping the Ball jars, the berries and canning
same, all on sweaty June days with no a/c and no kitchen iPod!

Stuff I did while raising a family just wears me out thinking about it
now <g>

That really is the greatyest drawback to preserving and gardening. It is
imperative to do it when we have ceaseless heat and everything is jumping
off the vine into the kitchen or growing like the fotrsy around Sleeping
Beauty's castle. I just cut for the third time this week enough roses to
fill a 5 gallon pail. They had closed off the paths and steps. The
neighbors are starting to complain there are too many.
Soon we are going to have zucchine lessons to expand what they do with them!
