Got my computer back today and I'm about $4K poorer but recovered all my
data from a blue screen crash a month ago.

No on to preserving: recently put up 8 pints of green beans and ate
about 4 pints. Tomorrow am we pick the Blue Lake bush beans again and a
casual look says I'll be canning again. Picked about 15 or 16 lbs of
cukes today so am planning to put up several, say 8, quarts of sweet
pickles, the limed kind that we like. I have, pay attention now Bob
Baron, 3 gallons of Aji Limon de Peru hot chiles in the freezer and will
be grinding them up for hot sauce very soon. The eggplant are coming in
like gangbusters so I will very shortly make several pans of moussaka
and then vac seal and freeze them. Hopefully I won't loose another
freezer full of homegrown food to a hurricane this year.

Speaking of hurricanes, Rita cost us about $3K and the insurance company
about $14K. We have a beautiful new roof, a new ceiling in the living
room, some new fence and three less trees. We bought a new Santa Rosa
plum and a LA Feliciana peach to replace the two fruit trees we lost to
Rita. We got one peach and one plum left from the depredations of the
squirrels and the grackles. There are no simmons left on the Fuyu
persimmon tree, got no idea what ate them little green things but it
must have been very hungry. Oh yeah, just notice the Loquat tree died
today. We cut down the last mayhaw tree andit and loquat were totally
non-productive.

Healthwise I'm about as good as I'm going to get. Two more mid-major
strokes on May 11th put me in the emergency room for several hours but I
came home and am doing okay I guess. Doctors tell me this sort of thing
will be going on for what's left of my life so I'm trying to get used to
a stiff lower lip, numb right ear, right forearm and hand and right leg,
which incidentally is now half the diameter of the left leg. Can't
figure out why that's happening as I walk on both of them at the same
time. <VBG>

I've missed all you people but I'm finally back. Bless you all and all
of your families.

You were worried? There's a little old lady who lives with me who was
scared spitless for awhile. And you should have seen the dog defending
me from the lady paramedics on 5/11. Miz Anne had to pry to dog off my
neck before they could pick me up off the floor. The puir dog was
worried nearly to death before I got home from the emergency room on
5/11 about 11 pm. Me, shoot, I didn't know nothing about it, first time
I had been completely unconcious in years although I've been accused of
being unconcious numerous times. We be okay for the moment though.

Glad to see you back, George, but sorry to hear about your health.
I'm sending you health vibes for many more canning seasons to come.

All of us do not live in Southern Canada. Some of us live off the
Continent, over here in Extreme North LA-LA-land.
