Yeah, real butter and a decent spread or two in the cupboard and you'll stop snacking on anything else so long as there's bread in the house. I make my own apple butter and jams in the fall, and we roll through 3-5 loaves a week between three of us.

Your electric tractor amazes me. Is that a bunch of marine batteries? What's your wiring scheme?

I really want to get a canoe, but I'd like a really light fiberglass one because I've got health problems that make dealing with the heavy plastic ones a real pain. And they are pretty expensive it turns out.

If you're looking for something light, have you considered a kayak instead? If you're going solo, they're a heck of a lot easier to lift, carry, and push around in the water than a canoe. I'm a big fan of the Ascend D10. It fits on top of my Cherokee, weighs 45lbs, and is wider than most kayaks so it makes a very stable fishing platform.

I would love to work on a Datsun in this garage. You know where I'm at (inside the other garage on the property, working on the Celica).

Yeah, I'm stuck living vicariously through all the people with cool rear end projects because I'm stuck in a 800 square foot apartment for another year or two at least.

Mmmm, garage organization porn.

Get some fertilizer (I was told 10-10-10 is acceptable stuff if you can find it) and feed your trees this spring for sure! I got 4 apples off my itty bitty tree last year and expect more this year... not bad for a side yard project.

That's what we used to use on the pair of pear trees we had in the yard at my dad's old place. Got a ton of fruit off of them by year 5. Too bad the people who bought the house from him cut 'em down.

I'm a big fan of canning apple pie filling, too.

~4 quart jars takes a dozen or so apples depending on the size. I've used Ball's recipe before, although I add clove and allspice because I like 'em, and the sugar gets moved a little up or down depending on the apples. Important note, they aren't joking about ClearJel, cornstarch isn't safe for canning. If you can't find non-instant ClearJel (the instant stuff is the bee's knees for making room-temp set fillings, but can break down with sustained heat), can it without the thickener and thicken with flour or cornstarch when you go to bake the pie.

You can also skip the blanching and cold-pack your apples if you don't mind them having a bit more tooth to them in the pie.

Yeah, 3-4lbs onions peeled and sliced, about 1TB butter per pound of onion. Process for 8-10 hours on low in your crock pot for golden brown, longer if you like darker, stirring a couple times over the cook time. If they're still pretty moist at that point, crack the lid and let 'em cook down for a couple more hours to thicken. Salt and pepper at that point to taste.
