@lioness My wife used to do quite a bit of canning - tomatoes and fruit, but now she only does tomatoes as supply gets low. She freezes anything that comes in abundance - peppers, peaches, pears - and when she cooks a large casserole or batch of spaghetti sauce, she freezes half to enjoy it another day. Same with meatloaf. Makes a triple batch and freezes two. We have a cellar that stays between 45 and 60 all year, so we keep potatoes and onions down there, along with lots of other things. I keep my paint there, too, so it doesn't freeze. It's kind of a multipurpose pantry.

I just got a new laptop with my stimulus check, so I'm having to figure out how to use it. A lot of things are differentt. If I can, I'll post a few pictures. I did manage to transfer everything from my old laptop, and my photos are in Googe Photos cloud, accessible from anywhere.

Hello Jim,
Could use some expert advise.
I had 3 hoses each between 75 and 100 feet long.the first hose sprung a leak, so tossed it
Last week. Just took the 100 foot out of the garage, turned the water on, and bang all along the hose seam,must of been 20 leaks, shooting up in the air like ol faithful. Quickly shut water off. All the hoses are kept in the garage, so sun and winter do not ruin them.
Right now, am keeping the 3rd hose in garage. Was wondering what a good brand is, I’m going to Lowe’s tomorrow, need to buy at least one. All 3 hoses came from Lowe’s, maybe I should go Home Depot.?
I had some very sticky electrical tape, tried to wrap the tape in leak area. It did not work.
Your input would help, as I’m not sure about good brands.
I keep saying “ big property,big problems”
