That’s quite the complicated mix. I’ve used chia and flax before but didn’t stick with them. We always have some in the pantry.
It gets worse, as my post to @*RJ* just now makes plain. I dehydrate and grind the ginger, grind the cinnamon, and make the yogurt for it, too, so it's quite a production. But, hey, I've got a lot of time on my hands.

We had about 3 inches of wet snow. Perfect for kids building snowmen but hard on the back to shovel. I helped hubs shovel out. They plowed about 4 feet of snow into the driveway apron. The snow plow driver must hate us! We can't use a snowblower on the packing snow. It's worthless to try.

I braved the shoppers and returned some grow lights to menards. The lights are misleading. So I'm back to regular led shop lights. I see BCF is having a sale. I might wait until the next. I'm not really into the flavors right now.

Hope everyone is well or getting over the "Covid". I have been getting strange headaches lately and worried. I started taking a 81mg aspirin "just in case".

Ok, it’s not that overdue. I think I posted mine a couple weeks ago.

Yep - I got mine a couple of days before your post ( haven't read it yet - want to do review before I do) . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    Sounds like you spend as much time doing that as I do on reviews. It’s hard to remember what I did with my time before reviewing.

    I got my snowblower out and made sure it would start today. It can’t be snowless all winter can it?

    I’ve taken 81mg aspirin for years now. My doctor recommended it a long time ago.

    I was in pod burn out mode when I wrote that one. I’m starting to see more mod kits now which is refreshing.

    I just finished a bowl of the chili I put in the crockpot this morning. It was pretty good.

    I was trying to put dual coils in the Blotto Max I got for review and have the worst time seeing the slotted grub screws on the Blotto tanks. I had to hold a flashlight in my mouth so I could see to tighten the screws.

    Hope it was those small flashlights.

    Ha!

    But, really, nowhere near as much time. Ten or fifteen minutes in the morning to make the smoothie and the next round of kefir, then about that much time once a week to make yogurt and the same again every couple of weeks to make the protein powder. The spice grinding and, especially, the ginger drying tack on maybe another hour every couple of months. Since I have few other duties, it adds a little structure to my otherwise bloblike existence.

    I helped the wife cut up some vegetables after she got back home with groceries and am just relaxing tonight. I’m really liking the Kroma 217 kits I got for review. I didn’t know if I would since they have the fire bar instead of a button.

    Hello all you Randoms,

    Just checking in. The wife got me a laser-cut steel distressed US flag for Christmas, and that was a surprise as I thought we weren't exchanging gifts. I also got in on a exclusive Spyderco Paramilitary 2 that was on sale but sold out - I kept checking and snagged one a couple of days later. Can't wait for it to get here.

    Which sprint run did you snag?

    A mix of berries--blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. It also includes spinach, carrots, and peas. Plus my homemade protein powder (hemp protein, nonfat dry milk, black walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, and sunflower seeds), yogurt, water kefir, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, and stevia. It's huge.
    Whoa. Does it taste good? The one we made that was actually edible today used almond milk, frozen fruit like strawberry and peaches and pineapple, and protein powder. It was like a shake but it didn’t hit the spot for me. I can’t see us drinking it on a regular basis. We tried peanut butter which was a no and spinach which made it look like poop. We laughed so hard and it’s now in the yard.

    I like it. Some might not.
