I hate going to town & after I get there I hate being there. Plan my stops & needs ahead of going. Then usually skip 1 or 2 stops in order to get out of town sooner.
Sort of have to go at least twice a month. Milk beer & dog food.

It usually takes me about 3 days to talk myself into actually going to town. I do have a good time talking to the people I come across in town or else where. But would be just or even happier talking to the dogs or birds.

There is only a couple of people anywhere close that even want to talk to or associate with. One is a winter visiter so only see him for a few months of the year.
The others that I liked have died & all were younger than I am.

Sort of have a wild life sanctuary here, feed the birds, lots of quail & doves, cactus wrens, cardinals & what I call the Chit birds. Quite a few cotton tails in spite of the dogs. Have 1 grey squirrel & a few chipmunks. Have a good fence so bigger animals can't come in.
OH Well life goes on.

Reminds me of a song, something about 'hardly ever saw Granddaddy down here, only come to town about twice a year'. Does your shopping list include 'a hundred lbs of yeast and some copper line' ? :drink:

Not worth it. A 30 pack at the Indian store is only $18 US. Copper price is is out of site, don't think I would live long enough to get even.
Usually buy 2 30 packs & even 3 now & then. :D

The older my wife and I get we feel the same way.There are a lot of rude folks running around these days. We try to shop early and be back home by 9.00 am.

It took years of experience & learning but I get 'er all done now with only one trip per month to town. I just can't stand most of the folks I have to deal with, in town, and I'm sure the feeling is mutual. I make a run from the house to the Kubota dealer where I'll sit and have a cup or two of coffee, contemplating my move on to Costco and discussing important worldly matters with the "tractor staff". If I dilly/dally too long in town I just get overly upset at the way people are treating each other.
Its best that I'm holed up out here on the property and my few friends can come out here to see me.

No yeast. Sourdough starter lasts forever.

options ...

phone your orders in the day before , have them box and tape closed for you ... then just stop by long enough to pick them up and pay for them ..

too much still ? .. do the above , then have a neighbor ( or one of their kids ) pick them up for you ( and give them the checks to pay the stores ) ... and give the neighbor something for the effort ...

if you have someone you can get along with , have them drive ( one less stress thing ) ... and share the cost of gas ...

Beer does not get better with age. That alone would force me to shop at least once a week.

Or, you can brew your own and be 100% off the grid.

As they say --- God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy!
