Ordering and gathering materials to upgrade my salted sand storage. A 16 wide x 10 high x 30 long Shelterlogic cover. Then today getting a few more mafia blocks for the walls.
Good load on the pickup hauling 3 full blocks and a half block, about 12,600 pounds of concrete block per load.

Tongue weight was just a bit low on this load, tires did some scrabbling coming up the driveway.

I bought a 55" tv, brand name, reliable mfgr. great price. After screwing with it for 3 days it went back to the store for a full refund. Clerk asked me why return it.......I said because it kept referring to a this and that (directions on how to operate it) on your smart phone......I have a flip phone and I am not about to buy and attempt to learn how to operate a smart phone just so that I can figure out how to operate their TV.

Not a chuck roast! It was $27. For a chuck roast. Yikes.

We had chicken instead.
$5.99/lb at Kroger if you clip the coupon. I saw a chuck roast at another store last week that was over $10.

Nice! Our Kroger closed a few months ago due to shop lifting. :cautious:

Still one on the south side. Might have to make a trip.

I bought two slabs of Baby Back ribs for $3.79/Lb. the other day. Man, was that good and meaty after a slow bake. I'm looking forward to leftovers tonight. 😀

On Chevy's and GMC I believe the one ton rear axle is bigger and probably throw an extra leaf on the spring packs,? I do know in my recent truck shopping there was an option package for 3/4' tons that gave it a bigger transmission cooler heavier frame and a few other things, salesman I was working with said to just get a one ton, especially if your not a hot shot driver. forgot what the package was called exactly though. Nor do I know What exactly made it still considered to be sold as a 3/4'ton. Maybe bed capacity? Idk I do know a 8' steel dumper dog box will add over 600 lbs to an 8' bed.empty Plus what approx up 2 yards of gravel might add If I didn't have air helper springs I problaby wouldn't consider converting my 3/4:ton into a small functional occasional use dump truck. However looking forward to using it like a one ton dump truck. I suppose if I break something due to using it occasionally as a small dump truck I'll regret my decision but learn an expensive lesson. Quoted per
ta googler search enhances the truck's towing capacity and performance by adding components like a heavier-duty rear axle, upgraded suspension, and a 3500HD frame
Here in B.C. the provincilal tax on a new 3/4 ton is 10% while it's 7% on a one ton. Not a lot of 3/4 tons around. One is considered a luxury and the other a commercial vehicle.

Beef is pricey here to but pork is more than reasonable except bacon.
I got a couple loins on sale for $2.29/lb.
Funny how years ago it was the other way around and loins and hams were the pricey cuts.
I cut off the ends to square them up and then cut them back like rouladen.
Stuffed them and rolled them up.
It was great with mushroom/onion gravy.
I also grind up loins and make burgers. Tender and juicey and 1/3 the price of ground beef.

We have some friends that have started raising pigs. Just got some chops, a roast, some scrapple and a couple feet from them a few weeks ago. Cooked up a couple chops in the crockpot, in some leftover juice from a brisket we had cooked the week before. Wowza! I have NEVER had chops so tender and tasty! Glad we've got 4 more...

Now I need to get my wife to get after those pig's feet. I've never had them before, but she grew up with them and says they are really good!
