Today is cow day.
The hang weight was 939 lbs.
The total cost was almost $5500.
It filled the chest freezer, half of the upright freezer, and the freezer-drawer of the (large) garage fridge.
We will need another cow in the fall.

@RCXFactor @wilsonhlthcoach When you buy by the whole animal, you get steak at hamburger prices!

@CaryKelly11 We make Reuben roll-ups with homemade Russian dressing.

@CaryKelly11 My birthday treat! Husband had them in the smoker for 2½ hours and then gave them a quick extra sear on the grill. Salt only.

@elonmusk So is my car.

@usanewshq Both. Speed is relative.

@Arkypatriot That is not an appealing look. It looks like a digestive malfunction.

@bekahj @HistorianUSA1 Wrong. Each membership fee covers 2 cards. Husband and I pay for 1 executive membership; we each have a card attached to it.

Last week, my husband, son, and I went to @Hersheypark for an afternoon. None of us bothered to eat breakfast - we just had coffee and headed to the park. We had water bottles (and sugar-free electrolyte mix-ins), and we didn’t bother to eat until around 4 in the afternoon. We were all absolutely fine without eating, and we walked several miles while riding many roller coasters.

@GioBruno1600 Don't eat it.
Eat eggs and bacon instead.

@Mkellytx2 @GuntherEagleman @KauaiCoffeeCo @GreenwellFarms We visited @GreenwellFarms while on our honeymoon, and have ordered coffee from them off-and-on (as finances permit) ever since. Yum.

We buy Toto toilets. I'm talking about the Toto Drake toilet - a very baseline model with no fancy features. No built-in bidet... just a very reliable basic toilet that is currently selling at Lowe's for $400-500.

Fortunately we don't buy toilets often. As a matter of fact, we've only bought 3 in the past 20 years... and we have 1 more to buy at some point...

@groypergunner @MarioNawfal I had a summer job as a CAD operator in 1990 (the software was called DataCAD) and we had large-form plotters that used pens and could do this.

[J @J_reads_things]

@MarioNawfal This isn't a new device - it's a pen-plotter.

@CaryKelly11 My 79yo mom's LDL is 314. She wins.
(She's not taking statins. Her HDL is 91.)

@DutchRojas Nonprofit just means they spend the money... frequently on executive salaries/bonuses...

@9mmsmg Husband and I use the same passcode for our phones. It just makes sense.

We were at Hershey Park a few days ago, and they have the QR-enabled soda fountains throughout the park. They allow “unlimited” refills on certain cups, but will only dispense that cup’s capacity once in a 10-minute time period. That’s still a crazy amount of liquid candy.

The nice thing about @Hersheypark is that they make ice and water freely available for anyone who brings a water bottle. No QR involved - it just dispenses. We brought water bottles (and @LMNT packets to mix in every so often). @BGWilliamsburg should copy this approach!
