As a prepper, I’ve saved dryer lint for years. I have about 35 large Bic lighters and a very large Christmas can full of strike anywhere matches and two flint fire starters.
One of those fire starters is a master fire starter which costs more than the cheap ones. It had come and was on the coffee table and my husband and I were watching a survivor type TV program, and they on the show had to decide what to use to make fire. Husband said, “I’ve got a fire starter!”, picked up that starter and hit it with the attached tool, and lightning shot out of that down to the marble top coffee table. That was so strong it would had lit up wood. We were both shocked at the intensity of that bolt. That type fire starter should never be hit in the house and no kid should be allowed close to it.
I just wrote two long posts about autism on an FR thread and have a short one to write but came to this thread for R&R before writing the last one.
Johnny, I have six sunflowers I transplanted from cups to larger pots yesterday. I haven’t been outside today to see how all the transplants look today. The sun is shining so I hope they are all looking up and storing up energy to grow a bunch tonight.
I’ll step out there and see what’s happening.
Meanwhile, I made the mistake of stopping at Mom & Pop nursery on the way home from my Mother's house. I did need more potting mix, seedling mix, and smart pots.
They had a ton of mystery tomatoes, lettuce, cardoons, and other stuff I don't need out "for free"...I told them to quit putting free stuff out because then I end up buying ten dollar smart pots, and 14 dollar potting soil for the "free" stuff.
The girl laughed, and said, "We've figured it out..Haven't you noticed when we see you pull in, we put a bunch of free stuff out while you're back in the herb section?"
Anyway, I moved a bunch of impatiens to the front porch, took down my Christmas lights, added dirt to the potatoes, and now I need to plant all this free stuff I got at the nursery...And finish my chainsaw stuff..Oh, and overnight, my chinese cabbage in the greenhouse, bolted, and has yellow flowers blooming.
