Empty Promises
This is where I promise more updates. As I've proven to be unreliable in this context, I'm going to post porn for a while.

Quick Update
We've had to put one of our dogs down, that's sad. I'll post the memorial that's up in Crunchy's in a bit. Otherwise, life's been pretty busy.

Bacon Prices Expected To Surge This Summer
Bastards!
Bacon Prices Expected To Surge This Summer
Your bacon budget may go bust this summer if analysts' predictions come true. One indicator is pork belly prices, which have surged to $130 per 100 pounds and could top $150, which it reached last August. A factor contributing to bacon inflation is rising corn prices, which have caused hog farmers to pare their herds, making bacon cost $4.77 a pound in May.
CNBC cites an analyst, quoted by Reuters, who says bacon could rise to $6 a pound in the next few months.
If bacon prices continue to rise, will you cut back on bacon purchases or sacrifice other areas of your life to keep the BLTs flowing?

Lesson #996 - Gay Marriage
My grandchildren will be asking me in 2081: "Why was there a debate on gay marriage?" - - I'll respond: "Because people were idiots. Go enjoy your date with the robot." - - Congratulations, New York. Six and D.C. down. Forty-four to go.
The 50 Best Beers In America
Zymurgy magazine, the official publication of the American Homebrewers Association, has released its ninth-annual list of the 50 best beers in America. To assemble the list, its editors ask readers to submit lists of their top 20 favorite beers.
Russian River's acclaimed Pliny the Elder beer won the top slot for the third year in a row. But if you want to try it yourself, you might have a hard time. Russian River is fairly widely distributed in California, but the only state in the East Coast where you can get Pliny the Elder is Pennsylvania. (And it's scarce even there.) At least many of the others on the list (like Sierra Nevada) have strong national distribution. The top-ranked brewery, as measured by total votes for its beers, was Delaware's Dogfish Head. The brewery's highest-ranking entrant was the hop-heavy Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, which tied for third.

A Long(ish) 4th of July Post!
Multiple topics today!
First off, we spent the balance of our weekend buying and shooting guns. We added a few to our collection, and upgraded another. One item of interest was this:
I'm not sure how "tactical" a two-shot shotgun can be, but it's cool anyway. The local gun show where all this was purchased was really good this time around. I found good deals and enough interesting stuff to be entertaining.
Secondly, it seems that the efforts to trap raccoons were only partly successful. I think we have a second predator, and it looks a bit more like this:
The funny part of this guy is that the other homesteaders online advocate building a fucking castle to protect your flock. Sorry guys, but I'm not going to do that for some goddamn chickens. Especially since we want to keep them free range. The first picture of this post gives us all the castling we need.
We are going to take some precautions, so it's not like we are setting up a diner for the little predator fuckers. We can plug holes with some fencing, and there is a nasty rat trap in someone's future.
