No internet at the farm - actually had to read a book for an hour or two. The power had gone out (stove and microwave needed their clocks reset) - maybe there was a power surge.
Have a radio drill tomorrow morning at the fire and rescue admin building - since it is the first Tuesday of the month, we will be doing much more than just checking in. Fun stuff and really useful when (not if) the shit hits the fan. This particular building is less than two miles from my house so definitely walking distance if everything goes pear-shaped.
Wednesday, one of the groups I belong to is having their bi-annual pot-luck dinner. My last initial has me making a side dish this time (It was an entree last December) so I will be doing my oven-baked beans. Cooking a pot in the oven allows for all-around heating which really promotes the Maillard Reaction - couple hours and it is good enough to eat (I should hope so). Soaking some navy beans tomorrow and spend a couple hours Wednesday preparing. Also doing a cole slaw with honey mustard dressing. I'll thaw out some bacon tonights.
Surf for a little bit and then dinnertime. Drove through Bellingham this afternoon.
