What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Called and fussed at our local mayor. They are talking about going to a 10 percent sales tax.

I skip the Purex crystals (really only adds scent) and buy the Dollar Tree version of Oxyclean. Purchased the rest of the ingredients at Walmart.

This one works great with the Zote.

 

WOW!

 

Thanks a bunch, I'll hand this over to my wife.

 

I have a few more words to say than WOW. It is just stealing!

 

I fixed a Stihl MS390 chainsaw, that was given to me. It hadn't run in 6-7 years, and was only used one summer. Someone tried to fix it, and screwed up, all the connections to the carburetors. It still wouldnt start, so, new spark plug, and cleaning everything I could get to, did it. Started on one pull.
I then sharpened the teeth, and celebrated, by cutting up about 3/4 of a 70 ft oak tree that was blown down by wind, two days ago. The elderly couple was happy I cut up what I did, and the wife is happy, because she will get plenty of smoked briskets, ribs, and roasts from that old tree. Me, I just get to split it all by hand, then do all the cooking.

Oh, then I went to a neighbors baby shower.

..

 

Stopped and helped my four year old neighbor find his lost dog.

We found the dog.

 

Would you post the formula used?

 

You have worked hard!

 

1 (4 lb 12 oz) Box of Borax– Found in the detergent aisle
1 (3 lb 7 oz) Box of Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda– Found in the detergent aisle
1 (3 lb) Container of OxyClean–I purchase three one pounders at Dollar Tree
2 (14.1 oz) Bars of Zote Soap– Found in the detergent aisle
1 (4 lb) Box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda– Found in the baking aisle

I cut the Zote in to chunks and put it though my food processor or you can grate it up on a grater.

I bought everything, except the Oxyclean from Walmart.

For each load you use 1-2 Tablespoon ... I just use the small scoop that comes with the Dollar Tree Oxyclean.

I hope that helps.

 

Hid 60 Easter eggs today. I may have forgotten where I hid a couple of them.

 

Did you hide a couple raw ones?

 

I plead the 5th.

 

That's the one upside to getting old and senile... you can hide your own Easter eggs.

 

If you hide raw ones now you have all year to be surprised.

 

Best hidden in the hall closet or a hard to reach space.

 

Very cool. Thanks!

 

BTW The Zote soap is kind of sticky and likes to clump. SoI found that when you use the food processor, to sprinkle some of the Baking Soda in with the chunked up Zote so that it keeps it from clumping. Then mix all the ingredients together in a large bucket until its homogenized.

 

My husband & I won first place at the archery club tournament. (It’s a total-point, 6-week event, for teams of 2.) I am the first woman to win this and we are the first married couple to do it.

 

to you both and
