Keb, late last night when I read your post (incorrectly) I saw "stuffed with high school students" and thought that was great! :-) Working or hanging out in a bookstore is good for their future - as long as they manage to not take home their entire salaries as books.

A bulk purchase of pork chops (Costco pork isn't injected with brine but their packages are huge) was frozen and is now packaged 1, 2, and 3 per bag. I am still testing the altered zip lock freezer bags for this, and will plan to use those packages first. It does let me extend the supply of the heavy-duty freezer bag roll.

A bunch of vintage plastic food storage items ran through the dishwasher yesterday to be photographed and listed on eBay today. Those are fast and easy to list; this is recent stuff designated for eBay and is listed now because it's the most in the way of everything else I'm working on. My sales page tells me I've sold $180.87 in the past 90 days. Piddling around with this keeps things out of the landfill and at this rate is enough to pay the water bill each month.

Monday morning I may be driving the neighbor's husband down to meet with the AARP volunteer tax preparer. She handles their finances so is the one who usually goes to the meeting but is having difficulties getting out (there are stairs around the house and she started using a wheelchair). I've offered to build a ramp into the garage, where there's only one step. That would use up some of my spare lumber here.
