People should eat more rabbit and venison.

Going through cupboards and reducing the number of wheat products is revealing to me that I still have quite a few rice things here, though white and refined rice products are not so great for you either. Sugar is the other ingredient to reduce, and it is present in many forms as well. The emptied storage jars will now be used for interesting non-wheat types of flour as I work out a few basic recipes for bread and flatbread, to start with.

We're under a heat advisory (heat index of 112 today) so my time outside is brief, but it is possible to make progress in a few minutes if one pays attention and does just the thing you headed out to do. I have some galvanized fence posts propped up in the garage and took a few minutes to remove the attached braces that supported fence crossmembers. (Side chore: I swept up some mouse droppings from around the posts and they went out with the trash.) There's a vintage band saw in there that I've never used and I'll offer on one of the buy nothing sites (I don't know if it works - so giving it away confers no obligation to test it first - it cost me $25 at a garage sale about 20 years ago). The tiles gone, the fence posts streamlined, and that saw out of there makes a lot more room in that corner of the garage. I'll have to "walk" (wiggle and pick up one side, then the other) that saw and it's stand to get it out.

But surprise! I got ready to list the saw and looked for an operator manual online to print to include - it turns out this one was recalled in ~ 2008. So my offer now is for the non-working saw and the table and the parts with it, if someone can replace the part that isn't safe. Let's see if that walks out easily on its own.
