Too Cold to Grill

When I cook steaks I like to use my gas grill that is out on the deck. But it is pretty cold this week. I don’t think I want to stand in front of a grill out in this cold weather just to eat a well cooked steak.

I might go down to the home goods store and buy one of those George Foreman grills that you use in your kitchen. I have heard several people say they got one for Christmas and that they love it. So maybe I should try that out. I don’t really see how an electric waffle maker looking appliance can cook steaks as good as a grill with open flame, but I’m willing to give it a chance just for the sake of not having to be outside when the temperature drops below 20 degrees.

Shocking News from Tuscon

Riding home in the truck I heard something on the radio about a shooting in Tucson, which is a long ways from here. But the shooting was extremely unusual in that one of the victims is a U. S. Congresswoman. Evidently she was hosting a public meeting of some sort and some guy came up and shoot her and then emptied his gun shooting everyone in the crowd.

As soon as I got home I turned on the TV to see what that was all about. It is still too early to know many details, but so far they say that 6 people are dead and 18 are injured. The Congresswoman is still alive and in surgery but was shot in the head, so it doesn’t look very promising.

This whole thing is just shocking. My sympathies go to the victims and their families.

Hansen Wholesale offers Guaranteed Lowest Prices on ALL Gas logs by R. H. Peterson

Been thinking about  turning to Gas Logs sometime in the near future. From what I can tell R. H. Peterson Real Fyre Gas Logs are right up there on top and that they have a great website with a lot of good information to take in on the subject. So I’ve been taking a gander around the Robert H. Peterson gas logs site to find out more about the world of Vented Gas Logs and Ventless Gas Logs, I didn’t know that there would be such a variety to choose from and many things that are factored into the decision of which way to go. But I’m sure that Hansen Wholesale is the place that I’m going to be purchasing my choice from.

This old farm house is going to be needing upgrades in so many areas and I can only do such much with so little time and money, but if I keep on steady like I might be able to see and feel a difference and feel good about what I’ve been putting so much blood, sweat and tears into. It’s not like it’s a money pit, my parents took real good care of the place but it is old and it needs to be kept on top of so it doesn’t start going downhill because that can turn into a real nightmare.

WebHostingBuzz

A good New Year’s Resolution to adhere to these days is to try and make a better effort to become as “green” as humanly possible. Living on a farm most of my life I have learned many ways to help our Mother Earth in various ways. The good lord knows that we have been into recycling before it was the “in” thing to do. We have always tried hard to replace anything that we have taken from the land and have been open to ideas and suggestions.

One thing that we can all do is give our business to companies that are doing their part in the “green movement”. Did you know that there are website hosting companies that are making a huge effort and are doing wonderful things in order to participate in these practices. WebHosting Buzz is doing a tremendous job with their efforts. You can read more about them here at http://www.webhostingfan.com/reviews/webhostingbuzz-web-hosting-review/. 

I’d like to really encourage as many folks as possible to check this out and see if they would be willing to switch over to a web host that is doing things such as WebHostingBuzz is doing. You can find reviews and ratings as well as a lot more information on a ton of web hostings at webhostingfan.com.
