Hey Rob,

Me, too. Hate to say it.

Just learned tomorrow's 8:00 a.m. soccer game was cancelled due to rain,
darn it. ;) Glad for the rain. Son (age 13) will be disappointed, but I like
my sleep. Son will live.

My friend pressure cans deer meat every year in broth and de-bones it. We
have two friends who will hunt on on our land this fall (we have so many
deer who come up close to the house...), we're going to experience dressing
the deer first hand. It's time to learn and hunting ourselves is next. First
things first. I can't believe I'm going to do this, but I'm going to do
this.

There must be online info or something in the Ball book. I'm sure several on
the list can help you out tomorrow.

You've made so much progress on your homestead, good for you.
