Great Gifts

[mulepackin]

Last Friday was my 46th b-day (yeah on the 4th). My wife and dtrs got me a FoodSaver vacuum sealer. Man, that thing is awesome. One of those "how did I get along without it" kind of gifts. I sealed up my homemade hot dogs on Monday, maybe no faster than wrapping, but more fun, and certainly will keep better. They also got me one of those hand held tennis racket style bug zappers. They are a blast too, although it seems preventative. The bugs don't come near me when I'm armed with it. Oh yeah, they also got me another solving horse problems book, as they did on Fathers day. I think they want me to be well armed when I go back to working horses
