Sorta off-topic, sorta not: I can't resist bragging about a major score I made just this morning:
For fifty bucks, I just bought the whole canning outfit of a fella that at 86 has sold the boat that he used to take to Alaska, where he'd can all the fish he caught. Kit includes not just a primo pressure cooker with its various tools, but also two full cases of cans/lids AND the machine that stamps the lids on. All I need to do is get the p.c. gauge checked at the County extension office and I'm in business. Not goin' to Alaska anytime soon but there's plenty of fish here in Puget Sound. Not to mention venison in the woods...
SCORE!
