That's what it's all about brother!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slept like crap.

Up till 0230 then got a few short naps, gave up around 0500 and went downstairs to watch TV but cant figure out the in laws apple TV.

So I played on my phone for a while.

Everyone else still sleeping....

Moining, peoples

Yes...

I May self isolate

EGADS 😫

Any survivors???

Had lunch at our go-to restaurant (Italian/pizzaria). We expected it to be full with the "after church" crowd as usual. However, we were one of only four tables occupied.
Panic?

Right now we're at the Toilet paper panic. Tissues. Sanitizer, bleach. All the food is still there.

I'm betting in the next week. Crap, we got nothing to eat!

All bars and restaurants are closed in Illinois, drive through, delivery, and curbside pickup can remain open for now.

Just stacked a bit over a full cord of wood I bought off my neighbor that's moving. Paid him 2x face cord price, which I felt was generous cause half the cord was rotten and unusable. He wanted more, but while the quantity was there, the quality was awful.

But, got a summer's worth of campfire wood. Took me about 30 trips with the lawnmower trailer and only got stuck in the mud 3x. Dug some nasty ruts through the woods though.

Effective Monday at 1700.

I've been through week-long power outages and several days of travel bans due to snow/ice. Tornadoes and flooding have taken out power and natural gas for several days as well.

I keep enough gasoline to run the generator for a week continuously. Cycle it through the lawn tools but always have 5x5g cans on hand - can drop to 4 during the summer till I refill the one in use. Wintertime it's always full.

I've learned to stay ahead of the curve. We're always 2 weeks out from early perishables and a month from the longer things like taters, carrots, n onions n stuff. Wife does stay on top of that.

Eggs come from my back yard. Chickens can come from the back yard too if **** bad. But an egg every day or two from a skinny chicken is probably more valuable than one meal for three from the same bird. I keep 6 months food for them on hand. Dog food always a sealed bag in the garage, replace when I fill their container in the house.

There's always at least a month's worth of meat in the chest freezer. Right now I think I've got enough food to last till early June if we don't go to the store again.

Only thing I'm short on is flour. Wife doesn't like to plan ahead or store in bulk, that's all on me, so baking supplies are short but protein supply is solid. I do have four bags of a dozen brioche buns each in the freezer that was given to me, so bread is plentiful for now. We'd run out of milk in a week for the kid, but he'll live without.

Nothing new. If I have to dip into stores without replacement due to short supply, that will be new. Otherwise it's still routine for me.

It's no secret I like stupid hot peppers.

One of the seed packs I bought this years is "chocolate bhutlah" Not sure how to pronounce it, but my brother in law says it's pronounced chocolate bullchit.

I also bought a chocolate bhutlah mash to see what it was like. Get an idea what I was in for when it came time to do something with the peppers I grow.

HOLY CHIT BALLS

This certainly is Chocolate BULLCHIT .

It's got flavor, but I don't think the flavors it offers are enough to carry the heat. Usually with the superhots I can find something redeeming in the flavor profile that you just can't get in another pepper and the rush combined with the unique flavor profile is a thing to be had.

But this.... this is on another level. This is bottled anger. This is a pepper that has nothing to offer but rage. And I've planted a dozen of them...

It tastes like a reaper. But hotter. Has the heat profile of a ghost pepper combined with the flavor and lasting intensity of a reaper. It's a decent flavor, but while trying to discern the flavor you're wiping snot and tears. It slaps you right up front with a very sharp flavorless bite. Typical ghost profile - now to settle in for the oily burn. But it doesn't let up! It just keeps on with the oily burn that only wanders off after a very long time has expired. Ghost peppers have some decency, they give up when they're no longer welcome. Reapers don't give a FUCXX what you think. This is like a reaper gone ghost. Which, according to genetics, is about what it is.

I've got it mixed in with some curry chicken which was about medium to start. I had a bit of reaper in here when I made it. Wife and a few friends that tried it found it spicy but palatable. But I added a teaspoon of the chocolate bullchit to about a cup of the chicken curry.

It's incredible. Every bite is a trip. I don't think I can make it through the bowl.

I've met extracts/concentrates that can make me call it quits, but this is the first time a sauce. A proper no-extract sauce has made me say Fack it. And I'm growing a dozen of these plants in the basement... Holy chitballs this is insane. I think this stuff is number 3 maybe 2 on my hottest chit I've put in my mouth.

Are you a "hoarding masochist w/ a silencer and a missing duodenum "?

I am equal parts intrigued and terrified by your post

Morning & welcome to Monday.

Happy Monday fellas - Dan is recuperating.

Hang in there 8track, and please remain 6ft from the forum at all times

A moment of silence for Danm and his unfortunate passing due to chocolate bullchit

Thanks guys. No respiratory issues. Had the flu shot. Guess working from home is an advantage today.

Splitting our office to different locations to avoid larger groups. At least I'm closer to home now.

You still could have the flu despite the vaccination. My daughter just did. Might want to see your doctor. If it's the flu, you could get Tamiflu or something similar.

There's a rumbly in my tumbly.

Round 2 is gonna hurt.
