wow I posted a lot playing catchup. I had to reply to all the things individually because of the ADHD... but it still makes me self conscious. lol
I caught a gopher today! Watered the garden.
You are not alone. I've had bad seals where I have never had problems before.
I'm about to also buy a case of superb lids. I am pretty pissed off about pressure canning and having failed seals... I've been pressure canning since I was in high school and never had a problem. Water bath canning...
You're so funny. I thought about noting the fact that Rabbit isn't a rodent because it's delicious. LOL
Squirrel though; never eaten. So I have no opinion. Though the tree squirrels here are demons, ground squirrels same thing.
Yup. I don't use social media aside from this forum, and the aquarium co-op forum. I can't be bothered with all the scrolling nonsense... It is a depressing space imo. I have better things to do. Like pick up dog doo so my kid can play in the yard without worry. lol

We had to team lift it. It's the first thing I've tried to lift alone in a long time that made me laugh when I tried.
I was planning to buy a medium one at some point, when I finally pulled the trigger.
DH went the extra mile for me. I may use this as an excuse to run another 20amp circuit...
BEHOLD!!!
DH bought me the large harvest right. Costco, epic deal.
My neighbor up the street works for FedEx freight and delivered it this morning. I gave him a dozen eggs.
