Him: Homegrown meat and Linkin Park

I'm a little behind the curve on one of the topics of this blog, that being Linkin Park. I was eating lunch today with some colleagues that were visiting and noticed in the window across the hall a new Linkin Park album release. That's awesome! I was tempted to walk right over and buy it right there, but I'll wait a bit; just knowing it exists is exciting enough.

For those of you that didn't know, I'm a huge Linkin Park fan and have been listening to them almost since their beginnings. I know pretty much all their work and try, and I say try, to keep up with how they are doing and what they are up to. Obviously I have been living under a rock and now they have  released a new album just in time for summer! Can't wait to have a listen to it. I'm sure I'll have it in the next few days or at least within the week.

In other news, totally and completely unrelated as well, I was just called today to be told that my beef was ready. This is something I have grown up doing, that is: buying a bulk amount of meat to have for the winter/long period of time. It is amazingly cheaper to buy a quarter, a half, or more of something than to just go out to the grocery store and pick something up for tonight's meal. The only thing it does require is for you to have a large enough freezer to hold it all. Well, that is something I can't live without, the freezer and the food, so I will be going to pick it up tomorrow. It is only a quarter beef, which still equates to a couple hundred pounds. We just finished off our last quarter, which we received in late October. It was delicious.

We do this not only for beef, I also enjoy homegrown turkeys, as well as catching my own fish and keeping some ahead. Nothing like saving a little bit of money, and also knowing exactly where the food on your plate comes from.

-Another great day
