Dean, I'm a little worried about you. Just how many months were you on this pretzel diet?

Not to worry Jim the answer to your ? is years and years!I grew up on hard pretzels as a snack and we even made them, while I no longer make them I do buy them by the barrel full
From UTZ's Country storeAt 66 I weigh about the same as when I on active duty (165 or so) eat very little sweets and not much junk food but you just can't beat a fist full of hard pretzels 0 grams of fat no saturated fat and no cholesterol and like a dog chewing bones your teeth stay clean!!
Plus you get a container that you can store water in for emergencys, keep bulk sugar/flour/rice/beans/etc in your pantry shelves!! Try that with your alestra filled chip bag!!

Looks like a great start and I really like your pretzel protectors. That's a great idea, smaller at the top, but still room enough to grow, and larger at the bottom. Looks like they would be good hail guards also. Too late this year but I'll round some up for next year. I've always used tomato juice cans with both ends cut out, but the plastic jars look like the way to go.

Hi Dean
About your flag lighting solution. I also believe in using whats available, what's on sale, etc. Were these left over from other projects or do each contribute some unique highlight or shadow fill capability?
Just curious. (I'm trying to get my tongue out of my cheek. It's crowded in there (boudin kolache and Cotton Bowl Twist).

Been cooler and wetter than usual so things are a bit slow! Except for the grass to mow as far as you can see

That canning is a lot work and at the same time a lot of fun. It's very rewarding once it's in the jar and on the shelf. Great job with the beets!
