I know it is over 100 degrees in many places right now, the pool is even getting to warm right? Fall is a million miles away, I am here to day, no sir it isn’t. For many fall is less then 60 days away, in many instances the cool fall air and the changes with it are only 30 days out. It is time to start thinking about fall and winter expecially with your gardens.
In the intro segment I announce Nancy Pelosi as “assclown of the day” for her swastika comments. I also recognize a group of retired people as “heroes of the day” for standing up as members of the AARP and not being walked on by the far younger people that were dictating to the members how they should think.
Then before the main subject I do a review of the Kaito Voyager Radio, my recommendation is do not buy this. Tune in for full details today, it isn’t all bad I just don’t think you are going to get your money’s worth at this price point.
Tune in Today to Hear….
- The bounty is comming how will you store it
- Is it time for you to break down and buy that canner or dehydrator
