  • I really enjoy Farmers Markets and a coworker suggested I check out the Proctor Farmers Market in Tacoma Washington. It was worth the drive even though it was Cold!

    I love checking out local farmers markets(I used to have my own business of organizing/managing farmers markets). It's always great to support local small businesses, artisans and farmers!
    But no coffee?! How dare they! ☕️

      +Lori P. They had hot cider... for $4 a cup. I decided to pass but it smelled great.

      Mmmm, hot cider also sounds perfect for a chilly late autumn day! 🍂

    No wool was harmed in the making of those socks

    I'm sitting here reading that label and wondering, "Where's the wool?" LOL.

    The Ballard Farmer's Market is a good one too. It runs on Sunday all year around.

      +Elaine Steffens Great! Thanks, I’ve been forgetting to look it up. My new friend DreamSideOut filmed a pizza place there that looked amazing.

    Those socks must be made with wool from the new genetically modified sheep. They feed them used plastic shopping bags and they grow wool that is 100% polyester, wink wink

    Fremont, Ballard and the u district also have very good farmers markets up on the north side.

    Alright Mr. Static, I think we hit upon a great idea that just might address your entertainment refinements. Since you've no doubt taken to chainsaw art creation like the proverbial hungry pelican swooping in upon small, hapless fish; I imagine that the meticulous rigors of intricate small figurine carving should (with time) pose not a significant challenge to your multi-talented quiver. You'll need two off-setting colored bars of soap and a k-bar. So, three bars in total. Then you'll need to return to Tacoma and reorder that same exact salmon sandwich. The important part, the part that you probably over-looked on your first trip, is to save the grease barrier paper upon which your sandwich was presented. You need to cut that paper into an 8 by 8 grid following the checkered pattern. After your have the grid cut out, you must then proceed to carve chess piece figurines out of the soap. Remember to allow for the required number and type of piece. For instance, there are two bishops per color. So you will need to carve out a total of four bishops. Once you have all of your pieces carved (to exact standards) you can then place them in order upon your new chessboard. Then all you have to do is ask someone to play chess with you. Afterwards, regardless of who wins, you will have been rewarded with an endearing pastime, and when you rinse your hands off with water, they should be quite clean. Regarding the Tacoma, I saw a couple of guys drive past me in one yesterday, but neither one of them looked like a farmer.

    Strange, I just bought a piece of Tasmanian sea-farmed salmon for a dish I plan to make, with cream, white wine, angel-hair pasta .

    @NoProGoPronto 6 років тому +1

    I love farmers markets as well. I'm in NYC, so you are bound to find one somewhere at any time of the year. That sandwich looked delicious and that piece of salmon looked huge. Must have cost at least $13-15 right?

    • @StaticCamperVan
      @StaticCamperVan  6 років тому +1

      +NoProGoPronto I think it was $9. To be honest, I don’t have a food budget, I buy food that I want to eat and am not concerned with the price :^)

  • @overcoffeemeditativemoment8084

    Well, well, well
    How about this situation!! 🎣🐟🦈
    Here you are talking of Salmon in your video
    While I am having some Salmon for my dinner
    Yes, tasty!!
    I keep working and reworking my receipt that from memory I prepare. I figure, Gotta get it to the Best I can as perhaps one day you'll use in your Cookbook. 99.9% your how- tos and maybe this to somehow appear.....
    I heard you mention, if I'm not mistaken, that you don't really enJOY typing. Well, it's not a problem for me
    Perhaps a joint venture... I've already started. I figure it might be that 50 times I will need to prepare this Salmon, what with writing down, to re write, to prepare and directions write/ type yet again...
    WOW your Salmon looks Delicious and then multiply the Deliciousness factor about 5x
    Mine maybe not so fancy, except it's filling and appetite there is.
    What I've shared here is something to think on. Who knows, months future this may be given to work.
    Given that your how- tos at 99.9% then thus the amount of net income yours from the sale of mentioned item... maybe 99.8%
    After all, that is quite a bit of typing..... Think that's called sweat equity ⌨️🖥️📒
    Speaking of Salmon,
    A cousin fish I think might be Sharks...
    Don't know if you ever watch that on tv.
    Only to say that ..Mr Wonderful.. he has
    A quote and not to mention any names
    except to say,
    No regrets yet, Your de*d to me

    Wool blend socks, with no wool? WTF! New low for Walmart. They need to sell bags of air and call it the crushed faith blend.

    You may have already answered this question but why did you pick the promaster city over the promaster full size ?

    • @StaticCamperVan
      @StaticCamperVan  6 років тому +2

      +Johnny Carson I haven’t answered that question. Simply because of the cost. If I could have located a diesel van, I might have gone with the full size.

    Beside you and a girl with a leather purse, everyone at that market was fat. Good wool socks are military surplus, on-line, hopefully from Sweden or Finland.

      @StaticCamperVan  6 років тому

      +Larry Kramer haha! There’s a great idea, except I don’t like to order online. Since I was in Tacoma, I went into Bass Pro Shops and found some socks with a lifetime warranty. $6 a sock, I hope their worth the money.
