oof... got up at 6, walked to the nearest pingo doce supermarket for my milk supply, got 18x1L half fat (1% $*&%^&%$&ing lame) and 3x 250g butter, probably skimmed off the very same milk, trotted back the 5.6km or so walk back to home, mixed up one batch of fatty milk at 38'C with 125g butter mixed, prepped up another 3L of spare plastic bottles to ferment the greasy milk in, and ate about 700ml of yoghurt with shredded pineapple.

now sitting down finally all the work done, 8 hours later, sipping cacao and milk and i need a nap.

werk will resume this afternoon after i zone out with the sun shining on me belly full and whole body exhausted from a 5.6km ruck with about 20kg weight.

probably next time again will be 18L plus 750g of butter but i think week after next i will shoot for a 24kg load.

i always used to think, in Stalker, that the ~50kg weight limit was too low but honestly, if i can ever carry that much on my back i'm gonna be ecstatic. i guess i'll be half way to that goal in a month's time, for the distance of ~5km.

rucking is the best, and milk is the best, but dammit, it needs more fat.

next time i use up a 5L bottle of spring water it's becoming my main fermenter for yoghurt, so i can mix in the butter, and shake the living bejesus out of it until it doesn't want to immediately separate.

i'm literally short on calories on 3L of yoghurt a day. this butter is needed.
