The  peanut jars filler machine.

Mixes the sugar, salt, and oil into the peanut butter mix.

The Blancher which takes the skins off the peanuts.  We have taken it apart and cleaned it several times and put it back together.

This is the mixer machine for all the additives to the peanut butter

Famous Pie Show: called the Flying Saucer Pie Company. We tried it. Didn't like the pies.  But we tried.

Outside of the pie company. Went all the way across town to try them.  Also tried a Mexican restaurant the Senors's recommended. Didn't like it either.

 Long Story. But we had to take down and wash all the parts on this very tall conveyor belt with plastic baskets in it to move the peanuts.  Then we have some fantastic Spanish volunteers come  and work on day.  They were good workers and fun to chat with.  About 6 of them were given the job to put this belt back together.  It took about 3 hrs with no breaks to get it put back together.  Awesome Job.

A few days later when we went to hang it back in place the belt was too long. The supplier sent the wrong belt.  The supervisor was discouraged. He  just took it down and ignored it for several days. .Finally, I said Scott lets take the belt apart.
So  the three of did it. Only took a few minutes to disassemble it.
This is a picture of all the little nuts and bolts and other parts.

.

And a week later, I asked if the new belt came in he said yes. So I asked if we could put it back together. He looked at us like we were crazy, but said ok if you want to.

So here is the belt. You can see how long it is.
It takes 118 of those little buckets. Each bucket has 8 pieces to hold them in, I told Scott we would be done by noon. He laughed and walked away.

Here we are done by 11am.  Took the 2 of us 2 1/2 hours.  I think he was pleasantly surprised.

This is the same outfit we every day to the factory. Standard, we all ware it.  Then when volunteers come they know who to go to for help.
























This is the home for the big belt. It moves the peanut after they they have been roasted into the next room for the rest of the process.  The two rooms are separated because the raw peanuts start in the roasted room and they don't want any contamination in the next room.
You can see the belt in this lift. Which Elder P and cleaned inside and out using the scissor lift.

We are getting pretty good with the  scissor lift.

Now when Scott wants something done and done well, he says Prybyla's you do that.

 Went to a flee market on Saturday. And we didn't know it was the day for the Houston Chili Cook off.  You pay $5.00 for 6 bowls and you can taste what 6 you want. and then you vote. It was a lot of fun.  And we did find our favorite.

More chili cook off.

We live in the city of Spring. This is old town Spring during Halloween.  All the stores have the kids come in and trick or treat. It's very safe and during the day. It was really nice.
