My turn…..
- The stock market set its 71st record. There is little justification for the valuation. Hope and positive feelings are not criteria for the value and price of a company. It’s not going to last. Just something to keep in mind…..
- I’ll put up some reminders over the next few weeks but Paladin Press is closing its doors. They are having a HUGE sale clearing everything out. Good time to take advantage as once they shut down most of their books will no longer be available.
- It’s easy to forget that there are still American soldiers over in Afganistan and other countries putting their lives on the line for us. They fight to provide us the complacency to forget.
- I’ve been dealing with some severe writer’s block this week. It comes and goes a couple times a year. Work has been extremely stressful. Well – not for me but for many others so I get sucked into things. It’s all good just causes a bit of distraction from thinking clearly to write.
- Hope everyone has a GREAT WEEKEND!!!
Something for you…….a little “prepper humor”

Your turn……
For those interested in my BOL issues, there’s good news and bad news. The good is that no one has been living there, but the bad is that the doors were kicked again and signs that someone was trying to gather up various hand tools. Nothing appears to be missing, so maybe they were interrupted. The confusing part is that all of this seems to have been done shortly after we were there last. The weeds and briers that we’ve intentionally let grow in front of the doors weren’t disturbed and show a couple months’ worth of new growth. We plan to change the doors and reinforce the doorframes, but that’s a project that has to wait now for Spring.
I also now have an additional person to add to my stores. A newly-widowed relative has just moved back to this area. Her husband was ex-military and kept their house fully stocked, but she cleared everything out when he died.
That widow sounds very foolish to have thrown out the supplies-But maybe she was in a fog of grief. Lightning

This past Sat we had our preparedness group out and the kids all carved pumpkins and we had a campfire while the adults dealt with guns and ammo and other prepping issues. Lightning

Frost/freeze has killed the fall stuff so I guess I’ve eaten the last tomatoes etc. the green of the potatoes is hurt too.. so I’ll be digging up the last of those.. The chickens have slowed down laying and it’s time to kill off the 2 year olds weekend after next.
Winterized the bees.. Cleaned out the garage.. and packed up the extractor..
Trimmed trees .. so they grow up and in better shape in spring..
I’ll be turning it all under soon, and mixing in the Chicken and Quail droppings to overwinter.
About to start on getting Unca Sam to pay for Solar 1/3 and the state another 3rd.. Plans are 10kW.. we’ll see .. and it will be the beginning of a barn on the other end with Rain Catchers .. probably 1200 gallons .. and maybe .. just maybe a root cellar in the barn… Have to draw out my plans and see where is sits so the hay isn’t screwed with to bad.. Still have to do a well.. but it may be a spring thing..
about to work on table meet.. with some mineral blocks etc..
Building and upgrading bags for fam.. investing in medical.. and some food
Tried a couple meals from stores .. worked well .. so all good..
There’s a few other less public things as well..
