(still)LivingPost

...well...finally got a little puter time,no real news to report on the homefront.No purchases this week...none...using gas stores as we speak...to get back and forth to/from anywhere...got two more 5 gal cans left...used one monday,another today...some how i lost two little cans,one kept for mower and one for 2 cycle mix ?!?!...can't find 'em...looked everywhere...

...it's cold here today,not much to do inside,too cold to be playin' in the yard this eve...did manage to get the pantry 'organised'...for lack of a better term...after packing some stores in the pop-up last week,it gave me some breathing room to start a more managable system on the shelves...on the plus/negative side...got a shitload of spaghetti'O's...don't know how that worked out...but not knocking it,just a disproportionate amount in that pile on that shelf...lol...probably gonna break...lol

...anyway...just gonna do the best i can with what we got...oh yeah !...did manage to find some odds-n-ends that can/will get used...two tall cylinders of mapp gas,and a trigger-torch nozzle...two four packs of 'D'cell duracell batteries(and ironically,the four d-cell lantern with four dead batteries,and ton of corrosion...worked after cleaning it tho)...the expiration date ? Nov...08'...judging from fairly recent batteries,'expiring' in '2012',hafta guess at least four yrs old...found a length of chain,right at 14 foot long...judging from chains at work,probably 8000lb'er...good tow chain,even has clevise hooks on both ends...is rusty,but still 'loose'...soaked it down with WD-40...should be good as new...found a box of firewoks,judging by the pull string partypoppers,left over from newyears '02'...so far everything lit went 'boom'...lol

...so thats it for now,using what i have...stepping back and finding a use for 'it'..or else 'it' is gone...might not be much time left for these types of chores...besides,if i don't stay busy i'll lose my dam mind...knives are sharpened,guns are cleaned,locked and loaded...gear bags checked,every magazine i own is full(Fantastic feeling,in and of itself)...all my 'free' time will be devoted to my 'free'dom...

...now,someone/anyone,fire the first shot and lets get the revolution underway...

Doing what we can, where we are and with what we have is the smartest thing a prepper can do these days. Beats the hell out of runnin to town and spend more money. I think you're doin the right think brother. Stand Fast, Time is NEAR !!

Finding some goodies is always a good thing! A little organization always helps........

Finding stuff is almost like Christmas...and I keep asking myself, "How did I know back then that I would be needing this?"

Guess I was/am smarter than I thought, huh?
