...now's the time to ramble on...

...never fails, i get a thought rolling around the ol' noodle thinking it'll be a great subject for a post, sit at the 'puter and...nothing...

...complete block...can't even remember what i wanted to write about, or so many unconnected thoughts tumbling in at once as to be completely incoherent...maybe i can get this ball rolling by typing something, anything at all, so maybe this will go somewhere maybe it won't...it is what it is...

...this summer has been tough, tougher than many in the recent past, late last year o.t disappeared...forty hrs if i'm lucky has been the norm for the last twelve months or so...preps have taken a beating, we adjusted lifestyle accordingly but almost too late as it was, side jobs for money turned into side jobs for barter, time for time things mostly...not a bad thing in and of itself but the coffee can stash has dusted up and blew away, been back to the paycheck to paycheck thing...as soon as i get a little stash something comes up, sucks up those pennies and more...expenditures have been righteous, vehicle maintenance/repair, seasonal chores for coming weather etc, but there's just never enough it seems...always having to put off something until next payday, even trips to the grocery store since they closed the local brookshires (and i refuse to shop at chinamart) are problematic at best, the city trips cost an hours travel at least in all directions, texarkana for krogers, hotsprings for a good butcher/meat market causing me to plan the big cooler and ice for either...at least local produce stands saves us a trip or two here and there, it's been wet this year(and last) so that's a plus, love my 'maters and there have been many a local farmer with bumper crops...

...fuck'it...just like now, nowhere to go after that, feels like i should be chiming in with the state of the union crap but that's preaching to the choir...talking about the price of meat making it a luxury item or something, but i don't know any vegans so that's a moot point, cuz we all know how expensive meat has become...seasonal supplementing through  hunting helps, as does fishing when i can, but still preaching to the choir...

...anyway, GodBless all my Brothers and Sisters out there in the sphere, hope the endtimes finds y'all preppin' and Keepin'theFaith, building tribe, making connections...

...Locked, loaded, cached and spent...see ya soon

I hear you. Although I no longer work (age) I try to save what little I can, but something always comes up to take it away. All I can say is keep the faith and be strong. You'll make it.

Hey brother, I know the feeling about writing. My blog sits idle as I coast into the decline with the rest of humanity. Keep your faith in he who matters and keep your family close. We have come to that point where the it is all about to tumble down. Writing seem pretty irrelevant now, just sit back and watch so you know when to jump.

...Brother Scout, i miss you guys man, hope all's well with the clan, tell them i said 'hey'...after all these years i wonder what it will take to make people ball up on TPTB, i really expected shit to go south well before now...conditioning and incrementalism has fulfilled their wants pretty well huh ???

...me and the tribe have decided they will wait for a repukeocrat to win the (s)election before unleashing the dogs of war...just be ready my brother, keep yer shit wired tite...me thinks once they have a scapegoat in office things will get terminal quickly...
