What did you do today to prep?

[erudne]

finished phase #1 of painting project

 

[The Heretic]

I relearned a few things I had forgotten:

1) Do a quick walkaround of your machinery before using it. That way you may notice a deflated tire before you leave for work.

2) Past performance does not guarantee future results. Just because you haven't had a flat tire in over a decade doesn't mean you won't have one tomorrow.

3) Check your preps personally. Just because you told the guy at the tire shop to also check your spare when he checks your tires, doesn't mean he will. Check it yourself and you may find that your spare is almost flat.

4) Preps left at home do you no good on the road. A portable 12V air compressor in your truck at home does you no good when you are driving your car and have a flat tire.

C'mon, that's what your lungs are for.

Stalking crows is some difficult work, man! My best success has been out before daylight, practice being invisible and have my .22K Hornet in position. So, not much movement to aim! Good Luck, Coast'!

They are a hard bird to get. Very smart, remember every move you have made on the place, knows when you have a weapon in your hands. Changing up tactics a bit, involves placement of different arms at strategic locations. They are working the mowed clover field across the road, so have not been around for a day or two.

The usual 2 hours of weeding in the garden today, ran the drip system for an hour. Picked a bowl of strawberries and had shortcake and ice cream.

Ordered 2 life straws, and a gutter adapter to catch rain water for our new house. Starting to plan new food storage for said new house.

Loaded wood in PU
built rail fence

Swapped my 10X Super Sniper from the 22LR, sighted at 300 yards onto my 308 varmint rifle, I had to adjust the reticle by 30 MOA elevation and 14 MOA windage to get it on paper... those 1st few shots were embarrassing! Now zeroed somewhere around 400 yards, rifle/scope combo works much better w/this:

Mowed lawn

 

[erudne]

Finished mowing lawn this morning, about 7 hours total

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Dude! You've got too much lawn!!!

 

[Stomper]

Dude, you need to buy some goats! Automatic lawn maintainence and fertilizer machines, and a backup SHTF food source.

 

[erudne]

Irrigation ditches and split wood

 

[Stomper]

You can't eat ditches and firewood...

 

[Caveman Jim]

Bought a set of .223 & 300 blackout dies. Time to start learning to reload.....
Traded 2) 20 round Mags for 2) new 30 windowed Pmags.....

 

[Caveman Jim]

Oh & last month I borrowed a friends Lyman tumbler and cleaned up all the 5.56 & 40S&W brass (thousands) that I had laying around.... Yeah it took a while but got r done.

You can't eat ditches and firewood...

Nope but make reasonable cover for small arms

 

[Sgt Nambu]

You can't eat ditches and firewood...

Watch your wood stack. Food lives in there!

Firewood

Yesterday I went to the goldbug hot springs.2 mile hike and over 1kft in elevation gain.
Luckily there is a cold pool too.Long walk for a fat boy!
Once a week should put me in good shape for hunting season

Finally got to test run my 762NatoRem700 @525 yds w/new scope. Even w/cheap 1980's surplus ammo I was keeping the shots in a 10" circle (from a rest). However I did discover that the factory MarkProX trigger sucks and can not be adjusted below 4 pounds 10 oz which affects accuracy greatly, plus there is a recall on it. A replacement trigger is near $150 but erniethegunsmith sells a replacement spring for $7 to solve those problems!
will shoot again tomorrow taking 25X spotter scope w/me

So this weekend I bought my best friend and co-author 2 boxes of 2twentythree for his birthday. It was the first present opened at a big surprise party.....big surprise I was there as well being 120 miles one way drive and two trips on a ferry. He has a Sig evil black rifle on layaway. Hope he gets it this week.
Also picked up that colored ammo that they wanted to ban for me as well. I still refuse to pat near 10 cents a round for .22LR.
