What did you do today to prep?

[Sgt Nambu]

Last night I checked and serviced every flashlight we own. Replaced some battery's and I found one with a burst AAA Duracell! This was not an old battery, perhaps 6-8 months! I caught it in time to save the battery pack with a good soak in in a baking soda solution.

Would you share the recipe for the banking soda solution? I have a battery pack from a predator call I'd like to try to save. Thanks

Ordered a Timney Trigger for an old but reliable deer rifle.

Throw baking soda in warm water! Stir!


LOL! About 1c. Soda to 3c. Water! Soak the pack repeat as necessary!

Hound brass; some HG training. Ordered a Whiskey 3 scope for an old but reliable deer rifle.

Had to look it up. Any good?

Marking out your septic tank location is also a good idea so some dummy Fire Engineer does not run over it going off pavement in a 42,000 pound type one fire engine when he really should not have done so but was ordered by the Captain to do it. So he did. Poor judgment Yikes!! I will not name names.

Back to prepping. I did un box the spare propane cooking burner, plugged in the handy propane bottle and lit her up to make the early AM morning coffee and oatmeal. French roast, double strength, purified water. Old fashioned percolator coffee pot. Quick Oats. Everything worked just great. Yumm, yumm.

Actual fire, or just an alarm (I hope...)?

Crappy deal

I just filled the tank, applied rain-x to the windows, checked all fluids, changed oil and oil filter, and air filter. Been visiting family in California over a month away from home sweet home. Heading back up from socal to my neck of the boonies tomorrow morning. 1300 miles in 3 days, with the wife, two kids, and two dogs.
I CANNOT WAIT TO GET THE EFF OUTTA HERE!!! Was nice to see the family.. came down to help mother in law with cancer surgery. But cannot take another day in this cesspool. Prepping to get back to my safe space, home sweet home. Can't wait to do some freedom mag dumps in my backyard shooting range.

 

[CoastRange57]

I dumped 1.65 inches of rain out of my rain gauge.

 

[Oathkeeper1775]

Some "paper work"

 

[Timbertodd]

Built another trellis so I can plant two beds of peas instead of just one this season.

Ahhh, so you're the reason my PMs to finalize a meetup on that abruptly went silent. Enjoy the bargain.

 

[TeacherSmurf]

We bought a new wood stove.

 

[CountryGent]

I did more work on the earthquake / "the big one" folder; checked off a few more items on the checklist. I also finally got some movement on installing a seismic valve on the propane tank. Hopefully the parts will be here soon, because a very large propane tank spewing flammable material would be, you know, bad.

Friend and I spent some time dragging more supplies to a supply dump. Left a home made stove out there created from a 20mm ammo can.

I enjoy spending time clunking around in the snow
