[EPS]

Got the Country Living grain mill & motor mounted onto its foundation. Next I get to take it apart again, to finish the foundation. Planning to put some beautiful leather on it.

Some things seem to take forever, but are worth the wait. Cornbread tonight!

 

[The Heretic]

I don't drink coffee. I have some in the freezer in a foil pack. I have some instant in a jar in the pantry. For trading or for family that needs it.

Brought home another 15 gallons of gas; filling up a 55 gallon drum I have a pump for. Another 15 gallons and it will be full. Then I will fill the cans again for more storage.

 

[Howard1955]

Cornbread never materialized. Somewhere in the day, our meal-planning took a hard left turn into a White Trash cookbook. Cornmeal was used to fry catfish and make hush puppies. More corn, on the cob, and some cheesy grits have made me fat and happy. Feels almost like I'm down home in Louisiana.

 

[The Heretic]

Wrapped a British belt axe handle with Titan SurvivorCord. Probably going to dip the end in Plastidip.

Got my first 11 eggs from my chickens. Ate them all with the wife and kids. Rhode Island Red and Easter egged laying. Still waiting on another egged and a buff Orpington to start laying so I can get up to 4 per day.

Helping encourage the economy in Weed?

Picked up 3 free double-pane windows for an outbuilding; made with 99% repurposed materials.

Free windows are much cheaper than plywood...

 

[Oathkeeper1775]

I'm just the "buzy bee"; back to back preparedness posts...

Changed the sparkplugs, front brake pads, and the O2 sensor on the 98 k1500 (aka money pit). The O2 (1402) code has been active for about 5 years....finally gotter done.

Did the u joints on both drive lines last month.

Much cheaper than a new truck.

 

[notazombie]

Money pit? Not if you ask me. Everything you listed is regular wear items over the last 20 years. Machines need maintenance.

• Ran about 100 rounds (give or take) through the new Walther PPK/S to test things out.
• Order another magazine for the aforementioned pistola.
  
• Bought another wool army blanket.
• Acquired even more canned corned beef. mmmm.
• Loaded up the range bag for some shooting I'll be doing with the AR-15 SBR tomorrow.
• Downloaded Hawaii's nuke guide though, frankly, it is nothing new.
• Order another range gong. The primary one @ the home range is pretty much shot out.
• Setup a new ammo storage can (paint, label, etc.).
• Looked for, and bookmarked, some more NATO jerry cans. I need to take a count and move things around in the upper shed tomorrow before placing the order though.

 

[Oathkeeper1775]

Sharpend and oiled some pioneer tools, got another "free" tarp and some diamond-faced honing blocks (25% off coupon) at Harbor Freight.

Repaired a couple pairs of leather gloves.

I did a bunch of shooting with this one today and, dang, it ran like a top. Zero malfunctions, plenty accurate, so good to go. As planned, it is my primary preparedness-oriented carbine.

Knocking down Maple to feed the Woodstove in winter 2018-19

 

[OldTengu]

Rotated food stock, picked up a new soft rifle case and snagged a 25 pack of 00 buck for 9.99

 

[The Heretic]

Ordered some Leupold binocs from Midway that were on sale for a good price - BX-2 Acadia compacts, 10x32mm for $90.

Got them yesterday.

Very nice. Clear, seem to have decent light, focus way down and up. Twist out eye cups. Plug in objective covers, covers for eye pieces, and a carrying case and strap.

I believe that if SHTF and I am away from home that I will need binocs whether on foot or in a vehicle to see trouble ahead before I get close to it on my way home. I have spotting scopes at home, including a Leupold 10-20x compact, but binocs would be good for more general work. I have a cheap pair of 8x20 but they are nowhere near as good as these Leupolds, although smaller and lighter.

A good buy.

BINOs (as I refer to them) also help at night if/when NVGs are not available.

Yesterday's case was a bit short for the shotgun I had bought it for, so, I'm going to go buy something that will fit in it today!

Anyone hear of any deals?
