What did you do today to prep?

Costco is anti 2A.

What's a Reddit?

Costco is anti 2A.

They are. We still shop there. Armed.

A while back (?8-10 years), new to carrying concealed, the door greater at the Salem Costco pointed out my exposed carry (my shirt had flipped up over it).

"Nice gun" or some such non-confrontational statement of fact. I thanked him & flipped back my shirt. Boy howdy was I embarrassed!

Went on with our shop, not too concerned about being trespassed...

This morning was overcast and coolish, so I decided I would do some pressure washing of the driveway and test my homemade "tin cloth" pants and shirtjacket that I put a bunch of SnoSeal on.

I found the wax improved water resistance, but did not make it waterproof, especially the upper areas of the pants that I put less wax on. The jacket was ok, but it didn't get much water on it, so not much of a test. Overall, probably okay for walking thru a light rain for a little while, and wet grass, but not a downpour.

Later I will put some more SnoSeal on the pants, then spray some DWR on both and test again and see if that makes a difference.

6 more rotisserie chickens deboned and shredded, trying to do a bunch of freeze dried candy for a fund raiser so chicken will be done early next week.

Bought a few extra plastic large storage cases (on sale for $7.99/ea) from Costco, for the freeze dried food.

ETA - when I took off my boots, I noticed that my socks were damp (not soaking, just damp). Not from sweating - it wasn't that hot and I didn't do a lot of walking - my feet don't sweat that much anyway. When I pressure wash the washer handle/wand leaks some and gets my boots wet - as in drenched on the outside.

These are my lightest pair of Keen synthetic boots (not leather) - supposed to be "waterproof". Generally they are, this is the first time I've noticed my feet being damp. So I guess they do ok unless soaked in water. I've walked in the rain and wet grass and stuff and not had any noticeable moisture inside. Good to know what their limit is. I didn't notice this until I took the boots off.

Today I will wear my heavier leather Keen hiking boots to see how they hold up. I am also wearing my SnoSeal treated coveralls to test those.

I may be late to the party but I got 4 boxes of MREs from drill.

I hate seeing food getting wasted.

I built another 3x8 planter box for square foot gardening. Bought some 2x2x8 to reinforce my greenhouse frame.

Have been planting yet more fruit trees, a couple more every year.

Need to prune two more this fall, and add nut trees next spring.

Have a lot of salmon from last year's run in bristol bay that is going freezer burned, need to find a good canning recipe asap and get those packed

how are you storing your potatoes?

 

[OrPackrat]

Traditional 6 more rotisserie chickens and this time, an ION bluetooth portable speaker with FM radio and more that I can charge with a basic solar panel

If things go south, I want to enjoy some tunes and a bonus, I can charge my devices off it and it has built in lights, lol...

It's my first Bush and I got about 18 spuds. Let them dry a few day and I am going to eat them. If they are good I will plant more and harvest in Sept.

Just russet potatoes but I want to make sure they taste good since I used a different soil.

We grew Yukon Golds one year. Nothing better than fried potatoes with Onion, garlic, fresh herbs and peppers all right from the garden. Add a couple eggs and some bacon and you just can't eat any better than that.

Hiked seven miles, have not had one bite or drink of anything unhealthy in over a week.

Doctor up my azz about blood sugar level.

Feel great though and clothes are fitting pretty well.
