RICK – EVERYDAY'S A HOLIDAY AND EVERYDAY'S A FEAST, SEMPER FI DO OR DIE".

Picked up some drywall screws, nuts, bolts and some 12 penny nails at the flea market this past sunday. Also ordered some silver rounds this morning since silver is below 16.00 an ounce, bought it at $16.38 per ounce from APMEX.

Today my wife made Pagach (3 of them), haven’t had it in at least 6 months, the daughter, her husband and the 3 grandkids were invited to dinner and ate til’ they were full, no leftovers. I probably gained 2 pounds.

I don’t have that issue but if you jump at any loud crack, it’s definantly in your mind and the only way of getting it out of your head is to pratice. It’s mind over matter.

Go to the range as often as possible, you don’t have to shoot, just sit there and listen to others shoot, also, it could be somewhat of PTSD, everybody reacts to PTSD…[Read more]

Yesterday (I) cooked chicken, dumplings and a heavy gravey in the sun oven. Better then my grandma’s.

Went to the outdoor flea market last week and picked up a few items:

mossberg 500c, 20 gauge in decent shape for $90.00
old reel push mower $20.00 (blades need sharpened and adjusted)
wheel barrow with old metal spoked front wheel $10.00 in decent shape
crossbow with recurve limbs and 4 bolts $10.00

The wife picked up some games and puzzles for…[Read more]

Thankx TRex

Can someone tell me where to look for or tell me how you send and/or receive a PM. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find how to do it. Thankx Rick

Cin, you can order them from SHTFandGO.Com or ebay has them sometimes cheaper and they’re from the same company.

The are model H2O DIY and they are SHTFandGO Company name.

They are good (once activated) for 8 months or 1000 gallons of water.

I read the reviews first and then called the company before ordering, 612-888-7483 and had ask a bunch…[Read more]

I ordered and received last week a 4 inch ceramic, silver impregnated dome water filter and decided to use it and have the water tested.

I took water from one of the ponds on the farm, filtered it thru an old coffee maker/filter to get the sediment out and then put it in the five gallon bucket system I built.

I then took the purified water to a…[Read more]

Ice you’re so right about old chickens being tough. Had an old rooster that just didn’t like life, always attacking somebody. It took after the granddaughter last year and it met its fate.

I smoked it long, slow and low heat, just as tender as if it came out of a pot of stew. You ought to try smoking one old chicken, very good.

Cut the lower field yesterday morning and raked it last night, raked it this morning and will rake it tonight, ready to bale tomorrow. Corn is about 18 inches high already considering all the rain we’ve had and very little full sun.

Wife went to a flea market with the daughter on sunday, she picked up some yarn, needles, thread and a double wash…[Read more]

Lionheart1972, seems everything changes, I too am a APN-aholic, but I’ll adjust just like everyone else that wants to partake in this forum. I’m still learning the ropes of the new way things are set up but will slowly learn through trial and error.

I look at it this way, NIP is doing his best and most of all, it’s free.

HVACR, Here in PA we call gun free zones free murder zones.

There’s a local grocery store down town that had a sign (no weapons of any kind permitted in/on store property). The manager of the store couldn’t understand why his store was doing so poorly.

I told him that some moron had put a sign on the front doors leading to the store stating no…[Read more]

Finally, 3 days without rain, planted the tomatoes, peppers and cabbage. Mowed the grass, cut the first cutting of hay, raked it twice and will rake it again in the morning and bale it in the afternoon.

I’ve been planting my potatoes the last two years in 5 gallon buckets (food grade) and they seem to do better and are easier to take care of and…[Read more]

Well, I had hopes it would happen, but deep down inside, I knew it wouldn’t.
Only exception is that I thought the little fat boy would be the one to back out.

With that being said, South Korea and Japan said they would foot the bill if a conflict would break out.

The democrates are having a field day with this. Nancy POO POO Polosy almost lost…[Read more]

Farmer, you can do the same thing (kill bugs) by freezing beans, rice, etc., for several days, also if you put in 02 packets in your maylar bags or jars the bugs die off sooner or later.

Either way, you get free protien with your beans and rice.

Well, finally got power back after 2 days from the bad storms, weathered it just fine with the 3 battery banks, did run the generator a couple of times for the 2 freezers.

Rotated 25 gallon of gas and refilled containers. Sunny today, so cooking a venison stew in the sun oven, should be done in about an hour. Cut the grass and raked it.

About a…[Read more]

I forgot to add in my May post that we have 3 new calf’s or is that calves born this month. Now I can make some extra money by having 3 older cows butchered.
