    I bought 400 rounds of .22 magnum ammo for my new Ruger Single Six, and that's about it!

    Went by a local thrift store and found a stainless, one pint pot for a dollar. I'll toss it in one of my packs, it's perfect for Ramen or instant oatmeal.

    Hey Guys! How is everyone?

    I just picked up an evening job at a local grocery store. My 9-5 temp office jobs keep cutting me loose for lack of work. Hopefully, this little part time job will help us stay afloat better in this economy. And even though I cook a lot for my family, I have never formally had any jobs with food service/deli/bakery areas so this means new skills and an increase in my network!!!

    I put a tin can stashed with a few essentials at the allotment. If the house burns down, or the sky falls down, I have copies of stuff there.

    I got a brand new Rambo knife with the handy little survival kit in the hollow handle. A friend got it for a gift and thought I needed it worse that he did. He thought he was giving me something quite valuable and I tried really hard to act like I was way excited about my new knife. Man it was all I could do to not laugh after all of the posts on here about those knives!
    So I threw it in a drawer out in the shop, and will give it to somebody else some day

    Ruger has BX-25 mags in stock as of yesterday. That's 25 round mags for 10/22 family. Got four more just before the ban on 1 July.

    Spent a few hours yesterday cleaning all of my guns, and then spent another hour doing an inventory of my ammo supply.

    And wouldn't you know it? I woke up this morning and discovered that both of my 600 lb. gun safes had been stolen.
