fat boy extender, good. Not being able to buckle web belt, bad.
I have the Lily pad type. They just flowered today (about five at once, pretty spectacular!). I planted them both as a food/seasoning and to keep pest insects out of the garden. I was planning on adding them to salads, but the last of my lettuce is burning up quick in the mid-July heat. guess I'll have to try the burger thing.
Thanks for the info!

wife found some good medical related books.
two new hurican lamps.
hand crank meat grinder
and some assorted cast iron cookware.
I moved my MREs to the fridge (I have seven of them) so they would last longer. I got 5 5lbs bags of white rice. I got 4 "cans" of salt. How is he best way to store salt? I will be putting th rice into 5 gallon buckets and using the dry ice method to remove the o2 followed by dessicant. Where can I get dessicant?
Just keep your salt dry and it will last forever. Cabingirl posted a source that she uses for mylar and O2 absorbers in this thread http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ar+bags&page=7Quote:

I tried fishing again last week....didn't get any but had lots of fun...it was hot and sunny and just beautiful out (as it seems to always be in this town) so I didn't mind coming out empty handed! I also learned how to shoot a rifle for the first time and did pretty well! I was pretty scared...anxiety worked up a bit but after about 10 minutes of trying to get out of doing it I fired it! :jango: Now I wanna go again!
Picked up six 555 round boxes of 22 lr at Wally's.
What brand did you get?Quote:

These were Winchester. First time I've seen that brand in 22 lr there, but this was a Wally World that I don't pass by to frequently.
Today I cleaned out my hall closet and put 5 cases of water in it. I also put food in plastic tubs in the closet. I separated the food by expiration date, putting the stuff that would expire in 2012 in the back. Each box of food has 2 packages of TP and a package of salt in it too. I went grocery shopping and bought re-fried beans on sale for about .65 cents per can.
I am continuing to walk in our local park every day. It is very hilly and I am getting a good workout.
I don't know if it's the ammo, or just that my 10/22 doesn't like it, but the groups that I shoot with winchester's are almost twice the size of the groups that I shoot with the remingtons.Quote:

Peno... Wish you lived here I have a couple truck loads (or more) of locust and other wood some of it cut in fireplace length that just needs split and some logs that need cut into length. I have offered to give it to several people even offered to HELP CUT AND SPLIT AND LOAD IT but everybody says they'll take it if I finish the work and bring it to them. Not likely!!!Quote:

Finally able to go back to the gym.(this is gonna hurt)
Picked up more ammo, some dry goods, backup water filters.
I cut down a mesquite tree and left the stumps on some pallets to dry. I need to split these up still and its going to be alot of work. I also need to stock up some more canned food for this hurricane season and have fifo system of frinking water bottles.
Ha Ha! Frinking water bottle = Freaking drinking water bottles. Thanks for the chuckle, even though I know it wasn't intentional.
Rick come get it I'll help you cut it I've got a chain saw but don't have a splitter. I'll even furnish the beer while were working.Quote:

a local dunhams was moving across the road so the old store is holding a clearance sale. I found 2 2.5 gallon reliance water jugs with the spiggits in them for 10 dollars each. I was able to talk them down to 5 dollars for both.
I purchased two compasses, an axe, two hobo utensils, bonoculars and a book on wild medicinal plants.
Built a firepit,then tried it out boiling water to clean chickens in,then decided it worked well enough to cook two of the chickens on after cleaning,cooked my whole supper on it actually,2 roasted chickens,fried green tomatoes,corn on the cob,and baby carrots,with roasted marshmallows for desert.
Woo Hoo! Dinner at Nell's.
Sounds great Nell. You were one busy woman today.
Hey grandpa! What's for supper?
I don't know. I'm headin' over to Nells.
Whats for supper tomorrow???
Chicken and dumplings.... with fresh blackberry cobbler for desert,yummy!
