what did you do this week to prepare

[rebel]

After saving my points and cashing-in my saved coins I was able to pick up a Remington 870 shotgun in 12 ga. I purchased it for turkey hunting. It can use up to 3.5 inch shells. It has the tactical green receiver and barrel (23 inch) with mossy oak furniture. It's lookin' good and the action is smoooooth. For my pattern shot I used 3.5 in #4 with an extra full choke at 50 yards. I found the wad about 10 feet from the target. Anyway, I would recommend this shotgun.

After another quake yesterday, I checked my supplies and needed more propane for the camping stove. So I got a 6 pack or canisters.

I corked up my dandelion wine (after drinking, errrrrr tasting, quite a bit of it first)

I had quite a day of preparation. My Mr. Heater arrived. 80,000 BTU, propane fired. It's a trash can heater so I should be able to stay warm and boil a bit of water.

I also picked up a Ruger SP101 in .357 used although it's in great shape. The guy died last week-end and all his guns were on consignment. Is that just creepy or what? But it is a nice weapon. Thank you, whoever you were and where ever you are.

I also picked up a Maverick 88 in 12 gauge. This one was new. I couldn't stand owning 2 guns from a dead guy (shiver).

anybody know how long the little propane canisters will safely last? If stored indoors or outside?

I've stored those small ones for up to 10 years following the instructions given.

Well, you did ask.
This week we [hubby & I] pulled the tracks, rails, rollers, sprockets, front idler and changed out the broken swing frame on the dozer. And then put it all back together again. Only have to tighten the tracks, and tighten the steering clutches and she's ready to rock and roll.
Now I'm an old grandma. Usually the heaviest work I do is lift a large cup of cofffee. Let's see; what is it they say.......HooRah!!!!

Is that indoors or outdoors?

I would never store propane tanks of any size outdoors for too long. If they happen to get into direct sunlight who knows what could happen. However, I store them in an inside temperature between 60 to 72 degrees And pack then out of the way to avoid anything puncturing. The idea is that they could become small bombs if not handled correctly so I err on the side of caution.

I recently used one that I bought back in the early 80's. I do not store propane indoors for safety reasons. Mine are stored in a storage shed (no temerature control and no insulation) that is subject to whatever temps Mother Nature throws. It worked just fine.

By the way - price sticker on it was 89 cents.

Oh, Hopeak! If only the woman were single!!!!!!!!!!

I do have one of those little propane canisters in the trunk of my car, it's been there for almost a year now.

[Rick]

"Uh, dear. Where did the truck of the car go?"
"It blew up last night. Didn't you hear it?"
"Uh, no."
"It must have been that old propane canister you had in there."
Sarge turns head sideways and looks at car. Thinks out loud. "Sort of looks like a Hummer now."
"Hey, hon. Where's that steel plating I have?"

Ah that's all right, it's a freakin' Ford!

[Sarge47]

I just had a thought, I also have a 5 gallon can of gasoline in there as well. Maybe I'll take the propane out.....probably should, huh?

This thread has 459 posts & 12,169 views(23 pages!), maybe we should "stick it" what do you think?

[Rick]

I think that's sort of a vague question.

[crashdive123]

It has certainly been mentioned to me a time or two in the past.
