    While on a business trip, I had some free time, so I found and picked up WalMart Ammo for .22 and .45, researched Ruger 10/22 and all the cool upgrades like pistol grip and adjustable stock/ rail options available for it. Saw a couple of 10/22's at the same WalMart. Looked for reasonably priced .30 Carbine ammo- no luck. Practiced some knotcraft with paracord. Showed a buddy the way to wrap a bunch of paracord and not get it knotted up, encouraged a buddy to get his concealed carry permit for his home state. Added a couple of items to the grocery list for the pantry. Read some selected sections of the old "Bushcraft" book.
    Checked out some maps of a local Wildlife Management area for potential hike routes and trout fishing locations and potential fall deer hunting locations.
    Arranged pantry when I got home from trip, since a well-arranged pantry is an ongoing step to shelter-in-place food prepping.
    Still saving money for that generator switch!

    After putting off the fight with my old Onen generator for too long I finaly got it running last night.While I had the battery charging I decided to give pull starting a shot.I dont think I will try that again unless the motor has had time to warm up.I did learn not to keep the pull cord stored on the pully.Once I got the genny started (using the battery)the pull cord with its plastic handle whipped around like it was possesed.Then flew off the pully just under the speed of sound accross my garage.This is going on the list of things never to do again.

    Ran 100' of 1" (Very expensive) copper waterline from the well to the shop building site. Bought two glocks, and 1,750 rounds on ammo. Also bought four LED tactical rail lights, and one more green laser. Regretfully I have rediscovered how sore one is the day after, 13 hours of extreme manual labor.

    So - no more hauling water from the creek? How deep do you need to put that water line to keep it from freezing/bursting?
