What have you done this week to prep? PART II

[Magyars]

Just hatched 5 chick's. They're supposed to be Wellsummer, but it appears we have a red headed step child! Picture is not very good...

Found a small engine guy who knows what he's doing...
Got my 25 year old 3500 watt Generac up and running for $40.
Hooked it up to my 12" DeWalt miter saw.
Purrs like a kitten.

Picked up a Westinghouse Igen2550 today. Had a 150$ menards rebate check. Currently have a Generac 10,000 watt generator to run the whole house. It's been converted to run on propane. The research I've done on the 2550 isn't looking good for after market support on mods. Has anyone on here made a extended run time tank for a suitcase generator or converted a Westinghouse to propane?

Over the weekend I spent some time developing a load for my bolt action 308. I'm not 100% happy with where I ended up, but it's something.

This morning, I got a much need wake up call that was a big hit to my pride and ego. I went to the gym for the first time in a long and time and it turns out I don't still have it. I am in such poor shape it's ridiculous. I'm mad at myself for ever letting this happen and there's a plan in place now to correct it.

Also, finished Matthew Brackens books Enemies Foreign and Domestic. Very interesting book to read about days I hope never happen.

Life happens...you can always recognize and remedy the issues.

Since I retired I've lost 35 pounds and gained a lot of strength and endurance. Now that you know where you are you can move forward.

I agree 100%. It takes a little humility to recognize it, but I made sure my butt was back in the gym this morning.

But them now boys.

But them now boys.

First I’ve heard of that, thanks for sharing. That’s gonna be bad news once hurricane season fires up…

 

[Super Bee]

Picked, shucked, cut and vacuum sealed about 75 ear of sweet corn this weekend. Poor FoodSaver pooped out, new one coming today from Amazon.

Skinner sights for the 94/22.

Have you looked here? I have a 2200, but I'm guessing it's the same carb gasket.

Thanks for the link. I'll order one and try it out

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Added watertight storage in the form of a couple plastic Craftsman toolboxes from Lowes (used my military discount) to the rear rack of the quad bike. Have just the perfect amount of room left between them for a couple or fat 50 ammo boxes. That, however, will have to wait for another day. Tested them out by going to pick up the mail, and a few things at the grocery store for the wifey. Bonus is now if a passenger rides, they have armrests.

Wife saw those small DAK hams on sale at CVS of all places, a very good price. So I had her buy them all. They’re made in some foreign country but they are good. With a shelf life like twinkies.

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Added a seat to the quad bike for the pup... She's my TBI service dog (9 years now) so having her with is kind of a 24/7 thing.

 

[Mij]

Yep.

 

[jsharmon7]

Blanched, vacuum-sealed, and froze some fresh green beans and corn on the cob. I’ve got room in the chest freezer for quite a bit more.

 

[snapping turtle]

24 quarts of whole tomatoes attempted.
19 sealed. Going to attempt again.
Next round is salsa this wekend

I mentioned this a year or so ago, I thought I would do it again as a reminder.

There is a small, family owned pharmacy in Fort Wayne where you can get Hydroxychloroquine and and Ivermectin. You can pick up in Fort Wayne or they will mail out your order. They are very nice people and I highly recommend them.

You can also get Z Packs from them. They have a Dr. there on staff. Just a 2 minute questionnaire and they fill it right there. Very handy to have around.

Three Rivers Pharmacy. 260-373-1083

I just took delivery of a rocket stove I bought during Black Friday. I think it cost $64 shipped to my door. It’s too heavy to carry around because it’s made of stainless but it will be good for bug-ins and I’m always looking for alternative ways to boil water and cook if things go sideways:

Flat-Pack Rocket Stove [Portable Twig Stove ] for Camping, Hiking

Our stainless steel flat pack camp stove is fueled by branches and twigs that can be gathered almost anywhere. The extreme temperatures generated by the highly efficient rocket stove design will easily boil water in a few minutes. Can be easily assembled by hand in under a minute. Includes a...
