Not Much Going On
I apologize, folks, but I’ve been absolutely too busy to think much about what to write, this week. I’m in the middle of an inter-office shift in my day job, and at home–well, it’s springtime. It’s the “springtime” stuff that … Continue reading
Cat’s Out of the Bottle, Djinni Won’t Get in the Bag
The inescapable news of the last week or so is, of course, the Mueller Report. Basically no-one has actually read it yet, so I’m not going to spend much time on it. But “not much” is not “none.” Frankly, I’m … Continue reading

More Rain Falling
Even as I sit here typing, there’s rain–it’s been more or less constant for the last 36 hours or so. It’s Monday afternoon; I’m getting this down and “in the can” a bit earlier than normal. If you’ve been living … Continue reading

This time around, I’m taking a break from the Family Survival Planning list, and taking a look around at the Status Quo around the homestead. It’s springtime, after all, which means things are about to get busy. The weather has … Continue reading
Readiness is a State of Mind
We’re getting ready for the first frost of the season! Have you converted your BoBs and GHBs for the cold? Warm clothes, probably a lighter, some matches, maybe a candle-in-a-can for heat (for the car…). It would be a good … Continue reading
And we’re back!
Hi, folks! Thanks for putting up with my absence for the last few weeks, but it turns out that a week (semi-)primitive camping, sort of, was just what the doctor ordered. I’m rejuvenated now, and ready to go! I learned … Continue reading
Early Springtime Thoughts
Springtime “officially” comes tomorrow, and given the weather this winter, it couldn’t come soon enough. I’m eager to get things in the ground–just as soon as I can actually see the ground, after all the snow has melted. Of course, … Continue reading

It all starts somewhere…
So, this week, I had intended to talk equipment. And by equipment, I meant the BoB, and GHB, and other “survivalist” sorts of equipment. Then, as they will, things went sort of pear-shaped. My source of distraction today is a … Continue reading

Or Better Yet, Try to Fix It
We’re back! I hope everyone had a pleasant Independence Day, despite the shenanigans going on in the Capitol. Speaking of such, how about the mess Dear Leader has gotten himself into over this last week? Despite anything his apologists might … Continue reading →
