Not Much Going On

Posted on 04/11/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

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 →

A Little Taste of Summer

Posted on 02/22/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

The weather right now is being uncooperative. After a couple of warm days last week, we had an inch and a half of snow on Saturday, followed by low 60’s on Sunday. As I write this on Wednesday evening, we’re … Continue reading →

Assessments

The last year has certainly had its share of ups and downs… In some ways, it’s hard to believe that eleven months ago and change, we were thinking “there’s no way they actually nominated that goof, and expect to win…”  … Continue reading →

Posted on 03/30/2017 by leftwingsurvivalist

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 →

And we’re back!

Posted on 08/20/2015 by leftwingsurvivalist

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

Posted on 03/19/2015 by leftwingsurvivalist

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 →

We’re back!

Posted on 01/08/2015 by leftwingsurvivalist

Now They’ve Done It

Posted on 10/09/2014 by leftwingsurvivalist

Well, the world keeps flirting with total chaos… Closest to home, our ‘domestic’ Ebola patient died. I’m not surprised–this is, after all, an illness with no medical cure, and a strain that’s running over a 50% mortality. In fact, so … Continue reading →

To bed

Posted on 09/25/2014 by leftwingsurvivalist

Well, with the first licks of autumn touching us this week, it’s definitely time to put the garden to bed.  We’ve pulled the carrots, and dug up the potatoes–they were small, this year, but we weren’t really paying much attention … Continue reading →

It all starts somewhere…

Posted on 05/22/2014 by leftwingsurvivalist

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 →
