What have you done this week to prep?

[sbsg2005]

Picked up 1500 12 gauge shells, 500 or so clay pigeons, some lumber and camping gear from dads. He said he did not need it anymore since he does not hold spot shoots or go camping anymore and needs the space in the shop. Went and looked at a house with 3 acres surrounded by 115 acres of woods. Cant see any neighbors from anywhere on the property. Think I can get it for 65,000. Be a big change from living in the city.

Bought a pound of bulk tobacco and vac sealed and put in the fridge. (5) boxes of "00" & 100' of paracord. Little here, a little there.

Bagged (ziplock type) my coffee (Folgers Columbian) pillow packs (10 per bag) and put them in the buckets. I now have one bucket with 70 packets and one with only 40 packets. I will order more next month. I LOVE my coffee!! The order comes with 42 packets per box. (Yes, I have used some in the past "emergency" situation.) The problem (?) it that they are made for commercial pots and one "pillow" is too much for my pot -(I like my coffee strong, but that's too much!) but that's ok, I will just dip out the amount I use and save the rest for the next pot.

I also bought another flint striker. Will get more of those as well.

I ordered some mini infernos from one site, but got a refund because they didn't have them in stock. I was referred to the site where I had originally seen them and ordered from them today. If they work as well as seen on the video, I will order a few more.

I also printed out the instructions for bleach/water purification. (from the link a few posts back. Thank you!)

Yesterday, my son used my truck to pick up some school lockers that one of his friends wanted and he brought home 4 of them. (Yeah! More storage! )(They are still in the back of my truck. ) One is for my grand-daughter's room. I will "snag" the rest. )

Went under the house to spray for termites today, they decided this was the weekend to hatch and alert me to their presence....it appears there is a broken water line as I have about 6" of water down there. Guess I'll be playing in the mud in a confined space next weekend. Took the mower out of mothball, greased it all up, cleaned out the nests, etc...guess what...battery is toast Jumped that puppy and mowed anyways. I'm leaning towards a bulk purchase of tannerite.

Jumped that puppy and mowed anyways.

I do that to mine on a regular basis, but now that it's up and mowing properly I just need to take the battery out of my other mower and move it over.

 

[Iroquois]

Fought with termites for years in my last house. Orkin was useless...you can't put enough poison in the ground to kill the nest...finally got results from Terminex.
NOT CHEAP!!! but what's your home worth. They bait them and switch the bait for
slow acting poison they take back to the nest , killing the nest itself. I recommend
them without reservation.

Picked up more 5 gallon fuel jugs. need to get them filled before gas goes even more ballistic.

Thanks!, looks like I got the job.
It is just a paper shuffle now, and I have to wait for a formal offer from the department head.
After five months, It will be good to be off of unemployment.
