it's nice with those buckets how well you can keep your food preps,first time I used the bucket system I thought that I had in some mysterious way lost some food stuff,they not only keep them dry and covered,it seems like I have more room now and more organized.

I had a three day weekend, and got a lot done. I finished tilling the garden and got it planted. I got everything in except some green beans that I'll let climb the rear fence. I keep a legend/map of what, when and where I plant. I've done it for two years now so I can keep track of what did well and what dosent need to be planted again, or needs to be changed. Luckily we've had plenty of rain, but I started to get my pump going again. The PVC dosent drain well due to hilly terrain, so every spring I have to cut out cracked pipe and replace. I ran out of t fittings, so didn't finish, but hope to tomorrow. I also got a little done on the shelter, installing a door stop that's anchored well into the cement. (Just in case we do ever have a tornado here.). It's all sealed up and is dry and weather tint now. And lastly I finished splitting and stacking a pine tree for next winter. I got the brush piled down by the front creek for an evening around the bonfire soon. I always like moving fowards on whatever projects I have going on. So for the rest of the evening I'm going to enjoy some of the muscadine wine I made and relax. All in all, I had a pretty satisfying weekend.

Yep, I've got to find a good used book store! Also, darn it, you reminded me I need new tires as well. Mayby this weekend. I had to drive to atlanta today, in a really heavy rain, and saw about 6 accidents along the way. People don't think to slow down when the roads are covered in water???

The rain made it bumper to bumper at 10mph with no visibility, even at 10:30 am. Anyways, I survived! I'm safely at home and am canning the twelve pints of turkey broth/stock as we speak.
. I like to tell people now that when I have a third deer cross the road I consider that a bad day in traffic. Life is better in the country.

Just waiting for a cheque from my pension company so I can get the contractors in to convert the garage into a prepping room.

Been busy for the past 3 weeks tapping maple trees. Collected 1000 gallons of sap this year. Have 8 gallons of syrup in my preps and made a few hundred $$ to boot!

I live next to a creek with a four mile hike back to one of the best waterfalls in the area. I really need to take half a day and go. At least if your going to hike, having a scenic place to do it is nice.

Get a hammer, nails and lumber, and save yourself some money. You can then spend it on the supplies for your new room! I'm a big proponent of diy. I could easily help with any advice, and that's a fairly easy project to get started with.

im a big fan,of diy as well..1st reason,is i save money that way..other 2 reasons,is i get what i want in the way of shelves cabinets and/or what ever.plus other ppl dont know what i store there as well..
Family wanted to go to the flemarket today so I took them , knowing I would find some kind of prepps .
I got 1/2 dz pair of thick boot socks for $5 and found a big comercial type butcher knife out of the 1940's or 50's with a slightly curved bowie type blade for $2 . Im going to fefinish and sharpen to make a frountier type survival knife , Iv never seen a knife like it . And then found a Bear White tail 2 compound bow that was set up for bowfishing for $30 I didnt need another bow but picked it up anyway .
Grand kids found lots of toys , I was ready to leave after hearding them around for half a day .
