This weeks preps check-in

Well, we have never gone so long without mowing the pastures. Just one horse now, so not much need to keep them that way. Next month though, boarding 5 more horses, so we went out there. Grass up to waist high, and lots of bushes.

We have a mowing attachment for our Bush Hog. Holy cow! It mowed over all of it. I didn't think it would, but man, it went right through it. I am so impressed with farm implements at this moment. Kept me from doing the bunny habitat, but I did get around to making fencing repairs.

Since I already have on hand 7/20w solar panels and several battery packs/(AA/AAA) charging stations for the panels I put in an ordered for,
NiMH pre-Charged 4th generation batteries
48 eneloop AAA (radios and lights)
48 eneloop AA (lights)
12 eneloop 'D' Spacers (primarily use for my Streamlight siege lanterns)

The panels, battery packs/chargers, radios and batteries should all fit nicely in my plano extra large pistol/accessories hard case

hopefully the threads are self sealing never the less, still a risk

 

[jontte]

they should be...I know there's a risk in it..but for now

 

[jontte]

have to get some sealant in a small tube too,if needed then use it
just for the risk Maverick pointed out to me,thanks by the way..didn't think that far

I already have a good stock of exam gloves and masks, but I think it may be time to get some of the disposable bunny suits too. Along with some rolls of plastic sheeting, and more bleach.

I hope things smooth out for you! I switched out all my gas lanterns for LED lanterns and been quite happy with the change so far.
