This week I went and bought more sewing materials, patches and thread. Also bought more Israeli bandages of vary sizes as well as more clotting powder. Can you tell what I’m thinking about?
A couple days ago I pulled out my darning needle for the sewing machine and the spare button tin. I was down to only 2 jeans for work. Kinda feel like I have a brand new wardrobe. Can't remember the last time I had a dozen pair of jeans to choose from. The one that was beyond repair got made into shorts. It's not that I can't afford some new pairs but I just hate shopping. The buttons were to repair some of hunnys shirts. It was nice to get a relaxing day of meanding. . . Of course after I got everything out back away hunny brings me a shirt with a torn pocket.This week I went and bought more sewing materials, patches and thread.

We did the same GeorgiaPeachie, too the wife and daughter to town and they picked up a new sewing machine and thread, denim patches and cloth. We got back home last night around 8:30 to find a 350# black bear feasting on a row of my corn, let’s just say i had to scare him off.
Would love to see some pictures! I have material to do more myself stashed away and now that I am still doing the overnight shift I am actually debating not doing a fall garden of at least down sizing it greatly. BUT depending on the election outcome I really don't want to regret not doing the norm. The days are getting shorter and with me sleeping during the day I won't get much daylight to be working outside. At night if I'm home, I can at least sew and not make too much noise so my hunny can sleep. It was nice having my machine out. . . And Christmas is coming.My oldest daughter has been buying and buying material. Has anyone noticed how expensive it is getting and lower in availability too. She is almost finished with 2 large quilts. Have to say they are lovely!
Walmart has had it in stock pretty well, and with a variety. That’s probably regional though.I was going to add to my ammo stash, and cannot find one site that has any .22 ammo. (or at least any type you would want). I have plenty, but, Wow! It's gone!
I’ve always said if you can’t pay cash then you can’t afford it And If you can’t pay cash you can live without it. Its a good philosophy to live by.Food is stocked. We have more clothes than we will every wear out. Started the reloading process for my 6.5 Creedmoor. I will purchase a chronograph this month and be able to start testing the new rounds. Next month (October) I will purchase the Ruger Precision Rimfire 22 LR. (already got ammo for it). December I will purchase the 12 ga. shotgun. Hope to catch an Xmas sale. April I will be joining a private rifle / shotgun range. In July I will purchase the MEC 600 shotgun reloading press. From there I will split my focus between firearms / reloading and garden growing. The shotgun or the shotgun reloading press could switch dates, depending on sales in December. Those are my scheduled preps for this year and the middle of next year. We will continue to build our normal supply stock and medical supplies. Being retired and on a fixed income, all major purchased have to be scheduled ahead. We do not buy anything on credit. Cash or not getting it.
View attachment 11142I I started Hanging rafters on my screened porch addition Today. I just stopped due to it getting dark. Will be nice once I get the metal roof on and have some shade to work under! The white metal roof will reflect a lot of the heat away from the house during the summers and I will have a nice dry and bug free area to cook under from now on. Can’t believe i didn’t do this ages ago. I’m doing it by myself and am a lot slower than I used to be.....
Lol, yeah I’ve noticed it takes a lot longer to recover once you’re in your 50’s too! I finally got smart enough to give up motorcycles also. I still believe being in your car is the most dangerous thing you’ll ever do.Careful on the ladder. Even short falls can be nasty. Looking forward to seeing it done.
