Bike ride.
Dropped off scuba gear and tank to be checked over.
Plannng on getting recurrent on diving.
Ordered scope for a rifle.

Did a 7.5 mile bike ride

Worked on the basement, I need it close to done for an appraisal for a refinance of the homestead. Finally made a hole in the family room floor to rewire the tv and stereo. Now the good one the gas budget went down, now our main utilities are about $110 a month....that is it we have no electric bill, that is so nice, if the econmy tanks, we eliminate the verizon bill and can survive so much easier.
MrsWind agrees that we should stock up on fabric, since the girls are learning how to sew and that to save fabric she is good with mid thigh skirts and dresses....

Well.. I got my first veggies out of my container garden, and also finally got my NFA trust done (not sure if thats really prep related lol but its been something I have been meaning to do forever)

Got some corn and zucchini to cook tonight fresh from the garden

Thanks to a tip from a brother in this forum, was able to pick up 700 rounds of 12 ga. 00 buck at a great price from Cabela's.

I haven't posted here in a while so here it goes.

Moved another 20 miles from the city to a town of 6k

Almost done building my first aquaponics greenhouse with ten 40 gallon tubs and a 300 gallon fish tank, finished the piping tonight, tomorrow I will fill with water to check for leaks and to make sure it functions correctly before adding media and fish. All except for the fish tank is enclosed in a 10 x 12 green house, this has been a work in progress for the last three months as funds came available.

My girlfriend is due with my first son (my first child, her second) in less than three weeks, so more and more money is going to get ready for the baby, I have been looking for the old school cloth diapers and diaper pins as a prep item.

Haven't added anything to the food storage for a while because the new house were in has very little room, the garage is completely full of preps.

I wish that trailer was close to me because I would buy it. Oh well I guess I will have to settle for buying more ammo and prepps. Damn I would like to buy that trailer.

put together a stripped lower I had. Picked a handfull of strawberries, they are not that great of producers this year after we moved them this spring.

You're going to love it, I'll bet. We got my wife one at the end of last year. So far it's been great although we haven't had the chance to test it in snow yet. It's performed very well in some very heavy rain, however.

9 mile bike ride. Bought some paper towels and toilet paper.

Worked out today, ordered two Outdoor Research long sleeve wool/poly blend zip t-shirts for layering and will probably clean off my reloading bench to crank out some 40 S&W.

It's been a while..... but lots been going on..... been working on renovating and adding on to our yard barn.

Was a 30 year old 12x16, now is a 12x24 plus a 12x8 deck on the back, new foundation and floor lofts and shingles. a total gut and build. even put a 60 by 90 window with side cranks and a door with window on the deck end for a future guest house use.

planted our first garden this year, was a great success.

wintered last year entirely on wood, and although a learning experience we saved over 2k on utilities. Looking forward to it again this year.

rebuilt a flat bottom jon boat as a B.O.B. and utility vehicle for the river we live on.

bought a set of kayaks for hunting on the river. explored the river up and down stream a considerable length.

Started a new career as well as furthered my side business/ambitions.


After four years of struggling with a failing business/bankruptcy and rebuilding my life, I finally feel like I am getting some traction again.

Finally figured out that it's necessary to do so.

Now, where to start.....
