Conditioning seems to be the pre-eminent item on my list. With the gold and silver market down, I desperately want to increase my poke.

Ammo is good, I will want to improve my take on fishing and hunting so I can start filling all those empty jars in my garage. That's all about access and timing, so will have to network with the locals more.

Will have to help the youngest daughter find work up here so she can relocate in a year as we planned. Hopefully tptb will begrudge us the time.

Otherwise just biding my time here, waiting for the big rock to fall out of the sky, or the ground to open up, or the sun to spit a loogie at us, or the Chinese to finally get fed up with the Fed and trash the dollar.

Something's gotta happen soon. I would hate to think I wasted all this training and resources just to have life go on as usual. All this stuff I have now won't last forever, and I ain't getting any younger.
