The usual workout plus charging my car spotlight ( and updating the contents of my car kit beyond the 12 hour expected use.) Updating maps and teaching my cell phone to send text messages...

New brakes for the front of my El Camino and Tue. 2 new tires up front. Hopefully will be able to order my Air Bags for the rear. Need more springs to haul the load I run around with.

I spent about 20 minutes showing my wife and son what was actually in the orange backpacks that are in the back of both of our cars. My wife looked kinda horrified at first, but, then she started to realize why people always seem to find me when anyone gets hurt or something breaks. At least they know where to look. My son has had plenty of training on camping and hiking trips. My wife...well, at least if a well intentioned good samaritan arrives, there are things that they might be able to use to help her.

I spent my christmas SEARS gift cards (100$ worth) on a portable jumpstarter/air compressor/light/backup power (their 1150 DIEHARD model) Then i went through my toolbox in my truck and cleaned it out and changed out meds in FAK and reorganized it to put the jumpstarter in there but now have decided to keep it under the Ex-cab seat behind the driver's side. Started to work on my BOB but didn't find the time today.

The rebate for my cell phone finally arrived in the mail in the form of a VISA Gift Card so I went down to the Home Despot and started to rebuild the Emergency Roadside Kit/BOB gear that was stolen out of my car.
I bought a Fiskars Chopping Axe, a Wrecking Bar, and a Shovel. Next I'll spend a gift card that I got for X-Mas on a ratchet set, fire extiguisher, and tow strap.

I have replenished my water supplies (we live near an artesian spring), added some clothes to my BOB, and I'm trying to quit smoking.
