Cut up 4 deer from hunting season and DW canned 3 cases of meat from the deer. Reloaded 100 rounds of 30-06 ammo. Picked of a few groceries for the pantry and got everyone to the dentist. Still alot of things I want to get done but with XMas around the corner its doubtful due to the budget.

My friends and I save all the pumpkins we grow each year that are not used for carving on Halloween and have a big pumpkin shoot. Basically we prop them all on sticks and take turns blasting away. It doesn't take long to burn through 400 rounds of buckshot for this insanely fun activity. The rest are saved for brush hunting and added to my "just in case supply"

I was cleaning out my truck kit and rotating some stuff out. I had things scattered all around the living room, they started asking me what this and that was for, after I showed/told them what somthing was for I pointed out things in their house that would serve the same purpose. After they realized they didn’t have to buy a lot of stuff they asked me help help them gather things together in one kit that’s easy to get to and if needed to load into the car. Now they are letting me help them, set up their pantry to make more storage while making it easier for them to find things.

"It's Shadow's fault! I checked out the solar chargers and decided to give it a try." I'm not certain that the DW will buy this line when my package arrives in a few days. confused

I already use AA rechargables (standard plug in charger) for portable radios. I have definitely saved money after I recouped the cost of the charger and the batteries. I figure that the solar charger will give me greater independence should the power go out. I also liked the feature that allows multiple battery types.

Just FYI - The rechargables are for daily use. I still keep lithium and alkaline batteries for emergency purposes.

Today I took a Red Cross Basic First Aid Course. (free - my company paid for it - but I think they only cost about $25 anyway)
