Speaking of tires.... Wife arrived home night before last with a tire going flat. Called AAA. As always in our experience, they were prompt, 40 minutes for a non-emergency, guy put donut on. Big construction staple into sidewall. She made appointment at Discount Tire to replace under warranty. They are unable to replace because AAA guy stripped one for the wheel studs.... <sigh> AAA says they will cover cost of repair. Decided since it was covered, we'll have the dealer do it. Since we have stuff going today and all weekend, first day to get it fixed is next Tuesday. Had to rearrange a few things this weekend and am covering someone's Uber since we can't fit 4 real people into my car. So, best laid plans....
My latest prep was five cases, 18-Count each (90 total), of applesauce cups.

After purchasing new books for my collection, I revisited my existing collection to decide which books to keep and which to donate.

I picked up a bit more .300 Blackout ammo and a few more Lancer L5 Warfighter mags. Not out of an expectation of strife, just like to keep a good stock since price and supply tends to be irregular.

Anticipating conflict is also a valid justification.

True. But ETS is not really an EOTWAWKI kind of place and I'm not a "Doomsday Prepper." I've been a "gun guy" all my life and my collection is kind of built around EBRs and duty-type sidearms. While it's true that nearly all my firearms were designed to be superb fighting weapons, it's also true that shooting is just a lot of fun. Why not both?

Very cool! A spear is a very handy tool/weapon.
