Dealing With Toppling Domino's

We have had a string of expensive domino's toppling in close sequence: first our washer and dryer went out, then our water heater. We thought we were done because that stuff comes in three's---right???

So, we needed to replace an old sofa and we did so.

Then my garage door opener failed. We got that fixed.

Then, the big one: our sewer line backed up. We had it checked and the pipes in the middle of the street (still our responsibility) needed to be replaced. That little gem cost us just shy of $6,000.00.

We seriously need to let our checkbook cool down for a while.

However, I did buy some more .45acp.

 

Been reloading like a banshee with it's tail on fire during the snow, bad weather, and flu recovery. My ammo shelves look like a gun shop's. Ready for spring blasting. Reorganized some shelves and have three lockable stackable kitchen types to find a place for. Have the 32' flat bed trailer road worthy again with a new tongue and more cross braces. It actually looks like a trailer again. Ready for the metal flooring finally.

 

10 cans clams
10 cans of sardines (@.59 per can -kids love 'em!)
case of 12 rice milk
mylar bags finally arrived, so I get to pack up my wheat, yeah!
stocked up on antibiotic ointment (from the dollar store!), more band aids
and disposable razors
1 very large can of TANG (would rather have something a bit healthier, but I don't think there is that much out there with that kind of vitamin C in it)
1 bottle of organic red wine

1000 762 x 39

Found some more Ozarka 3 liters on sale again. Got twenty. Better get the water before the atomic clouds come. More canned food at CostCo, and made 200 more .223. Also put a 400.00 down payment on an AR-10! I'll be looking for more .308 components this week.

 

I am playing it cool this week to let our pocketbook get a rest.

Next week, our food co-op order arrives:
100# Rye Berries
50# Dent Corn
5# Mung Beans for Sprouting
2# Clover Seeds for Sprouting
Bucket Lids
Dulse & Chlorella, just in case of radiation exposure (but I don't think we'll need it)

And our Pleasant Hill Grain Order will arrive:
Lots more Mylar Bags for us and employees, oxy absorbers for employees
Hand Attachment for wheat grinder
Bread bags & Twist ties

Holy Crap we've spent how much?

OK, i think i need to reel it back in, just a bit. (or maybe not)

in the past few weeks I've spent nearly 2700 and the best wife ever had spent over 2200. That means, the party is over. Back to weekly additions as opposed to bulk/massive purchases.

Yep, money is gone. next is building season. followed by planting season, then canning season.

$$ purchases start again a year from now (if the economy stays the same). I'll let you know how the canning goes as we are going to be selling our excess produce at the local farmers market or trading for product we don't produce ourselves.
