So what did you put away this week?

What? No Partridge In A Pear Tree?

 

The gun collection grew by a 4" blue Python and a Benelli M1 Super 90 Tactical shotgun. I got a .45 LC cylinder for my .44 Remington black powder revolver carbine and I may be about to close the deal on a pair of 1928 Thompson sub-machine guns

 

Nope that one is in the pot...

 

It has been an eclectic week.

and 2 sugar maples.


transplanted 30 raspberry plants

finished building piggys new home. and added double strand of hotwire (one at 6" the other at 18") just in case they decide to test the fence.

 

All you need is the 6" wire that will keep them in. Just check it every so often they will root up clods of dirt and ground out the wire.

I worked on a skill set this weekend, canning. Went to the local farmers market and picked up 30lbs of tomatoes for $5.00. Came home and made 19 pints of "Italian Tomato Sauce".

 

Kerosene, 2 containers (already have 2 camp lanterns and 2 boxes of wicks), and a brand new single burner propane camp stove (already have a propane tank and tabletop sized grill too!). Unfortunately I can only store so much in my apartment, but I do have a month's worth of MREs and bottled water as well. Going to try really hard to get the chunk of land in the boonies and a cabin by this time next year!
