    Besides the food I bought, I got 2 bottles of free painkiller at work. A big reason I took my job (besides the paycheck) is that we get all kinds of completely random free vendor samples there. It's highly conducive to prepping. I work in advertising.

    should have posted this earlier. it may not still be valid. low cost rope is always a good deal. 100 ft 1/2 inch poly braid $27.95 not so good price. but, how about 100 ft hanks of 3/8 poly braid at $5.00? i bought 11 hanks. TRACTOR SUPPLY STORE.
    .
    colors are not great for being covert, .... red, white, blue, yellow, and black. they were out of black when i went back to get 9 addition hanks after i bought the first 2.

    Tomorrow, Momma and I turn in our Winter Grocery, Meat & Bread Order. We still have 5 weeks before the last barge, sails from Seattle. This will bring us back up to our comfort level, on Preps, both short and long term. Had to get it done this week, because Momma is leaving for two months, on a Mission to Africa, with her "Doctors without Boarders" Team... I will post some pictures, she sends back as they come in. Yea, She will be a LONG Way from home, so I just have to trust in my God, that she will return, safely. She (alaskachick) will likely be checking in here, from time to time, as there will be a lot of downtime to fill, while she is gone.

    I converted available FRNs fuel but due to recent price increases i've used it up. Next month need to fill up again.

    Heaven only knows what tomorrow (or Monday) is going to bring.

    -06 Monkey+++

    Put in my winter squash transplants, a few more crooknecks, two bean type transplants, beets, while "moma" was putting up pear preserves and pear sauce. She did tomatoes and soup yesterday. Got my reloader room shaping up. Put in two stacks of used kitchen cabinets, made shelves for the back of the desk, installed a 4' florecent, and started resorting things in better places(hopefully). Soon as it cools a bit we will get back to splitting/stacking the wood already down. Have one more large Oak to drop--it is too close to my fig bush row.

    I love summer !

    Fourteen and a half pounds of yummineness !

    Next comes the wash, dry, freeze, divide into 2-cup portions, vacuume bag and freeze.

    Why 2 cup portions ? Because that's what most recipies call for, so says my better half.
    I just do the work... [monkeyeating]

    20lbs of dried beef
    40 cans of soup
    4 cases of ramen noodles
    50lb bag of flour
    and two ceramic water filters.

    I got a nice little bonus from work because we exceeded the target production by 12%. Bosses were so impressed they gave us Visa gift cards. I went to the local Aldi market and then to a bulk food store. The ceramic filters I had on order and they just happen to come in this week.

    LogOut. Those berries don't look safe to Eat. I can take those off your hands to prevent any food poisoning.
