    Ruger single six, with interchangeable cylinders to shoot 22lr or 22mag, for the girlfriend. As it is getting past the time to get your garden in here I've noticed more seeds, better varities, and less cost so grabbed up a few more and made up some mixes to give to friends and family.

    Picked up an older small Pop-up Travel Trailer a couple of weeks ago. The wife and I wanted to get out of tent camping and get off the ground, so this is it, for now.

    Now since this is an older model ('88 Coleman Chesapeake), there's a little bit of work to be done to it, but it is usable in it's current condition. Hopefully making a trip to a local State Park this weekend.

    Verified working:
    3-burner stove. Had to replace a rubber type LP gas line that the PO had kinked
    Water faucet & drain. I did find one small leak and fixed it along with replaced all water lines. There is a water line for a freshwater tank, but there is no tank nor external fill port. No big deal, I've got plans to add a small 10 gallon tank. I know it's not allot, but it's enough to put in the TT.
    Refrigerator works on LP, have not tried it yet on 12VDC

    "Winter projects":
    replace canvas, it's original and such is not in the best shape
    Strip ceiling and replace wood that has rotted.

    Misc projects:
    add deep cycle battery
    change BACK TO 7pin wire harness for connecting to tow vehicle (TV)
    Fix furnace - looks like either the flame oriface is blocked or the thermocouple is shot, should be a quick easy fix.
    Install removable solar panels for charging battery
    change incandescent bulbs to LED
    "Fix" modification done to use a window A/C unit with the camper. While it works and it is functional as it is, I can clean it up so it looks better.

    There are some small project to be completed but, like I said, it's very usable as it is now. Not bad for $500.00

    Ammo I am good on, but I still managed to put away some .22 lr

    Rotated out some canned chicken and replaced it and also replaced the food in my vehicle's get home bag.

    Going to a gun show on Sat, picking up some first aid stuff, extra weapon parts (they always magically seem to turn into another AR lol) mags, and whatever else I can manage.

    Mylar bags, O2 ABSORBERS, heat sealer, 5- 5 gallon food grade buckets and a good attitude! Going to give it a shot this week end. My first attempt at long term food storage.

    250 rounds of 6.8SPC
    While putting away beans is important, I find it much less enjoyable than guns and ammo. Will I at some point be satisfied with the size of my ammo horde?

    12 quarts of blackberries in the freezer, minus enough for one delicious blackberry cobbler.

    10 more pounds of blackberries beginning fermentation for a batch of homemade blackberry wine.

    This is the best year for blackberries that we've seen in some time. The bushes are still just drooping with them.
