So what did you put away this week?

Another 50# bag of rice.

 

Tucked away another ten pounds of Rice, four pounds of Lentils, four pounds of Split Peas.
Three pounds of Coffee.
Found a long-misplaced stash of reloadable rifle brass....
145 .30-06 cases, and 20 of .303 British.
The .30-06 is destined to be cut-down and reformed into 8mm Mauser. Saves a lot of expense vs. ordering it online.

Helped another riding buddy with some work on his new bike - installing some goodies. Slowly establishing myself as a good 'shade-tree motorcycle mechanic' out here on the west side of town. Good barter skill for the future maybe(?).

 

nothing this week. saving all the $$$$ i can, since I am now unemployed. I was told monday that the store was closing, and our services were no longer needed. But as of Friday, the store was open, and to remain so. what a bunch of a-holes. BUT Ive got LOTS of canned goods stashed away for tough times like this.

 

What store is that, Dawg?

 

As bad as things are, sometimes we just need to remember that there are a lot of people out there who are having even a more difficult time than we are.

 

I will 2nd that.

 

Ordered a bunch of black berry and raspberry plants, a few nut trees, and getting the ground ready for the garden (still winterish here!)
