So what did you put away this week?

Got a grocery bag FULL of various cut mints for free(from a friend's leftovers that didn't sell at farmer's market) that I started drying as soon as I got home. There was a couple bunches of lemon balm in there too. Also picked up some cukes for free I wanna try pickling.

 

4-10/20 Round 308 PMAGS, 25 Boxes of 12 Gauge Winchester Super Target 2-3/4" #8 Lead 1-1/8 Ounce 1200 fps 25 Round Box, 10 Boxes Prvi Partizan Ammo 308 Winchester 145 Grain NATO Full Metal Jacket Ammunition

 

These two


A bit rusty but nothing bad really. Now all I need is a use for them, haha

 

I need one of those, myself. As secure storage on my hunting property. I'm having a small problem with thieves.

 

ive been stocking up on vet wrap they have had it on ale at all the tractor supplies 3 roles for 5 bucks ... that stuff is handy as hell....

 

Got a new all American canner to replace the one the ex took.

 

$49 shipped and I bit...

1000' Foot OD Olive Paracord Type III Military Specification 550 USA made.

 

2 water barrels of 55 gals each, a Berkey water filter, more bullets and primers.

 

Outfitted one of the closets with 12"x19" wire shelves (the sides of a small closet) for food storage. Had the daughter help, taught her a little about power tools, a level, determining where to drill the holes, etc.

 

Teach 'em young about tools and DIY. As a kid, I had no idea we were poor. I thought everyone did their own plumbing electrical , carpentry, and drywall. I learned how to solder joints at 6.

 

Wife got a deal on Kiddie Fire Extinguishers at work. Picked up 5 2.5lb "kitchen size" units for ten bucks each from a vendor at her employer's. Three for the house & one for each vehicle.

 

Where did you find the ammo?

 

Picked up a two man cross cut saw and 2 Military cleaning kits for 30 bucks at a county wide garage sale.

 

If you do not already have one, invest in a saw-set for it .

 

I thought I was done but noticed I can get 3 more face cord of wood into one of the barns. So that will make 33 face cord. If we don't burn it all this season, then I'll have a jump on the next.

 

Picked one and a half bushels of apples this morning. (Corts and Macoun's) The Mrs is making applesauce and we'll be canning it by the pint this afternoon. The house smells wonderfull right now ! Every time I get to sit down with a bowl of warm cinnamony applesauce I feel like I'm five years old sitting in Nana's kitchen eatin' applesauce.

 

I can't stand cinnamon in foods, myself. desserts yes, but can't stand it in chili. That is why I will not eat at Skyline chili. (can't get it without cinnamon)
