So what did you put away this week?

Could be a squirrel thing.

 

Got my R&D workshop better readied to make the jigs and fixtures for the pods. Put a new MoBo in that computater and am back on my way to code monkeying and design monkeying...

More aluminum and vehicle tail light housings...

 

Keep buying aluminum. It's good for business.

 

I am absolutely ignorant about how effective silver solution antimicrobial gel is for de-germing. How does it compare to a brand name triple antibiotic creme? Are there special advantages to using the silver-based product?

 

I love Wal-Mart--gonna check that out!

Thanks for the tip!

 

i got a pair of work gloves yesterday...i know it's not much but they were free...possibility of a few additional pairs

 

48 pack AA batteries and 36oz bottle of peroxide... little here little there...my issue is storage right now. I can't store anything till I have a place to put it!

 

Box of .38 specials.

 

I got some batteries,irish spring soap and found some free dutch oven recipes

 

I've put away my sanity until after the re-election show. Oh and turned off the phone, it's political "Vote for Me" recordings all day long.

 

In Canada we don't have those robocalls...i think they're even illegal here

 

Citizens for Civil Discourse

 

I've actually been having fun with some of them and the pollsters. I listen for a minute, advise them that the tenets of their polls are seriously flawed and then ask to speak to their supervisor.

what would have been normally a 3 minute get out the vote, or vote for this candidate or the other turns into a 15 minute discourse/diatribe on there being more than 2 political parties and that they had best not try forcing people into their nice tailored mainstream media flawed view of the American populace unless they want to end up on welfare as the independents regain control of the country and send them off into the political hinterlands

Longest so far was nearly 20 minutes and 2 upline supervisors. What fun!

I figure if they are going to screw with my dinner, I'm going to give some back and hopefully someone won't make quota.

 

Last week actually. 100 gals of unleaded gas. Best part, 70 of it at $2.12/gal and the remaining 30 gallons at $3.09 / gal. I'll widdle this down to around 40 then refill.

Where in the store were they stocking this? I checked two Walmarts so far and nothing nor did the employees I asked recall seeing anythings. Thanks.

were did u find gas for 2.12 a gallon?

 

I'm heading to a hiking/camping/outdoors impromptu swap meet through Meetup tomorrow. hoping to get a tent, hammock, and packs. then heading to our BIG flea Market here in Northern CA. Looking for things I have never had on my radar before. Indoor alternate heating system (we only have pellet stove, but have a wood stove I saved that we can put back in if have to). Extra gas cans, long term BOB, BOB's for my husband and mother. I am looking forward to reporting back Sunday with a HUGE list of things to mark off my list.

since I have sorta just started...what should I really keep an eye out for?

 

Gas got cheap in town down to $3.12/gal. The local Kroger affliate store has a point system, 10 cents off each gal for each 100 points with a limit of $1.00 a gal off and 35 gallons. One point per dollar spent but they have double points for gift cards. Last month they ran a promotion of quaduple points for gift card purchases. We do shop some with Amazon so we bought 500 bucks worth of Amazon.com gift cards we'll use ourselves and got 2000 points. I have a 100 gal tank I haul to town and fill when gas is cheap and then use when gas prices are high. I estimate we save about 400 bucks a year doing this (I commute). I try to keep it at least half full most of the time. Sometimes when price is high and the world and weather look stable for the next week, I'll run it down then re-fill. Got the tank at a farm store with a 12v pump and I lift it on and off a trailer with my tractor. Pondering a second tank for diesel fuel. Beats the jerry cans but we have those two.
