Yay! Look what came in today!
Consilio et animis
Essayons!
I just followed suite so Evo and Willie wouldn't feel alone! I hope you get to feeling better soon. As for sex killing you, well that's a fact of life the older you get, but I've always wanted to die in the saddle,lol.
My preps for this week consisted of home hunting and starting the packing process for my move. 23 days til I start work!

You don't need to be the strongest
or the most intelligent to survive
but by having the right tools and
the adaptability of change
is where you will prevail.

Didn't do too much this week Got me a booklet on "How to build an underground root cellar".
Now I just have to figure out where to put it LOL Did find out I'm not the only "nut" in the family, Brother and SIL in Nevada have been prepping for about a year or so. Invited her to check the ants out. I hope they do join, they are great people. I respect him (and her) a lot.
With the assistance of Brownwater Riverrat, I was able to put 2 deer into the freezer this week. That should give me a pretty good start on the meat budget this year.
As a secondary to that, I was able to learn a few new things.
Thanks Again, Brother!

^^^ That BWRR is a good guy. His wife is nice too, just good kinda folks.
Well, today we are celebrating my husband having a Saturday off (9mo out of the year he works 6 days a week) by him going and getting some lumber. Free lumber, which is the very best kind. A guy he works with finished up a building project, and I guess his wife lost her patience on the cleanup. She told him yesterday that the stuff had to be gone TODAY! So, hubby and the boy were there before 8am with the truck and trailer, to get 25+ untreated 2x4's, 8 treated 6x6 posts, a couple treated 4x4 posts, some 2x6's, all 12ft long, and a bunch of other odds and ends pieces, short of 12ft, still very useable. He also said there were a few "sheets", I'm assuming OSB not plywood, but whatever, free is free, and we can use it for something. I feel like we hit the lottery!!! Free lumber? Hells yes!
Also this week we got the horses pole barn started. Hubby dug all the post holes, bless his heart, and his blistered hands. We have the right side mostly framed up, and if the weather cooperates, we should have the sheet metal up this week, they picked up that this morning too, we have a pile of it at his parents house, we never got it moved out here. No rest for the wicked.
So, all in all, not bad, not bad at all!
This is sort of a cross between this week and Christmas, but here goes.
The wife surprised me today with a anvil. Total shock for me. Can;t wait to get it cleaned up and see where it came from, then put it to use. She also got me most of the bits and pieces I need to finish my AR build. My nephew got me a new Petzel 70 lumen headlamp, nice locking carabiner, and a Coleman dual fuel lantern and carry case.
I also found some lithium grease tubes on sale at tractor supply for $1.29 each, got 20 of those. We are off tomorrow to Krogers for some of their 10 for $10 canned goods sale and a bunch of burger to package and freeze.
