    I went and got an electric cigarette AND I am going to see an acupuncturist. She has an 85-90% success rate. The Cig is the Blu made in America and the cartridges are also made in America with NO propylene glycol in them. But I'd be happy to be a "quitting" buddy.Lord knows I need the help!!

    You're not the only one, let me know how that blu goes, I did the njoy, and it tasted like tea, which is fine, but, it wasn't the same, I'm certainly willing to try another one. Oh, and don't leave it in the heat of a car, mine melted all the goo out of the inside.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Added some more rice as well as some additional hygiene supplies. Adding a little here and a little there adds up sooo quickly once you've reached a point of having at least six months of everything. The mental comfort factor goes up a bit each time another bag or package of something follows me home. Also picked up a few more assorted parts kits from Harbor Freight earlier this week. With living on a farm there is always ten somethings that needs fixed or maintained or tweaked and those little parts kits are a huge help especially for the price. Harbor Freight is one of those stores it is not a good idea for me to go in to when I have money LOL

    Couple packs of AA and AAA cells, a Grundig G8, a Kaito 16 foot compact antenna, more coffee, and some more soap and TP. Possibly add more to that tomorrow. I *THINK* I may pick up a CB handheld, or a VHF base station, to expand on the whole commo area which I'm regretting I have waited so long to do.

    Also I need to add more medical stuff, more boo boo items, blood stoppers, and some longer term wound care. And a pre-made FAK and fire extinguisher+smoke detector for the new shed.

    Too bad we never got a tax cut for being prepared lol.

    I have been sick for the past 2 weeks or so, but I have still been busy. Finally got the basement in somewhat of an orderly mess. Still need to get rid of a lot of stuff but I'm not ready to die of embarrassment if someone goes downstairs now. We finally have room to shelter there if needed. Also finally got the go kart fixed and it starts on the first pull now. It has been such a great learning experience and has really boosted my confidence. So much so that the "scooter" I went to trade my Mosin for turned out to be an actual motorcycle and I did the trade anyway. I think I can do most of the work myself and sell or trade it in the spring for something good.

    I got some good deals while online shopping: 2 Fenix flashlights and 1 Primus EtaPower Pot for the BOB, 96 rolls of Cottonelle, some Enloop rechargeables and I know I am forgetting something. More TP, a bunch of cold meds and canned goods, flour and rice from Costco.

    Organizing the supply closet with first aid and meds is next on my list. I have 5,001 band aids and half are so old that they are unusable. They still have the little red thread inside to open them! Of course, I find this out as my finger is dripping blood all over.

    What have you done to prep this week?

    Got my free account at the local restaurant supply club using my business license and I'll be, the prices there beat Costco and SAMs by a good 10-20% at least. Spent about $130 and its the first place I've found that has dried beans in bulk and #10 cans of fruit.

    I'm currently puffing on a "tsunami" e-cigarette myself. It tasted horrible at first, but I'm getting used to it, and use it a lot less than I'd be with an actual cigarette... at least when I don't drink.

    Well plans have changed before heading home and that is all about prepping. We are half way there, stopped to help 2 more of our group to pack up and leave for the BOL right now. But that is a good thing just a very sudden change. But in prepping you have to expect sudden change and be able to deal with it.
    I am me,
    I am free,
    You can not change me.

    If you try, you will see,
    That I am unchangeable,
    Because I am me.

    After one heck of a Spring/Summer we decided we needed to take a bit of a break. Camped a little and then spent a week up in the mountians on the TN/NC state line. No phone, internet, traffic, people. A nice cool week at 4200'. Did a bunch of walking, pic takin, and mainly relaxing in a super quite location. I had been sick for a week before we left and generally felt like crap. After this we both feel recharged and ready to go again. Just what we needed.
