Before the rain started today, we turned a bed in preparation for planting and this particular raised bed is infested with grubs. Need to go get some nematodes. Wife saw quite a few in a second bed as well, so I'll be investigating that one too. I'm thinking I'll do a grub treatment on the whole yard, and use nematodes on the food producing areas.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Been busy they last couple of weeks. Prepped the 11 planting beds, got all of them weeded and cleaned out. Ill bring in some steer manure to add to them today, then plant them when things get a little warmer. The wife retired last month and has been helping a bunch outside. She started nine tomato plants inside and will be starting the peppers soon. I'm going to put covers over the panting beds using PVC and plastic in a couple of weeks. The last couple of storms would have trashed it good.
I've been reloading a bunch of rifle and picked up another RCBS Rockchucker. Went through and got all my stuff for my Dillion together to get it running. Hopefully it will be going this week.
Just received a Snugpak tent I ordered for my son. As I look at it is looks better and better. I need to get it to him soon or he might not get it. Also got a Snugpak shelter for my daughter's BOB.
Taught a class on Terrorism Response to my daughter's CERT class in Ashland, Oregon over the weekend. They are a great group of people.

I installed a front hitch on the F350. 500lb tongue weight capacity, 9000lb pull. I have a cargo caddy installed, can fit 2 coolers on it. Ready for hotter weather and more work.
That's the ultimate tailgating accessory. I so want to put a receiver on the front of my TOY. Good on ya. That's awesome and will be so useful!

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
I spent the last three days on the range teaching and shooting. Tomorrow I will be training a nice couple who work at one of the local hospitals. The do have some weapons and were talking to a mutual friend who recommended the get instruction since they did not have a clue about them. But the gun store told them "this is the best gun for home defense", I hate when they do that. My friend recommended me to teach them firearms. I do not usually go outside of the public safety realm but I will make an exception for EMS. It should be interesting.

Built a cedar privacy wall next to my new porch deck. Tomorrow it gets painted, we got 16 small galvanized buckets for the herbs that will be hanging on them, and we'll be planting those tomorrow. Lots of thyme, basil, oregano, dill, Rosemary, lavender, peppermint, sage, etc.

Good friend and I went to the outdoor paintball fields. Joined in with about 30 other people and went to war. Granted it is not the real thing but every little bit helps.

Its been a busy weekend for me. You'll see in their own threads I got my Model 19 out of lay away, and picked up another trailer. I also got a truck bed tool box and 185 piece Craftsman tool box for my truck.
Last week I got a 4' firestilk antenna, cable, swr meter, and mounting stud to install my CB radio, but I haven't installed it yet. Need one more piece of cable yet, and to be honest, I'm a bit leery about taking my headliner out to do it. Gonna have to just dive in eventually.
I've got a bit of "folding cash" earmarked for emergencies that I'll keep on me, my initial emergency fund filled, and more saved in the bank. The transfer from working for the City of Detroit to another company has been good to me.
Not prep related, but I also made a down payment on 2000 HD 883 Sportster.
Oh, and I "might have" purchased a .308 caliber rifle of some sort or another.
I'm hacking that debt zombie apart piece by piece, but its getting there, so its time to start rebuilding my credit as well. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, and all that, but working my current plan is definitely minimizing that.
Its been a good week.

Good for you on the debt. I'm working on my too. It is like an anchor.
