Had a lot of bits and pieces from that era but nothing I could use, a lot of chochkies. Got to have them dry cleaned but they are all virgin wool in excellent condition, no holes.

    good chance those blankets were 5-6 years older - the Korean War was all WW2 retreads ....

    Cool My FIL and uncles time then. Wasn't able to snag the ammo cases or the footlocker as I was 15th in the door. Couple of guys that deal in military items grabbed them Glad I was able to get the blankets before them then.

    Got a pressure canner Friday. DH saw it in local store for under 90$ Now just got to get the hot plate burner to cook on. Don't think I want to chance using the glass top stove. Would rather pay the $180 for the cast iron one I saw on Amazon than spend $400-$500 on a new stove.
    Oh yeah flooring is done but when I went to do laundry Tuesday the pipe connecting the new laundry room sprang a leak. SO we've had the fans going since Tuesday to dry up after DH pushed the water to the clear out valve for sewer in that room Only problem is all my old costumes and Klingon outfits were in the room, hope I can salvage them and still get them out on CL.Wish me luck LOL

    Ordered solar chargers for our cell phones. They will be kept in the vehicles. If needed when we are home, they are easy enough to grab, but if we are out on the road and they are home whtn shtf, not so easy to grab!

    Preparing to dehydrate lots of Fuji apples tomorrow!
