    Ordered the bulk of my seeds for the garden this season. Plan on finishing my orders this weekend. Then get started on planning planting dates for various stuff.

    Tomorrow will be spent doing PM's on my tractors and equipment getting them ready for the upcoming season. Also plan on dropping a few more dead trees.

    Finally bought a Condor QPC. Looking for a set of BALCs/CIRAS panels now.
    They say that the cockroaches will be the last creature alive on this earth.
    I intend on being the last person alive still stomping cockroaches.

    spent some time on my sled (snowmobile) on the weekend. May not seem like prepping, but it sure comes in handy for hauling wood, breaking trails, hauling animals, and just plain getting around in the 3-4 feet of snow that we currently have.

    Finished my PM's on my small tractor and mower. Made out a list of additional spares I want to stock for it.

    Tore apart our GHB's and started reworking them. Found I needed to add some extra food. Also cut out a few things to reduce weight and add some space for some warmer clothing.

    We finally got the back pasture bush hogged today. Took the easy route and paid a neighbor . It's amazing what a difference that makes! I am tall, and in many places the grass and brush were over my head. Now it looks so empty.....and ready to have the fence finished, so we can put the horses back there, and hopefully by the end of the year *fingers crossed* a bred cow, maybe a young steer or two. Fencing will be next, no doubt, after we get the darn poll shed finished.

    AK, sorry to hear about your job. Don't rule out TN in your job hunt! Here in the Nashville/Clarksville area, we have a pretty good economy, and jobs all over. My husbands employer is hiring every single day, they employ over 3,000 workers. He has been promoted 4x in just over 1.5 yrs, simply by showing up on time and not not being overly stupid. There are a lot of companies moving to TN (or recently moved here) for all kinds of reasons. So, something to consider I hope something works out for you, and soon!

    I got a pair of gloves today, and I thought of a song, as well as a new line for it

    They're brown, btw.

    Hoe'd and dusted what's left of the taters and harvested some onion's.
    Picked up 2 cases of 1/2 gallon mason jars. A 15 gallon metal washtub, and a 12 gallon metal bucket with lid for chicken feed.
    Gonna build a bigger box to keep the chicks in until they go into the chicken tractor.
    1/2 gallon Jars??? You got my attention!!! Why 1/2 Gallon?

    Back then because I had never seen them before and thought it would be a great idea. We have never "canned" in them, but they are great for storing stuff in. Dried beans, flour, sugar, whatever you can think of. Makes a great sugar jar.
    We don't have anything large enough to can in them, but they would be excellent for spaghetti sauce for a large group, really most anything in large quantities.

    I was looking back at the oldies but goodies and that one caught my eye. Noodles of any shape and size, an opened bucket of stored grains that your working out of would also be good to use these for.
