Picked up an SKS and a Mosin Nagant carbine! Excited to try them out this weekend. The SKS at least. Nagant didnt come with the head space tool. So got to wait until I can pick one of them up.
Also am going to the homestead to work on putting in the floor in the living room today!

Today, around 5 pm I learned I need to have my handgun easier to get to. I was on the phone and the tv was on, when I heard a noise that at first sounded like something fell. Ended the call and went to check on the noise, thinking I would see what I thought was something that fell. As I stepped into the living room, I heard the same noise. It was like somebody was jerking on the storm door. I immediately grabbed the landline phone & gun & dialed 911. It took me about 1.5 mins to get the gun and about 15 mins for the police to get here. I was alone & there was no car here. I flipped the porch light on to let it be known that someone was in the house.

My gun has found a new (and much closer) spot to reside.

I just replenished my stocks on the commercial style MRE's for the last year. I don't buy much, but they are sure handy when you just don't have time to cook / failed to bring a meal when you are out and about.

More pallets (3).
Taught my daughter names of types of birds today, like the Oregon Junco, Towhees and Ravens.
Also quizzed her on animal scat. She has deer, elk, llama, horse and bird down.

completely stripped down my mosin and cleaned all of the metal surfaces... i mean there wasn't a screw left to be undone... pretty simple gun, i was able to do it all without a manual.

i'm gong to 'borrow' the heat gun from work next week to get the stock cosmo free... then it's time to hear my baby roar!

I ordered three cases of Mountain House from Safe Castle Royal. Figure if I cannot buy bullets, I can still buy food.

In a long list of things to get done on the preparedess front, I made a big step forward on the precious metals front....not the copper jacketed kind!

My order should arrive in a few days.

Pushed snow. Some for free - like the neighbors who are older themselves or care for an elderly parent/neighbor, some for cash - just people around town to make a few bucks for more preps.

Built the hive boxes and top bars for my warre hives, hopefully I'll be done with them this week

Yesterday I cleared out our shed and squared away all of my gardening tools, Sharpened the axe head and shovel blade. Bought a new handle for the hand hoe and changed it over for the old splintered one.

I have been training our new puppy to come and sit so that has taken up some time. I know that this is not exactly prep however it’s good to have an obedient dog who is able to follow your commands if there is a chaotic situation.

Added more simple food stocks during the week + increased my battery, household candle and dog food supply.

Just updated my 13 skills page.

Pruned an OLD standard pear tree to half it's size and chipped up the debris which was not firewood
Pruned a cherry tree to an appropriate size and got the dead wood off
Layer started 10 Blackcaps (kinda like a cross between a blackberry and raspberry)
Decided where to put the small fruits section of the farm and started preparing for that
Finished the new floor in Z's office
Stained 3/4 roundstock for floor trim
Cut all the Scotch Broom from a section of the farm

Finished one part of the garden today.

On a sad note: My Flemish Giant rabbit lost her babies. I think she miscarried.

I got more than 3/4 of the flooring in the living room! Hope to get the rest done this week.

Pruned my raspberries. Getting them ready for the move.

FINALLY received my upper from cheaper than dirt. Put it on my recently assembled lower. The wife's upper will be here approximately 1-1-14 accordingly to CTD. Scheduled a home brew class for me and a coworker. Bought four 15 gallon plastic food grade barrels with bungs for 10 bucks each. Good for storing fuel or water. Got bung wrenches and siphon pumps too. PM me in the Denver area if you want to find out where to get these barrels. They are great a nd clean.

Today I bought the Steven Harris Battery Bank Videos, watched them and made some notes on what I'm going to put together for backup power. I have to say that if you're just getting into this stuff, and are a visual learner like myself, the videos are great material.

I'm about halfway toward having everything I need to get going.
