I'm back!I got bored, was going to sprout beans and corn. I did not want to spend large for a small mouthed mason jar with a screen lid. I went to the local Hobby Lobby, bought a single wide mouthed jar, and a 10 pack of Plastic Canvases. They came in different sizes. The 3" was just too small for the wide-mouthed jar. So I popped another dime for the 4.5" circles, went in about 4 squares and cut away. Now I have a screened sprouter for 15 bean soup mix. I am reliably informed all 15 items will sprout, I used to cull out the split peas and legumes to cut down on disappointment when I was helping grade school kids grow things! One teacher used the culled items, and made a soup in a potpourri pot.<br />

I am now, and have been since October, in South Carolina. I have a storage unit in Spokane containing my BioDiesel Jetta, and a few things I thought I'd like to keep.<br />
<br />
I probably should change my blog name as the meth heads stole most all of my locksmithing tools and supplies. I might start up as a locksmith again, but I doubt it!<br />

It was a real tough job. I'd round up some 5 to 7 ounce paper cups, a fifteen bean soup mix, and some miracle gro potting soil. Usually I'd get a dozen plastic spoons too. After a few times, I'd figured out that 5 of the fifteen beans would not grow under this method. I'd saved them the bother of finding this out the hard way. I could shepherd a half dozen classes through growing their ten styles of beans. I wish I'd known of aquaculture back then. My mission was mainly esteem building. Show them they could get some plants to grow. Some of these kids were emboldened to go on to grow more things. Two of them were recently arrested for growing something legal in Washington State, but illegal at the Federal level.

<br />
I figure I should tell the story of Ruby, while she's still alive and she's the only dog who was here when I had a family. <br />
Our Dog Copper had to be put down. He only made a few years past ten. My Rottweiler Chester was moping around and Dad practically ordered me to go get Chester a dog. As Copper was a Cocker Spaniel, Dad thought we should get a Cocker as a replacement. We went out in the country. Really just a few miles down the road. A family there had a litter of pups for sale. The male was already sold. I knew that it was going to be her. She was colored just like a Rottweiler. Yep I'm a racist, live with it! I did bring her sisters to the van to check first, both of them were speckled pups. Dad has a thing against that. They swarmed all over my brother. He is leery of dogs not ours. Was. The pup who became Ruby just lay at his feet and waited for him to respond.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Fast Forward Ten Years-</div>
Dad knew he wasn't much longer for this life. He wanted me to put Ruby down when he died, and have them cremated together. She had been his dog since she came home. She loved the rest of us, but Dad was her favorite. It was slightly cruel, but I told him no. I wouldn't murder Ruby, just so he could have comfort now. It's almost been a year, and Ruby's still going strong. She has a fatty tumor on her back leg. She needs to take care as she goes up the stairs. I hope I will have the strength that Sean and his wife displayed when Ruby's time comes. She's tough and loving, and I have to ask myself if I'll have what it takes to let her go before she feels too much pain.<br />

I am probably the only Scout ever to have built a mini cabin, at every
nightly stop, in a two week hike!
I can't help it! I can't stand living out of a tent!
Now, at 51 years of age, I really hate the idea of sleeping on the
ground. Maybe the teardrop could serve as the bedroom, and kitchen, of
my future mobile lifestyle. me! Two Dogs! and as few possessions
dragging me down as I can manage! I wish I could go back in time and
start over at 17.....<br />

Before I became involved with computers. Before my life went down the track that took me to where I am today. My life would have been so much different if I had went totally the way of the outdoorsman. Watching the episodes again after almost thirty years, I am openly weeping at the end theme of the show. Denice thought "Our Song" was "Psycho Killers" by the Talking Heads. I was gobsmacked when she could sing the Grizzly Adams theme. That really was "Our Song". I am having the loss, almost three years ago, come crashing in on me again. The one woman who really got me, understood me, torn from us so cruelly.<br />
<br />
I just want to go into the wilderness. Hopefully forget the grief, and remember the joy.<br />

I want a good strong corn crop.<br />
So I'll look at the vendors other offerings.<br />
I will have an e-book out with my gleanings gardening.<br />
The popcorn is sprouting OK, the Deer Feed Corn must be what they call an F1 Hybrid. <br />
It isn't showing a sprout, not even a bump! -update- It did about 50-60% germination. <br />
Hickory King Corn is the heirloom variety I'm seeking. <br />

There is a trite old saying. "If you shoot someone with a .25, and he finds out, you're in trouble. Now I have carried on and off for thirty years. Several of those were with a .25. I switched to a .22, because in those bad old Clinton-y days, a box of .25 cost the same as a box of .45. I have shot the .25. It does harsh damage to wood, and it will penetrate a jello jiggler to a depth of 5 to 6 inches. More than adaquate enough.<br />
<br />
There is a lot of snobbery on the internet regarding the .25. And in Real Life! I was regaled one night to an urban legend of a convenience store clerk that was shot in the head with a .25. The bullet traversed under the skin outside the skull and caused minimal damage. The Restaurant Manager regaled me with this tale, I don't know what his motivation was. I informed him that this was a single incident, not a trend. He couldn't even take action on a waitress over a single incident. <br />
<br />
The only reason I started carrying 9mm was the fact that I got a nice Kel-Tec, smaller than the P-64 in Makarov caliber that it replaced. Reloading 9mm was cheaper than 9X18, and easier than .25. Of course now the reverse is true. Damn Obama anyway! With luck the prices will go down before I run through all my 9mm. If I really wanted to be mercenary, I could sell some of the Winchester White Box for current prices!<br />
<br />
Sorry, just ruminating!<br />

I got it up to a foot tall. then someone left the kitchen door open and killed my plants. I am planning to sprout some feed corn, and see if it does ok. I like an ear of corn with my food in season. With the iffy situation regarding my house, I'll skip the 25 chickens. Pity, I'd love eggs with breakfast. Right now the tomato plants are the only thing coming along reliably. I'll do my level best to keep them alive, til it's time to plant them outdoors. They might have to come along on my road-trip to South Carolina. I don't see where I can do my food storage, when I have a bunch of freeloading roomies. I bring in enough foor to feed the whole house for four days. It's gone the next day. If a SHTF situation happens, I'm either putting them on the road, or turning them into dog food! No, scratch that. None of then would be fit to feed to the dogs. To restrain my more homicidal impulses, I decided to make a few pail opening tools.<br />

If anyone would be interested in something like this, I'd charge $10.00 plus reasonable shipping. Those little plastic ones require too much effort. I bet I could pop the lid off by applying this to two or three places. </div>

I'm getting by with a sub caliber chamber adapter for the Mosin Nagant. I got my first one twenty years ago for $49.99 at the Big 5 Sports store! I wish I could get 5 or 10 adapters for cheap! Right now I am back in the single shot era!<br />
<br />
It's not bad! You take your time, and make sure the shot is correct. There is a certain responsibility in making sure you hit with the first shot, when a follow-up shot will take you more than a half-second.John Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04875185117306503147noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462380735624284595.post-78787143169929271602012-11-03T10:22:00.002-07:002012-11-03T11:48:39.882-07:00Prepper ProperationI'm getting an early start, and doing a progressive planting of 'the three sisters'. Corn, Beans, and Squashes. <br />
I have Tomatoes and Peppers on other sides of the house. <br />
I will probably see if I can drop in melons, and cucumbers...<br />
The corn and bean seeds are harvested from feed corn, popcorn, and multi bean soup mixes. The peppers are from the pepper packets given out by the pizza parlors. I'm not big on peppers, but they are a good source of vitamin C, and they can be used in moderation to season almost everything. Tomatoes are good everyday food.<br />
<br />
First is the corn, I got it in a paper towel, hopefully in 10 days of so, It'll be ready for planting. I have a grow light set in the basement ready for adding 3-4 hours on to each end of the day. When I get to 14-18 inches tall, I'll add in beans, then in two weeks I'll add in squash, pumpkins, melons!John Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04875185117306503147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462380735624284595.post-83494852938424840492012-11-02T03:57:00.002-07:002013-02-06T22:08:48.181-08:00Prepper up at 10 2 and 4every month, Extra to needs!<br />

<br />
<span class="userContent">WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?<br /> <br /> 'My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.<br /> <br /> Since Congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.<br /> <br /> This morning I gave the order for a complete remova</span>l of all American forces from Iraq . This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<br />
Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries
which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is
short. The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland
are some of the countries listed there.<br />
<br />
The other list contains
every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on
that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists
later this evening.<br />
<br />
Let me start by saying that effective
immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases indefinitely.
The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for
the costs of the Iraqi war.<br />
<br />
THEN EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER It'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.<br />
<br />
The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world
Hell holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.<br />
<br />
Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France ...<br />
<br />
In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this
money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home.
On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Mess with us and we
will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face
of the earth.<br />
<br />
Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China .<br />
<br />
I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with
France , and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are
retiring from NATO as well.<br />
<br />
I have instructed the Mayor of New
York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in
Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those
vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about
whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of
unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious
Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop
shops in the world. I love New York.<br />
<br />
A special note to our
neighbors: Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot
more of each other, you folks might want to try not ticking us off for a
change.<br />
<br />
Mexico is also on List 2. Its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment.<br />
I will have a couple thousand extra tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to<br />
put 'em? Yep, border security.<br />
<br />
Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.<br />
<br />
We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for
oil in Alaska -which will take care of this country's oil needs for
decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this
decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.<br />
<br />
It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own
citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying,
'darn tootin.'<br />
<br />
Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a
decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of
just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in
America .<br />
It is time to eliminate homelessness<br />
in America . To the nations on List 1,<br />
a final thought. Thank you guys.<br />
We owe you and we won't forget.<br />
<br />
To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.<br />
<br />
God bless America ...<br />
Thank you and good night.'</div>

When I first started carrying concealed, I selected either .22lr or .25acp. All sorts of 'Experts' related tales of how neither round was effective. Stories of how one guy survived being shot by same.<br /><br />Finally I brought out the FBI Uniform Crime Report. Any time one of these wankers started spewing their BS, I'd tell them how many fatalities occurred from each round in any given year. <br /><br />I probably spent more time and effort on that, than I spent actually turning in an assignment. I could at one point tell you every caliber's mortality numbers, correlate it with sales of various calibers. .32 had been in a decline since 1977, .38 dropped off in 1985 when most departments switched to 9mm, I could go on for hours. <br /><br />What I want to say is that....<br />Carrying anything is preferable to carrying nothing.<br />If you wait for the perfect carry gun to carry, you'll die! Probably of old age!John Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04875185117306503147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462380735624284595.post-44416280648054661862012-09-05T15:50:00.000-07:002012-09-05T15:56:17.255-07:00SOS Please Help!<a href="http://fnd.us/c/bM8pf">please help me out.</a>John Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04875185117306503147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462380735624284595.post-81162224506800353022012-09-02T12:35:00.003-07:002012-09-02T12:35:47.665-07:00Don't touch my guns!<iframe frameborder="0" height="360px" scrolling="no" src="http://act.theteaparty.net/7391/defend-our-right-to-bear-arms/wt/?src=widget" width="220px"></iframe>John Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04875185117306503147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462380735624284595.post-43042237548509738862012-09-02T12:33:00.002-07:002012-09-02T12:33:25.467-07:00Prosecute this Punk!<iframe frameborder="0" height="360px" scrolling="no" src="http://act.theteaparty.net/5273/prosecute-eric-holder/wt/?src=widget" width="220px"></iframe>John Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04875185117306503147noreply@blogger.com0
