Starting June 1st, the power companies in my state are jacking up prices, my provider is going up 35.4%. This is a big change, and realistically shows the real cost of inflation across all markets. The media can say inflation rates are dropping, but when my money doesn’t stretch nearly as far as it didContinue reading “Power and sanity”

So, it appears that we may be on the edge of WWIII. Russian markets are down, Russia is invading part of Ukraine. I am betting that when markets open tomorrow, they will be under $30K. I tend to pay attention but not overly worry, but these tensions have been rising for a while now. TheContinue reading “Whatever tomorrow brings…”

While prepping doesn’t seemingly include things like computers, at least full desktop computers, life still must go on. Kids have school work, I have bills to pay and regular computer related tasks. I got mad the other day when I was paying bills. My old laptop was just not loading. It was taking forever toContinue reading “New to me computer”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/fringe-ideas-going-mainstream-us-050101780.html This is just one story I saw today pushing propaganda against Republicans as we head toward the mid-terms. There is certainly going to be a push, but what is sad is that so many people believe everything they read even when they have seen the exact opposite with their own eyes. My predictions forContinue reading “Watch the propaganda machine in the U.S. leading up to the mid-term elections.”

Hello everyone. I am positive for a second time with Covid-19. The first time was Nov. 4th, 2020. This one is today, Jan. 26th, 2022. So here is how this happened. 2 people I work with were sick over the weekend. I was around them both Jan. 22nd and 23rd. I was off January 24thContinue reading “COVID-19 round 2”

So, as I have mentioned many times before, every time I go grocery shopping, I buy flats of vegetables. They have always been $.49/can. Today, corn was down to $.44/can. I know it isn’t much, but at this time, this seems very odd, but I can dig it. I did notice the lack of juice.Continue reading “Interesting occurrence at Aldi’s”

This is a short post that will be expanded on later on. I ordered a QDX from QRP Labs and finally got the shipped email. This is a small kit that you can run digital modes on with just the QDX, an antenna, power source and the computer. I am also getting a new tabletContinue reading “Adding to Emergency comms”

I have had some dental issues throughout the last couple of months. Nothing major up front, but things come up. I had my annual cleaning, but got mandated at work. I was rescheduled. Then my son was sent home quarantined, so I had to reschedule. Then my dentist had her baby, so I was rescheduled.Continue reading “Taking care of yourself”

It has been a little while since I have posted, and the reason is rather simple. Work. Mandates around other people out sick, holidays and stuff around the house. We have had a lot of rain making a mucky mess for the goats. I know how cliche new years resolutions have gotten, but I amContinue reading “A New year, more too come.”

I have not written in a little while. No reason other than just doing other things. I had ordered the chimney and through-wall kit for my wood stove, got new fire bricks for said stove, wire brushed the wood stove to apply polish and got 2 cords of wood. I needed to build something toContinue reading “It has been a while”
