Freezing rain down here early this morning. There was a weird color to the sky I'd never seen before. I'd call it sky jaundice? The grid went down 5 times (Foggy) from 5:30 to 7:00 this morning. It got me to wondering if I'm ignoring the signs. We just lived through a shock nobody was prepared for. Tooln can't get lids. Aldi has been out of decent bacon for a week. Fleet farms processing supply aisle looks like Venezuela. China is going hungry. Fed balance sheet is pushing ten trillion and they still can't hold it up. Deep state is working overtime trying to avoid 4 more years of holding their breath over the chance they'll be hung for treason. Last debate is tonight.
As I was taking a shower by the light of my half charged iPhone, I thought to myself, "Maybe I better double check my zombie apocalypse readiness." I'm not talking about building a california king box spring out of rice a roni, but just simple stuff like flashlights, batteries, first aid, salt, cat food, gypsum, seasonings, an extra propane bottle, and so on. The things that help production, not stockpiled consumer goods. Maybe throw the get-home bag back in the rooster.

I just keep buying more guns and ammo.
Ordered an AR on Monday. Should be ready for pickup early next week. Online ordering from Cabela’s has been pretty convenient. Already got a new hand guard, fore grip, and red dot/laser for it plus 600 rounds coming.

I remember when getting a lid was a whole different meaning. My gun safe is full. Plus several not in the safe at various locations in the house. I feel sorry for the poor bastard who ever tried breaking into my place.

That's another one. I was shooting my rifle in the camp yard over the weekend trying to get that sighted in. I've got some pretty good variance at my target distance, so I tracked down some super Dakota Peter approved ammo that shoots true. I'll try some of that, and if it's still off, I'll move on to other things.
It was a challenge trying to track down specific ammos.

Better not shoot all your ammo up now. Sight it in on the zombies, or sell it for 5x it's value once Biden's tax hits it.
Stock up on meds; Ibuprofen and cough reducers (hard to stay hidden with a cough)... and some Ivermectin and Noromycin 300 for viral and bacterial infections.

I got my costco bale last month. I'm good until May of 2021. By then the common mullein will be up in the clover plots. Once that's exhausted, the chicory will be yielding, then the curly dock,then the sorghum, then the maple leaves etc etc etc. |

I'm still very much a sawdust guy, and always will be. When I got home tuesday afternoon, I did a little work in the office first thing, and when the tp roll was empty, my first instinct was to throw it down the hole. I had to remind myself I was back on the vulnerable grid and here we pay money to landfill that kind of stuff. |

When I bought my AR it came with a red dot I pulled it off and put a scope on it. I may just mount the red dot on one of my pistols that does not have a laser already.

LPVO are the in things for AR these days. Low Power Variable Optics.
1 to 6, 1 to 9. With good ones at 1x there is absolutely no magnification and you can use almost the same as a red dot.
With cheap one 1 might might be 1.2x etc.
