I've given up, at least for a while.

I'm hunkering down. I'm going to concentrate on my land and improving it. Not full Prepper but definitely a bigger garden and probably some feed corn; maybe an acre or two. I'm going to fix up the old chicken coop and get some hens for eggs and meat. If feeder pigs are cheap this spring I'll probably buy one or two for fattening by next fall. So over the winter I'm going to make a smoke house.

I was out in the woods the past couple of hours down by my creek. Nice and pretty today. Sunny and mid 60’s. Quiet this time of year. Plenty of birds but not much singing as it's not breeding season. The red birds are starting to test fight. Anyway, the creek is pretty stagnant—water in pools and not flowing very much. I'm thinking about how to build a dam.

Anyway I think I've been inside the house way too much and need to be out there--away from the computer, too.

I haven’t been cmmenting on the Sunday political shows lately because I’ve been going to church. I do appreciate those who do participate, though, and appreciate you hosting the thread, AB.

I hear ya on the “hunkering down” concept, AB, AND getting away from the computer. Hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving this year.
