When the late Igor and I were camphosts for the USNFS, we had a generator, and found that we were, really, self-sufficient...as long as we had gasoline and MREs, which were just then becoming “popular,” if I may use the word.
I’m glad you are reaching the “I don’t need you, Gumint!” stage in your life!
At this point in my life, I would like an Airstream and whatever else I need to make a home wherever I wanted to park. I really DO miss those days!

"We are officially prepped." I have decided that the furnace has a sufficiently low amperage draw that I can set it up on a small inverter should the need arise.
For longer-term power interruptions, I'll need to start up a gas-powered generator, for the well-pump and refrigerator/freezer.
These are not the most effective solutions, but they have been a good insurance policy. Since investing in them, I haven't really needed to use them.
What I should do now is look to setting up the pantry more effectively.
One thing I know; I'll have a sufficient stock of reading material.

I’m taking my ugly attitude and going to bed. Somehow, it just doesn’t seem right to inflict The Uglies onto the UT

I can’t keep them inside because our whole small home is finished. I might consider putting a spider door in the attic cover, but that is in my bedroom. *shudder*
Outside it rarely goes above freezing dependably during the day until mid-April. In the summer I adopt a few of the best performing spiders, and take the rest outside.
Either way, I am not going to entertain the thought of spider-guilt. If that means I will be reincarnated as a spider, so be it.

Sweetheart, if spiders give you the creeps, then you don’t have to save or babysit them. I’m sure that they survived winters for thousands of years before people came around and built heated tract homes.
I really like them, so I do try to save them, but that’s just me. Most normal people like you get the willies from creepy crawlies. I just never did, from the time I can remember when I was about 2-1/2 years old. They always fascinated me.

Today, I am the ugliest of uglies, and I’m off to bed because I’m getting really edgy.
XOXO

buckeye can be made edible by leaching out the toxins.The Encyclopaedia Britannica says that they are also called American Horse Chestnuts.. (" (A. glabra), also called fetid buckeye and American horse chestnut...")
Before you can try to eat them you need to have them nearby...
Native Americans would blanch them, extracting the tannic acid for use in leather. In addition to using the tannic acid for leatherworking, Native Americans would roast and peel the nut, and mash the contents into a nutritional meal they called "hetuck". ("Hetuck" is the Indian word for "eye of the buck deer".) (From that repository of all the knowledge in the universe, Wikipedia ;-)
Having tasted a Buckeye in my youth growing up in the Buckeye State (one was enough) methinks it would take an awful lot of blanching... This recipe seems easier...

Spiders are cool. I just can’t figure out a way to save them in the winter.
We have this old fire pit that we covered in sticks and brush about 5 years ago. I’m pretty sure that snakes and spiders enjoy a good home there. I try not to go close enough to find out, lol!

What is the meaning of NiMH?Battery charged cat...
Story is told that when the NiMH was younger he would run like crazy everywhere. Then he would lie down and pass out. It was said that he was recharging...
Or maybe something to do with The Secret of...

we have kudzu Is kudzu best served with a balsamic vinegarette or served with a hot bacon/honey (or sugar)/vinegar dressing as in Classic Wilted Lettuce Salad?
