Greetings fellow patriots! Houston we have a problem! A big one. I'm located in South Louisina 337. On February 28 a white SUV pulled up to the house with red DHS lettering with Texas plates. (Texas WTH i thought y'all were with us) I saw them pull in the drive an met them outside at their truck 2 agents late 40s-50s. They say Hi we are here doing a survey. One agent pulls out 3 volumes (looked like phone books almost sizewise) He ruffles through the pages in first then second volume. He finds my list (The 1 that they don't have). he says so we are doing a survey and we are going around visiting everyone and trying to verify if you own or still have these firearms. He proceeds to show me my list. Every gun i bought from a dealer is on this list. Every one from 22s to Mosin Nagants and everything in between. I was blown away and still am. Many bricks have been shat since then! I told them nah i don't have any of those dangerous baby killers gave them all away after Newtown. They left but sat parked down the road for a couple hours. Probably coordinating drone strike. I have ony told a couple of close friends i trust. I've been tryng to keep it together. The first person i told also had a visit exactly 2 weeks before me. He ordered a questionable part off the net an that's what the agents told him they were after. He lives 5 minutes down the road. I was freaked then but I didn't think anything of it you know he brought it on himself. Until i got a visit. All my stuff is legal and above board. No worries on that part. But then why did i recieve a visit? I don't know i've been gripped with fear since. Keeping watch on my porch, almost sleeping outside some nights. And then yesterday my wife's friends parents who are an hour north of us got a visit. Only the mom was home and she told them to hit the street. These people are farmers and have guns but mostly Fudd guns and relics passed down. The father was going somewhere on business this weekend and next week. He cancelled. Even the Fudds aren't safe from this. My only solace in all of this is the 3 massive volumes the jackboots had. I know i'm not the only one. I don't know what to do?! It took this long for me to tell somebody else. My wife and i are scared [crap]less!I'm not sure if they are testing the waters seeing who will comply. Or if it's something else entirely. Why down here? Why not in Commiefornia or one of these other liberal dreamlands? I thougt we were good we just voted to strengthen the 2nd in our state. i just keep saying in my head. WTF?

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

(Thanks!)

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...

I did not promise, I hoped, and I still do. But, as usual, not-A-now. :-(

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?
