    A reintroduction

    Hey y’all, figured since hawgrider gave me the illustrious rank of toaster I’d pop in and reintroduce myself. I’ve been slinking around reading here and there but not posting for a long while. Not long after I joined life happened and everything got put on the back burner to care for my mom. She’s been gone a while now and I’m finally out of the dog and back to trying to actively prep again. I added some firearms which were immediately all lost in tragic boating accidents. Managed to catch wind of covid coming in through social media so was prepared when that rolled in last year and that’s what really kicked off the preparedness with the wife and I again. In the last year we’ve gotten a chickens, rabbits and built a huge garden. I’ll be posting pics of it as time allows. Anyway, my name’s Robbie, I’m an industrial mechanic and spent 5 years before that as an auto mechanic. I’ve been married for almost 20 years and have 2 teenagers. So hopefully I can learn a lot here and provide some insight because it’s done got weird out there.

    A reintroduction

    I figured if a fellow can give me a toaster I might as well swing by. Had a real bad run there for a while, lost my dad, brother and mom, a close friend and an uncle in the span of literally 2 years. Took me a while to get through all the mess but I’ve made my peace with it for the most part.

    Yup it takes time for sure both mine went within 8 months followed by 2 years of a nasty estate battle with a shyster sibling and her piece of crap husband along with chronic pain from a spine injury yeah fun times! Brutal is the best way to describe it.
