Well, parts guy at the Suzuki shop "got me", two of the four rearaxle bolts were wrong. Living 15 miles from any store, and it being 7 am, I just got as far as I could, then performed some shovel work on the weeds that my land drag cant get to. Going to get a selection of bolts to stock up, and hopefully finish thye axle, and install chain, and VROOM.
The dozen pickeld eggs have my little fridge stinking to high heaven, becouse I was cheap and baught a "tea pitcher" to pickle the eggs in. I wanted to be able to get them out.
The beer nevr got cold enought to enjoy this morning, with the sweet hot pickles, so look out Wednesday morning.
This was not actually a prep today, but I have not posted about it yet.
Mrs Inor went out and picked us up a Sight Mark 4x50 night vision monocular. Actually, she picked up two because the first one did not work. We did try it and... she loved it, me not so much. The problem is, I wear bifocals and I cannot see through the monocular without removing my glasses. But if I remove them, the monocular is not strong enough to compensate for my prescription. Mrs Inor, being nearsighted, can see through it with or without her glasses.
The other thing I noticed is that you do NOT want to use it with your dominant eye. Once you have looked through it for a spell and take it away, it takes about 5 minutes for your normal vision to return. So if I were using it in a survival situation, I doubt I could use my right eye well enough to shoot if I had been looking through the monocular.
Or maybe it just takes some getting used to. I would be interested in hearing any of your experiences with night vision equipment.
prep of the day, I normally avoid the topic but since its worth getting this area of this forum to kick up a gear will share some of my doings :P
got some chalk and glow sticks for the inch setup (on sale)
working on completing my beginners compound bow (redzone 60Lb 29" draw) looking for a arrow rest that is half decent atm
also working on a on person survival kit that I will also give to family as Xmas gifts (nothing major, fire, water putrefaction, water storage, small folder, and a arrow/spear head, still hunting down the head, and looking at some other little bits)
reorganising the home to accommodate more preps, and working on the "quality" inch bags...

Joined a new forum so I could keep up with information that will be useful if TSHTF......hate change, but have hope that this forum will be more informative than what I saw in the last few weeks over there.

Spent the better part of the day at the range, practicing. See "Tactical Training" section of forum for a complete range report.
Added and rotated pantry stock.
made some "fire starters" for the three truck bags, and a few extra.
Consists of two papertowels folded and rolled up tight, about a foot of aluminum foil, wrapped around papertowel, and a box of matches all doublezipplocked.
It was too dang hot outside for any labor, so I had to do something.
