Fall and winter preps

[tactical_2012]

I just added a Glock 20/20 recover brace to my get home bag paired with my G19 w/rmr. I am easily able to hit targets at 50-100yards. This thing rocks.

We purchased a second incubator for eggs so we can be hatching every 12 days or so. Right now we have a lot more duck eggs than chicken, so the ducks hatch every 28 days. We put duck, turkey and guinea eggs in the same incubator to try a mixed hatch. So far it is working, we have hatched 5 ducks, 3 turkey and 1 guinea. I ordered plucker fingers so I can build a whiz bang plucker along with heat shrink bags. Water is always our biggest issue, but qoth controlling run off, we are able to have water for the animals most of the time without hauling it in.
I have stocked up on jars, and our garden is starting to produce. It isn't overly large, but I'm hoping to put up more vegetables than most years. I am trying the tire method for potatos this year and so far it seems to be working. We try to produce as much of our own food as possible. At work, my coworkers always enjoy my 'farm fresh' food. A few have started buying from me, including half hogs and now half beefs.
A root cellar is definitely in the works, but until time frees up, that is on hold. The water well is still in my thoughts, and I'm hoping to get it drilled early spring. It would take a lot of stress off of me and my vehicles. Hauling water in is no fun and expensive.

That sounds like a great start to your setup!

I'd like to see a pic or 2 of that assembled, if possible.

Costco on Quincy & Wadsworth has no limits on meat (except 1 kind of bacon) that I saw, with plenty available today. 88% fresh ground beef for $3.79 if anyone is still looking.

Thanks for update. The Costco on 92nd and Sheridan was limiting to 1 per person of chicken. I was about to buy breasts and wings though.

Thanks. Interesting item.

I picked up a ruger charger in 9mm then added the brace this morning. The rds is way forward, as i was shooting it like a regular hand gun before the brace arrived.

King Soopers has 2lbs packs of Strawberries on sale for 2 for $3. Just picked up 40lbs for a little over $30!

Great to know! Thanks.

Right now, Sam's Club has the 9+ lb pork loins at $1.58/lb, which is far less than the $3.38/lb they were asking for at the beginning of June (when they actually had them). I've heard rumor that this is still from the previously-frozen stock on hand. They had very little bone-in chicken (save for the 2-packs of roasters they normally carry for $.92/lb) and they had a bunch of chicken breasts that were discounted slightly because they were getting close to the sell-by date, at $1.72/lb.

They had a sale on the #4.5/lb packs of ground beef (90/10) going for under $3.00/lb.

Just FYI, and it may be something you really don't want to think about- if this fall is handled anything like this last lockdown, you'll want to pick up "girl's stuff" if you live with any ladies that are having monthlies or are close to the age/weight for their monthly cycle to begin. I understand items such as tampons and pads were difficult to come by. Be sure you find out what their preferred brand/sizes are. Don't just buy generic unless they request it!

Just dropped $400 at Amazon last night on hygiene items. Lots of TP available still . Just trying to even avoid stores as much as possible in the next several months.
