Cold morning, nice day.  Like Thanksgiving Day. <\/p>\n<p>Well, we did the traditional feast yesterday.  Kids contributed with pies and a casserole.   I just ate.

I took it easy, but didn&#8217;t want to lose all my momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ve got a couple of auction pickups to do.  One for resale, one for Christmas presents.   I&#8217;ve got some people covered, or more than covered, and some that are currently present-less.   And I haven&#8217;t found good White Elephant gifts for my non-prepping hobby get together.  That means I&#8217;m on the prowl for good\/appropriate gifts.  <\/p>\n<p>I also have stuff to do on my truck, like headlight replacement, radio install, stereo install, cleaning&#8230;  and stuff to do around the house.  Many of my neighbors started their Christmas decorating already, so I might do some of that today too.  Who knows?  If I make plans the universe is bound to screw them up somehow, so better to just see what I get done.<\/p>\n<p>The first pass through my stored canned food tells me I need to do some more culling and cleanup.  Add that to the list. Buying food and stacking it is a solid prep though.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always gonna tell you to stack something, even if it&#8217;s just good experiences.  They can keep you warm and sane when the going gets tough.<\/p>\n<p>We can all use a little help when that happens.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cold.
