75F and threatening to rain. <\/p>\n
Of course we have a soccer game this morning! <\/p>\n
I’m doing a deep clean on my office and all my work areas as part of a deal with my wife. I get this mess cleaned up, and she doesn’t throw it all out…<\/p>\n
Part of what I’m finding (and the part relevant to prepping) is all the books I’ve been picking up for my PA library. I’m putting them in subject piles in the hallway, and will put them on shelves when I figure out how… because I’ve got about 15 ft of shelf in my office, and 30 ft of books. I’ve managed a really good attempt at the ‘bucket list’ of after the collapse books – https:\/\/zerogov.com\/rekindling-the-flame-after-the-collapse-by-bill-buppert\/<\/a> <\/p>\n I don’t want to bury mine in buckets, I want it out where I can get to it. <\/p>\n My subjects- And separately I have a pretty good collection of the classics of western literature and thought, and a huge sci fi book collection.<\/p>\n I’m a bit heavy on some (6 ft of metalworking, and 3ft stacks of woodworking, outdoors, electronics, construction, and radio) and very light on others like animal husbandry, law, modern lit.<\/p>\n Surprising how much I found and bought for $1-2 each. SERIOUS textbook styles of book too, most vintage except in the medical and woodworking areas.<\/p>\n Overkill? Craziness? Or just an excuse to indulge a love of books?<\/p>\n nick <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 75F and threatening to rain. <\/p>\n Of course we have a soccer game this morning! <\/p>\n I’m doing a deep clean on my office and all my work areas as part of a deal with my wife.
