Two Hike Updates Coming

I have a couple hike updates coming soon.  I have to get the pictures resized and organized and find time during the Christmas season to get it done, so stay tuned!

Short Update, Nothing New Under the Sun

It has been a while since we posted anything for your perusal so we decided to go ahead and throw something together at the spur of the moment, mainly a short garden update and mention of a recent hike…

Fall Garden Is In

We have been a little slow to post this one.  With a 2 year old birthday, Church, school, job searches, yard work, garden work, and everything else this fell somewhere far behind the backburner.  Nevertheless our fall garden is in and we are pretty excited about this planting season.  I lack pictures for now but that shouldn’t stop us from talking about it.

Ongoing Motivation – The Emerging Threat of EMP’s

We have mentioned here before the threat of EMP devices, electromagnetic pulse devices, to the power grid, and really to most things electronic.  We have heard various scenarios of how it would immediately place us back in the “dark ages” before electricity and ones of where we would just lose a good majority of the powered devices we rely on, with possibly a few older vehicles and the sort surviving.  It seems someone in Washington is now interested in the matter…

University of Florida IFAS Extension

I mentioned in an earlier story that I was using the University of Florida IFAS Extension to help me with planting my garden. If you live in Florida and are gardening this site appears to be able to help you.

Planting Days Are Here Again

Luckily I made a point to put on the mile long to do list a quick check of planting dates. We have quickly come upon the fall planting season for Florida and to my delight I found a long list of crops for this season. I had earlier bookmarked a link to the University of Florida IFAS Extension. Please don’t ask me what IFAS is. I have no clue. Nevertheless this site contained a wonderful list of Florida crops and their planting dates, and even information on pests and such.

Green Light to Total Money Makeover

We mentioned earlier that this book may get added to the list and it is a definite green light. Here’s a link now and there is also one on the Books page under Financial.
The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness

Now, if you are worried that you are no financial guru or daytrader and will never make heads or tails of the book, throw that worry out the window.

A Dull Slow Pace

As evidenced by our flatlining page views we have not posted too much on the blog lately, and that is certain death for readership.  But hey, today we’re plugging in three new posts so yahoooo!

Today we want to go over what has been going on around here, some of the challenges we have been facing, and anything else we can think to mention.

New Book To Be Added

I probably will be adding a new book to the list soon.  I had been watching this one for some time, I would flip through it a bit in the bookstores, reflect back on it and mull it over, and generally glance at it regularly when I came across it but never pulled the trigger.  It’s a money/personal finance book…

New Survival Alumni Facebook Group

I just created a new survival group the other day on Facebook, that abomination of a time waster.  If you have a Facebook account you will be able to see it, if not you will need to sign up.
