This weekend sparks were flying and in the bad way. Sunday night we had some brief but violent thunderstorms. I was in my room adjusting my SOE single point sling on my AR when I saw a huge spray of sparks shoot out of my wireless router. Even though the router and cable modem were both on a surge protector they were fried. Oddly enough the cheap surround sound player hooked up to the same strip is fine as is the surge protector itself. I have a few takeaways from the situation I’d like to share with you.
Tax Free Weekend and Back to School for preppers
Starting today and running through the weekend in many parts of the country is tax free weekend. It’s mostly for clothes, school supplies and some electronics. Although I don’t support blowing money on things you don’t need, but if you need to replace or upgrade now is the time.
Cooking With Your Preps: Chicken and Collard Greens
Because of some things popping up I had been a bit short on money and did not want to use any savings or cash stash. The only thing I needed was lunch at work for one day. Well I have food storage so lets hit the pantry and whip up something delicious and Paleo friendly.
If it’s Broke Fix It!
I hate the way the world has become a society in love with throwing things away. If it doesn’t work the first choice is the trash can. If it’s just not as fancy and full featured its trash can bound. At what point did the spark to tinker dwindle. What will happen when the systems of support fail and the option of buying the newer, bigger and better don’t exists?

Basically my diet had become a bit off target. This should be a fun way to get back on. Let me tell you the details and invite you to join me on this challenge.
