I sold off a lot of my silver when the Hunt brothers drove the price up, a local wood stove store was taking silver at the inflated price so I bought two wood stoves for our new house for basically pocket change. It was in my coin collection that I had collected in my younger years and I didn't really actively collect anymore. When I cleaned out my parents house I ended up with more silver coins my Dad had collected, that currently fills a couple of ammo boxes in the gun safe. Not sure what I will do with it in the long term. My Dad apparently got rid of a lot of his when the price was up too because I remembered a lot more at one time. Not a big fan of gold and silver as an investment and don't really need the money, so it may just let it sit in the safe for now.

I know drinking water can be used for flushing but I keep them separate because the drinking water gets refreshed at least twice a year and the flushing water doesn't but would use the drinking water if needed. We have a demand water heater so no extra storage there. Before I started refreshing the drink water I put 1/4 tsp/gallon but decided since we are on town water they are already adding chlorine.

I'm in the no EV in my future group also. Only way I would consider an EV would be as a 2nd or 3rd vehicle that was only for local use. To get back to the heater discussion, I commented to a friend up North that has a hybrid that getting stuck in the snow on an interstate like has happened a few times would not be good in a full electric. He had an answer, he said that a solar blanket to cover up with and a heated seat would keep you warm for many days in an EV. I have carried a couple of solar blankets in all our cars for years but never thought about that even in a gas powered vehicle if you have heated seats it would be a good way to keep warm, then you would only have to run the engine every few hours to top off the battery.

Was glad we had a supply of both drinking and flushing water last week. Water went out evening of Christmas Day and was out till Thursday afternoon. I mentioned above about our aging town infrastructure and 3 very cold days and some rolling blackouts blew 30+ main water lines and they shut down 90% of the system some didn't have water for a week. We managed the first 3 days and if I had known it was coming back on in another day we could have made it, but took all my jugs to a friends house in the next town and topped them off on Wednesday. Decided to up my water storage a bit more by adding 9 gallons of sealed bottled water and another 3 gallons of flushing water(jugs on hand). With hind site I have a 15 gallon tank I use for watering trees that could have been filled sitting in my heater garage. I will at least fill that if we know another cold spell is coming, haven't decided if I should just store it filled. Flushing water turned out to be our biggest problem.

Frightening But 100% True Facts About Guns Don't be drink anything while you watch, unless you enjoy snorting liquid through your nose. Don't ask how I know.
