If you feel like you really need to do something, do like I did, buy a farm. You will work harder than you ever did getting a paycheck. ALWAYS something to do or mend or fix. After a few years you'll come to appreciate the word procrastination. It's really not a bad word. There's always something to do tomorrow and nothing to do today.

Recommendations for basic training in Middle Tennessee
brat replied to 10-Ring's topic in Training Discussions
Exactly this. In 30 years, we didn't do a bunch of "run and gun". Focused on surviving a confrontation and getting back home. Likely a skill everyone could use. Plus one on Agape in my opinion. A little biased perhaps since I worked with Ken. He is a straight up guy. -
This ^^^^ That's like asking to pick you favorite child. Each has it's good and it's bad. Missing is the number one reason for reloads, regardless of capacity.

Might consider Vortex Crossfire II. Likely one for you under 2 bills. American Owned, Veteran Owned, Family owned and operated. VIP warranty and good customer service.

Yep, read it. It was that book that started me down the road to finally get off my keester and start getting ready for worse things to come. Haven't read the others. Spent the money on stuff for worse days.

I raise blackberries, muscadines, grapes, elderberries and use them all in wine, seedless jams, syrups for colds/virus/infections, etc... These are from this mornings quick pick on my rows. All together about 3 1/2 gallons, a relative normal pick every two to three days. Had three nine to ten gallons days earlier in the season. Average between 36 and 43 gallons a season the last four years. This year will eclipse 50 I'm positive thanks to all the rain this season. Except for what the family pilfers, I freeze all of mine in 2 quart vac bags with about 1/3 cup of sugar to juice them and help preserve. When time comes to process, just take out what I need and either steam juice and can for syrup, press for wine or run thru a Squeezo for seedless jam. Takes a little investment for wine (good link above) but other than the consumable additives, will last if taken care of. Wine making is easy, most critical is having everything sterile. Plenty of recipes all over the web and most encourage trying different blends of juices. I have 5 gallons of blackberry/elderberry in carboy now along with another 5 gallon carboy of blackberry. Plenty of places to order supplies as well. I like a sweet after dinner wine so one thing to keep in mind is that the more alcohol you make, the less sweet the end product. I try to maintain a 10-12% that suits my palate, more importantly the wife's. There is some truth to the old saying... "Drunk wife, happy life". I've had good luck with this company over the years..... https://labelpeelers.com/ Steam juicers and a Squeeo can be found on the intraweb. My old aluminum 1930-40's era Squeeo came off of ebay. Better built, no plastic parts. Sqeezo makes making seedless jams a breeze. If you like jelly, the steam juicer is the bomb, in my opinion, especially for elderberry. Good luck and don't be afraid to experiment. Everyone I know has had to throw out a batch or two over the years.

Especially since there is an average of 75+ people moving to Nashville area every day, mostly from New Jersey and other northern states. Hopefully they are escaping the tyranny and not part of the "turn red states blue" movement.
