For The Guys

I need to tag Saturday my YouTube day...

Another great list.

Enjoy.

The Ultimate Survival Caliber

Argue until you're red in face but I believe the lowly .22 caliber long rifle rimfire cartridge is the ultimate survival caliber. Teamed with a Ruger 10/22 it can't be beat. This video proves the round is fatal out to 440 yards.

If you faced a long walk and had the option, which would you prefer to hump - five hundred rounds of .22 or five hundred rounds of any other caliber...think about it.

Fill In the Gaps

I know your stuck inside. So pour a hot beverage of your choice and watch this clip.

Still very good advice.

Need A Book

Then click, here. Our friend, Leigh has written a nice book on homesteading.



If you're so inclined, give it a try. I'm sure she'd appreciate it. I mean, hey, we bloggers need to stick tight.

Only a Second

We have rain, again, this morning. I've only a second as I've just now hung out the welcome sign, and I'm sure Duke is on his way for morning coffee and things need to be placed just so for customers to arrive.

I'll get back you to on the tease...

Until then, take a break. Grab a corncob and head towards the crib.

Perhaps a Good Book

Just outside my office the tinny rasp of rainfall pounds the old metal canopy above the window. The clock over my head pounds the seconds insistently against my wishes. Business is slow during the early hours. It's cool and wet and why slip the blanket when the bed is warm and you've company with which to snuggle.

So, here I sit. I cannot rouse my muse. She is slow to wake which makes my morning, here in the half-light of this office, all the more quiet as the seconds tick my storage of life's calendar.

I need a book. Preferably one which I haven't as yet read. There is the Kindle but I want paper bound in clothe with perhaps the perfume of age. I have such but its located miles to the north and out of my reach. Tick, tick, tick.

The steady beat of time, sucks.
