Its the start of what I am hoping will be a quiet weekend. People ask me what I do on weekends and the answer is resoundlingly boring…I do all the things that I was supposed to do during the week, but never got around to doing. Things like laundry, housekeeping, grocery shopping, banking, etc, etc. In fact, I get up earlier on weekends than I do on weekdays just so I can try and get it all in the 48 hour window of the weekend.
On top of that normal stuff, I need to do survivalist stuff….run the generator, read the news, see what needs to be purchased or rotated through, work on projects I’ve been wanting to do, find new projects, that sort of thing.
Im hoping that this weekend, if the weather stays nice, I can get out an do some bicycling. Its good exercise and a nice practice for when/if things go sideways and pushing pedals is my only way to get out to safety.
Since the warmer weather is here, and the snow is mostly gone, it’ll be time to go and actually view properties soon. I’ve seen a few that appeal to me, but theyre all a bit east of here. Closer to Great Falls than here. But its a nice excuse to drive along highway 200 and maybe bring a fishing rod along.
My other project, at the moment, is trying to see how many Form 1’s I can push through before my wallet explodes like a hand grenade. I’ve started the paperwork to SBR an Uzi, two MP5 copies, and I think up next will be a Ruger 10/22 Charger Takedown that I’ve kinda fallen in lust with.
So thats it…thats my anticipated weekend – laundry, housekeeping, groceries, and some survivalist stuff if I can fit it in.
Just once, I’d like to have a weekend where I can sleep in, do nothing, go to bed early, and just not to a bloody thing. But.time, tide, and TEOTWAWKI wait for no man. Even me. So, off I go to my chores…..
What about you? Anything going on this weekend?
Yeah I end up doing chores on the weekends a lot. Such is life.
Trying to work some Saturday morning runs into the mix. Also Saturdays we have combat SAMBO class. I’d like to shoot more. Money used to be the issue there but now it is time.
Unrelated I pulled the trigger on an HK45c LEM V7 today. Pretty excited about that whole thing.
Tonight – wait until dark, then take my sons a bit north of Great Falls, where the light doesn’t shine so bright, and see if we can take in the Aurora Borealis, which is supposed to be in top form over the weekend.
After that, take the boys shopping to get mom something for Mother’s Day. She deserves very bit that we can give her.

I’ve had a Charger take-down for years and am very happy with it. Of course it helps to have a local dealer literally across the street from the Ruger plant that makes it.
I’ll be nursing 2 sick calves this weekend. Plan is to transplant the tomato, pepper, cabbage and cauliflower plants into the garden. Wife wants to plant nice looking plants that aren’t edible – okay., you know- happy wife happy life.
We finally have a weekend without rain, so after my bike ride this morning, I will be in the garden most of the day… and I’m smoking a brisket. The aurora was amazing here in South Carolina last night, but we learned that our cameras could pick up color that we couldn’t see with the naked eye.
weed-whacking, followed by car repair, then truck repair. they always seem to break at one time…hopefully see aurora tonight. i was going to sam’s but bad weekend to go anywhere with mom’s day and graduations out the ying yang. good luck retreat hunting/biking.
Yard work, my least favorite thing to do. Absolute waste of time.
I love yard work and find it very therapeutic and healthy for the soul.
Garden work. Yard mowing. Might clean the tier one weapons then back to sorting .mil surplus for later sales.
Since stepping off the hamster wheel, I now have six Saturdays and one Sunday every week to do as I please on my schedule, not theirs.
Sleep is such a waste of time. I will be doing a lot of weeding. I got a new weed pulling tool that works really well. I’m surprised how excited I am about it. We stayed up late last night to look at the Aurora. Will do the same again tonight (if we can stay awake).
veggie sprouts will transplanted into the garden…
setting a newly fabricated cabinet to manage the Berkey…
preparing for the wife’s cancer treatments, prayers appreciated…
Since I am retired weekend chores have become a thing of the past working life. Now I do some everyday so nothing is all right now get it done like when I worked but more like hey I’ll do these 2 things today ( if I feel like it!) and those others in 2 days. ( or 3) . I can now go up to my hunting/ vacation/ retreat during the week when there is no mad traffic rush and sink into mere idolatry and easy pursuits on the weekend, like wife and family times/get togethers. It’s awesome I must say. Only negative: I’m older and at pushing 70 some things are not as easy physically as they once were.
