I am still saying that the elections will bring terrorist action designed to influence the election. If youre in a city where the conventions are being held, I hope youre getting ready for..whatever.

Friends came to visit the other day. They have 320 acres in New Mexico. Half a section of land with a reliable 50-year-old well. Mmmm….build a nice bunker on 320 acres. Heck, thats about, what, one mile by a half mile….of course, its in a desert but once you have water youve pretty much got your biggest problem licked, Id imagine.

Shot the AK on paper this weekend. Its tough with the black-on-black sights shooting at a black target. However, it shows definite promise and is more accurate than the Chinese versions Ive had in the past. Before I get completely swayed by it, I should drag my HBAR out for a spin and remind myself that accuracy counts.

Ive a little four-day field exercise coming up. Backpacking off into the boonies and testing gear. My feet hurt just thinking about it. But, its an excellent way to test gear in ‘real world’ conditions as well as work on the usual map/compass skills.

My library is getting stale. Ive re-read all the books in there a dozen times. I need some new ones…esp. regarding home construction/fabrication inc. earth-sheltered homes, geodesic domes and concrete structures.
