To Buff or Not to Buff

A Buffer, to make things shiny.

Bobbie's cross-stitch

Bobbie finished this masterpiece the other day and it is now hanging in our bathroom.

Training

I am building my endurance by running with a pack on my back. We don't have a scale so I don't know how much it weighed but I put my complete Kevlar vest in the pack. It weighs maybe 30 or 40 lbs. I was pooped.

What in the...

So what is with people not updating their Blog's and such? I can't say much, but I was just wondering why nobody is posting too many comments or updating their Blog's much anymore. Bobbie and I do need to get better at it too. But I seem to be the one who does the posting and I just don't feel much like doing anything after a 11-13 hour day, 5:30-6:30 just about everyday. stinky like poop!

We have started FINALLY

"The best place to have food set aside is in our homes..."

"We can begin ever so modestly. We can begin with one week's food supply and gradually build it to a month and then to three months....I fear that so many feel that a long-term food supply is so far beyond their reach that they make no effort at all"

"Begin in a small way,...and gradually build toward a reasonable objective."

Bobbie and I have made a list of things we need to be better at and one of them is getting our food storage ready. We went down to the Bishop's Storehouse/Cannery Saturday and purchased some food. We now have 29 cans of food and a box of Raman Noodles.

New Car

Here is a look at the newest member of our family. 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid. It has close to the same acceleration of a normal Civic, only it get's above 40 MPG all time. When you come to a stop at a light the engine shuts off completely. It really trips you out the first while. Also the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) does not shift. You just accelerate faster and faster and faster. It drives just like a Honda. Here is a link to learn more about how Hybrids operate.http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question262.htm
