What a bunch of BS

Apparently the whole BS from the Dervaes family and the repressiveness of or URBAN homestead activities is reach new lows/ As you all know the Dervaes bullshit spread to Denver as they are trying to shut down the Denver Urban Homesteaders.. Well F that.
If I want to call myself and Urban Homesteader it because of a bunc of whackos In CA named Dervaes. Its because it is me and mine.
Now it apparently is in Oaklnad where the thought police is haraasing a woman for farming and keeping some small livestock on her own property. See this article. Apparentl the guvt ow thinks they can control what you do on your own property. And what do our fellow "yuppie radical shits" say. Work withing the system and get the rules changed.. Fthat.
FIGHT NOW AND REBEL.
Your guvt is lying to you about radiation, the economy is in a tanker and almost all hope is lost. Do what you want.. For the assbites who might be reading tis from the LHS enjoy.
I am tired of being apologetic for your corruption and BS.

according to a buddy over a survivalblog.com

when life hands out lemons



make lemonade
Last week the lowere heating element n the stove did a number and went byebye. Gotalove modern tech as the new art is gonna cost about the price of a new/ used oven. Then on SUnday evening the dryer stopeed tumbling. Heck I only just got it last year for about $50. I have gone thru 5-6 dryers since the Mrs and I have been married.. She uses it daily..
I guess we will have to start looking for replacements for both..

On SUnday I planted some seeds and wouldnt you know that it would snow on Sunday night and again also on Monday night. Then be in the 50s during both days.. Typical radiactive weather.. Hopefully though this will give the little seeds the moisture they need to germinate.. W shall see.

Friday evening video


Wee I came home this evening and am testing the video camera to make sure we got the problems fixed. Sure looks like we did. It may take a bit to get the titles and credits back online but it will be done..

Enjoy

what happens when you run out


I guess you have 2 choices. Do without or find a way to obtain it.. Depending on the item in question I guess you have 2 choices.. But when it comes to coffee I don't. Thoug I had mentioned to the Mrs yesterday to have one of the kids pick up a can or 2 when they go over to Wallie world I guess it wasnt heard. Because when I got up this morning there was enough for half a pot.. Not hardly enough to get old Trash's ass moving in the morning. So I gulped down a cup and went for a walk about 5am over to the Wallie for a can of coffee and some butter. I thoroughly enjoyed the little jaunt .

I came back to the stead all happy dappy and made a full pot of coffee which Mrs T and I enjoyed. I then went to take my twice a week shower with Dr Robs lavendar and hemp body soap and I was ready to start the friday. Hod on a sec though. When I went out to move the trash cans to the street I heard the sshshssh sound coming from the water heater closet.. A nice littel spritzer was emanating from a connector. So got some more coffee and made the fix.. Took about 10 minutes and so , waranting a cup of coffee I enjoyed that and haded off to Babylon.
BTW the image is of some daffodills i spotted the other day..
