And yes we (as a family) bike or walk EVERYWHERE in town- only if we are getting more than 5 bags of groceries or the equivalent do we even consider taking a motor vehicle - and those sort of shopping trips are usually once a quarter (at most) all day trips going 200+ miles one way anyways. Living _very_ rural has downsides for health especially if your profession is very sedentary.JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-86246363586809918952014-08-18T16:25:07.042-07:002014-08-18T16:25:07.042-07:00I think this diet isn't workable if there isn&...I think this diet isn't workable if there isn't SOME distance to home. Course, even in a small town if you go crazy biking everywhere and don't own a car it might be close to feasible.

But I can say with some confidence that the weightlifting (boxes packages totes furniture) involved in moving helps my health even more- if it weren't for the lack of sleep involved with moving (and the long driving) I would recommend it as an exercise regimen. But the lack of sleep leads the body to crave caffeine and sugar and the long drives promotes fat development. <br />SO - I recommend everyone get their junk land close enough to employment to bike to while they develop it, and use muscle power for as much of the development as possible. <br />I am going this week to use shovel and tractor to make and clear ditches.JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-44165367490823584212014-08-18T06:40:16.016-07:002014-08-18T06:40:16.016-07:00The last two Wally sprayers I bought sucked.The last two Wally sprayers I bought sucked.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-81793535391471789402014-08-18T06:39:37.227-07:002014-08-18T06:39:37.227-07:00Not a bad investment, even for one that can go up ...Not a bad investment, even for one that can go up in smoke ( good Christ on a skateboard, I'm feeling witty today ).

The state and federal tobacco taxes are usually for processed tobacco products. The federal government and most state governments define tobacco as "processed" the moment you run a tobacco leaf through a shredder, making shredded tobacco product. A manual, hand crank shredder can be purchased inexpensively on Amazon. <br /><br />In other words, you do not have to pay taxes (in most states, anyway) when buying bulk tobacco in uncut leaf form. You can buy an entire bale of tobacco and pay only the customary sales tax. This allows you to circumvent the outrageously high "sin" tax. <br /><br />Consider this. Tobacco can be stored for years in a cool, dry place. In a post die-off world tobacco will be considered a valuable delicacy. Tobacco lovers will gladly barter food and ammo for an ounce of fine Virginia golden leaf. Hell, the local warlord may trade his most nubile teenage concubine for half a pound.<br /><br />What is the moral of this story? Once things shake out in a post die off world a man with a storeroom full of cigarette tobacco and moonshine liquor will find himself a wealthy man, up to his ass in nubile teenage concubines. <br /><br />He will learn the true meaning of Sin tax!<br /><br />Tip of the day. Netflix will allow you a free 30 day trial. During the 30 day trial you can watch movies and tv shows online anywhere you can get a reasonably fast Internet connection. The workplace and the local public library are good candidates. At the end of the 30 day trial period, you log into your online account and cancel it. It costs you nothing, other than the minimal time and effort of setting up the account and then canceling it. Billy B.

Amazing how much this helps the mind to get out of that place, if even for a short period.<br />It will be some time until I can try putting any weight on my left leg though.<br />I've been working like a dog in theropy and the theropist states that I'm her best in upper body strength and balance. Therefore she cleared me for a break away from the madhouse....<br /><br />Once again I want to thak those which have helped me out, especially you Sir James. For this you will hold a place in my heart as a truley righteous dude !<br /><br />For sure fitness is a subject which we all as preppers should concentrate on.<br />It will do you no good to have stockpiles of preps if you are fat and out of shape when the times are tough. Especially if you become injured as I have. Being in shape before the fact has certainly helped speed up my healing process. <br />Next week I'll know much more as to the long term effect my surgery had on the pelvis and leg. Then I'll know more if ever I'll be able to walk normal again.<br /><br />Keep up the good work James !<br />Your loyal minion,<br />SpudSpudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689059709873763146noreply@blogger.com
