Are you tired of being prepared? GO READ THIS>>> http://thoughtsfromfrankandfern.blogspot.com/2015/05/are-you-tired-of-being-prepared.html I had to go read it! Tired, really? It seems my whole life has been in preparedness since I was born. Raised in a religion that was based on being ready for the End of The World at any moment. We neither know the day or the hour when it will come. So for me I am a prepared person down to my bones. Even when I go to work on a project...I think of everything I will need from start to end. Get really mad when I forget something too! It a real world situation that one mistake could cost ya your life!  I am not saying that we need to live in fear of living our lives. We just need to be a bit more prepared even for things like your house caught on fire. Do you have extra pair of britches and a tshirt or shoes somewhere so when you are caught in your underwear in the middle of the night you have something to put on? Or if you are in rural...

  Storms came in Thursday with fair warning. We headed for the storm shelter which is cozy for two people and three dogs but it does it job! The front door of the container is a bugger to try to shut from the inside especially when you have high winds working against ya. So Friday Mtn Man went to work fixin this issue so we will be safer in our shelter.  First he had to remove the door handles which are long rails you twist to shut. For the last year we have had a rope attached so we can pull it shut and tie it to the inside hooks. After Thursday nights high winds, hail and torrential rain he decided we needed a better system. Mtn Man went to welding on new handles which required cutting a hole in the box to put the handle in. Then put another handle on to make things easier to shut from the outside and two brackets for locking from the outside and one on the inside. The end result is fabulous! May not look pretty but it is functional! ******************...
