I’ve Finished Dave Canterbury’s Book, and Will Review It This Week
I’ve finished Dave Canterbury’s book and will review it this week. To give you a heads up, I really liked it. I don’t want to say anymore before I finish polishing the review, but, if you like Dave, you should pick up the book… Now I have to finish one of Cody Lundin’s books and […]
New Twitter Account. Follow Me, Please…
So last night I signed up for a twitter account, and I would really appreciate it if you would follow me, as I’ll be using it from time to time for much shorter communications than the blog itself. To give you an example, if I see a situation that I can comment on later, or […]
Smoked Turkey Update, Turkey Is Smoked and Resting Before Dinner
Well, the Smoked Turkey experiment is almost done. We are fully smoked, and the picture to the left is the turkey as I unplugged the smoker.

I am writing this post, because, it is probably something I should have written several months ago when I started writing a daily blog on my thoughts about suburban survival. I really started getting concerned about what was going on in the world when I saw little progress in Afghanistan and Iraq. I am just as […]
Going to Smoke a Turkey…
Well, I picked up a 12 pound turkey today. Looked up a brining recipe online, thawed it in water for about six or so hours, and now have it brining in the refrigerator for the next 48 hours. This is going to be an interesting experiment, as I need to get my smoker up above […]
Food Prices at Walmart Are Out of Control
Well, I have to rant for a moment. I walked into a Walmart the other day, and honestly, I don’t like doing that. I went through the food section, thinking I would pick up a few items, and I was appalled. What happened to the prices there? They went through the roof. The yellow smiley face […]
Eating Healthier for a Better Life
I just read a blog post on Doctor Prepper this morning ab0ut healthier eating. I try to eat healthy, but if you saw me eat on a business trip, you might think I was addicted to steaks or a junk food junkie. Sad but true. I can say that I probably gain a couple of […]
