07:44 – More science kit stuff today. I need to get everything lined up so that we’ll have what we need to build a bunch more subassemblies for kits this weekend.
Most of my time this week was devoted to working on science kit stuff, but here’s what I did to prep this week:
- I started researching gardening issues for the book, or more likely for volume two of the book. Interestingly, the seeds I already stock for science kits–lima beans, onions, and carrots–are all heirloom varieties that are suitable for a long-term food plan.
- I started compiling recipes to test, all of which use only shelf-stable ingredients. Barbara doesn’t believe I can cook, so this should be interesting.
- I spent a fair amount of time preparing for our move up to Jefferson/West Jefferson area in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday with a real estate agent in West Jefferson, discussing what we’re looking for. She sent me dozens of listings to look at, and at some point soon we’ll make another day trip up there to look at homes.
So, what precisely did you do to prepare this week? Tell me about it in the comments.
