    What's everybody doing today?

    I don't have COVID-19, so that's good. I am finally free to move about the world unimpeded again. Two officers are now out with positive tests and another is under quarantine waiting for test results. Because of all this the state has set up new rules about meetings, using common spaces, sharing...

    What's everybody doing today?

    It's already been one of those days. We had an officer involved incident Sunday morning that resulted in a suspect's arm being broken. A suspect who is now claiming to be the victim of systematic racism. And if that was not enough we also had an officer test positive for COVID-19 this morning...

    Homeschooling for Dummies, Sentry18 Edition

    I will check it out. Thanks. They are journaling based on our "question of the day" which they have to ponder and write about. We actually picked up an art curriculum but it only takes about 12 weeks to complete, so we are saving it for winter time. Will include trips to the art museum and an...

    Guess what happens when you drop your cell phone on the concrete and it lands directly on the corner? You get a new smartphone! That's how my day started. Fortunately the phone is still usable and I was able to order a cheap replacement that has much better specs than my current phone. I...

    Homeschooling for Dummies, Sentry18 Edition

    Very nice @Grimm. I will post pics of ours once it is finally set up just the way the Superintendent wants it. ;) This morning was the first official day of home school for our kids. Wife even made them parade outside for a photo after breakfast holding the obligatory "first day of school 2020"...

    Homeschooling for Dummies, Sentry18 Edition

    The new "mesh" router system is up and running and the internet is definitely faster and covers way more area. Better yet I can monitor exactly what anyone connected to my network is doing. I still need one more PC for every desk to have one, so my laptop will serve in it's place until I can get...

    Preparations Update

    During my "vacation" I relocated about 1/3 of my preps from my residence to our family farm. My parents and my oldest son now live approx. 15 miles away from the farm, my oldest daughter lives about 30 miles away, and we live 40 miles away. So it seems like a better location for everyone to bug...

    What's everybody doing today?

    Got back from vacation last week. Was awesome getting some down time, but I was definitely ready to get back into the swing of things when it was over. Our house is in complete chaos right now, and I am not talking about home schooling. Our oldest son moved out completely (and unexpectedly), so...

    Homeschooling for Dummies, Sentry18 Edition

    We are driving ahead with home schooling. We had each child take an assessment then purchased portions of a Christian influenced curriculum focusing mainly on language arts, math, and US history. A friend of my wife provided us some free curriculum she developed for her kids in the areas of...

    Homeschooling for Dummies, Sentry18 Edition

    I am not in charge of curriculum, itineraries, or shaping minds (the wife is getting that up and running). For the time being I am only in charge of the "classroom". I spent most of the weekend converting the South half of our family room into a home school classroom and updating our internet...

    What's everybody doing today?

    Thanks everyone. I decided to make a push to retire in 2 years. I already have the time in but want to make it to the next pay grade before I turn in my papers. My part time job is to help pad the retirement savings and the Mrs. side business is also taking off and will also go help fund...

    What's everybody doing today?

    I am busier than a one legged man at a butt kicking contest. ;) Because I decided my life wasn't busy enough, I took on a part time job and another volunteer role with a pro-gun group. Of course about the same time my main job decided to get a whole lot busier and I have had to spend a few days...

    What's everybody doing today?

    So far this week I have written 2 articles, created about 10 memes, produced several ads, and of course worked my full time job, spent time with my family, and still managed to be the primary cook and chief dishwasher in my home. Later this week I have a law enforcement funeral to attend, which...

    Happy Independence Day!

    Yeah, I am a day early, but I won't be around this weekend so I thought I would put this one out a bit early! 🇺🇸

    What's everybody doing today?

    Busy day ahead of me (and some of it already behind me). Besides work and my new ventures, I am going to grind up some round and chuck for some smoked hamburgers and start prepping for a lot of grilling, smoking, and a picnic on the 4th of July. Our community is still having both a parade and a...

    What's everybody doing today?

    I am now doing some work as a content producer for a police site and also contributing to a pro 2A group that definitely needs more up to date stuff on their social media. So I am definitely burning the candle at both ends right now. The former actually pays so that I can buy more guns/ammo, the...
