What I Did To Prep This Week – Week 74: December 15th 2019 – December 21st 2019
Hello Pack. We are nearing the end of another year of prepping. I hope it has been a productive, satisfying, and educational experience for all of us. This week on our survival retreat we have been busy with holiday happenings and a birthday party, but have managed to work in some vital prepping, as well. We are back to that nasty time of year when it is impossible to keep poultry waterers from…

Cast Is A B*#CH!
I wanted to bend an aluminum 16 Gauge pan yesterday sort of impromptu. In my world nothing is ever that simple. The new to me brake had a clamp handle welded on in the wrong place. To bring it past center where it’d stay clamped, I had to grind.
I wonder what the filler was. It ground easily, didn’t clog the stone, and no sparks at all. Throughout the process of grinding I could see tiny cracks in the cast oosing a dark liquid. Water or oil I don’t know.
Ground it, it fit, it worked well, then it broke! The original weldor had only welded the outer shell of the break.
Repair was extensive, I failed to take pictures. It involved cutting away enough material to get to center with 308L filler.
Welding went well with plenty of preheat. As it cooled slowly I could hear crackling sound.

So far it is holding. If it breaks again, I’ll replace it with steel.
Security Information Overload: From Panic to Apathy & the Remedy
Security overload leads to apathy. How often do you hear a car alarm go off and roll your eyes hoping the owner would disable the blasted thing before the incoming headache comes a knocking? The primary objection I have to such systems is they work too well. Every week I hear an alarm being triggered […]

Not dead. Just busy.
I knew it had been a while since my last post, and was feeling guilty about that. The guilt changed to shock when I realized it’s been two weeks since I wrote a word.
Since I wrote a word here, that is. Recently I took on some contract work that, combined with a happy glut of freelance assignments (and holiday preparations), has left me busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.
While I’m loath to post without an actual topic, I also didn’t want to let another two weeks go by before saying anything. Short form: Sorry for the disappearing act, but I will return. I promise.
