Just drove it to the local caseys for 18.2 gallons of 87 nocorn. $80. after i got done wiping up my vomit, i went inside and bought a bottle of that thick lucas oil stabilizer stuff. that outta keep the bob dylan concert in the crankcase down to a minimum noise level. I worked easter so i basically got a double check coming, that piss poor excuse for an FE is gonna be out soon enough. Fires right up tho. pump pump, cranks for maybe half a revolution and idles. Even after a week of sitting.
 
Didn't know we stepped into the prepper talk.. I'm just politely setting up my stash of rifles...

I stash fishing rods, lost my guns in a horrible boating accident.

Natasha is doubling her planned garden for this year. Got to figure out how to raise chickens... and my BIL and I are scheming on raising a cow.
If you're goal is meat rather than milk, look into hair sheep. My neighbor has raised just about everything over the 60 years he's lived here and says they're hands down the easiest thing there is. No shearing, parasite resistant, weather hearty, gentle on the fences and pasture, and really easy to handle. They lamb with no outside help and usually drop twins or triplets, so you can grow a flock fast and sell the cast-offs for easy profit. As far as livestock go, they're basically set and forget. Hardest thing would be keeping the girls from making them pets.

I'm currently setting up 3 paddocks so I can rotate a small flock. It's been an ongoing project but I'm hoping to be wrapped up by the end of next winter and buying 3 bred ewes in the spring.

Mutton has been a staple for thousands of years, probably for a good reason. I never thought of it but thats a great idea.

Chickens. Eggs daily, minimal work involved. Cold weather hardy.

With any kind of livestock. Hay will be needed in the winter. That means equipment to move hay and a place to store it. Something to keep in mind.
