    Default Let's play another game...

    It's called what did you do today.


    I'll start.

    Had to work this morning, got home around 1:00pm

    Sent wife out to mow lawn, I had shit to do.

    My son wants to be R2D2 for Halloween... Nobody makes a R2D2 costume for a 7 year old. Cutting up a trash can to make one, looks like you cut up a trash can and slapped some paint on it.

    Step 1: Buy 12" concrete tube

    Step 2: Start cutting with sawzall

    Step 3: Realize that was a bad idea and continue with jig saw... Because my brother moved to Seattle with my table saw FML... But I digest.

    Step 4: Think to myself... Myself, I should take pictures of this and get the camera.



    Step 5: Primer and paint tube... Still need to cut it down some more, but that will come later.



    Step 6: Start forming the head piece. Basic structure to attach chicken wire and then paper-mache to. This is going to be attached to an old bicycle helmet.



    Step 7: Drink a beer, because dammit I earned it. Take another picture.



    Step 8: Do quick sketch of R2's body...



    Step 9: Spray adhesive is your friend. Still need to cut the bottom down some more... I'll do that later



    Step 10: Drink another beer, call it a night, forget about how much is still left to do and post thread on IA.



    Who else wants to play?

    I think your son still loves R2D2 and needs to let go.

    No working on it today. Will probably make a run to HD for some supplies, but have to much running around to do to get anything meaningful done.

    It will be funny like after you did all that work to make your son that R2-D2 costume, in the end, he will tell you that he changed his mind and want to be something else for halloween.

    I worked. I saw the Delta Wing. It made me feel uncomfortable. Last time I saw it it was sort of dark, in the light, it's so much bigger.

    Loving the costume.

    Got up. Took care of the baby. Couponed. Took care of the baby some more. Someone paid me $10 to work their shift. *Yawn* 5:30 AM wide awake. Baby sleeps though

    Maybe I should coupon some more, but no one is awake over on the forums. Sucks living on the east coast sometimes.

    My wife does the couponing thing as well. That damn "Extreme Couponers" show killed it for everyone. We used to save 50%+ on groceries (on a bad week), now she's lucky if she hits 40%.




    And that's nothing but good 'ole fashioned communism.

    I'm not really that good at groceries. All the closets and cabinets are full of toiletries and diapers though. lol Trying to talk the boyfriend into letting me have a stockpile room. I end up selling a bunch of my shampoo/conditioner because I already have enough for over 2 years.

    Does your wife have a stockpile?

    There's a "Yard Sale" thing on FB for our tri-city area. I actually just sold $20 worth just a few minutes ago for something I paid nothing for.

    We keep a rotating stock in our pantry room. At most we have about 3 months supply of food/toiletries at any given time for emergencies. I'm not trying to have 38 years worth of paper towels (toilet paper would be ok though, can never have too much of that) LOL. Mostly it's a "worst case scenario" stash and don't have room for much more... Until children start moving out.

    You buy it from the store right? Same thing. She sells it for $2 (when she got it for free) and the person buying gets it half price.



    Now I wouldn't buy someone else's used shampoo... But that's not what she's talking about.

    I think I have like 10 or so 12 packs of toilet paper! lol Food wise, I have a few weeks worth. I only have room in the bathroom closet. We have a 3 bedroom house but the spare bedroom is used to grow coral :/

    My ultimate goal is to have one year minimum for my family of 5. But I'm starting to build that by using shelf-stable stuff like this that lasts like 25 years...
    Buckets of Food Pouches - TruPrep Emergency Preparedness

    Now, I'm not preparing for doomsday, my thinking behind it is (God forbid) if some disaster happens, we could be completely self-sufficient for weeks or months if necessary. If I have enough food to feed my family for a year, I would have food to spare to help my neighbors during that same crisis period. I've got a metric-shit ton of bottled water, because I can store that in the garage.




    Edit: Grow coral? Is there money in that?
