After Quite the November, Back Among the Living....Pretty Much....

-


Just got done navigating Covid 19 over the Thanksgiving holiday (caught it the Monday before, near as I can figure, tested positive the day after Thanksgiving, and was on a pretty intense protocol from my Naturopath since then, which included four rounds of Ozone injections, Vitamin C IV's, Steroids, and medical grade hydrogen peroxide. Not fun, but it sure beat the crap out of the Covid!  Fast!  Just over a week!

Result?  This morning I'm at about 98% clean bill of health with only 1 symptom still remaining (and very minor) - a bit of shortness of breath.  Doc says that's my lungs healing up from the Covid damage.  He also said I won a great prize:  Immunity for life!  I'll take it, as I won't EVER allow my body to be jabbed with that poison.  

Beyond that, I was T-Boned the morning before Thanksgiving by an ICE employee who figured my blinking yellow light at the intersection meant 'stop' and her blinking red light meant 'proceed with caution.   She was doing about 30, and the police said I was not getting cited (why would I?) and then they took off to deal with the USG employee.  Told me to have a nice day after I was given the incident number and that the report would be available sometime in the next week.

Kinda funny in that she hit me so hard my door, and driver's side passenger door could not be opened, so I had to crawl out the passenger's side.  We exchanged 'are you alright?' greetings, and then she said, "DIDN'T YOU SEE YOUR BLINKING LIGHT?"   I answered, standing under the lights, "Yes, I did...mine is YELLOW; yours is RED, which means you are supposed to stop."

Instant deer in the headlights look with an 'oh, shit!' to underscore her assumptions were wrong.

So, car's finall in the shop.  I was protected well by both God and my car, which is built like a tank.  I found it interesting that not a single window was cracked or broken.  Both the rear and driver's window operate to the point the steel was pushed in.

Anyway, I had something to be thankful for, in a big way, this Thanksgiving.  

Hopefully I will be back to regular posting soon; I know our time is short based on the soviet style edicts and suggestions coming out of our former national capitol.

I trust and pray you had a great Thanksgiving and are healthy.

    Welcome back to the Land of the Living. Glad to hear you are okay - we wondered where you had got yourself to. You were lucky indeed to walk away from a vehicle crash like that.

    I hope Covid stays a long way from you and your family.

          DTG’s 2021 Updated 10 Week (If You’re Lucky) Plan                      to Prepare for the Worst-Case Scenario     It’s been about 13 or 14 years since I wrote this under my since retired ‘nom de guerre’, and commenting on a blog post recently, CA at Western Rifle Shooter’s Association asked me if I’d mind updating it.   This is a good base plan for folks you might know just waking up to the fact that things are spinning faster in the vortex than ever before, and this might be the best chance for them to get themselves in gear.   Feel free to add or take away as your situation and local area conditions may require.   Understand something, though:   You have a VERY small window; it may even be too late should something happen that accerlerates the current environment like a JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) rocket on a C130.   So, if you’re just getting st...

Beware of the Seductress...

Just as Samson was seduced by Delilah, so can you be seduced by the internal desire you have to one degree or another to have all the latest, greatest, coolest, most technically advanced, and 'tacticool' weapons, gear, and associated support equipment available,  which, by necessity, will set you back many, many thousands of dollars,  usually.  When sporty times come, the first thing you'll need to be able to do is actually use what you have.   The you have to be able to carry it all.  I mention this Nevada a great many,  "gear-a-holics" are not in the best shape.   Remember a good rule of thumb:  All your gear,  including weapons, ammo, equipment (all types), food and water shouldn't weigh more than about 65 or 70 pounds.  Then, if you're planning on being mobile, you should be ruckingin all sorts of weather over varying distances at a pace of no less than 3 miles an hour over relatively flat and clear routes.  But, if yo...

PSA - Instant Incapacitation of an Attacker...

  First, I forget where I got this graphic; it's been a long while.  It's good though, for this post's purposes.  For the uninitiated, or new prepper, protector, defender, NPT member, etc (whatever your group calls the new guys), 'CNS' stands for 'Central Nervous System'. There are three ways to achieve instant incapacitation with a firearm against an attacker:  Shoot them in one of the 3 places as outlined above. Other descriptions of the targets (and very effective if a bad actor is shot there) are: FRONT:  The Occular Cavity SIDE:  The Temple (just a smidge toward the top of the ear) REAR:  Medula Oblongata (where the brain stem resides at the top of the spine where the brain joins the spinal column. A shot in any of these three locatations brings about catastropic INSTANT failure of all systems in the body.  Put another way:  "Instant Rag Doll."  There's no last chance to pull a trigger, say 'good bye,' "I'm sorry," or...
