Hmmm, let’s see...
Tuesday - when I had to replace the pressure switch on the water pump - bought two - one spare.
Or how about when I bought canning lids for 2010 canning season. Had bought this years - last year.
Oh, last week I needed a valve stem for a tire - bought 12 so I would have some spares. They are cheap but essential.
Let’s see, you say we are back from the brink? As I see it, the last great depression entrance was sprinkled with about 3 ‘improvement’ periods. Then I see what the Gov’t. is doing (same as Roosevelt did) and keeps us going down down down... Those in power don’t even think things are going to pick up anytime soon... Expecting 10%+ unemployment (which is actually closer to 20 when you count in those no longer seeking employment and those only working odd jobs part time). When they say it could be 10 years before we see the lost jobs coming back.
Then you consider the freedom costing, job killing, power grabbing legislation coming out of DC. We are off that cliff and holding on to a branch of a weak bush on the side of that cliff it is bowing lower and lower as we hang on.
I’ll just keep on stocking up and putting away, and any purchases are to improve my survival abilities and that of my family and friends.
Wait, I didn't say it,...
Fearless Leader said it last night !
( i gotta remember to add the “/sarc” )
I think we are about late ‘32-'33 in this one, and a long,long,long way to go.
in other words : double up..
as for the spare switch, canning lids for ‘10 (working on it) and yes.. clamps,connectors,spare oil, etc.. all great ideas..
even if it is available, it will most likely be more $$
