Some time a while back I wrote that I have a monthly pest control service come to the house. It costs $35 a month and overall I've been satisfied with their service. If I needed them to come out a second time in a month then they'd do so. Lately I don't know what they've used on their regular monthly service but it sure hasn't lasted long. I've gotten overrun.
Now around here we have seasons, much like the weather only with bugs. We have cricket season, frog season, millipede season, mouse season, gnat season, etc. with all these creatures coming into the house. Lately the gnats have been so bad that you can't open your mouth on the front porch or you'd be eating them. It's gotten to the point that at night they'd somehow make it into the house and cover the entire ceiling in the kitchen. I would have just put up with it until my regularly scheduled appointment if it hadn't been for the fleas that I saw on my bedspread. That's it. Clark, I need you!
My loyal pest control guy came out yesterday to spray the house and yard. This time I paid attention to what he sprayed. He used two products: Demand CS and Tengard. I got on line to www.epestsupply.com . They sell these two products, and many others. They offer free shipping. The Demand was used inside. It costs about $1-4 per use depending on how concentrated you need it. It is used on the following pests: Ants, Bedbugs (adult), Bees (don't worry bees, you stay out of my house and we are both happy!), Beetles, Boxelder Bugs, Carpenter Bees, Carpet Beetles, Centipedes, Cigarette Beetles, Clover Mites, Cockroaches, Confused Flour, Beetles, Crickets, Earwigs, Firebrats, Fleas, Flies, Lesser Grain, Borers, Millipedes, Mosquitoes, Red Flour Beetles, Rice Weevils, Saw-toothed, Grain Beetles, Silverfish, Sowbugs, Spiders, Termites (above ground only), Ticks, Wasps.
Tengard costs about $3-5 per gallon diluted. Tengard One Shot contains permethrin - the same active ingredient used in the popular Dragnet FT and Permethrin Plus C insecticides for termites. It can be used as perimeter insect control on lawns, ornamental trees, shrubs, and on buildings and under you slab. It kills: Ants, ant mounds, armyworms, bedbugs, bark beetles, bees, beetles, borers, boxelders bugs, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, centipedes, chinchbugs, cockroaches, crickets, earwigs, elm leaf beetles, fire ants, fleas, flies, firebrats, ground beetles, gypsy moths, millipedes, mole crickets, pillbugs, scorpions, silverfish, sod webworms, sowbugs, spiders, termites, ticks, wasps, etc.. Again, I don't want it killing bees so I won't be spraying it near them. I won't use it near the garden or anything that the bees use.
If I had purchased these myself I would have used about $20 worth of insecticide. This means it cost $15 to have someone else apply it. To me, that's a bargain for an hour or two of their time. But they don't always use that much stuff or spend that much time at the house. This time they went overboard because of the fleas. They also go to oldest daughter's house (aka my house that they are renting). I pay for that service, so it's not really $35 a month it's $70. I think for that price I can tell myself I'm needed rather than Clark. Even when they came over with the mouse sticky traps I ended up having to buy more at Tractor Supply when they were on sale 2 for $1.00. After all, we trapped almost 50 mice IN THE HOUSE! What can I say, I keep a clean house and the pests love us anyway.
What if it is today? What if I can't just call up Clark and have them come spray? I need to be able to do this myself with my own products. We really can't be like the local native Americans. In this area, they'd burn the place off and move 1/2 mile down the creek or river and start over to get away from the bugs. They'd come back in a year or two, once their new place was overrun by bugs. I can't do that. We need to be able to control the pests, especially when TSHTF. Having to deal with bug bites or critters getting into your food or garden just isn't going to cut it.

Grapes
Grapes are almost as valuable on a homestead as apples. Both can be eaten fresh. With apples you can make applesauce or jam, juice or cider, hard cider (alcohol), dried apples (fruit roll ups or sliced), and even apple doll heads. With grapes you can make grape jelly, jam, raisins, juice and wine. Our property was lacking in both when I moved here 15 years ago. There were two apple trees, two pear trees, one yellow plum, and lots of figs. I planted more apple trees although I think we could still use more. After all, if we don't eat them or preserve them they make great animal food.
This is the fourth year the grapes have been in the ground for four of the plants and the second year for the rest. We now have over a dozen grapevines. The property behind me had over 100 acres of grapes and when I moved in that landowner said we could hop our fence and pick as many as we wanted. He gave permission for me to pick enough for fresh eating, raisins, and grape juice. It was a great deal! Then that owner sold the property. The next owner did nothing with it, including not watering. In our area you have to water or things eventually die. And they did. I was fortunate to see the whithering writing on the wall and decided to plant some of my own.
The older grandsons dug four holes and planted two Thompson and two Red Globe vines. The first year I pulled off all the little grapes that started to grow. I wanted the plants to put their efforts into the roots, not the fruit. The second year, two summers ago, we got two or three bunches. In the middle of the summer I took a bunch of cuttings from the grapevines and pulled off the leaves, dunked in bottom in water, then in a rooting powder. I shoved the stem into a big pot of filled with soaking wet potting soil. I dumped a bucket of water into this pot everyday to keep it really moist.
Then last summer I planted the newly rooted vines into the ground along the walkway in the front. Most lived and grew about 1 foot or two in height. This summer, their second summer in the ground, I trimmed them back to have one main trunk going up the post. They are now about 3 feet tall and very healthy. I expect that next summer each will start producing a bunch or two. I will, of course, take off those bunches so the plant can get fully established. By their fourth summer in the ground, in two more years, they will be fulling bearing grapes.
The original four plants grew quite a few bunches of grapes last year. Even though it was their third year in the ground the plants were probably 5 years old (if I compare the size of the plants when I planted them to the ones I grew from my own starters) so I kept all the grapes on. Unfortunately Boy was being helpful and he picked them all at the same time and brought them into the house. Many of them weren't even ripe.
This year we have about 50 bunches of grapes from our four vines! I have given the grand kids strict orders to not pick any until I tell them they are ripe, and then only to pick what they are going to eat. Do not help me out by picking them all! If I ask you to pick me some grapes I mean ONE bunch. Even with this many grape bunches I do not think there will be any left for making raisins. The fruit tree crop is so bad that other than apples, oranges, and mulberries, it's slim pickings off the trees. The mission figs on the neighbor's tree have already gone to the birds. I did get several trays of dried figs made first. The Kadota figs (the green ones) are going to be ripe in a few more weeks. Still, the grapes are going to be the favorite fruit once they ripen.

Steal of a Deal at the Grocery Store
Yesterday I had to go to town so I stopped at Von's to pick up a couple gallons of milk and some hot dog buns. I was expecting to spend about $10. Instead I spent almost $50. When I go to the grocery store I always look at the 1/2 price bin. Sometimes they have good deals. Such deals, I couldn't pass them up. Except one.
One of the "deals" was a package of canning lids. It was marked 75% off. Excellent, until I looked at the "regular" price of $9.99!!!! Yes, a penny less than $10 for one package of lids. Not lids and rings, just lids. With 75% off the price was $2.50. Gee, I can normally get them regular price for $1.69. No bargain there. But I did get a bargain on some other items.
Knorr sells soup and bouillon mixes. They also sell seasonings. In this case they had both alphabet noodle vegetable soup mix and chicken noodle soup mix (just add 4 cups water for 4-90 calorie servings) on sale. Normally the price of those packages are about $1.50. Yesterday they were marked .59 and were 1/2 price of that! I bought about 30 packages of soup mix for .30 each! What else did they have? Noodles! Besides elbow, spaghetti, and the sort, I buy 7 ounce packages of the Mexican type of noodles. These are usually alphabet, teardrop sized pieces, or angel hair. Normally it's 3 packages for $1.00 or .33 each. It comes out to about .75 a pound for the noodles. Not yesterday. They were priced at .29 each and on sale for half so .15 each. That comes to .35 per pound for noodles! We bought about over 20 pounds.
What else did they have? Salsa. I know, why would I buy salsa if I make it? Remember Army daughter is related! She won't eat homegrown when she visits. This was organic salsa normally $2.50 a jar, which I thought was a good price for organic. Somehow the price ended up at .75 each. I bought all four jars!
The final item was some cans of sardines. Normally over $2.00 on sale for .99. Not as good of a bargain as the rest of my purchases but good nevertheless. Sometimes I just never know when I'm going to be adding to the food storage.

The Declaration of Independence!
Happy 4th of July! You do know this is the celebration of the Declaration of Independence, right? It's not about the constitution. That came later. It's not about our first president, George Washington. We didn't have a president for about a decade. Were you aware of that? I'm sure you all are, I doubt much of the country knows any meaning other than fireworks, hot dogs and hamburgers, and apple pie and ice cream.
The grand kids are old enough now to understand some of what happened. As dinner tonight I read the entire Declaration. I tried to make it as exciting as possible even though most of the words they didn't understand. When was the last time you thought about this sentence, "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security"?
What was the gist of the letter we wrote? We said we wanted to split off from England and be our own country. We said we believe God would allow this. We believe that all men are created equal. We have rights that are giving to us by God. Some of them are the right to life, liberty, and to be able to pursue happiness. (The pursuit of happiness doesn't guarantee that you will be happy. The choices you make throughout your life do have an affect on your happiness.) Since the King of England wasn't being fair to the American colonists, they wanted to split away and form their own country.
They included a list of reasons they wanted to make this split. The king didn't want them to pass laws that were good for everyone. When they did pass laws the king wouldn't sign them. (I explained now that if the president doesn't sign a law it can still be a law.) The king thought the colonists shouldn't make the laws, the king thought he and his friends should do so. The king also sent soldiers and government people here and then made the colonists pay for them and forced them to allow the soldiers to stay at their homes uninvited. The soldiers didn't even have to follow any of the rules! When the colonists broke the rules they had to go back to England for a trial.
The king said we could only buy things from England, even if we wanted to buy them from other places. That way England could charge extra taxes. They charged us taxes for everything! Then because we didn't like it the king made deals with the Indians to fight against the colonists.
The colonists knew that God would agree with them. God wants us to be free to serve God, not the king of England, not the president of the US.
This was the quick kid version. England wasn't fair. We set about to change it. The thoughts the colonists had about the English governing them bring about the same thoughts we have about our government today. To reduce them under absolute Despotism - under rule of King Obama. The president we now have isn't fair. I hope we are smart enough to change it.
We had our hot dogs, chips, pickles, corn on the cob, koolaid, and ice cream. It's starting to get dark. I'd better head out to the backyard to start the fireworks.

The "new" old sewing machine
Last night I stayed up until 11:00 making Girl a new outfit for 4th of July. I took her blue America t-shirt that I bought last year and added long sleeves that are striped in red-white-blue. Then I made a skirt to match the new sleeves. She's going to look adorable! Boy wanted some sleeves too so I added them to his stained USA shirt as well.
This brought me back to thinking about clothing for the future if there aren't stores to go buy clothes in. Not a problem...girl doesn't need to be dressed in the height of fashion. She isn't normally, just every once in a while I get a whim to make something fun. I don't want to have to think about sheering sheep to collect the wool, then processing it, then weaving it, just to make clothes. It's an interesting skill to learn but not one that I am interested in doing on a permanent basis. Since it isn't then I need to make sure I'm prepared for not only me but growing kids. I have some 20 year old things hanging in my closet and in the drawers. The grand kids can't do that. They don't even fit into things from a year or two ago. It all has to be replaced.
I have several shelves filled with fabric. I have denim fabric, fleece, knits, and extra fabrics. These will make pants, skirts, sweats, pj's, shorts, swimwear, and underwear. I have patterns of all sizes for men, women, and children to make all necessary clothing. Just about everything that they will need in the future. I have the sewing notions including thread, needles for the machine and hand sewing, scissors, dollar reading glasses so I can thread the needle, oil for the sewing machine, extra bobbins, elastic, and much more.
When I was in high school I decided to make some of my own clothes. I didn't want to use the sewing machine. Several outfits were made entirely by hand sewing. After I got the hang of it, it really didn't take a long time to sew the clothes together. It looked great and it gave me a good feeling that I was able to make them without the machine.
What about the sewing machine? I was given a new machine as a gift about five years ago. I love it. When I was asked what kind I wanted I said something that has several stitches but not filled with electronics. I wanted the stitches all to work on a cam system. So that's what I was given.
Today I dropped 16 year old grandson off at the train station. He's going to some relatives on his dad's side for a month. Since I was downtown, and not in my work truck, I decided to stop by some thrift stores. I wanted to see if there were any canning jars. I didn't find any. I did find some brand new jeans, never worn with the tags still on them, for the Boy. He will fit into that size either this school year or the next. For $2.00 a pair you can't go wrong. My best buy was a "new" White sewing machine. It's probably 75 or 80 years old, I have to do some research. It works - I was able to sew a seam prior to buying it. The best part? It was tagged at $29.95...but it was 1/2 price! So for $15.00 I bought a sewing machine in it's hideaway desk. Not a bad deal. Still, I wish I found canning jars.

Still Plugged Up? Still No Benefiber? Don't Blame Me.
By far, the most hits on this blog are on my Benefiber post from two months ago. Today I got this comment, which I found to be the funniest comment I’ve ever gotten on my blog (on All Plugged Up and Benefiber is Nowhere to be Found) so I had to post it. Well thank you for stocking up 3 years worth. Two people in my family have diverticulitis which is life threatening - intestines can rupture and you can die - or you can suffer with the infected pockets and wish you would die - it is horrible. We can't find Benefiber which is the only thing that we found to prevent these attacks But we will sleep better tonight knowing that you have your 3 years supply. Well, actually, I feel really sorry for the Anonymous person who posted. You see, Anonymous is confusing me - a prepper and survivalist, with a hoarder. That is certainly not me.
I suppose it is MY FAULT that during times of plenty I spurred the economy of this country by purchasing items that were plentiful, using cash. I suppose I could have waited until just before the items were pulled from the shelf. Or, better yet, as soon as they get restocked I stand in line and buy them all up! No, it’s better that I bought them when the shelves were full. Nobody suffered because I bought three large containers. This Anonymous person probably bought a little tiny container…and probably used their EBT cash card to boot (obnoxious comment, sorry to all those who truly need EBT cards…this comment wasn’t meant for you). If my life depended on something as simple as a shelf stable product like Benefiber, I’d bet my life on it that I’d stock up for 5 or 10 years, not just three.
Let this be a lesson to you Mr. or Ms. Anonymous. Make a list of items you or your family needs. Buy them or make them…NOW. As for my having Benefiber and you don't, if you reread that column and the other comments (suggestions) posted, you will know that I posted some substitutes which are easy to deal with. High fiber food, exercise, water. The reason people would rather use Benefiber than high fiber food is it's easy and pretty much calorie free. After all, if I'm watching calories I'd rather have a cup of coffee with Benefiber and a cookie on the side than a cup of coffee and a bran muffin. Same amount of calories and fiber...the cookie just tastes better.

Staying Put and a Problem with the Pole Barn
I didn't get the job that I applied for in Utah. They had over 200 applications for this job. I was in the top 10. Close but no cigar. The job I have now will continue to be my job, but I am still looking for another job. It's not that I don't like where I work, I do, but the state pays so little (don't be fooled by those stories about overpaid and underworked state employees - in MOST cases it's not true) and we just got hit with another pay cut. There's one job that's pretty local that I really want. It won't be available for another 6 months or so but it pays about 40% more than I make now. This company wants me for the position. So perhaps not getting the Utah job was to make sure I was around for this local job. We'll see. I was looking forward to driving to Utah for the interview and then stopping by some of the preparedness stores on the way home. It just wasn't meant to be.
We are getting another pay cut starting today. My paycheck is going to be about $300 a month less. I'll still be able to pay my bills but the prepping with money is going to come to a screeching halt. That's ok because I have a great big list of projects to do that don't require money since I have most of the materials. Except one. I was out in the big barn today...it's a 24X48 pole barn. One of the poles has been eaten away right about ground level. On a pole barn, every pole is necessary. This is not good. I'm going to have to figure out how to fix this. I may have to dig a hole next to this pole and just put a new pole next to it. It's definitely something that I can't do on my own. Any pole barn experts out there who can give me some hints?
