Hi preeps,
Well it's been a coupla weeks since my surgery.. and it went amazingly well!
I had no issues with the anaesthetic, the op was a complete success they removed the cancer, re-attached the bowel and I am healing very well.
Came home after 10 days in, have all my staples out and eating a good healthy diet. Still a bit tender obviously but doing well.
Tests say i'm cancer free. just gotta keep positive.

Really happy it turned out well razerp!
Glad to hear it razerp.
Well, I've finally decided to purchase a solar panel set to use with my Duracell Powerpack. Bought a folding 100W with charge controller. When finances allow, I might add a deep cycle battery or 2 to the system for a bit of expansion. Hopefully, next house will be ours for a while, so I can look at permanently installing some solar and a battery bank.
I picked up 13 types of seeds at our local Seedy Saturday yesterday. Also stocked up on .22 ammo which seems to be getting scarcer and scarcer. I have a hard case for my rifle but I picked up a cheap soft case as the hard one is better for transporting to the range & back, but pretty heavy/unwieldy for bugging out (if it came to that).

We added another family to our group! The Goats are due in May, the chickens are laying daily again....life is good!
We've taken a slew of workshops at a local mennonite church on some older techniques including:
canning/pickling, baking with yeast, patchwork/sewing, making egg cheese, etc. Such simple concepts and so valuable to have!

Picked up a whole bunch (I haven't counted them yet) of plastic buckets and a few lids for free off of Kijiji.
I LOVE Kijiji!

The easiest cheese ever made, and delicious with maple syrup! I just heard about it this year, but apparantly a mennonite staple.
