Good Neighbors are Priceless
« on: February 05, 2014, 01:43:52 PM »
As we all contemplate and prepare for the collapse of the world or as simple as a small set-back like a job loss - Nothing beats GREAT neighbors!

Case in point:
I let SDoon1 know that we were coming up to the cabin yesterday and when we got here it was a toasty 71F in the cabin. I took a gander at the memory of our Davis Instrument Weather Station and  the temp in the cabin started out that day at 24F. Thank you neighbor!

Just went out to shovel the deck and had noticed that our neighbor had already been hard at work and had plowed our parking area on the north side of the cabin. I never asked him to do it he just did it! Thank you neighbor!

We often only talk about the "cool" prepping things like:
> Food
> Ammo & Firearms
> Medicines
> BOB's
> Etcetera

But fail to talk about cultivating friendships with our neighbors. What have you done today to reach out to that neighbor? When things take a dump we can't do it alone.

Just some food for thought!

Today, probably the best thing I did was not call him to borrow anything for a welding project  :o
He's a Marine, a retired pipe fitter and my go to guy for everything welding. I'm his wood project and gardening/farming go to. We mesh well. Have swapped countless meals when our significant others are under the weather. Good neighbors are handy as a shirt pocket.

I like that brat - "Good neighbors are handy as a shirt pocket."

Amen to that!  :pirateThumbUp:

TG don't beat yourself up too much. You live quite the busy life right now. With that said, circle a date on the calendar and just go do it.  ;)
