    Default On a more somber note...

    Given that our government is clearly expecting trouble on Wednesday, nationwide, I'm curious what, if any, additional precautions people on the board are taking to keep safer. Please do not compromise OPSEC, I'm thinking in more general terms.

    My wife and I are adjusting our schedules to ensure that we are together at one of our secure locations, and prepared to stay there for several days if necessary.

    Groceries and gas, mainly... we’ve always been prudent preppers though so feel pretty well equipped for modest disruption to the supply chain, if something retarded happens. We will be home, although I’ll be working.

    I think it’s going to fall flatter than Y2K. This smells of redirection, making people worry about a civil war while TPTB implement their theory of governance. I’ll be returning home and holing up but mainly because I have a LOT to catch up on, not out of any fear.

    I've changed gears away from prepping the past few years, but I did fill all my gas and propane tanks.

    I hope that you're right. Some of my connections in the LEO community are less confident.

    Default Colorado beachfront property on D-Day

    I'm stacking firewood. I don't want to be left out in the cold. I read the "domestic terrorist's" might be using portable radios for communications. I might listen on the scanner for such type talk.

    Meh. Won?t be any better or worse than any of the other riots and whatnot throughout 2020.

    The Y2K analogy above was a good one. Everyone will be nervous and on edge and the sun will rise the next day and life will continue.

    Besides, if there was going to be some sort of major event then they forgot to send me my invite.

    SHIT. I better inform the neighborhood watch folks. We radio check 1-2x a week. Guess we got upgraded. to domestic terrorist.



    Well as long as they validate parking, who cares.
