What did you do to prepare this week?

This is the latest installment of my hopefully weekly series on emergency preparedness.  It was a busy week for me at work, Heather was sick, and we had a bunch of errands to run including more Kodiak packing but still managed to get some stuff done this week.

PEOPLE - FITNESS

I earned 696 points on Fitocracy over the course of three workouts this week.  Heather logged 0 points due to lingering plague as well as craziness at work.  I would have liked to do more.  So would Heather.

ACTIVITIES & TRAINING

We put in some good work in the gardens and our efforts are literally bearing fruit.  I have a baby watermelon and have been nibbling fresh strawberries.  Heather has a bunch of tomatoes starting to grow and some other yummy looking veggies in the formative stages.

We also picked up the puppy!

STUFF

• Ammo.  I picked up two .50 cal ammo cans in great shape at the local gun show.  Never hurts to have more ammo cans, right?
• Anti-Storm Plan.  With the onset of the summer we're more concerned about severe weather and flooding. So I picked up a few tarps on a routine trip to the hardware store.  These will augment the sandbags I already have.  You can use a layer of sandbags lined with tarps to protect doors, garage doors, and low-lying windows in the event of something like a hurricane or tropical storm.  They're also very useful if a storm blows out a window.
