Re: What items are you missing or short of ?

Flour is also running low here had a 5 gallon bucket, but not as much as yeast.
Had to make a store run for yeast to use in the bread making :)

I guess there is the old natural yeast way, but not up on that... thinking it may be flat bread time :)

Re: Reloading 9mm

Do you know if the 4 hole turret plates fits the old 3 hole turret press? And/or can you use the new accessories on an original press?

Re: Cash on hand...

Agree... lucky for my pension, but the 457 plan I was in for over 25 yrs was a great blessing down the road.
A little here/there isn't really missed but it does add up long term.

Re: Cash on hand...

Have over 300 in singles and some extras in 5s and 10s.... every now and then when there's extra I put it away.

Remember that a short time ago ( sandy ), when there was no power so there was no CC, cash was still good at local stores
