We're alive. Looks like a bomb went off. Trees down everywhere.
More later. Helping neighbors at the moment.

We've been getting more texts and messages from framily so I figured we would update. At this time we do not plan to evacuate.
Yes we live by the river. The river is controlled by a bypass canal and they have pumped us WAY down. We are 45 feet above sea level and evac zone E. 2 streets above us is not even in an evac zone.
We have 3 days of generator fuel and fuel for the grill. We have 50 gallons of water and the ability to make more. Fresh TP and paper plates. Breakfast is at sunrise. You can join us for steak, Cuban coffee and potatoes. Bring your charging cord and top up your phone. We will have wifi, but if you leave a child on my doorstep to tap into the internet, they should bring collateral. Red grape and corn based products are acceptable. Grill is open if you need it.

Chickens have solar charged fans, video camera, food and water. Chicken coop has been tied down and ready to rock and roll. Quails are inside and the first batch of KZ hatchlings went to the farm for brooding. Huge surplus waiting to get moved to the big incubator tomorrow.

Most of our neighbors are also staying thankfully. We have have some great folks with some good skill-sets. A great little tribe.

Our house is all cinderblock, newer metal roof and terrazzo floors. This place is a bunker optimized to be comfy without AC. Only things that we are keeping an eye on are these pesky trees dropping limbs and projectiles. We have plans if something pops a hole in a window. Alex and Alondra live a mile away and are not evacuating.

Thoughts, love, light, prayers and whatever you want to send this way are appreciated.
Hugs from everyone!

All is good in our households. A and A never lost power. The rest of us lost power @ 430pm. Came back @ about 8am. New generator setup worked perfectly. A few plants took a hit, all the critters are fine, front yard needs a good cleanup, but no damage. Need a shower, cold drink and real coffee.

I did this for my chickens as well and they were THRILLED!!

Quail! Not just for humans!

09/08/2024

Looks like I need to start getting my stuff together!! I already started with my fermented garlic in honey and I have a batch of fire cider going too!

Pickled quail eggs will be sparse as I just filled 1 order of 50+ eggs for Grandpa G's new flock and KZ Farm needs a restart too. Quails are not long term farm critters. You only get less than 5 years typically before you send them to camp and start over with fresh layers.

Still a few odds and ends I am adding as I get to meet the kids and read their IEP's. About 1/4 of my caseload are children with ASD and most are ADHD. I have about 17 kids so far spread over 2 grade levels, but nothing is set yet since the district has not determined the unit count.

Some of the items are things I plan to buy for myself as the paychecks arrive, and have lower priority than others.

Getting starts going for my hydroponic setup on my grow shelf.
