My wife and I have actually been toying with getting a loan, and buying 
up the rest of what we need for our storage.   if nothing happens, 
great, we pay it off.   If it does, well, I'll have plenty of food.  
and stuff.

I won't comment on the other stuff, but I certainly wouldn't call you a
"wannabe".  You've accomplished a lot there over the years.  I remeber 
when you
were debating sending son to regular high school, now he's on a real 
big boat,
not in jail.  If you just have a big garden and shoot a freezer full of 
deer,
you have veggies and meat.

Maybe , like me, you feel like you could have done more, already.  But, 
don't
diregard what you actually have done ...bobford
