Motivational Posters..
Now, you regular visitor types have noticed my slacking off with these posters, and the only defence I can offer is that the last batch was so-so, and I don’t want to feel like I’m obligated to crank these out as they lack the quality of the early ones. So we’ll leave the posters on hold until I get a chance to sit down and crank some proper ones out.
My zombie movie watching has decreased significantly as I’ve been acquiring materials for my home wiring/cctv/intercom upgrade and haven’t been picking up movies as regularly as I used to.
On the plus side, on Piets advice I’ll be writing a bit about the zombocalypse precautions here at Casa Flexibility. Nothing major, our wee generator, the cameras, the wiring project as it progresses and so forth. I feel certain that my three readers will be positively glued to their monitors with anticipation.

Hang in there. I am.
Since we barely have any apocalyptic preparations, I’ll live vicariously through yours! We have the food, the water and minimal weapons but other supplies are pretty thin!
Looking forward to posts
I really like the motivational posters. I’m looking forward to their return.
Hehe, Red you slay me. Food, water and minimal weapons are better preparations than most people I know, frankly I don’t think we’re a whole lot better prepared than you are.
-GRIN-
Never the less, as we’re on a budget it may help others with some basic stuff. Lord knows I’ve learned enough from other blogs that I’m always happy to return the favour where I can.
so… does this make me your third reader
keep up the good work.
You make motivational posters?
We have enough food to live for at least a week, more if we have things like kidney beans for dinner. Water is ok, we have a well and could make a manual pump pretty easily. Another h2o plus is we’re about 300ft away from a river and have 2 purifiers for backpacking.
We’re low on things like batteries, ammo, medicine, guns and ammo. Plus, we only have one go-bag built and it’s pretty slim. Our first aid kits are pretty poor too. Pretty sad since I used to be an EMT.
I have no illusions about the zombocalypse….brains!!!Brains!!BRAINS!!!
“We’re low on things like batteries, ammo, medicine, guns and ammo.”
I know ammo’s important, but if you list it twice, shouldn’t you list guns twice?
Personally I’m going with Mike’s plan. I have enough guns and ammo to convince my “Well supplied neighbors” to share.

Greg’s emergency kit: A gun and a sack.
I’m with Greg on that one! I finally figured it would be easier to go that route should the city go belly up. I figure the only other thing you need is a group of people you can trust so you can combine your resources when going after something. Gee, sounds a lot like looting doesn’t it?!
Screw this. I just found out I’m going to law school this fall. I will soon have the most potent arsenal of mass terror known to man: A law degree, low grade insanity and high grade intelligence. Or those last two might be the other way around, but it’s still deadly!
Greg … that’s the scariest thing I’ve read in this blog for quite some time
Let the lawyer jokes commence……….
…3 more years I have to be good… 3 more years… Dammit Greg, you better be moving back here after you become a lawyer!!
I don’t know if my plan works as well for you Piet; I’m one of three armed tenants in my building. In Texas I don’t think it would be unfeasible if guns and ammo are some of the supplies your neighbour keeps.
Mike: It’s funny, since you made that comment a few months back,
I’ve talked to my neighbor twice. The last time we talked the city was working on a water main and shut off our blocks water.
He came over to tell me “If things get bad I’ve got enough supplies to last for months”.
So, I asked if he had enough ammo.
His answer “I don’t believe in guns”.
Go figure.
Too many people say, “I don’t believe in guns.”
Then get perturbed by my obvious reply, “Oh they’re real! If you want to stop by my apartment I can prove it.”
They always take it as some kind of a threat when in fact I’m just offering to quash the “Gun aren’t real” conspiracies by showing him a gun.
Hang on a sec, a Texan tols you that?!
His answer “I don’t believe in gunsâ€.
My response “Me neither, but the city won’t let me put in ballistic missles.”
When they say they don’t believe in guns you should ask them what other 19th century inventions they can’t cope with.
Guess you didn’t get a good count.
There seem to be more than three ……..

Dude, give me an update, anything.
He’s afraid of the computer now. He knows we’re circling, waiting for him to put anything up. As soon as it’s up, the pent up frustration of not mocking him in public will come crashing out.
I dibs mocking his haircut when he does finally surface.
Hey, Piet, now that you’ve usurped his motivational poster gig, he’s hard pressed to figure out what to do next … LOL!!
Hello hello hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone Home?
I mean really, even I post more often than this. Just cause you sobered up and got a life is no reason to stop talking to the rest of us.
OK, if one of you has finally snapped and committed some kind of horrible offence that is precluding him from coming to the computer, I’m willing to act as your lawyer*.
*Must evade justice for the next three years while I get through law school. Offer not valid in places where trials are conducted in French or Texan. Definitely not applicable for trials conducted in French in Texas.
Isn’t just being from Texas, or speaking French an offense needing a lawyer?
What the hell?
How did I get lumped in with the French?
“Y’All” are just being mean.
I’m just waiting for the episode of cops where they drag Piet out in a wife beater with no shoes on screaming incoherently….It’s all part of going native, in Texas.
Hey, no making fun of the hillbilly accent Piet. I’ve been telling people that now that I’m going to law school in Alberta, I’m going to “U’All-Berta”.
As for how you got lumped in with the French, it’s basic tactics: Somebody has to take the French, so make sure that the first thing you do is give them to somebody else. To quote the great legal philospher Muntz on point: “Hah-hah, you’re ‘it’!”
I miss the posters, they were cool.
