I'm sorry if this is disjointed, but I literally pulled over to the side of the road to get this all out of my head:
I'm very uncomfortable with the US gov saying they aren't going to (try to) stop the King flu.
In a couple months (when concrete will set) I have/had a building project That will expand my storage, and had intended on adding another pallet of dry goods (grain, beans, rice etc.)
I am tempted to find some and have a pallet drop shipped to somewhere near me, and load my pallet Jack on my trailer. Then just pull it into my bay door and let it sit (Cat will get to sleep in the garage) for the next couple months.
got the milar, would just need the 02 absorbers, and I've done many a bag.
Rambles:
I think I'll need to cut the top off an IBC tote and fill it with milar bags (can't think of a better idea) , can't put much more than 1,000lbs of hard red winter wheat on a pallet in 5 gal buckets even strapping them together, and the buckets/kids are an unnecessary expense. I thought about 35 gal barrels, but their square footage: lb isn't great eiher. I could only fit ~250lbs per bucket (I HATE moving things unnecessary, but was thinking of bagging up and storing it in the barrels, I have 8 extra... But then I thought about just leaving the pallet for 2 months. Putting the pallet back on the trailer wouldn't be bad.
I intend on putting up 2,100lbs more of rice (and eat it the rest of My life)
But wheat has 3x the calories by volume and I still have more (storage) to build.
got plenty of grains already though, enough rice for a few years. Only a couple hundred lbs of beans (but I grow beans)
The rice and most of the beans (if I make this load beans and rice) I'll eat. I have wheat I'll never eat. (It'll be rotated as animal feed starting in a few years, put it up in 2007.) So it's not a loss, but.... Less useful absent need.
Also:
In the past I've either bought a few sacks of rice and put them up, or taken a trailer and bought straight from the farmer.
I doubt even Sam s would have the volume I want in one go.... And I want competitive pricing.
Ideas where I should shop?
(Someone is gonna say Walton feed.)
Looking for input to help me organize this thinking.
Don't NEED any of this, I don't keep exact records, (yet) but me and mine are fine come what may. But if I'm Doing it ANYWAY in a couple months...
I remember the end of Schindlers list when he's talking about how the ring was a life, the car was 10 etc.
Could help some people, gonna buy it anyway.
