A little bit about me..

At this stage, I consider myself a ‘sort of ‘Jack of all trades.’ I’m retired, except I think I work more now than before! Several interesting careers have taught me much about life, people, and the electromechanical field. It started with a broad learning experience in my late teen years, working part-time (weekends and summers) in a hardware store (looking back, that was an excellent grounding!). After college, I worked several ‘mini’ careers (a few years each) until I settled into my interest in audio and cinema. Some of that time was spent in Massachusetts, where I grew up, while the bulk was in California. After retiring (early) from that life, I moved back east and have settled in New Hampshire, where I am enjoying life with Mrs. J on our homestead. We’ve been here since 2014, and I am in my mid-sixties. Time flies!

Today, I enjoy writing the occasional preparedness blog and working around the homestead (the endless lists and projects). I enjoy life on my patch of dirt here in New Hampshire (actually, there might be more rocks than dirt).

My politics and ideals. I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I don’t like being labeled one or the other, although I realize the system is what it is. I used to fall into the trap of division, getting quite worked up about everything ‘political’. However, I know we are being fed narratives designed to divide, so now I ignore most of it, especially since I cannot do anything about it. Instead, I focus on my life with Mrs. J, friends, and family, while pursuing life, happiness, homesteading, and sensible prepping and preparedness.

Prepping and Preparedness lead to a mindset and lifestyle resulting in peace of mind and a feeling of security, mitigating the uncertainties in our modern world. It is sensible, it can be fun, and it makes good old common sense.
