How I did it: Closed the BofA account today.It's done and feels oh-so good.Total Elapsed Time: 5 weeks Actual Effort/Standing in Banks/Online Stuff: 5 hoursMy BofA CD was earning me 0.5%. A savings account at my new credit union earns 1%. Additionally, I get 3% interest in my checking account itself. I've started looking a bit at their CDs and other savings products which will get 1-3% right now. Overall, it is just better financial service, better… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Took a class as part of some continued first aid/CPR/emergency response training. Pretty basic common sense, trauma, bleeding, shock, level of consciousness stuff. Basically it was a "how to be a good first responder" kind of course for urban environments. This, combined with CPR, makes you pretty empowered in basic emergency situations. Everyone should know this stuff. It's about how how to help others like you would liked to be helpe… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I took a class at work as part of our emergency response team training. My knowledge is now good for two years.We did practical training on CPR dummies for both CPR and AED training. We also had lots of stories and real life knowledge imparted to us by our instructor (great guy, funny too). We took a final written test that really just cements what you gain in the four hours.Sign up for one and go do it. It's actua… Read how I did it…
Have been too busy with other things to fulfill my picture, review, how I did it entry here.
Safe to say, if you are just putting in a new head-unit like I was, this is very easy to do. Choose a stereo, buy a wiring ahrness for the model of your car, wire the harness to the radio, remove all the bits needed and your old stereo, install the new one.
Our older car now had iPhone handsfree calling and ipod compatibility. Pretty slick.
Here is what I want to make to stick in my bug out bag:
It’s versatile. It can run on all sorts of liquid fuel. It’s easily made from every day trash: low tech. So, yes, while I will pre-make one and stick it in my emergency, earthquake, bug out bag, learning how to make this and general use is more important then actually having one.
It’s not about a precious high tech pressurized camp stove. It is about the knowledge to make a low tech stove solution from a discarded can.
I got the wiring harness all wired, crimped, and set to go. I’ve been feeling a bit lazy in the evenings after work not wanting to tinker with the car. This weekend though I’m going to make an effort to pop apart the dash console and give this a go. (gulp)
