To reach out to those that want to learn and practice independents and self-reliance, we are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Hello everyone out there in Internet Radioland. This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy. Oh my gosh, I wanted to come to you all weekend. But we had a little bit of a glitch here at the Jones Stead. The house was built in the 70s.

So every so often, about once every five years or so, we get a clog in the main drain. So I haven't done this in a long time, but I had to get the super heavy-duty. uh, rota rudder up from the garage down below there and, uh, roter, the line out. Uh, I had bathwater coming up in the kitchen sink. Uh, so the, for the past couple days, we've been trying to get the solution. And the solution was, take the toilet out of the, uh, bathroom downstairs that I just put in a few months ago.

and a rotor rudder from the downstairs through to the main line. That's where the clog was. So whenever you have a clog in your line, if the water comes up, because water's going to level out, okay, it's like a level, it's going to hit the clog and then back up through to level out in your pipes. And that's why we were getting bathwater up in the sink. So there's your plumbing lesson for today.

So we knew the clog was in the main line and the closest spot to get to the main line. It does no good to go through the kitchen, which we did try, because it won't, it's not far enough down to get. And we tried that. long story short i have no water coming up in the um sink and everything's good no leaks no leaks plumbing is not my forte uh electric i can i can handle electric plumbing i um i'm forced to do it

i do it reluctantly i do it the best of my abilities and um usually i can fix one leak here and cause two more leaks over there. So that's my plumbing experience. Hey, and I've been following, you know, I've been listening to everybody. Phoenix needs the poster stuff to Spreaker because I saw it pop up on YouTube, but I haven't got it on Spreaker yet.

So if you're listening, J. Ferg, haven't seen it in in a spreeker uh i don't know if it even matters you know he doesn't he the intrepid commander does not monetize you know youtube or uh any of the other stuff so if you're just if you're getting it if you're getting the information that's what's important and of course i'm on a you know spreaker app that i downloaded on a phone that's two phones behind at least two phones behind and that's why you only hear audio you never see video of me because I just have never updated anything so that's that and sometimes I get taken down from speaker because my introduction is too long they say I play too much music that's why I jump

in as quickly as I can but I think it's important to get that music you get you know Get the intro. Hey, the Intrepid Commander got on there and was talking about a blackout in San Francisco. And I started thinking about people that live in apartments and townhouses. And I got to say, if you live in an apartment or a townhouse or some cluster like that, and I use cluster in the best possible terminology, you need you a solar generator. and always irks me to say solar generator because it's just a big-ass battery. That's what it is.

And it gets charged up by solar panels. And, you know, it has a power inverter. It doesn't really generate electricity. It gives the false impression. Usually when there's a storm or something like that, that causes power outages. You don't have any sun. to recharge your battery pack anyway. So to call it a solar generator, I think is a misnomer.

But that's what you need because, well, being in an apartment or townhouse, something like that situation, you won't have a large need for electricity. So, you know, it's not like you're running a well pump or, you know, heating off of electric. That ain't going to work. So something that keeps your refrigerator going, you know, a solar generator is perfect for that. And I noticed that the jacchery that Costco brought in like a year ago

is now on final clearance. So if you're wanting something like that, It's a jackery kit. Okay, it has the panels and everything you need. That's perfect, and it's around $500-something, I think it was like $200 less than before. Of course, I have my zero point that the Intrepid Commander pointed out that they were a sponsor a while back, and now, you know, they no longer make them, and they are excellent. exceptional. And I have that. I got, you know, one of the deals that they had. I think they were in the

Black Friday calendars or catalog. Hey, and it's the Monday before Christmas. So check out that catalog. There's still deals to be had. I told you about my Solomon Drive. And it's awesome. I got it plugged in. And, you know, if you're never going to download those things, things. There you go. Solomon Drive does it for you. And they give you space to put your own folder on there. So now whether or not it will withstand an EMP, I don't know, but at least you have backup information when the internet goes cofluy. So get you a Solomon Drive. What else can I tell you? There's just tons of stuff. stuff happening. We got a break. We got our break on Friday from school. And we're going to be off

till the sixth. Yeah, sixth. I think we go back on the sixth. The teachers have a workday, but the kids don't go back till the seventh. Something like that. So the school year is about a half over. I think the 20th of January actually marks the halfway mark. So it's about a half over. I'm looking forward to going back to retirement. I can't lie to you. I just stuff doesn't get done around here. And I know, I know. It's a blessing and a curse all. at the same time. And being able to teach the next upcoming generation, history, I love doing it.

They genuinely listen to my stories. But I said the other day to Deanna, we had a particularly beautiful sunrise, and she was trying to get a picture of it. I was trying to help her. And I said, honey, how many sunrises do you think I'll have left to see? And she said, don't say that, Dad. That makes me so sad.

And I said, well, I'd like to, you know, enjoy the rest of my life and not be tied down to a job. So, I'm not rich, but I don't have to work. So if you think that is rich, then I'm rich. But I can't just fly off to Abu Dhabi. So I'm not that rich. But, yeah. I'm about ready to load up the trailer to take a load of

metal. I have an old freezer, a push mower. I have a lot of metal. So I think I'm going to get a good amount of change that I can go buy some silver with. I told you that. That's my plan. I take scrap metal and turn it into precious metal. And that way it doesn't cost me anything, right? The only thing it costs me in my labor to take it to the trash yard. And they pay me cash. right out of a, like an ATM machine. It's pretty cool. And, you know, the Jones Stead comes up with a lot of scrap metal. We just do.

And, you know, I take scrap metal from the neighbors, too. I think that lawnmower was Larry's at one time. So, you know, I, the Boy Scouts used to do scrap drives, and they would go around to pick up everybody's aluminum cans and metal and stuff like that to raise money for the local Boy Scouts. So it can be somewhat lucrative. Christmas in a few days, expect I'll be back on before then.

I don't know if we have another sink blockage or something. We got a real tree. It fell over the other day, but it broke off. Our stand is not the best, and the tree is kind of small. So I have all the screws that hold it in. I have them put at maximum. And, well, you know how a real tree is. And then David goes and says, well, that's the reason you should get a

fake tree, artificial tree, so it doesn't fall over. I like the smell. I don't like the mess. The needles do fall off, and you've got to keep it filled with water. We check it every day. It takes about a quarter of day. So keep an eye on your real trees, PBN family. I know the lights don't get as hot as they used to. Back when I was growing up in the 60s. Yeah, we had real ink.

incandescent lights that got hot, you could burn your fingers on them. So the LEDs now, yeah, 60s. I found a really interesting YouTube thing about psychology of people that grew up in the 60s. And boy, it does tell my family, we watched it. I said, look, watch this video. you will learn a lot about why I can't relate to these younger generations. Because I remember the first time my brother's kids came to me and they were visiting. And he looked me right in the face.

He was maybe 10, 11. And he says, I'm bored. And I'm like, I'm not in charge of your. You know, not being bored. Go do something. I never in my life as a kid growing up would go to an adult and tell them I'm bored. There was just too much to do. I mean, we went out, we played, we made up games, we did stuff.

This generation, like I said, I can't relate. Anyway, I'm rambling on for no apparent reason, so I'm going to, oh, Ammo Squared. If you sign up for Ammo Squared, you get 90 rounds of 9mm free. So sign up for Ammo Squared. It's a great service. I know the Intrepid Commander does it, and I'm going to get a delivery today. today. So that's, that's it for the Jones homes. I'm looking for the warden. She thinks I won the ammo lottery. Long story there. So, oh, and Prepper Camp, man, the news for Preper Camp,

that new venue looks awesome, looks amazing. And I think we're, we're playing. planning our trip right now and we're going to get a nice a nice comfy spot and no more sleeping in the back of the cargo trailer and uh running up to the uh to the shower uh you know bathroom and wondering if you're going to have hot water if someone used up all the hot water they had the smallest hot water tank in that, that shower facility, that bathhouse. Yeah, boy. Yeah, memories. Memories of Preper Camp.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the new venue. And you should be getting your tickets because they're only going to get more expensive from here on out. I mean, even if you're just, if it's a maybe you're going to go, you should get your tickets now. Okay, PBN family, I rambled on enough. Take care, prep on, and stay tuned for PBN.
