I've always had a side that leaned toward procrastination, but never to the point that I seem physically, mentally unable to take care of business.
For example, I still have a number of task not started, or unfinished that I need to complete to protect my property, family wellbeing, in the event of civil unrest.
I have done somethings, but I am very frustrated that I am having such difficulty getting key important task completed. "You fucking had the chance and failed them", is how I will feel if I don't complete these things.
I am hesitant to blame what might be pure sorry ass laziness on some outside force, but damn it man, I swear I seem to be under the influence of some bad mojo, and was just wondering if I was alone in this.
...mine (trigger finger) is growing very "itchy"...
Got a few things I need to finish:
It's not like I have done nothing, but not there yet.
For my front fence, I have grown some Bougainvillea plants from cuttings that I planted in front of fence path. They are very thorny, and when they grow out would be almost impossible to penetrate without pain.
I have well, not on city water, and generator, but that would only last for a couple weeks. Also have 15K pool water source, and enough Sawyer mini filters I could keep from thirsting to death for a while, and could flush potty's, but I really want to get that well down with pitcher pump.
I have probably three months of emergency food per person.
A 30x30 garden with some beans, melons, cucumbers, pineapples.
1 Banana tree, two Jamacan cherry trees (birds eat), one Moringa tree (young)
At least 1000 rounds per bang bang.
Enough Chlorine Dioxide to last a year, six tubes of horse paste IVM, Vit-D, multivitamins etc. and DMSO.
I'm square with the lord (a big one.)
Enough money to burn a wet mule runnin (just kidding)
Lanterns
Two generators. (working on one given to me the other day for free) Guy used it once, didn't know to drain fuel out of carb for storage) so he bought a new one, used it once, didn't drain carb, bought a new one and then learned to drain fuel lol.

I got a pack of these. They are cheep, durable, and use AA-batteries. I don't like having to depend on a rechargeable battery, although rechargeable battery are much better today that the old ones.

You need some solar panels and solar thermal generators with a solar hot water tank. Given you have pineapples you prob don't need the winterize option
We made a solar cooker and used it daily for years for rice and beans (you can store them easily). It was cheap and we actually liked eating that way, with soy sauce, olive oil and salad.
Nope, no chance of freezing here lol.
Been looking at solar. Do you thing the solar generators are enough or are you talking about whole house solar capability. Or just solar for battery recharge.
We bought the Sidekick solar generator from 4Patriots and it came with a free solar panel. It has plug ins for your cell phone as well. I think it only has the watts to run a refrigerator about 9 hours as it is the small one. The large generator is large enough to possibly run your lights, refrigerator and other appliances (not an electric stove) for quite some time. I wish now I had bought mine from PatriotSupply.com as their generators are quite a bit larger in wattage for the same price. But my husband got confused at what I said and ordered from the wrong company. It's okay, at least we have something to listen to the radio, run our small camper for some time if we have to go to our Militia Team, and whatever else we may need. It sounds like you've got your plan well laid out.
