This week was a busy week at work. The construction industry is still very slow, but we are seeing more projects up for bid in the last month. Not the multi million dollar jobs of a few years ago, but hey work is work.
I did a bunch of research on some things that I want to write about soon. I have some good ideas for some posts, but I want to do some more research on them.
I downloaded Gary Veynerchuk’s book CRUSH IT, and a book called BREAKTHROUGH – How the 10 Greatest Discoveries in Medicine Saved Millions and Changed Our View of the World by Jon Queijo. I l love all kinds of history, and am looking forward to reading this one.
Yesterday we had our monthly TSP meet-up. This month we were shooting in Burro Canyon. We had 24 people there, the largest group ever. We even had 4 kids under 10 years old, and they were great kids, it was great seeing them shooting and having fun.

This was a great weekend. We were so busy during the week that we did not get very much accomplished as far as preps go.
Friday night I watched Backyard Food Production. It is a DVD that we received from Marjory Wildcraft and have started to carry in the TSP Gear Shop. We have had the DVD for a few weeks and I wanted to watch it Friday because I knew that Marjory was going to be a guest on Coast to Coast AM on Saturday night.
I will do a full review of the DVD later this week.
Saturday night I spent a few hours on Skype with some of the Moderators from TSP. This is a great chat that we have weekly, and I consider it an important part of my preparations.
Sunday I did some research on the computer for some projects that I want to either finish, or start soon.
The rest of the weekend was spent doing things that needed to be caught up.
As usual the weekend was too short and I did not get everything done that I wanted to get done.

This week was full of technology preps.
I love the Galaxy Tab, I have had it a week and have spent that time running it through its paces and loading it up with Apps that I found in the marketplace and others that were recommended by friends.
We put all the links necessary to run the tsp gear shop on our Tabs, and that should help us to keep the store running as smooth as possible. I also put links to my blog dashboard on mine, so that I can make my blog posts from anywhere with out having to take my laptop with me.
Some of the apps that I put on my tab are.
Echolink: this is a Ham Radio application that I am very anxious to spend some time with and become familiar with, I want to learn it inside out.
I-Triage: this is a medical application that enables you to find information on thousands of symptoms, diseases, and medical procedures. It also has a directory of hospitals, urgent cares, and pharmacies nationwide.
Survive: this is the Tsp Android application.
Barnes and Noble Nook: this app lets me access my B&N e-books on the Tab as well as on my Nook. It is a great app, I also have it on my I-Pod touch.
The Weather Channel- A very complete weather information application. Great for planning trips.
KITCO- precious metal prices.
Barcode Scanner- A very cool app that allows you to scan bar codes on items and then look online andd locally for the best prices.
I am sure that I will be adding many more apps to my Tab. If you have any favorite apps that you use, please let me know.
