How about clearing out that cupboard and seeing how many things you can sell on EBay. That way you can spend you time finding interesting things that you forgot about whilst maybe making some money at the same time. Then you can spend the money the next weekend.

Hi,

Like the post. You would be suprised how many places you didnt know about just round the corner if you go on a walk. Thinking about getting the old Nintendo out for some Golden Eye too.

Thanks

I like your quote on “Learn something new Go to MIT’s OpenCourseWare”, something I used to do previously but later these days I have started to spend lot time over Scribd, while MIT’s OpenCourseWare is more into academic content.. Scribd is generic by itself – you get to watch/read topics that you like!

I have been spending a longer time these days at Scribd reading topics that interest me!

Great Post BTW.. Trent :)

MVP I enjoy making beer and I’m sure it’d be great fun with a gang of mates at a brew club. Strange, although I make it I don’t like drinking it! The husband likes a dark ale to drink in the winter and I make him a refreshing larger in the summer.

Wine making seem the best idea so far, but does anyone have know where to begin?

Trent, I’m Bill Kruse (again), and I’m in the UK. we were a nation of shopkeepers but now the people the other side of our counters have their own shops so we’re out of business.
Are you in wheat-growing country? You guys could do well for a while as the Chinese have started buying wheat now.

I’d like to try making beer. We’re surrounded by tons of excellent wine here in wine country, so I have no desire to compete with that (although my husband enjoys winemaking). But it’s hard to find a nice, rich, dark beer at a decent price around here. I have to travel to one specific grocery store for any sort of variety, and then it’s usually pretty expensive. I’ve had friends’ homemade beer, and it’s been great. There’s a local brew club in town, so someday I’d like to take advantage and brew my own beer.

Trent, I’m very interested in your winemaking experiences. What wines do you make? I bought the necessary equipment to do 5 gallons last year and wasn’t able to make any because we were moving back & forth due to water damage. I’ve been told it’s easier to start with a red, in which case I’ll probably give a Merlot a try this year. Your opinion?

Also, on the frugality aspect. It’s cheaper to make your own wine except for the capital cost of the equipment. Using your dad’s equipment is frugal but how would you say the cost works out when you have to buy everything from carboys to bottles?

I’d love to see you do a whole blog article on winemaking.

Regarding #9 – 101 goals in 1001 days…. I know the numbers are different, and this site has probably been mentioned here before, but one good place for this is http://www.43things.com

Bill, I don’t know what your experience is, but where I live there is virtually no unemployment and lots of places are looking for workers. It feels, from my perspective in the middle of Iowa, that things are utterly booming.

Celeste: making your own wine is great fun. I have made it for years with my father in his basement, and now that we have a house (we just moved in 10 days ago), I plan on starting my own batches down in the basement.

16) Prepare for a money-free culture. I think that certain ratios have to be extant for a societal model based on an economy to actually be feasible. I think it’s getting obvious that the idea of empowerment through work is on the way out now. Too many people, not enough work.

Great list! I certainly spend quite a lot of time doing free things these days, and I’m glad! It’s a must to fill up our time with free, productive activities as an idle mind and void spirit can be trouble (in more ways than one).

Some houses of worship can also be a source for free food. If there’s a Sikh temple in your area, it’s the most likely candidate. I’m not advocating abusing the privilege – but, that’s what the food is there for. The ones near me are open regularly; anyone who wants to pray or eat can pray or eat, as long as you remove your shoes and cover your head.
