    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    I think about 20% of Berkshire and yes I know he is heavy invested in Short term US treasuries. I wish I had access to short term US treasuries thru my 401k I’d of likely already positioned some of my balance into that investment if available to me. I’ve only got a couple crap bond funds and...

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    Fish structures

    We don’t normally fool with pond structure in our farm ponds do to the cattle but the one I cleaned out last fall will likely not see cattle again at least for the foreseeable future so I’m thinking of adding structure. I think I’m going to build a fathead minnow breeding area out of drain pipe...

    Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

    My 87 year old mother in-law bought a chainsaw a year or two ago. I about lost my mind when I saw it on her kitchen table. I don’t think she has tried to use it yet but who knows she it always puttering around her yard.

    I-beam

    I scored a semi load of 12”x4”x9’ I-beams yesterday 49 in total I’ll likely use them to extend some chicken house trusses to put up a new shop over on the new farm when I get around to it. I believe they were originally for an extremely heavy duty pallet storage system of some sort.

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    Government spending is a big contributing factor to inflation I think the debt is simply an effect of their runaway deficit spending. The oil prices skyrocketing have the largest effect on the economy by far which can be laid directly at Biden’s feet.
