    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    If you try to time the market, you'll just go crazy. While I'm only recently back in, and mostly in dividend stocks, I learned that a long time ago when I was actively investing.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Anyone know anything about JEPQ or JEPI? Seems almost like derivatives in a way, but they've been doing well for a while, writing covered calls. Not qualified dividends, though, taxed as ordinary income.

    What are you currently reading?

    About half way through Cry Havoc, by Jack Carr, author of The Terminal List series, featuring the father of James Reese. Set in Vietnam, in the days of Tet and MACV-SOG. Had a good friend that was in SOG and it rings true.

    What's on the smoker today?

    Did these on Sunday; there was enough of the pork belly attached we did it as mock burnt ends. You can barely see the rack of spares. Gave a friend a short plate and a couple of spareribs for dinner and she was really happy.

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    According to my friend at Berkshire Hathaway, lots. That's all she can say, but they're on a massive hiring spree.

    Memorial Day

    Our kids were stationed there (with NATO) and often told this story. Very touching.

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    This is true for sure. We have a bunch of folks arguing about 1B for security (read the bill), and the obvious threat is right here in front of us. I have a close friend who works here (in the Great Falls office, which opened pretty recently), and subsidies aside, it's happening. Lots of wind...

    Preferred Upland Loads?

    I loaded high-antimony 7.5s 1 1/4 oz 12 gauge shells for doves when I lived in Texas; great for late season when they were flying high.

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    I just grok'ed this, and it looks like this money is strictly for security upgrades for SS and hardening the target following the third assassination attempt, and cannot be spent on anything else. A lifelong friend of mine in the Special Ops community outlined how 5 or 6 guys could have carried...

    RIP Spirit Airlines

    Hate to kick them when they're down, but this is pretty funny nevertheless.

    A metalsmith re-stocks a No.1

    When your wife wants a new rifle, she's a keeper, and as it turns out, arrived just in time for Mother's Day. 6.5 Creed, Brux 26" 1:8 twist and Paul did something fancy with the trigger, and it has the quarter rib. Planning to use 124 gr Hammers, but also got some 143 gr Norma Bondstrikes...

    Any vintage stereo nerds here?

    Lots of folks think the Audio-Technica tables offer a lot for the money. Kids are really into vinyl, and my granddaughter wants one for her Birthday, and this is probably the route I'm taking. https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/turntables/best-for/new-to-vinyl

    WTB Whitewater raft

    You're going to love your SOTAR! Congrats. You might ask the SOTAR folks if that coating will stick to the plastic though; we had long patches installed on ours at the build where the frame sat, but you could do it later too.
