    Federal Land Sales for Affordable Housing?

    Lots of factors at play. Severe underfunding of NPS, USFS, and other related federal programs and agencies becomes a burden for working families in local communities. Lots of great solutions that lack the support to become a reality. Among a host of bad ideas, my pick is a 50-year lease (or...

    The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

    Seasonal depression kicking my butt - late Feb to mid April is the worst. Still keeping up daily workouts, although they’re a bit shorter lately. Gorging on clean eating over the last week as a rebound to my crash drop to 145. I expect I’ll level off before too long, especially with no grain...

    BLM acquires ranch in Colorado

    If you read the whole article, this parcel sounds like a real gem, far beyond the # of acres transferred.

    What to do with some savings

    It sounds like you might need to access the money in about 3-4 years, but no set date for sure?? If so, don’t be tempted by higher risk, higher reward investments. A solid high yield or similar sounds like a good plan, as you referenced. It is a different question if you’re parking the funds...

    Let Your Friend(s) and Hunting partner(s) know you care about em.

    Take care of yourself first and foremost. Survivor’s guilt is no joke.

    The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

    Weight loss challenge winner is announced tomorrow. After reflecting on the matter I asked to be removed from the running. I did my relatively easy semi-starvation diet and blew everyone else out of the water by losing 20% body mass. Everyone else either gave up along the way, or busted their...

    Getting a will done

    Depends how complex it is. When I was single I wrote a short paragraph and had a notary record two signatures (varies by State - check). My wife and I have 3 adopted kids, one biological, and 2 are special needs. We paid $1100 for tome.

    HT Healthy Eating Thread

    https://wildgameandfish.com/smoked-fish-dip-recipe/ Substitute prepared horseradish for creamy horseradish, avocado mayo for mayo, and cider vinegar for Worcestershire. I added scotch bonnet and garlic to mine (unrelated baked rabbit R in photo).

    The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

    146 - no more. Got a good hike in after work. Doubled my calories today to coast to next week’s competition weigh-in. My (presumptive) $100 prize is going to kick off high quality food for clean eating.

    Iowa legislative session 2026

    Money rides from NR landowners into politician’s pockets. Legislators are hellbent on pimping out our State’s resources - constituents be damned.

    Iowa legislative session 2026

    Remote work? Gig work of someone who lives across the State line? Contractors who take bids in multiple States? Pass through investors? And those are just the legitimate jobs. I could hire 1000 NR’s and pay them a salary, then have them pay me back under the table.
