    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    If a financial advisor is over 60, ask them why they aren't retired by taking their own advice. And let's face it, there's luck involved. If you hit retirement age in 2000 or 2008 and had most of your money in equities, that was just bad luck. Of course, that wouldn't have been prudent...

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    A lot of this is simply confirmation and disconfirmation bias, which is why it's somewhat meaningless to discuss it. Nick Shirley is testifying about the billions in fraud a single kid has found with almost no resources, yet the MSM, and those in that bubble ignore it. I have a very smart...

    Wings on, and, well, not smoked, but apple cobbler.

    Choosing the right gun for the hunt

    I took a blued, walnut stocked Model 70 to Alaska, and a small cleaning kit and small spray can of CLP. It was fine, and it was always wet. It was 300 Win Mag, because I was a one-gun guy for big game those days (and many after).

    6.5 Creedmoor Peak

    You know, I thought that too, but the guy I quoted is pretty smart. If I want to borrow her rifle ;) maybe I'll ask Paul Hampton, who customized it. I don't care about recoil.

    6.5 Creedmoor Peak

    Some pretty smart guy on another forum said maybe not for the Ruger No. 1 either (in 6.5 CM). I wasn't going to do it anyway as my wife is recoil sensitive, and doesn't need the extra performance at the range she shoots.

    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.
