Nothing to do with that at all. Don’t care to share info, just prefer not to leave it out here.

Plus it was a lot of words that still didn’t explain it right. Close enough, and moving on.

Wednesday randoms

I've had a head cold since Derby. I think the excessive consumption of brownwater caused my immune system to give up for a couple of days.

New bull at the farm, gotta move heifers and steers today. Wily bastard started humping everything in site the moment he arrived.

Sold all my rental properties this spring. Figured it was a good time to lock in profits. Might buy some more units down the road, but for now looking to shift back into agricultural endeavors and contract work.

Looking forward to a weekend in NOLA with the crew. Should be an epic shitshow. I'm already planning on leaving a couple of dinners before the check arrives.

I met the owner of Rich Strike a few years back the day after his barn burned down. I was consulting on the cleanup effort. Pretty somber day that stuck with me. Dude was obviously tore up, barn was still smoldering, dead horses burned to a crisp laying around. Happy for the guys change of luck, because he seemed almost suicidal that day.

Been a busy spring so far, hoping for a more relaxed summer.

Our football team is going to be really good this season.

Midterms going to be a donkey bloodbath. Not too excited about the hard shift right though.

Glad to see Iron Mike not get charged for handling that loser on the plane.

Not ready for 90 degree weather, but definitely over anything below 60 for the time being.

Employee just handed me an invite to his wedding and instead of it having the date and time, it had a QR code that took you to his wedding page.

"Oh.... hey bud, this site says your wedding is on November 19th.... Thats football season... Let me check the football schedule."


"No need sir. It's the same day Georgia game. Im sorry, my wife picked the date."


"Ummmmm, where you registered at? We are probably going to miss it."

Still havent decided on a new gas grill. Went ahead and had someone come out and quote me to frame in a built in kitchen for the patio- which was small/simple. No electric needed to be rerun, just a frame, countertop, small amount of storage. $17k. Hard pass. I didnt even gather the words to ask how it costs that much but whatever. I'll just get a freestanding one and move it around as necessary.

"Inflation levels eased to 8.3%" per The News. Eased. GTF Right out of here with that ********. Quit blaming a pandemic where the worst has been over for some time. Quit blaming other countries. Quit considering forgiving $10k of student loans for people that didnt fulfill any obligation of service when the loans were taken out which will only make inflation worse. Figure it out or the feaux abortion outrage isnt going to save you during the next election cycle. People like to claim they vote for social causes- the reality is they vote for improving/maintaining their own situation, even at the expense of social causes.

I dont mind the heat, certainly dont love it. Its the 7 months of it with no berak here that makes ut brutal.

3 day trip to Fairhope/Point Clear this weekend as a test run vacation with a baby. We'll see how this goes.

Turns out shutting down the economy for 2-3 months then "haha" work from home(anywhere), great resignation, give people a bunch of government money to spend on products and home projects, quarantine after every sneeze, and force parents to home school for a year and a half has consequences. Couldn't have seen that one coming. Supply chain is no better today than it was 2 years ago with estimates of 15+ months before they can ease the issues.

Oh, it's going to get fixed before that... How you may ask?

Extreme pricing increases on retail products that dont mirror what people are making. I know in our business, the average price increases on new products have been close to 18% in the past 12 months alone. This is already slowing demand in our industry although it may be different in the HVAC side because people need their heat and AC.

Soaring interest rates, slowly killing the 0% financing that moves the needle for many in the retail industry.

Freight costs continuing to climb at a rapid pace, adding additional cost to products.

A major recession that many financial experts I listen to were predicting 3rd/4th Quarter of next year or 1st quarter of 2024 are now saying it will probably hit us 4th Quarter of this year depending on what the fed does.

All of that together will slow consumer spending down quite a bit, allowing manufactures to get caught back up. Once that happens, pricing will hopefully drop some (will never be back where it was), and hopefully some pricing competition will drive manufactures to be competitive with programs and financing options.

But the worst is still ahead of us and I agree with you ANTH, with as long as this pandemic / supply chain issue has been going on, nothing is getting better. Every month the news we get continue to get from our manufactures is worse and worse on product availability, at least in our industry.

Positive side, recession right now followed by a 14 year surge, like we just had, would be pretty wodie. Hit the peak right about my earliest/extreme best case retirement age? I can deal with that long game. Made the mistake of looking at my investments yesterday. F*ck.

Married in January because when we were poor we couldn’t imagine anniversary vacations during other months as they were nice weather wise.

We didn’t think about all these kids though, and school not giving a damn about our want to travel in Jan.

How much of the supply chain issues revolve around the fact that there’s just a whole bunch of mf’ers on this planet? Serious question.

During my darkest moments over the last 2 years, I’ve weirdly thought this whole pandemic might have been an attempt to thin the herd.

I think one of the Dan Brown books addresses this.... "Really want to tackle climate change? Start by eliminating half the people on the planet"

It doesn’t take a whole lot of research to find out what the elite think about our population numbers

Scary. Folks, if you haven't already, now is the time to plan the Speakeasy bar in your new house, maybe with a ventilation system for stoagies.

If you're looking at financial fall out, or a potential nuclear war, where else would you want to spend your time than in your own Speakeasy bar, drinking top notch brown water, and smoking a Davidoff?

😂

Maybe I'm strange in that I enjoy bourbon and good cigars. Especially for a guy from Kentucky.
