Is anyone going to be around here this weekend or can I say inflammatory things and get away with it?

That sucks. If it is similar as those used on golf courses, they’re fun to drive.

My John Deere has close to 1000 hours on it and had a shed roof fall on it and it is still purring along.

I bought mine new so I didn’t have to deal with someone else’s abuse. I also do not have a zero turn which might be another reason it’s still chugging alone. I also am not handy, so I have any issues fixed by the dealership.

Way back in the day when I was first going to buy a riding mower, I was going to go cheap, but my mother-in-law insisted I get a John Deere.

So many admins! Did I stumble into a checkstop?

This song will always be the seminal summer “patio” song. Just listening to it in the background conjures memories of the lake and bridge parties from my senior year back in Wainwright, Alberta. Came out same year I graduated.

CNBC Headline:

Dow drops 300 points, breaks below 30,000 on fear the Fed is overdoing its inflation fight

Translation: A recession is eminent.

The only way to stop the runaway inflation is to force a recession. It’s happened almost every time interest rates are increased by the Fed. It’s on purpose.

I don’t understand why we aren’t already in a recession. I don’t know all the technical definitions but this certainly feels like other recessions I have experienced.

I’m eying 1 year T-Bills. Little over 5% now.

We are. That happened in June with 2 straight quarters in GDP, It’s not a bad recession yet, but I expect it will be. Layoffs have been happening. Just not being widely reported for some reason……

I just bought some as well.

We fly out of Bismarck on the 8th…going to Nashville.

Last time I flew in/out of Bismarck was easily 25 years ago. I remember landing there once in a bona fide blizzard, was scary as the entire approach could not see any lights below. At least in Billings on the typical approach to 28R you are flying over portions of the city near the threshold.

Basically the same thing as a blizzard, everyone buys out the liquor store and generators at Hone Depot and forgets how to drive

I think just getting up in the morning makes a lot of people forget how to drive.
