My favorite time of the year. No heating, no AC, no need for the dryer. Saturday we used 17.3 kW and generated 46.9 kW Of that surplus, 21.6 went to the utility for credit against our bills later this summer. (The rest for use at night) image

Gas is getting ridiculously high here in Louisville. As my wife keeps pointing out, “we can’t keep going with all this winning” At work we use diesel, and I filled up the ambulance at the end of shift for $99.47! That is paid for by the tax payers. image

My dad got some Bluetooth hearing aids from the VA. They work well. Except once a month it wants you to log into the control app and pair them again. AND go through several small print agreements or you can’t use them. Dad can’t see the check boxes so he has to wait till we come to visit.

The U.S. spent 20 years and trillions of dollars replacing the Taliban with the Taliban. Trump replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei in just 9 days. The most efficient U.S. president ever!

I like #solar. It has a lot of advantages but also has some limitations. (Something many advocates pretend don’t exist) Where things go wrong is when the government steps in and pushes solar in weird ways. Like setting panels over parking lots so the sun only hits it in the morning. image

Saying happy retirement to CSM White. 40+ years of active and reserve duty. Five deployments. Got to present him his @KYColonels certificate. No better mentor and great example for others.

My opinion on the #BadBunny half time show: I am not the demographic they were targeting. I have not been since before the “wardrobe malfunction”

My friendly local coin shop is paying 8% under spot for #silver Just like they always have They take risk every time they buy The price could drop 5%-15% before they can resell They charge a premium over spot to cover their costs That is how they make money Same for comic books

I am always confused when people ask me #financial questions. I’m not a genius and not rich. I’m doing well and working hard to pay of three decades of stupid debt we took on. Just because I sit next to you for 16 hours a day does not make me a good advisor.

Same effort. Will have the same effect. The felon’s economic plans have more in common with Carters than anything else. Price Controls, Tariffs, Larger Fed Budgets, Increased military spending, tax cuts for businesses image

Went to my friendly local coin shop yesterday for my monthly #silver Eagle buy. Was shocked when he quoted $98.35 It was just $51.47 in October. I can only set aside $35 a paycheck, so no more monthly buys.
