This is why there’s no crops. Just tree farms and cattle
Our supplemental protein bill for the cattle will be high. We usually start feeding hay around thanksgiving. We ran out of grass the 1st week of October.
We luckily got hay early and the 2nd cut had enough. But feeding hay for 5 months of the year is no way to be profitable.

I hate warm hunting but here I am. I just want to get out the house. I’m not shooting anything unless it’s a monster buck or hogs. Thermocell already battling mosquitoes
Last night was the first rain we’ve seen in 12-15 weeks. It’s been brutal.
The ratios…
And those who posted that for PBS don’t care one bit.

She may be. But what’s your alternative? Vote her out in 6 years if you don’t like her. Put her in office now to keep the democrats at bay because don’t be fooled, they are full on socialist. JBE may have claimed to be a moderate dem, but Covid ripped that mask off.
This. Same with everything, I was talking with a fire chief, fire trucks as well. One sensor dies and a whole truck is down.
We need to get away from electronics in our safety rescue and ag diesels. I kinda get it in airplanes where the engines speak with GE constantly, but a tractor doesn’t need that technology.

Two Ocean Navy act of 1940 as well. I’m not a FDR fan, but he did see war on the horizon and prepped the nation for it. This act helped the Navy prep for the next gen of battleships and aircraft carriers needed.

Yes, we should have. Reason being that while we were trying to sell to both sides, the British blockade made selling anything to the Germans hard. As such, we sold a shite ton more to the British and they owed us money. We had a vested interest in ensuring a British and allied victory to get our money back.
It’s amazing that the British made their last wwii payments in 2006. Those bastards never did fully repay wwi.

Do not go below 18" although a 20" is better for that round. Overall 6.5 Grendel is probably the best overall performing round for the small AR, but you need a longer-ish barrel to really get the benefits.
Dang, just ordered a 12” and plan on going down to a 10” eventually….
It really depends on what you’re doing with the short barrels. 300 yards on in it fine to take Louisiana game.
They can stretch to 800 on plinking with the right setup.
The 6.5 grendel does not lose as much energy as other rounds in the ar15 platform. Especially when you use the lighter loads like 90 grains.
The 6 arc is a nice round, it’s only peeling out roughly 5% more at range than the grendel. The 6.5mm seems to be the sweet spot on efficient gas usage in shorter barrels, at least in the ar15.

I read somewhere that with interest rates still high, a lot of these new data centers are being financed with some pretty risky debt, including junk bonds. If the demand for AI doesn’t materialize the way they’re hoping, all that borrowing could come back to bite them. Could have some real echoes of 2008.
This isnt the same bubble 08 was. The major players doing the heavy lifting on AI data centers, your googles and Microsoft’s of the world, they can manage the debt as they are hugely profitable. There are smaller companies that would get hit if the cash doesn’t come. You’d get a dot com level hit than an 08 hit. Impactful sure, but not Great Recession level.

Diligent defense has their enticer around $600. They are excellent but hard to find in stock.
Thought bourbon had to be aged at least 7 years?
The law should have been repealed. I’m not sure how a budget will get passed if the dems take over the house. You know they will jack up the tax. There will be a huge fight over it. But, if the current Congress would have repealed it the proper way, who’s to say the democrats wouldn’t just reverse it anyway “the proper way”.
They are seething with anger over this.

I know a guy pushing 50 that uses a .22-250. He still gets em. Guys kill them with 6 arc.
Hell I’m one of the 6.5 Grendel biggest fans.
.243 is an older cartridge, but kills all the same.

Central LA, they ran through our pastures heavy 2-3 weeks back. But the jokes on them bastards as we are in such a drought. I think it says d2 but I’d say our spot is d4. There wasn’t much for them to eat.
Feeding hay in October is nuts. Hopefully we have enough hay to last this winter.
