    The few caster builds I've done have been self cast. Looking for something new. Not a bow build as I did one this league and I'm guessing they're not going to be cheap.

    Any university with an ag department will have a place to pick up the bags to use and they will do soil test. Same for any ag extension service for your county or whatever.

    I've seen her brought up a number of times with ARKK and such. How did she get into the position that she is in that she has a big enough name that everyone talks about her and from what people talk like she impacts them as well?

    I fell down a hole today. Had the most basic empty hideout with just the shit I needed in a pile/row. Decided to download a more cleaned up hideout. Until just recently didn't even know that was a thing. I shouldn't have lol.

    Thanks. I haven't seen it. It was on the radio here earlier and wasn't clear if it was going forward or those in place. TX is obviously more diverse but LA a huge part of the budget comes from oil leases. Reason the largest heliport in the world is in LA for offshore oil work.

    Oil and gas servcie stocks (eneergy) dropping like a rock and price of oil climbing after a federal judge invalidated all gulf of Mexico leases, that's a large chunk of the budget in LA and TX. Didn't account for enough damage to the nvironment.

    But you can make a TON of money at work and the market. Nevermind the fact that a candy bar is now $20 you make more money and that's the selling point. My grandmother died at age 100 and I heard it until the day she died almost, she missed 20% CD's lol. Of course she didn't spend any money.

    Lumber going back up wildly again :( sad to say. I wish I had a friend that had an inside ear to OPEC lol. I did read for whatever reason some OPEC countries are having a hard time getting their production back up. Guessing shutdowns and such don't work well for them.

    Good luck with the house. I never followed a traditional investment path. I wanted my house paid for (and property tax here is incredibly cheap) to go through downturns in industry I work in. Once that was out of the way then I could get onto other things. Obviouslyl would make money sense to...

    I'm relatively low risk in my long term retirement. I would be less risk adverse in that stuff if I spent a lot of time researching the stuff I needed to feel comfortable. Instead I just leave it there and then do X amount of investing in private companies that I have a LOT more input in. Long...

    All my long term stuff is in in index ETF's. I swing trade from time to time in industries I deal with short term.
