    Yup, all over west, TX because it's much cheaper to put up a windmill in the middle of nowhere than run power out to it. Pumps water all the time unless you set the brake and it doesn't turn. Sometimes they set the brake when whatever fills up.Also they get annoying as shit if you live close by...

    Use a windmill. They're all over west, TX. Not a gigantic one. You can always set the brake if you get tired of listening to it. That's what they all over for. Pumping water all the time till you don't need it and then you set the brake or have an overflow container.

    My Z71 has cylinder deactivation for 4 cylinders. It comes on according to the readout when you stop. If you are moving as you normally would it never activates above 60mph. So for me it rarely comes on. I never notice on the readout other than when I'm coasting down or to a stop. The newer ones...

    I'm not really oil. I just picked it up on an upturn when I had some extra cash in that account. In the past all my actual investments related to oil were done on a personal/small business level and not publicly traded.

    I get shitloads of stuff from inside the industry short term forecast from a number of executives.

    Being extremely paper hands, I have no idea where oil is headed and guessing anyone that says they do don't either. Made 25% on an oil etf over the last 3 weeks. Took my profits out and left the rest. I bought some other when the oil price was liteally negative for 1/2 a day. I haven't taken...

    Thinking about this today earlier, my rant on country music now. The husband of my niece is a semi professional songwriter. His first wife was the daughter of a songwriter for Hank Williams Jr. He's sold one or two songs. Anyway. Several years ago on the Nashville network or something they had...

    Walk in coolers for hanging deer all over south, TX in a pretty hot climate that used modified window units. Some of them quite large, big enough to hold a dozen or more deer for weeks at a time.

    Old enough to remember 18% CD's when I was young. Heard it for the next 40 years from my grandmother about how much they sucked now.

    I have full faith in Blizzard to recover. They're going to ride the success and money from making a graphics only change to a 20 year game that they can't keep the servers online to restore their former glory.

    Energy sector etf I picked up a small amount of 3 weeks ago is up 21%. Mostly big name oil companies. Saw today fracking is picking up in the permian basin now but it's all almost private companies. The large companies sold off their lease holdings since the pandemic started.

    Waylon died in 2002. I saw him in one of his last concerts. Someone in the audience said something. He had to use a cane and was sitting on a stool and said "If you bring your ass up here I can still kick it". Any artist that actually owns their music now owes a lot to Waylon. The whole outlaw...

    Crude now above $80. Been talking to a number of lease holders. Nobody I've talked to has seen anyone starting fracking again. Earlier in the year a number of large companies were selling off their leases in the Permian basin. Seeing predictions of $100 barrel but nobody knows. Not only oil...

    Uncle always had an Avion trailer. Pulled it every other year to AK from TX to spend the summer.

    Oil right at $80/barrel for WTI. Interested to see if there's a psychological effect. Guessing not since everything else has been upside down from normal. My speck of the oil world is now leased up 100%, so obviously total shutdown on drilling incoming.

    Been 1099 all my adult life. You are supposed to estimate your income and pay taxes quarterly based on that. If you don't you make it up at once during your yearly filing, but you pay a penalty. No idea how much a streamers income varies quarter to quarter. Mine always did a lot.
