#[0] #[1]. I just had the great pleasure of meeting Texas Slim at the Ozark Beef Initiative. Outstanding conference, lots of great info about regenerative farming, farming without a bank, Bitcoin, food sovereignty, and more. If you have a chance, make the effort to attend on of these meetings. It’s great to be around and meet like minded people. And hat tip to rancher Jordan Richter for taking the picture.

Loving some ocean time with my wonderful wife.

The cascade of unintended consequences from corrupt fiat debasement infects so many areas of life. Shopping at Aldi today, my wife and I only bought a few items; steaks, bacon, shrimp, some fruit, cheese, dish soap, toilet paper, a few other kitchen items, and the total was $140. We wondered how other people are managing. Inflation will force people into unhealthy cheaper high calorie processed food choices, increasing obesity, increasing healthcare problems, increasing healthcare costs, etc. The deeply evil effects of monetary theft by debasing fiat currency cannot be understated.

I have learned that beach shark fishing success is similar to a batting average in baseball. If you land a shark .250 of the time, you are doing good. Lots of bait runs in the kayak. Lots of strike outs. But hey, it’s wonderful sitting on the beach with shark bait in the water.

The 1 year US Treasury is now above 5%. The growing interest expense as a percentage of the total government budget is going to be crippling. This is what a debt spiral looks like. Gonna have to print more to pay that higher coupon. Rinse & repeat.

Regarding East Palestine, Ohio; if my family was even close to the fall out, we are gone. Moving. I wouldn’t even care about the mortgage or the house, or my “credit”. My kids health is more important than my credit. I’m not saying this lightly. And that makes me wonder how many families are going to leave. It will crush the housing market in a huge swath of Ohio and surrounding areas. Could this credit event spark bigger delinquencies? A cascading event? I have to believe it will.

Van life…beach shark fishing.

Setup: Penn 14/0, 400 yards of 80lb mono to 12 feet of 200 lb mono to 6 feet of steel leader to circle hook to 3 lb brick (as my weight). Used the kayak to drop the bait 200 yards out, past the sandbar.

She was a beautiful fish. Unhooked her and sent her back on her way.

Landed my first tiger shark, Pensacola, Florida.

Wow, really impressed with the lighting bolt in peoples profiles. I zapped a few testing payments. So easy. Love it. Incredible. Definitely going to change how content creators get paid.
