Between this and trying to work with lamlock flooring, I am done for the day. Lamlock, if anybody ever wonders, is absolute dog crap. Even if you get the nice, 12mm stuff with the underlayment. Apparently, ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET THE 12MM STUFF WITH THE UNDERLAYMENT. A grain of sand or a roach turd under ot throws the whole thing out of kilter and it won't lock. Try to redo it? Screw you, the locking strip is broken now! Ha!

The poor, dead chicken was the punctuation mark on this day. I'm drinking a beer and going to bed. Skipping the shower, because I'm afraid if I touch anything else and it stops working i'll have to throw myself in the river

Been a WEEK boys. Looong week. Couple positives this week though. 1. Dad Finally told me i didn't owe him anything for using our baler and tractor and wrap to vale my hay at 1 of my rented farms today. May sound funny but my dad has never in my life gave me anything......ever......i was shocked but proud amd thankful. Saved me bout 1600$.....2.Garden is finally starting to come in, ive pampered it all summer wiped its butt and took care of it like a baby and its finally paying dividends....3. Was bout to go to remted farm today and my paw on moms side showed up and surprised me a ruger 44mag new in box hes had under his bed for 7 years. Id picked some beans and cut few head cabbage this morning and had set them in his front floor board and he told me get box out of the back seat wS a surprise. May try shoot a deer with it....4...i bought 2 heifers for beef back in May. Got to remted farm 1 day and had. Surprise calf from 1 well the 2nd calved today and both families are great. Not bad for a 500$ apiece scalp long as the heifers make.good mommas.

Lastly is probably the biggest...i called about taking out a farm operation type line of credit. Finally heard back today Dont plan on using it but with having as much going on as I do I feel like i need a safety net incase something dumb happens. Plus I dont like taking from what I got built up already to make the new 1 run and it in turn leaves me a little lower on funds than I like. Ive nevee taken out a loan or line of credit like this as uve just always just paid cash amd saved and if i didn't have the money I didnt buy it till I saved up. Makes me nervous but will like the backup if say tractor turbo blows or mower bar messes up or the like. Mainly just use it to help me make farm/cow/equipment payment and allow me to keep my calves a extra couple months to background them for more weight.

Below is garden, and wood stock gun is 1 he gave me....never been a ruger fan as I like browning but neat little thing anyways

We grew up very different,i was a spoiled brat growing up in germany. My parents were busy working but i didn't have to. Somehow i ended up enjoying the simple things in life and loving to do most things from start to finish. Sort of a big picture guy.
I think we would get along very well despite our different backgrounds.
I have yet ro take out a loan,and i am 48. I don't think i will start now.

Mowed my mom's yard and prepped her house for Hurricane Isaias. Will wait to see what the morning brings forecast wise before I decide to take a few hours to put mine up. Just got a new garage door this week that's hurricane rated to 160mph, but not ready to test the rest of the house...lol!
 
It’s amazing to me that people have actually never taken a loan out and own cars, houses, farms.

I took out a loan to go to college, after college (which I changed and never got my bachelors) I took out a loan and bought my first car that cost more than $1000, after 5-7 years and several small credit builder loans, I took a big loan and bought my first house, I was 27 or 28 thought we had conquered the world.


See you in a tree, Ricky

I dont make much money but i live a pretty simple life with few expenses. I kill my own hogs beef hunt fish grow a whopper garde....i have a -100$ a month grocery bill besides what I get for my daughter with things she likes. Main thing is taking care of my daughter....she doesn't have a computer iPad ipod we don't have internet nor cable or satellite tv....have a TV i hung up last November and as I am.here now it has only been turned on 2 times but never watched....i Dont have any bad habits besides hunting so everything I make i put toward farming or my daughter. She has an option in life to live a way many only wish they could. I do without ALOT of things I want and extra pleasures and amenities. My enjoyment comes from accomplishment of seeing my work done....this farm ive rented and bought the cows and equipment on is stretching me very very thin. Between it and the 2.other places I got rented that is my side gig away from the home its got me wanting some cushion....so with that along with our original home farm I just felt it was time. Hoping to get 10k. I figure thats enough and only use in emergency


I'll add my ex wife was all about gettin loans building credit and the like, i.seen it as while yes it built ya credit but it was also a waste of my money to due to paying interest.
