Slow Week

For the last couple of weeks we have been working on a lot of change - getting a well driller scheduled, fiber optic cable scheduled, getting our vehicles squared away for another year, Barb got in a little practice with her new gun and a little work on the tiny house project. Still have to deal with the postal service though.


\\\\\loooooooo this is what the cat writes when she pounces on my laptop while I try to write.


A lot of lag time waiting on engineers, dealing with the health department, paperwork, driving up and down the road. I think we are all done with the peripheral stuff for the move out to the property where we are building the house. Barb has started writing a new book and is practicing card counting for when the new casino opens here in town and I am looking at a couple of commodity trades and getting up to speed on the bad old days of option trading of equities - there is a lot more regulation than there used to be. You know you can make money when the stock market corrects - right ? 

There isn't a day that doesn't go by without some scandal or other signal that we're not in Kansas anymore, it is time for us to take the offensive and exert some control over what happens in our lives. Everyone has different levels of tolerance, we  have reached the end of ours. Barb had her personal checking account hacked and the bank caught it so she didn't lose anything but she has to leave the account open because social security takes 2 months to re-direct her retirement payments to a new account. For 2 months it will be a race to the bank to see who gets those 2 checks, the hackers or Barb. I guess we can pay the bank to hold those deposits but that isn't right. I keep meaning to write a piece on why the Federal Reserve has to keep the taper of quantitative easing, maybe next time.
