I don't want to hear any,'I own this place, well me and the bank'. Skin in the game, keep the riff-raff out of politics and let the grown-ups handle it."but that land shouldn't be encumbered with a mortgage, eh?"
Nor should property taxes be applied after the mortgage is paid,essentially we already own nothing and rent forever as well as property taxes inflate and even moreso every improvement you make

I understand your reasoning on ocean caught salmon. We always tried to catch river salmon as soon as they showed up.

Hey Sub...I gave my curd bowl a jiggle and it is starting to firm up but I won't be using it today.
Time to supper of garlic mashed potatoes, fried corn and a beef striploin steak.
See you when the sun shines again...hopefully

I’m funny about salmon as I once saw worms in a piece from the market. Turned me off for it for life I think. I don’t buy any farmed fish either. Usually has to say wild caught at least for me.
That's me! I was born with nothing and needed a job!
You have to have played golf to enjoy watching the game. Golf is much more difficult than it looks. I stand in awe.
yeah,i saw a salmon on a light table and it was riddled with parasites,and many times cutting one open the belly was full of tapeworms...i swore off sushi after that...that said,many times out fishing there was a little hibatchi grill on a davit and we would cut some sections of belly meat and quick marinate it in soy sauce,sesame oil,and a little brown sugar and give it quick cook...sashimi style...
i miss fish,but i live in the desert,the salmon they sell here is considered sled dog food in alaska

I lived on 40 acres for a year back around 1978 with the land owner & his wife. He held 3 jobs, farming the 40, bee keeping, and working at CF&I steel mill in Pueblo a mile south of his place.My grandpa born in the late 1800's was a GP (medical doctor). My mother told me that though they were not rich they were alright compared to many, especially during the depression. Both my parents are depression kids; my dad was actually in his mid-20's when it hit. Mom told me that my grandfather worked extremely long hours, and since my mother's mom died early, the kids had a helper, but generally raised and watched out for each other. Mom said even before the depression, but especially during, grandpa often did house calls and worked for free. He was a doctor for God's sake, and took the Hippocratic Oath seriously. He cared for the needy and poor regardless. Mom remembered her dad receiving barrels of pickles, eggs, chickens, and pigs for payment. Many times unexpectedly and long after the fact. Folks were honest, hardworking, and grateful then. And they were sincere and genuinely caring. We should all remember. Most folks on this thread do. That's why we get pissed off with those that don't.
I'd watch the mill dumping slag from my living room. It would glow cherry red in the night. I'd pick mustard grass out of the alfalfa in the field for cash. CF&I is no more. They used to make steel rail among other things.
He lived through the depression and told his offspring to "Never sell the farm!" Of course, after Mr. Morgan died they eventually sold the farm and moved north. The farm was his insurance and survival during hard times.
People get comfortable (transgender and the other goofy stuff schools are 'learning' people) and don't think that war, famine, pestilence that happened throughout history could never happen here.
That's why it's called a 'rude awakening'.
Golf is a game where you are your own,opponent,it's all on you,it's a mental game and you find out how honest you are. You should try it, I've never watched a complete football game in my life but I'd go to a live game, to each their own
a lot of the younger generation just dont want to farm or live that farm life and the $$$$$ truckload of money$$$$$ is an easy out
but thats their choice
exactly man!
i have played sport and ive played games
there is a difference
a sport is where someone is actively competing against you
in golf you are competing against the course
