I considered using Shipstation but a large portion of our order are multiple packages for one order which didn't seem compatible with Shipstation

we primarily ship ups but for international use fedex usps or freight companies.

We are moving to Shopify and planning on integrating a third party app Intuitive Shipping to help

re: September Destin Charter Fishing

Posted by SoLaSMB on 8/12/25 at 9:01 pm to
To your question- easiest and cheapest bet is to get on one of the party boats in the destin harbor. Will be all bottom fishing but you'll catch groupers and snappers. You will be next to 20-40 of your closest friends for 4-8 hours. Be sure to tip your deckhands when they clean your fish.

edit: price should be 50-100 ea not including tax and tip. very economical

Destin isnt really known for deep sea fishing unless you do an overnight trip or head West towards Louisiana.


Are you being serious?
It's one of the best places in the gulf.

"So what exactly makes Destin’s fishing waters so epically extraordinary? Well, unlike those overbuilt coastal communities where you practically need a boat just to get offshore, this Emerald Coast outpost has cornered the geographical jackpot for foolproof Gulf access. Owing to its impeccable positioning near some of the richest fisheries in the entire Gulf of Mexico basin, Destin has a major leg up over the competition when it comes to resources.

Just 70 miles offshore, the continental shelf gives way to an underwater trench called the Mississippi Canyon, which acts as an oceanic superhighway and breeding ground for many of the most sought-after commercial and game species that migrate through area waters – think riches like yellowfin tuna, wahoo, mahi, and marlin. But the advantages don’t stop there. Tracing along the mainland are some seriously impressive depths that start roughly 30 miles out yet quickly plunge to over 300 feet within just a few miles of shore. This “good close water” phenomenon creates the perfect hangout zone for massive bottom dwellers like grouper, snapper, and amberjack that thrive around the local artificial reefs and natural rock formations.

This doesnt sound right to me either.

Thatll be 1.5M gross taxed at roughly 35% for 950k with net income then 300k in debt so 650k.
That will have him at 950k liquid, 300k in home equity post sale and taxes.

200-250k a year with 2 medical offices seems like a fairly low take home income?

Is it closer to 500k and they used a 3x multiplier on free cashflow/sde?
I would recommend diving deeper. What about their financials, competitors, partnerships, outlook etc.

Don't just throw money at something that sounds cool.
you tried adobe scan/ocr feature? I found pretty good luck with that and google gemini
We're seeing 10-40% price increases, average being 15%, depending on the product across a few dozen vendors. Those were all pre-china tarrif escalations.

Appreciate your comments

At the end of day the Trump admin's ambition is to reduce the 10yr treasury right? If they are pushing capital out of us dollars(trade deficit, non-us defense spending etc) wouldn't that actually increase the 10yr?

For positioning, I agree mostly. I'm leaning more into commodity plays and real assets, including private. I'm more convinced on gold rather than bitcoin.

One contrasting point to consider is if you expect mag7 to face headwinds, that will certainly impact your grid buildout.

On the Mar a Lago Accords- I find this to be such an interesting concept. Would countries accept a 100yr bond with no yield to pay for defense protection? I find that incredibly unlikely

Not sure how you interpret the DOW being a better or best representation, especially considering its price weighted.
I don't disagree with the assessment of heavy tech focus of SPY

Interesting comment-What are your thoughts on the short, medium and long term? Additionally, how are you positioning?

Huge gun control advocate (matters to men)

Pretty unique story here as he was a very pro gun person. Until his wife(us rep) was nearly assassinated.

I'm not sure how large pro/anti gun control crowd is these days, maybe Trump is immune to it, but he's certainly not a pro-gun policy person.

So far those verified cuts are 8B. The remaining amount(30B-100B) have to be rescinded by congress as cuts as they've been allocated and required to be spent.

It's likely the raw materials are not 100% made in America.

Large parts of steel and aluminum come from abroad and it would take decades for that to be trued up.
