I’m probably looking at zero bonus payout due to tariffs (and every one of my items is US Manufactured).

Took a giant profit hit before we could pass on the costs to our customers.
Eureka:

-Many places (especially restaurants) have seasonal closures or odd days closed. Plan around that.

-Zipline is fun

-Paddling white river is fun and relaxing this time of year.
Forlani was beyond hot in Meet Joe Black - she exuded this indescribable sensuality that was infatuating.

tariffs didn't exactly bring the American economy to a screeching halt?


For what it’s worth, price increases for the 20% tariffs from SE Asia, etc still haven’t hit the shelves. Most folks I know in CPG have increases coming late October.

One client of mine who manufactures IN THE USA is hurting significantly due to the tariffs on tropical fruits and seasonings
Imagine what it’s like just 10 hours north. 82dg here, but my first freeze should be before 10/20. No more planting here.
You can literally drift downstream in a canoe and catch your limit x5 with nothing more than powerbait.

Be prepared to drop some serious money. I dove deep into this a few years ago and was floored by the cost.

There are a few websites that were super helpful, like

Dude Ranch Org

Another List

Do you have a nearby crawlspace vent you can extend and vent via? Would be pretty easy to connect and extend under joists.
Do you drink more alcohol when on PTO?

What’s your rationale for formally putting it in his name? Just curious, I “gave” my college student a car but kept it in my name.

You could probably get a room/studio cabin at a local fishing resort for $200 a night; something like Spider Creek and hit up the trout before you leave.

Just need more tariffs


One very real impact I’m seeing from tariffs is that cost of inventory (for tariff impacted raws) is hurting companies. No matter where you stand on the issue, it’s an unplanned financial impact of 20%+.

Create beds of shade loving perennial ground cover.

Lamium
Ajuga
Texas Sedge
Hostas here and there
Maybe some hydrangeas

Most prairie options are going to be sun loving native grasses.
I’d love to see some pictures of this okra forest; I bet the flowers were beautiful
Start too light with linear progression, remove your ego.

If I could go back in time, I would absolutely start with JUST the barbell and add 5lbs at a time. I let my ego get in the way and missed out on easy LP gains. Lost 70lbs of fat, I would have benefited from being patient (even if it would have felt silly squatting tiny plates for weeks).

I’ve completely switched over to lined shorts. Wellen, Ten Thousand, etc.

They never get funky, never ride up, never uncomfortable.

I spent 4 days hiking in these in Arizona this summer, and now they are my go to for lifting.

My problem is the tariffs are applied to international agricultural products that cannot be produced in America. I have clients getting hurt by tariffs significantly who manufacture everything in the US but use intl components (tropical fruits, nuts, seasonings, etc)
