Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

Boomers!

 

Nice piece of history.

 

I'll hatch you out a dozen hens if you want 'em, no roos either. Nice birds that'll produce large/xtra large brown eggs.

We butchered our last two hogs, end of last year. No $$$ in raising hogs right now, unlike a few years back.

I'm running tomorrow to get a load of cedar fence posts. My offer still stands, I'll feed you if you help me drive 'em, no soup line here. Hey, there's an idea, maybe I'll make up a sign, "trade food for work."

 

Thank you sir. I appreciate your offer. I'll be grateful to work for food when hungry.

I read somewhere that in old times in Southern Texas, Cowboys were paid by a piece of flank stake. So were Oklahomians migrating to California to pick peaches in 1930s.

I don't need that fiat money.

 

I learned long ago, when they (Gov) say it’s about safety and not money, it’s about money.

(For those who think it’s politics and not money, keep in mind Obama just bought a 12 million dollar home in Martha’s Vineyard).

Obamas buy Martha’s Vineyard mansion for $11.75 million

 

My nephew is an appraiser in NC and is slammed as well. People are trying to re-fi and sell before the housing market tanks. I'm afraid that ship has most likely already sailed. A person would have to be crazy to buy now. My brother sold his home for top dollar in NorCal the 2nd week of January, just before the poop hit the fan. I'll bet the new owners are now pissed.

 

In other news I was at my local Kroger and they are starting to catch up. Still lots of empty shelf space but less than last week. I’m thinking at this pace they could be back to normal stock in 3 weeks,except for tp of course.
