    I think Warren would agree he doesn’t get everything right if that is who you are speaking about. Absolutely no one gets it right in the market all the time. Warren has also said that he doesn’t invest in things he doesn’t understand, early technology was one area he said he missed out on reaping big returns. I still am happy with my returns on Berkshire Hathaway and the other funds I have invested in over the last 35 years. I don’t invest in things I don’t understand either, bitcoin being one. The little I have studied about Bitcoin is that it is too unpredictable for me to invest a single dollar in it. Doesn’t mean others can’t make money on it.

    No I don’t have one. Is that what you used for the hard to access ratchets?

    I was referring to Buffett, yes.

    It seems like older generations are very wary of crypto just as they were the internet in general not long ago. I personally have not yet dabbled at all with it but it seems to skew heavily towards younger tech-savy generations just like smartphones and other techno-wizardry did in the past. However I think crypto currency is less like an “investment” vehicle and more like precious metals in that it is just a store of value with no counter party risk. Sure, they go up and down in dollar terms and some people play that game to try and profit, but that is not the point. Anyway I thought his ideas on that topic were ridiculous, that’s all.

    They may very well be ridiculous to you, but may not be to others. I don’t agree with myself 100% of the time and definitely don’t agree with anyone else 100% including Warren. If I did my entire portfolio would be invested in Berkshire, but that wouldn’t be wise at all for my investing strategy.

    I just screwed in 90° zerks, and lined them up with a hole.
    Nobody up here has the needle zerks, and with our weather going to crap this week, I needed to get it done while it was nice last week.

    Did you drop any of the plugs in the process? Now that I have a bag full of spares I didn’t drop a single one. I did order a tip kit with a 90 after you mentioned it.

    I've been wondering when you were going to get time for this. Lol. I know we've had a few conversations about these. I hope they work well for you!

    3 or 4. Kept my magnet handy. Didn't lose any, though. I park on the typical mountain town granite dirt/gravel, so at least they stayed on top. I did lose a 90° zerk by the trailer bank.

    Bob I have plenty of motivation for an hour or so. I don’t know what I am going to do when I get back in the rat race of 8-9 hours a day. My 4 AM automatic wake up has gradually moved to 7:30 or 8:00. That first 0400 wake up make be rough.
