We have now built three houses, and remodeled two.

This last one about killed me.  Not so much fighting, although we had some of that, but between the HUGE price increases and horrible supply chain issues it was awful. 

One example.  We ordered our appliances (and paid for them) six months before we needed them.  They barely showed up in time.  In the house a month and the refrigerator dies.  Three service calls from a horrible company and they finally admit it can’t be repaired.  GE says fine we will replace, but it will be March sometime before we can get you a new unit.  Here is $175 to buy a dorm fridge until then

I'm in Anchorage this week to do some training.  It was recommended that I go to Mooses Tooth for pizza and beer.  It was excellent!

Bongino is off this week as is everyone. I listened to the guy sitting in the Clay & Buck.

He interviewed a female pilot with United or American, can't remember which, who has been furloughed for failing to get vaccinated.  She said that her airline is flying over 300+ cabin attendants from Europe to replace furloughed attendants who refuse the vaccine. The thing is these attendants are not vaccinated and do not have a mandate in Europe. They fly them over work them on routes in the U.S. and then fly them back.

I have no way to verify this, so it could all be B.S.

Michael Berry.  I listen to his show a lot and really like him.  He does a lot for PTSD Veterans out of Houston.

Heard that today from the United Captain.  If that is true they are going to get huge money off of the lawsuit eventually.

My nephew is a West Point Graduate.  I went to the Army-Navy game three years in a row when he was a cadet.  Unfortunately Army lost all three games, and the weather was awful, and the game wasn’t that good.

It was, however and absolutely incredible experience.  Watching the cadet and midshipman march out before the game, the fly overs, the commitment of everyone of them was just amazing.  HIGHLY recommend going at least once!

Went to two in Philly and one in Baltimore.  Both did a nice job, but Philly really does a great job.  That town loves the game and treated us really well both times we went.

Congrats to you and your great kid! If you haven't, one thing I always tell graduating college kids as they get their 1st job is to immediately sign up for the company 401k, and put in 10% to start. Then, every raise, split that raise with you and your 401k. Get a 4% raise? Up the 401k to 12%, and enjoy the other 2%. Do this every raise, and you will retire well (or even early) without too much pain.

Absolutely.  We have already had that conversation.  Actually we might have done too good of a job.  When she was a freshman in college she was struggling a bit with the adjustment.   She called me at 5:00 am one morning in a panic because she didn't have a 401K setup yet.....

That's pretty good!

Still waiting to see any (real) evidence that masks, as they are worn by the public, do any good.
