I might have to consider locking my equipment up...the chipper is in a shed (which can be locked, but the loader bucket and pallets forks are on pallets outside..as is the flail mower, come to think of it

update on the car carrier still on fire.
Looks like there may have been a lot of VW ID4 EVs on board. Audi also has luxury EVs and I'm guessing this was a Porsche Audi VW transporter and since they
also own Bentley, probably why those gorgeous cars were on board. All that work wasted.
Burning anything is not good for you but burning battery fumes have got to be deadly.

I have looked seriously at an ID4. Not going to do long drives any more. Will take the train.
If I find a honey I'll go places in an rv. Something big and comfy.

There is a high speed charger at the municipal lot 2000 feet away. Take my Kindle with me and sit.
15 amp service in my garage surely would not be speedy.

not yet.

UPDATE 2/21/22: The Wall Street Journal has spoken with a spokesperson for the salvage crew working on the burning cargo ship, who confirmed that "part of the fire is the batteries [in electric vehicles on board] that are still burning." The paper said that according to Portuguese navy officials and salvage workers who have seen a cargo manifest, "it is clear that many of the cars on board are electric vehicles." The fire, which started on Wednesday, has continued to burn into the weekend

Boy! That's going to be one serious insurance claim!!

Don’t forget Drew the price of fuel will soar while the stock market crashes and burns. Churches need to invest their money where it will do the most good to insure the church grows. Placing limitations on where it can go may make one group happy another group upset. Sounds almost totalitarian is that where one wants to go.

Wifes head and leg very sore and I am worried for lots of reasons

Finished tar and gravel job yesterday that’s it till mid March weather will not cooperate and asphalt plants have not opened ye.

I believe RNG will see $8.00 plus fuel in the coming months and we will follow

prayers for all our country

Alien, it’s been almost five weeks and my ribs are not completely healed. Much better though.

I cracked a rib years ago when I thought I could do anything and tried to learn snow boarding.

Caught the front edge and face planted hard!!!! I actually bounced.. Drove my elbow into my rib cracking it.

Just as I would start to feel better, I would over do it and feel a "Pop!!" Followed by excruciating pain. And then have to start all over.

I had to force myself to take it easy for about 6 weeks after I felt better in order to make sure I didn't re-injure it again.

Normal everyday tasks, were fine. But I had to avoid any hard wrenching, over exertion, heavy lifting.....

Boy! That's going to be one serious insurance claim!!

first estimate was $500M on cargo and $50M on ship. Everyone is talking total loss, particularly since fire isn't out yet
will drive up transportation costs even more as rates may increase. Already having issues in many areas of the world.

Buppies, there is no upset here at all and never has been. Our investment accounts were up 30% last year.
Most funds are invested in a Quaker banking/financial organization called Friends Fiduciary in Philadelphia. It has unique
capabilities including guaranteed investment returns. Most of the local Meetings invest their money there, because the folks are trustworthy
for sure but all of the investments are strictly screened for armaments and military. Just like they are for the Amish and Mennonites.
That was the beginning. Now their whole portfolio
is limited by a variety of social concerns. Just part of putting our money where our mouth is.

I am very happy with 30 percent. And we all know it is not sustainable. All I can say is there is plenty of investment profit to be made in green
investments. Like everything, you have to be very careful. Thankfully I'm professionally trained in this, or was. I may be getting rusty but the basics of
investing and things like 60/40 allocations haven't changed. So...being ecological is part of our faith. Instead I'm being cheered on. It's all good.

I'm all for free choice anyway.
And RNG, I personally own some copper mining stock for a US based operation (FCX) that I think provides a critical need to our economy.
Absolutely not green. So individually we can do whatever our common sense tell us to.
In less than a year I'm up 20 percent on that stock. I rarely buy stock but with all the rare earth and metal shortages now, sure seems like a growth sector.

cracked ribs sound like bad news, thankful never happened to me. Must be hard to get comfortable while sleeping. Hope all heal quickly.

Happy to hear that Drew

The majority of our holdings are in a conservative fund tripled itself in twenty years very satisfied

lots of way to skin a cat
One always has to look at performance vs certain major indexes, like the S&P.
Then to some degree you can calculate the cost of your convictions if you restrict too much,
or perhaps smile at your gains if you happened to pick the gainers correctly.
Different ponds to fish in, all looking for the big fish
