Well, we sold most of our ranch. We both loved raising calves. Wife is at the ranch supervising movers. I'm at the acreage preppin. Today I turned melancholy. Listened to some Pink Floyd. They ALWAYS knew the answer. Sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older........

Interesting dynamic developing in the pipelines to costal waters arena. Carney has been promising the world to Alberta, all the while expecting BC to do the political heavy lifting regarding blocking development. Now, all he's got left are Hereditary Chiefs for hire........

I took profits in Uranium in 2024 & switched to Crypto. I took Crypto profits last fall & bought back into Uranium. Depending on the day, $CCJ & $UROY are neck & neck as my most profitable gainer so far. REALLY looking forward to UROY Q'ly report #'s tomorrow.........

I'm gonna go UROY to CCO this week. Get the US to CDN currency conversion fees out of the way is the main motivator. Also, I think CCO is gonna rip our faces off PDQ. The $35 floor contracts are finally beginning to expire this quarter. Westinghouse is not yet fully priced in....

The 🌍 is predicting a Dot Com crash in AI. The market in that era: Microsoft Cisco Intel Dell Oracle Nortel Yahoo Amazon AOL Nortel, Yahoo, AOL & Dell are 🙃. The rest are still a big deal. AI won't crash & die but it will cool off. What's the next run? POWER. That = Uranium!!

This guy wants to rent my land. He's so far ahead on 1950's practices, the 87 year old's that still haven't turned over the farm to their 66 year old sons don't even know what he's talkin about. -Uses green fertilizer -Saves fuel cause the combine does the seeding Ditch ape....

Sometimes, it takes centuries to realize we already knew the answer, we just couldn't play the game yet........

I'm starting to think Carney isn't in a trade war with the US. He's actually trying to crash the US economy. The trade war drama is "the show." Carney's trip to EU seems a bit odd. I'd love to see if he meets with anyone from Belgium or Luxemburg. US Bond sales may begin soon....

About 2/3 of the gold purchased by all Governments and/or Central Banks on the planet in the last 10 years have gone to.......... China Russia

I seriously doubt that Canada is colluding with Russia on anything, as Canada has decided bankrolling the Ukraine in the current war is their NATO 2% contribution. But China? Just how did Carney mysteriously become the parachute Prime Minister of Canada anyways?..........

I don't like Carney, but I get what he's up to. He got Trump to brag and strut a bit, then did the massive rug pull. Trump forgot the Mid Terms were in days, but Carney didn't. Sleepy Joe is of no use, but Obama will take it from here. Film at 11.........

Sooooo, if you are one that likes to think ahead in decades, I have a thought experiment for you. It appears the US has set in motion the inevitable development of adjacent countries collecting fees for passage of shipping traffic (Hormuz). HUGE future ramifications in the North.

Whenever you are on a road trip in Alberta or Saskatchewan, you absolutely can’t go wrong driving into a small town and cruising the main drag till you find the restaurant with the most vehicles in the parking lot. Top notch food every time……

Case in point for buying nearly new vs new. Our tractor is a 2015 model, always kept in a Quonset and rarely used at all. It has 176 hours on it. We paid well under half of what a new one would cost.........
