    Pay off mortgage or make monthly payments and invest the rest?

    That’s how I’m rolling. Although my mortgage rate is 3.45, I’m still making money on Tbills and notes that pay a higher rate. Not to mention, the interest expense on the mortgage is still tax deductible.

    Pay off mortgage or make monthly payments and invest the rest?

    As long as T bills and notes are paying me higher interest rate than I'm paying on my mortgage, I can’t justify throwing money away by paying off a lower rate mortgage.

    Current Diesels in SRW 1 tons, is one better than the other?

    Been happy with my ‘23 GMC AT4 3500 diesel. Had a GMC 2500 before that. One day this guy walked over to me and asked how I liked it. His parting words were, “you know what they say, workers drive Chevys, but the boss drives a GMC”

    Does anyone shop at Cabela's anymore? I don't anymore........selection

    When there were only 2 Cabela’s in the country(Kearney and Sydney), the Sydney store was like a destination event. Too bad what happened after Bass Pro. All my shopping now is at Scheel’s and using my free gift cards as rewards from my credit card.

    Do fish and game laws supersede constitutional rights?

    We need more states to make it illegal for the possum cops to roam around on private property, just because they want to. And then, they don’t even comply with the state’s body cam/ FOIA policy. I’ve got trail cam shots of possum cops walking through my woods with thier hand on the body cam...

    What game bird do you hate/depise the most?

    I’d say since there is a season on them, the Feds consider them a game bird. Don’t understand why they get protection. All they’re good for is to rob cornfields, ruin predator calling setup by flying in and drowning out calls, destroy and kill turkey and duck nests, and thier young.

    Is Kifaru moving manufacturing overseas?

    I just go to Scheels to cash in my free gift cards, earned from using my Scheels credit card, on great merchandise. I certainly don’t ask for advice or rumors. As for Kifaru, Patrick Smith has been gone awhile.

    Opinions/Experience of Elk Arrow Weight

    Sure. I had rotator cuff surgery 20 or so years ago. In 2019, I wanted a new bow, so I went to the pro shop and tried to pull a new Hoyt, and a new Mathews, and neither felt good on my shoulder. Then tried the Bowtech Realm SR6, and no issue at all. All 60#. Bought the Bowtech.

    Opinions/Experience of Elk Arrow Weight

    There are a lot of things out there to read, watch, ot listen to, that muddy the waters. I listen to my shoulder talking. I passed on 2 or 3 popular brand, 60# bows, before I found one that didn’t hurt my shoulder, when drawing. My arrow total weight is 424, with 100 gr broadhead, and gets...

    Timber Production Executive Order

    I’ve lived in areas in the Pacific NW, where most of the forest are federal lands, and I’ve lived in the South, where most of the forest lands are private. I know that Southern Yellow Pine timber used to bring a lot more money than it does now. But one thing with the industry is similar to...
