The first real day of work on the farm

This morning six lorries left loaded with fruits and vegetables, and two of meat.  Aside from David, everyone is back in the saddle.  Jennifer borrowed a mechanic from the Case maintenance garage until David is back in the saddle.  We were always planning to have a few Case guys in our maintenance shop because some repairs have to be done by Case-certified technicians.  It would be nice to be able to repair everything ourselves, in reality, David is already overworked (hence the accident before Christmas).  Case took away the PTO transmission that David removed and will fix it at their facility.  They were seriously concerned that so many bolts had seized, this should not have happened, two Case technicians checked our other 7220 tractor (same make and year from Case), and their bolts were also seized.  Jennifer told me that it took them three hours to remove the bolts on the other tractor, they replaced them and took the old bolts away to be analyzed.

We checked all our refrigeration and freezer units, and we agreed that we would build another two freezers in the warehouse.  We are running out of space, despite the wholesalers taking two loads of meat this morning.  I will have to talk to our neighbours about then removing their meat stock from our storage, that's not something Jennifer can do yet, since she's not been introduced yet.  One big advantage is that Jennifer is a local, but she's not yet considered "management".  

Aside from that my wife and I were contemplating how quiet the house was last night.  Now that everyone has gone home.  My wife is extraordinary, we know a few owners of local stately homes, and my wife made some discrete calls yesterday, when I came home at lunch today my office was furnished.  She found the perfect rugs, two chairs and a sofa, no lamps, aside from a desk lamp we had lying about.  She told me that my new computer would be delivered today or tomorrow, she talked to Jennifer who gave her the make and model in the office and ordered the same.

The sofa, chairs and rugs are on loan until we can find something fom local auction houses.  As my wife said, she had located everything she needed in 20 minutes, and two of our farm hands took our lorry out to gather the furniture and set it up a surprise.

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
