Overwelmed by the farm

Trying a clickbait title.  Saturday evening and the farm is quiet.  Nothing happened today.  It stopped raining a few days ago, not a single drop for three days, and it looks like we will be fine until Thursday.  Everyone is happy about that.

Our eldest Daughter, her fiance and OUR granddaughter are up for the weekend.  My wife is over the moon to have her little helper with her all weekend.  I spent about an hour with her "parents" looking at their new quarters and things are moving quickly now,  All the rooms have electricity, and rough-in has been completed for the plumbing.  The painters are prepping the wall.  One issue is that the space is very dark, a week ago a cabinet market took all the windows and inner doors for repair and upgrade.  The window's oak frames need some love and care, and the glass is being replaced by triple-thickness glass, which will keep the cold and the heat out.  As for the doors, they need restoration and the removal of probably 10 layers of paint.  On Friday, the painters will start painting the walls.  The final inspection will happen in two weeks and the place will be ready for the finishing touches.  Initially, we thought we would have problems getting heating pipes and electricity into the apartment, but we were lucky an unused gap allowed all the plumbing and electricity to be brought up from the basement.  We were incredibly lucky to have all the trades available through January and February.  Now that things are getting better in the county, electricians, masons and plumbers will have other sites to cover,

My wife is desolate right now, because her best friend in the world, fell asleep at the table, it seems that an entire day with Grandma was a little too much for our little pumpkin.  

What's next, I don't know and I don't care everything is just fine right now

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...
