    Is the 2024 Beef Shortage a real thing?

    Yes, a coming beef shortage will have (possibly drastic) effects on pricing in the near future. Midwest feedlot buyers are already placing orders at livestock auctions nationwide to fill local voids, driving up yearling prices. That’s just the beginning. For those who like to research, hit the...

    Where are you finding used auto parts since Craigslist sucks?

    I've done a decent job at keeping my 95 F350 alive using used bits and pieces as I need them. Creeping up on 400k miles, things just wear out. Currently need a nice tailgate and a bunch of pimp red interior pieces since drywall screws are holding everything together. Craigslist was good to me...

    Parker Enduro, where's the best place to watch?

    I'm taking my dad for a couple hours this Saturday. He's not real mobile, on oxygen as well. It's been 20 years since I've been and have no idea where to go without having him walk forever. This is likely the last time he'll see boat races on the strip so I want him to have a decent view. Any...

    What would a modern world war look like in the US?

    Very recent events might leave people with a feeling that another world war is a possibility. What does that look like here in the States? If entire casinos can be shut down remotely for money, is it safe to think that inflicting pain and destabilizing entire regions can be accomplished through...

    My twenty-somethings kids are just, different. Anyone else noticing this?

    I can’t say it’s good or bad- it’s just different. When I was 27 I was married with two kids, was on my second home, and almost a decade into my chosen career path. Sixty-hour work weeks followed by boat and hot rod projects and planning the next house upgrade seemed normal. I have two kids in...

    John Boos high end walnut butcher block for sale, earn BIG points with the wife.

    24x18x10" and weighs 130lbs, this thing is a generational piece that will outlast several families. Never been cut on, shows as new. I really wanted this to fit our life but for our tiny kitchen, it's just too big. It really deserves to be in a Riviera type kitchen, overlooking the lake. Selling...

    Travel agent/vacation planning advice needed

    I want to take Amy somewhere warm and tropical for Christmas. We'd be happy to go snorkeling, have cocktails and a nap- rinse and repeat. Some place not overrun with kids preferably. Carribean? We've never had a vacation before, so I know less than zero about traveling if I'm not driving us...

    Question for/about truckers.

    When did things change? I spent 25 years on the road in medium duty trucks, logging hundreds and hundreds of thousands of miles and still spend quite a bit of time on the Interstates hauling steers, feed or finished beef. There is a HUGE difference between truckers today and truckers of...

    BMX racing in her 50's, Amy's either the coolest wife ever or just crazy

    Short version: Trying to stay busy during the longest winter ever, we hit the Kingman BMX track with burritos in hand to watch Saturday racing. "Looks fun, any women's classes that I can try?" Amy had never been to a race and the last time I pushed up against a starting gate was in 1983...

    What does life look like 100 years from now?

    Interesting conversation with a very accomplished customer has sparked a curiosity. What does life look like 100 years from now? Are we building communities in space? Are we done with fossil fuels? Have we figured out looming water shortages? Do Lynch's great grandsons finally put the Schiada...
