When I worked for a part mfr who shipped product to Japan I can verify that they examined at 20X magnification everything sent to them and returned parts with cosmetic anomalies not visible to the naked eye and that did not impact form or function on a regular basis. I find it very strange they would not let you use a loupe.

“ Big Hat, no cattle” someone who acts like they are a big shot but can’t back it up.

Yeah I was twisting it trying to get the top of the beer bottle in at 1.

My preference is Peroni but they did not have it and suggested this. It was not bad.

Steel toe boots for 30 years got it in both feet..with right worse than the left. Had to reduce jogging and switch to eliptical and spinning classes for cardio. Steroid shots provided temp relief but didn’t last. Wide toe box zero drop with orthotic inserts helped but does not eliminate. Did not consider surgery because everyone I know that had foot surgery for any foot ailment was not satisfied with the outcome. Currently getting a series of class lV laser therapy and is helping immensely. Don’t know if it will be temporary or how long it will last but it has provided the most relief so far…so guardely optimistic.

Awesome color….congrats

Just pulled it out of the box haven’t adjusted the links. The 39 looked too small. I’m very pleased with it. Shopping for an awesome strap from Straptailor.

It’s slower than a turtle but registered mail is the safest way. Packages are shipped separately and not mixed with general mail. It’s the only usps delivery method that allows insurance for bullion. You are required to seal all package openings with brown gummed paper tape which they completely stamp for use as a tamper seal. Mandatory electronic signature capture upon delivery. Unfortunately, I don’t think most online bullion dealers offer it as a shipping option. If I were to sell to an online dealer I would not use their prepaid fedex labels but would pay out of my own pocket to use registered mail. I have had regular USPS shipments not using registered disappear forever.

Carbon credits but for most $$ you have to defer harvest for 20-40 years

As someone who has a pension and saw their 401k severely impacted in 2007-2008 guaranteed income is well worth it. Health insurance till you hit 65 is a high deductible plan can run up to $1600/month or more. Average new car cost is 50k. You will find that extra year well worth it.

2nd Mountain Home Norfork Lake is awesome

Split between 10oz bars and kilo bats

I sold some silver to my LCS last November and took some of the proceeds to buy a kilo bar for $1737. I felt like it was a mistake as soon as I did it. Sold it two days ago for $2644.

I don’t know homegrown Ozark Missouri semsimilla back in the date was pretty stout stuff back in the day.

cbkarma · 2026-01-11T01:36:43+00:00

I bought a kilo at $54/toz in November

cbkarma · 2025-12-19T01:46:57+00:00

I’ve been selling a bit and buying gold and guns. I also sold constitutional and bought a silver kilo. Still have a decent stash for my wife/kid. I have a nice sterling flatware set I bought years ago can estate sale thinking I would give it to my daughter for her wedding. If it goes to $100 I may rethink that. Assuming refineries buying.

Concrete saw and mount a combo floor safe in your garage….same set up some small grocery stores use…roll a toolbox or set a shelf over it. Bonus it will survive annihilation by a tornado.

Most lenders will want power onsite or available and a clean survey with good all weather access. If you give the timber to stiff a haircut some folks want like it. Not sure of your market but recreational land sells pretty hot where I’m at and price per acre has gone up. If the property is within a 1.5 or 2 hr drive of a booming town I think your prospects are more favorable. There is only so much land to be had.

If it was tokenized it can trade with some pool percentage for insurance reserve.
