I really appreciated this post, as it was an interesting update on a variety of topics. I am glad to see the bitcoin price is back up, hopefully the momentum upward can continue, not holding my breath though. I hope what you were told about the government bonds going up is true, as I have been holding a bunch for awhile now, and they have been doing very poorly for years.

I am surprised the lumber is so expensive. Is it imported from Canada? There should be plenty of lumber available domestically, it is strange it is so expensive now.

Thank you for sharing.
