On the bright side… You could be hodl’ing Luna. What would that look like?
Been a while but back doing a pulled pork on the pellet smoker!
Life goes by fast and just keeps speeding up as time goes by.
It’s worth slowing down sometimes. That’s why I really enjoy #bbq. It forces you to shift down and go low and slow, at least for a little while.
The results are worth it and the memories shared with loved ones are ones you’ll likely cherish.
It’s the simple things.

Was able to catch the #spacex launch.
Shamefully thought it was a meteor/asteroid/comet before realizing it was just #Falcon9.

Nice! Looking forward to it.
Lights flickering? 6 things to look for:
– Are light bulbs dimmable?
– Dimmer is compatible with light bulb?
– Dimmer is compatible with driver/transformer?
– Is the dimmer minimum load met?
– Transformers/drivers over or under loaded?
– Any potential harmonic distortion?

The question for those that come to this realization is: What do I save or invest in?
There’s only a few choices that meet or beat inflation. I think you hit on the better option.
To be fair, real estate purchased at a discount and used for cash flow can be a good investment since you can use heavy leverage (OPM) and take advantage of the depreciation. Key is buying below value and that’s just very difficult to find unless you find a sucker willing to to sell (think of those “we buy ugly houses” folks) or you’re in the industry and people call you first with good opportunities.
For most people though, they’ll just go to MLS/zillow and that’s just difficult to compete in and returns will likely not beat even S&P 500.
Unpopular opinion: Real estate isn’t a good investment.
Most people buy real estate to buy the home they live in, not to use as a rental property for cash flow.
Buying a home can cost you hundreds of thousands, or even millions, over the long term.
Even with a low fixed interest rate, ever increasing property taxes and insurance rates, home improvements, maintenance and repairs will negate most equity growth over time.
Renting might be a better option for most and you are not locked in if you decide to move on to a different part of town or get a job in a different state. Plus, the property headaches belong to the landlord or property manager which are just a phone call away.
Of course, there are exceptions but in general, I believe the above to be true for most.

Courage — most people lack it.
Embrace the struggle journey. It’s easy to give up but those that keep pushing forward are rewarded in countless ways.
Continue to innovate, inspire, and make a lasting impact.

Museum lighting is poorly designed in many cases.
Proper lighting must protect and present art impeccably.
Blend natural light with color-tunable LEDs and smart sensors for perfect ambiance. The right light matters for masterpieces.

I don’t understand why people like roasts.
Why humiliate and then celebrate those you wish to honor?
It’s a ritual I don’t understand and wouldn’t want to participate in.
