We finished building the deck! Monte also built a picnic table from red wood as any other type of wood just dries out and warps like crazy out here.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

My gardening is keeping me grounded. All of this has been brought in and taken out each PM+AM. Most got their starts as seedlings in s facing windows. All watered with rain catchment. Looking forward to getting stuff in the raised beds in bit.
I'm learning a ton in the Master Gardener course!

A much needed overnight bikepacking trip from the house. I traveled through Pueblo lands on publicly accessible roads to access some BLM land to spend the night before riding through Madrid for a second breakfast and then enjoying the much rougher roads on the last stretch to home.

It only took her a year to destroy the inner part of her @kongcompany Frisbee. We tore it out and she's in heaven now since she can wear it on her head.

Folks, I know it’s hard to keep up with all the hubbub about POTUS and his executive orders/legislation.
