I use one of the online sites to aggregate. I wanted to get deep into retirement planning in my 30s. I found I couldn’t begin to estimate the income I needed in retirement if I didn’t really know how much I spent today. Tracking expenses closely lets me know what I spend that’s likely to persist into retirement in order to give me confidence I’m saving enough AND that I can afford to make some discretionary purchases along the way.

It’s not precise enough for tracking a 10-ft swath, in my experience.
I have a tree farm. Can’t recommend it, though.
I’d pay good money to eradicate them forever.

I wouldn’t worry about the CH as long as it’s not so high that the water is cloudy.
Don’t feed the troll!
re: Exiting real estate/rentals. What to do?

Feel free to ignore this if it’s too personal. But as someone that’s been interested in the rental market but has never taken the leap… and thinks now is an especially bad time to start… what is the time frame on which you’ve owned them and what do you think your all-in annualized return will be upon sale?

When you were published, did you do your own lit search? Im joking.
Your questions are fair. Im usually a skeptic, but I’m also of the opinion that the modern deer hunter lacks foresight as bad as any demographic in our society. The CWD ‘measures’ that impact me seem like common sense. I’ve heard enough from people I trust to believe there is a reasonable consensus on this. You may think that’s naive.
With that said, ChatGPT gave me a pretty lengthy list. I don’t intend to debate their merits or demerits. After a few iterations to condense…
• Miller & Williams (2003/2004)
• Williams et al. (2002)
• Haley & Hoover (2015)
• Edmunds et al. (2016)
• DeVivo et al. (2017)

It’s 100% fatal within about 2 years and some hot zones have over 50% prevalence. I don’t need to know much else to believe its potential is concerning.
The reason agencies often promote killing lots of deer when it’s detected is an attempt to slow its spread. No idea if that’s the right approach. Seems logical. I think it’s too early to tell how effective that is compared to other strategies.

Decimated? Maybe not. I don’t think that’s the correct concern to have, though.
CWD prevalence rates high enough that the chances of hunting a trophy buck are zero? Absolutely.
Rates high enough to make eating deer meat a gamble? Definitely.
Armageddon is not the absence of deer. It’s merely the absence of widely appealing deer HUNTING.

For instance there was a deer farm that had a deer test positive for CWD. The entire herd was killed. The other deer IN A DEER FARM SETTING that had lived side by side with this infected deer all were killed and all were found to not come back with a positive test for CWD.
Got a link?
NW Ark is eaten up with it. That’s pretty South.

Well, it’s a tough one. A man should be able to exercise his rights on his own property. When the existence/health wildlife held in public trust are at risk, though….

Positive effect compared to what? Can you point to an agency that has done “good?”
No one knows what success looks like in the world with CWD. NW AR shows us what failure looks like… what too little and too late looks like. We’re not there yet. That seems good and positive.

re: Pull behind sprayers for lawnmower
Posted by turkish on 3/31/26 at 12:00 pm to Stellytiger
I have a 30-gal pull behind that’s old and has been rebuilt and customized with a diy 10-ft boom. You are really going to need at least a 4gpm pump to achieve the pressure your nozzles need. I’d recommend having that criterion as a must-have. I also found that the boom was often mounted too low to achieve the right pattern/distribution.

Which is less than the water that was previously used for irrigation on the same farm land.
Great point! The cynic in me wants to say “two wrongs don’t make a right,” but I’ll keep it to myself. :)
This is helpful information. I predict that XOM BR will be pushed out of the groundwater business in my lifetime, as a neighbor in the general BR area. I’m concerned at the thought a modern data center could use a similar amount of water.
I genuinely want to learn more. The only “no big deal” comments I’ve seen are referencing closed loop systems. That’s not all that meaningful as it pertains to water consumption.
Are they rejecting heat to air, using fans? I’d heard that was less popular due to noise.

I think even some of them don’t understand all that is meant (and not meant) by “closed loop.”

We can agree on the principle. It’s harder to get people to agree on how much MORE one is willing to pay for products manufactured with this more environmentally responsible kit.
And I agree with you on all this; I’m just reminding that, at the end of the day, it comes back to the pocketbooks of either the consumer or the taxpayer. And many of us are both.

This doesn’t mean that their water use is nil. What is actually being used to reject the heat to? Air?
Can you give some more info? I would genuinely like to be more educated on this topic.
