MONDAY TOGETHER WITH YOU

Good morning Wilmington!

I stopped by the Fall Homestead Conference in Rocky Pointe. The Out of Square Homestead holds this event twice a year to help build a community of self-reliance. It was here that I met Ross and Marta DeMay of Live Edge Lumber. They actually brought along their own portable lumber mill! Live Edge Lumber offers custom lumber slabs, grapple dump truck services and log pickup. Ross and Marta can be reached at 910-663-5152

Beautiful weather today but a cold front will bring colder weather for the rest of the week.

Tomorrow Donald Trump will be launching a cryptocurrency called World Liberty Financial. This is a big deal for cryptocurrencies. You can listen to a twitter space session about World Liberty Financial featuring Eric Trump. Needless to say, this is very bullish for cryptocurrencies.
