Summary: TweetNote – I am running a rewind today for a few reasons. One is that the new ducks are coming in either tomorrow or Thursday and I need to get everything ready. Additionally I have to go out to Granburry to buy some stock tanks to plumb into our aquaponics system this weekend. Normally this is a much shorter trip but someone out there bought all the 100 gallon tanks at my Tractor Supply, and you know who you are LOL. I also need to get all the new stands built for that system this week and need some more lumber to get that done. Lastly my voice is a wreck from this current cold or flu or whatever it is, I barely got though yesterdays show, so it seems like a good day to rest my vocal cords and get shit done! Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally, Episode-845- Ben Franklin on Modern Survivalism and originally aired on Feb 22, 2012. The notes below are the original notes from that episode. Reat Franlin’s 8 Tenets at TheArtOfManliness.com Recently I get a ton of emails on an article called. 8 Personal Finance Lessons from Benjamin Franklin that was published on the very cool blog, The Art of Manliness. Several dozen of you told me that this article sounded like 8 things I say often on TSP. So rather than read the article at all I decided to do the show based just on the 8 tenets of Franklin and see how much in sync we really are or are not. One thing for sure old Ben’s advice seems quite timeless to me.
