## Resource

Episode 871 kicks off with a cabin build update after a weekend of bad weather, mud, and making progress anyway — plus the reality of juggling two-person build tasks when life and work schedules get in the way. Then we get into a local small-town story: a gas station attempted break-in that blew up across every Facebook group in the region… and ended with three suspects apprehended — all minors . The wild part? One of them showed up with a rifle. From there, Minnesota keeps doing Minnesota: protests, outrage cycles, and people watching the same footage and somehow arriving at completely opposite “truths.” We also hit Bitcoin price action, the weekly guessing game, silver going on a tear, and the ongoing propane regulator saga that should’ve been a simple fix… but isn’t.
