We got the camper all winterized on Saturday. Not much else going on. Happy Columbus Day. I still have to work. Word of the Day Monday, October 14, 2013 solipsism\ SOL-ip-siz-uhm \, noun; 1. Philosophy. the theory that only the self exists, or can be proved to exist. 2. extreme preoccupation with and indulgence of one's feelings, desires, etc.; egoistic self-absorption. Origin: Solipsism entered English in the late 1800s from the Latin solus + ipse literally meaning "alone" + "self." This is how America got it's name.

I'll have to go stock up on Sta-bil and oil change items, as it's time to put the Vette away later this week. We got most of the rest of our outdoor stuff packed away yesterday, too. I suppose I'll be prepping the snowblower soon as well. The party's over :-P Keep warm, Gurus!

The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August and February." - Mark Twain LOL. A couple of years ago after partially recovering from the free fall of the stock market and because of my age, I moved all my shares of an S&P indexed fund to safety. It was when the Dow got back to 12,000 from the lows of less than 8,000. You see, I looked for indicators of a recovering economy and found few. Next thing you know, everything takes off like gangbusters. I'll never understand investment. The Bear and Bull markets defy logic. The good thing is I got a healthy return on my original investment. Had I stayed put I'd have doubled my original investment. Had I bailed at the low I would have broke even and possibly lost money. When I see where the markets are now, I'd like to have a little whine with my cheese. Be that as it may, I don't know how the hell it got there. I developed a very special skill before I started investing. I was able to pick a stock, watch it rise to impressive levels, then crash and burn before my very eyes. I was adept at picking long term losers. That's why later I let the S&P 500 companies run with my investment dollars. Averaging, for me, was the way to go. And I still screwed it up.

Your syndrome may be terminal. Your "stay busy" is work oriented, when work is over for the day.......................... Yet, you still have to post a picture of your S & S place and deck chairs, get it? Though here, deck chairs always generate more posts that anything Corvettes do. Rev. Stig

Guru Emeritus Apple Valley, MN 14762 Posts Member since: 2007/12/29 0:00	I just realized something... It just hit me! My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him. His meals are provided at no cost to him. He visits the doctor once a year for his checkup and again during the year, if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him. He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free. He is living like a king and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All of his costs are picked up by others who earn a living. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks... My dog is a CONGRESSMAN!!!!

I think I'd go for a 2014 with lots of bells and whistles or 5 classics in the 10 to 20k range. You know I prefer more over new. Though what I have doesn't see enough road time as it is. Where do I go, downtown Homestead?

Principal has a presentation and wants me there to add to it. I've got a sample all set up to run for them during their break. Can't see them not doing this.

They asked me a few questions and voted 5-0 to purchase the router. At break time I invited them all to the shop to see the new purchase and I put on a demonstration for them running a file I developed over the weekend.

Either them personally or through the businesses they work for. I really never thought that it wouldn't go through, but there is always a chance. The biggest part is the support from the administration.
