Good Morning CGs!

Happy Friday to everyone. Weather dropped somewhat drastically today. Was in the 80s in the beginning of the week. About 55 now with a high of 60, it will be cooler over the weekend.

Today is RR#2's bday, officially a teenager if the attitude wasn't already a sign. We gave him his big gift last night, a 3D printer he's wanted for a while. He was excited. Party this weekend.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Goomornin everyone. Last month I decided to jump back into the stock market with what I thought would be safe investments. Had the money I took out of the stock market sitting idle. Some stocks had dropped to what I thought would be good purchase points leaving some room for growth. Invested in energy stocks , hydrogen, (a speculated green fuel), and some metal mining companies. All should have been stable I thought but the market lowered the boom. Lost a good chunk of change last week but they say it isn't lost unlessd you sell. So, looks like I'll put the blinders on and have to go long on that investment choice. As I've mentioned before I only have a small portion invested in the stock market. I've been on that roller coaster before and ran for cover in 2012 after regaining previous losses to a positive position. I actually didn't lose any money over the past 5 years. Just all the gains I made evaporated in the course of a week or two. But in reality my problems are nil. There are big investors that must be looking at an accomodating ledge right about now.

Cool!

The ladder in the back of the pickup reminds me of some recent facebook posts I've seen.

MADE A POST EARLIER---MUST HAVE EVAPORATED :-O

We don't have much in anymore either...started taking it out before the bidenomics got ahold of us.... was flying high in the Trump years.... but it's not about the citizens doing well it about the government making out like a bandit....gotta pay for all dat green stuff they think we need....

The Climate change hoax is one of the biggest scams ever come up with..... didn't Al Gore start that rumor?

we went with Gold and Silver..... and lead.....

do some dancing around today Guru's.....

Tommy, most of my investments are still recovering from the covid market bitch slap. A few more years and they should be back to normal. I talked to the vice president of one of the investment funds I'm in a while back and he basically said no need to worry because historically the market always recovers. So that's what I'm going on.

The problem today is the lying bastards that promote different stocks with supposed investment potential even when they're overvalued. Big investors manipulate a stock back and forth with day trading. You really have to be investment educated to play the game today, or be a gambler. I'll let you guess which one I am. But even the big players get scorched. Cash is king but you can't keep up with inflation. Just make sure you save up enough cash. Cash to burn so to speak.

It's been hot here! 90 or so. stuffy as hell!

otherwise, just chugging along and not doing anything stupid with ladders!

That was not even close to stupid...the ladder was better secured there in the back of the pickup than trying to get one to set firmly on that unleveled ground.

Finished up the decking before noon Friday, headed over to the 'city' to pick up the metal and brought it home and put it in the storage garage before going to the football game.
