Although we had been pulling for a rally to appear Friday, markets sank and with it, odds of semi-global war in coming weeks and months increases. Except, few media are yet differentiating the role of digital partisans in what could be a “‘world-redefining change period.”
The pending Euro War, pressures on Taiwan, and of course the ongoing dance around the Leviathan oil and gas field off Syria all figure. But we have concerns about the future health of the Internet. Think a virus lockdown was bad, try going a few weeks “Transaction-Free.”
Mainly – since it’s Saturday – we will keep it a quick read and mainly the charts.
Yet, these too are important, and we issue first a reminder on market hysteresis…

Showdown time at the OK coral (aka Detroit/Windsor) bridge.
Stay tuned folks.
What’s new? ‘Last I’d heard, Whitmer wanted to bring in bulldozers to clear the bridge. She’s a Governor of a U.S. State and I don’t believe she’s allowed to make a decision regarding international travel or exchange — certainly not allowed to clear the Ontario side of the bridge.
Detroit doesn’t have a place to put a quantity of trucks. The automakers have ECM-less trucks parked damn’ near as far away as Ypsilanti.
I’d simply bring in more trucks…
Well Ray, I have been watching livestream TV from the Detroit/Windsor border and also from Ottawa most of the day. Here is what I have seen.
(1) Early this morning, the truckers were out in Ottawa with brooms and shovels cleaning the streets. A few pickup games of street hockey could be seen. Streets are very clean. The only fires are from Barbeques. No gun shots, no looting, no physical confrontations. Lots of choruses of “O Canada” can be heard.
(2) The Windsor border protestors are being peacefully moved back from the bridge by a very large police presence. So far, they are peacefully moving back as instructed.
(3) Hundreds and hundreds of Canadian flags, a few American flags. No Nazi flags (unless you call F….Trudeau as Nazi flags)
(4) The crowds this weekend are larger than they have been for the past 2 weekends even after threats of fines and jail.
I am sure the left wing media is trying hard to find evidence of insurrection but other than a few flowers and a Canadian flag at the foot of the Terry Fox statue, they are having a tough time. Not anything close to the peaceful BLM protests in America in 2020 when buckets of paint were dumped on statues before they were pulled down with ropes and decapitated.
I think our Prime Minister could have nipped this in the bud many weeks ago. He had a small camp fire that has turned into a raging forest fire with his destructive rhetoric. It is going to be hard to put the fire out. The disdain that many Canadians have for Trudeau is quadruple what Mark told us he had/has for Trump over the past 4 years.
I think the only way this is going to come to a peaceful end is for Trudeau to resign. I doubt that will happen.
“I am sure the left wing media is trying hard to find evidence of insurrection but other than a few flowers and a Canadian flag at the foot of the Terry Fox statue, they are having a tough time. Not anything close to the peaceful BLM protests in America in 2020 when buckets of paint were dumped on statues before they were pulled down with ropes and decapitated.”
Bob… you forgot the peaceful marchers of the BLM and Antifa breaking windows robbing and pillaging raping and fire bombing police and buildings..
from my perspective.. there isn’t any way they could be similar.. they should just thank their lucky stars that the drivers just don’t walk away.. shut down.. take the mandates off on vaxx.. to inject something in your body should be your choice.. not someone elses..
Exactly my point LOOB. It is why our Prime Minister telling us he could support BLM but not the Truckers while calling them fringe Nazis, is counter productive and dangerous. Words mean somerhing just like Hillary calling Trump supporters “a basket of deplorables.” It just inflames the other side and spreads the fire. Why are politicians so stupid?
By the way, glad you are feeling better. You have had a tough slug with the ‘rona. My brother who is double vaccinated and boosted is down with it now and quite sick.
That’s what I’ve seen, and what I’d expect. The Canadian protests are “civil disobedience,” not riots. They’re like the “patriotic” or “conservative” protests and rallies here. They never receive press, because there’s no story when 50k-500k people get together in one spot, don’t break stuff, and actually leave the place cleaner than they found it. There’s also no incentive to cover such a gathering, when it is held by people to whom the press is ideologically opposed.
I’ve seen no NAZI flag or swastika. I saw one Confederate battle flag, the truckers’ first day in Ottawa, being waved by a masked, hooded person dressed all in black [who was] running through the crowd, and who was chased-off or chased down by the cameraman and a dozen of his closest new friends.
“glad you are feeling better. You have had a tough slug with the ‘rona.”
Thanks . . I can tell you it has sucked..I am not a long sleeper but when you lay down and it feels like your drowning really sucks.. all the doctor would say is you have COPD and will have this the rest of your l8fe.. the ginseng is way cheaper than the 600.00 a month inhaler to..I actually slept in this morning lol..
Now I cannot actually say that was it.. but it’s strange that relief started after I started to take it.. I am curious..when they called me to tell me I had more severe lung damage than they previously thought..so what will the x-rays say when they re-check it.. the constant cough I had is almost totally gone to..
Sold me on it lol..
Now the MSM has set a invasion date this coming Wed. how is that for creating a false front for the SHEEPLE to buy into. LOL
Living in a country that takes (forever) to figure out if there was any voter fraud in the election and weather or not January 6th was a riot or insurrection … now thinks they can wrestle a Bear with nukes into submission, scares the hell out of me. – those sheeple will buy into anything.
There are 81 million people who voted for Joe, they might now consider showing some pride in their choice by visiting their local military recruiter and signing up. I mean hell, he did give them a lot of free money.
I agree, let them all sign up for the draft. Come one, come all! Let’s Go Brandon!
I don’t think it makes any difference if they did print up a few hundred …or few million extra votes.. I’m glad we finally had better than one hundred percent voter turn out for the election.. for decades they would moan and groan about only 30 something turn out..
As bad as it’s been and the extra trillions printed..( I’d still like to know who got it all lol. Without any countability on where it went it’s baffling..) I went overdraft on the checkbook..but sir I still have a thousand checks left.. since illegals were being snuck in during the cloak of darkness and his original plan of giving each a half mil.. did they?
Even if they did.. destroying the fiat dollar and the federal reserves superiority. Now how will that play out..the owners of that bank are not the kind of people that likes to loose ..
“Now the MSM has set a invasion date this coming Wed.”
I wonder who called them to inform them..
So far all I have heard is back away from our borders with your forces.. seriously how hard would it be to just make sure they know that the Ukraine will never be allowed to join NATO.. It ends up to always be a follow the money.. Seriously who is making out on this.. and why would that be important if anything you are given is gone in the event of a war.

“global Internet debacle, it will likely come to pass that goods in hand will hold more value than goods in a warehouse.”
In the past I mentioned buying all the canned beef/pork @ WMT.
That night I didn’t even pull 3 cases from two stores and it took the stores a week to replenish. If the Internet goes so do the inventory management systems. Nothing will be replenished in a timely manner.
“Walmart is built on a hybrid cloud architecture, operating a private cloud in its data centers, partnering with public cloud providers and ”
“Data Center” generally means there are no servers onsite. The Internet connection is the store. One day I was talking to the WMT greeter and she explained even the ceiling heaters in the vestibule area are IP and controlled by corporate. Cut the cable into a WMT and it will close.
When the collapse comes I’ll go stand in the food line like everyone else. The key for me is I won’t have to stand in the line.
No Internet, no AMZN.
To put three cases/12 cans per case between two stores into perspective, I live equidistant between two WMTs.
The Township I’m in holds 98,700 residents. These two WMTs also serve the adjacent communities. One has 85,000 residents and the other has 55,000 residents.
So the max cans a WMT will have at any one time is 12 cans beef/pork/chicken totaling 36 cans or 63lbs. Once those are gone it’s a week wait.
All that to say the two WMTs be me has a maximum of 126lbs canned meat to be split among 240,000 community folk. LOL
My take on your upcoming retirement. Skip the charts. Looks like a lot of work and I don’t gamble in that casino.
I always read Sunday Shop. I am also a compulsive mess maker when in project mode. I’ve bought several tools that you brought to my attention.
A few days ago Putin spoke and I don’t believe he’s bluffing
https://youtu.be/RJXwLzII278
I (hear) there was a conversation between Putin and Biden, and after the call, Biden gave Americans 48 hrs to leave the Ukraine. The way the media is, I can’t substantiate that … but not doubting it. – I just read that more US troops going to Poland. – our media sucks.
It’s (February) and the midst of a sideshow, life is going to get exciting and not in a good way.
I don’t believe Putin or Xi are bluffing at all Bob..
When you watch the interviews that have been made.. you know that he’s being straight forward.. body language experts say the exact same thing..
Where when biden has been analyzed over his interviews, well let’s just say the results are vastly different.. and when a bell is used to indicate it..it resembles a phone ringing or a machine gun…lol..
Biden is out matched. He has never had the need to earn a dollar. it’s been thrown at them so he doesn’t realize the aspects of being a wage earner or how hard it truly is to make a dollar, while living in the bubble of DC politics..
Climate changes (it’s what climate does) …
It’s another frigid day in the frozen north. Instead of delivering diesel to the faithful we look to buy “straw hats in winter” and … go solar (grid tied residential) this summer once energy costs slip below the radar.
Kudos to Uretopia for guidance. In my case, it’s mostly about having ducks in a row so as to ask the right questions / understand (mostly) the answers, as we share load with a rural Coop grid. Contractors will have to jump through energy credit hoops and permits (to say naught of roof install / make connexion). I will GC and … write the cheques.
For those keeping score at home: the two day sell down based on charts isn’t handy. Our Fed. meets on Monday under expedited procedures:

Politicians are totally out of touch on what the conversations and concerns of the everyday wage earner.. similar to kids making a quarter mil a year and having to depend on food stamps or the cities mayor’s asking the people to open their doors to the homeless.. if you haven’t experienced it.. you don’t really know..it isn’t in your life experience list..
“while the peace-loving Buy’ed ’em administration is “delivering the goods.”
Not to mention that we parked nuclear bomber in the UK…
What could go wrong right.. putin was upset before.. my guess is he’s disappointed over buyd hims latest actions..
While I read this stuff I wonder my goodness.. I have to wake up from this nightmare sometime.. no body is that…..@#@$%& $#@%&/
George,
Commenting again on your comment: “We’ve been slow to say it – failed 5th?”
It seems to me prudent to be “slow to say it”, because it’s only proven to be a failed 5th if it goes below wave 1, isn’t that correct? Until then, 4th waves are known to be flat and messy. So the Elliot probability is fully intact that the 4th wave will complete its correction, and then we’ll march upward for the new high of a typical 5th.
The reason this is so crucial has to do with the timeline of things. If it’s a failed 5th, then things are likely going to greatly fall apart this year. If it’s a 4th, followed by a new high of a typical 5th, then we’ve likely got til year’s end or early next year before the market crashes and likely the rest of our current society follows suit. Does this make sense to you?
So I believe it’s particularly important to see whether the 4th resolves into a 5th, or continues down to show it’s a failed 5th. Since correctly predicting and preparing for the future is an interest of yours (and mine).
Absolutely correct, in my view. Which is why – even with the possibility that 3(4) is complete and we are now in 3(v) iii, a small rally would clear the way for a drop to finish the Larger 4 and then after a brief tussle in Europe the rally for a truncated 5.
Where five hits the wall (or really fails) is if China decides to take Taiwan in advance of our wave counts which could be the larger failing 5 any time after this potential 3(4) trying to drop lower to count as 3(5) but then we get the five up which goes higher than the Nov 8 incept.
Could happen – given wild fed money creation – but we sit and ponder while pondering the future
Maybe it’ll turn out to be an augmented fifth.
Oh well, there’s always a fifth of Jack.
My comment below, but since you know the rulebook, more detail (this is for the S&P500):
The A wave up failed to top properly around Feb 3 at 4595. We came down in three waves, missed again, and are now heading down in 5. By definition, that’s a 3/3/5 flat and we are indeed still in the 4th wave. Those retrace around 112%, so it will recover the whole drop plus a small cherry on top, then we get the real short for the next wave. I am inclined to believe it did not bottom correctly on Friday, and when it does, we will see a small bounce, then another zig zag down. Then, we go up to do this correctly (flat retracement) and come down.
These waves have been an utter disgusting mess. A sign we are in a 4th.
With the except as noted in the PN discussion: Sure looks to me like 2 was already a complex, so the fourth could be simple (which means done) and after a 3(5)(ii) bounce tues or wed then the bottom could fall out and the aggregate sink to the 36,000 range. It was 38,003 Friday
Holy crap. I have looked at the possibility after re-reading the comments and my own reply, and it is very real. Going back to the 2008 charts there were indeed missed double tops which failed, came down, and did not retrace properly. If that is right, my count is off and this wave does not bottom until Mid March.
Whats further alarming is the dollar pairs did indeed hit their targets when DXY melted down as the market went up, and the dollar usually leads the market. Heck, I was short EUR from May 2001 all the way to Jan 24th.
What I also do not like is SPX retraced 62% That is really large, and the really the maximum limit for a 4th. Meanwhile, Nasdaq did not even hit 50.
Now that I look at it again, your count makes sense, and in the grand scheme of things with a correction not likely to bottom until June or September 2023, could be right.
The only other two possibilities are we bottom in March and reach an all time high by May to start over, or what I had — go up in a second after doing five down to partially retrace, then come down again.
If the January low breaks without getting above 4595 in SPX first, this has been one massive head fake and you have this nailed way in advance.
Bitcoin, Block Chain, NFT’s and owning “Common Stock”, “Bonds”, or Futures Contracts
Some here, myself included, have long been very skeptical about the “Block Chain” revolution, particularly Bitcoin. Unlike some I was NOT as concerned about the issue of the Internet going down as the other two legs of the stool’s legs:
1) Legality – there were early rumblings that the US government would just OUTLAW Bitcoin which one had to take seriously since usually the Criminal Gang that runs an area does NOT like competition. The US Government only finally gave tacit approval of Bitcoin (and other block chains) when they seized the Bitcoins of Silk Road and auctioned them off. Silk Road was shut down by the US Government in 2013 and the seized Bitcoins were finally sold them in 2015 (announce sale over summer, sold November 2015). With the sale of the Silk Road bitcoins the US Government finally made it clear that they would NOT shut down Bitcoin as violating US law wrt creating a currency inside the US to compete with the US currency (a felony). ie: by end of 2015 it was clear it was LEGAL to buy and hold and sell Bitcoins in the US. Some countries though HAVE taken the Illegal to Own route, China has now fully gone down that path and India is following closely – BOTH very large industrialized countries.
2) Hacking of the blockchain technology and create FAKE Bitcoins (and other block chain tokens). This is one that was, and is, beyond my technical and mathmatical expertise to analyze. One thing I have noted about computer security in the past is that EVERY protection scheme ever invented has eventually been hacked!! Forget what the computer nerds say … they have been 100% wrong on this issue for as long as computers have been around. The Germans couldn’t even keep the Enigma Machine from being hacked, and it was light years ahead of anything else of that age.
I still don’t totally understand the blockchain technology but “allegedly” for one to FAKE a token to be created and sold one has to get control of more than 50% of the Public Ledger so one can CHANGE the Public Ledger, but I did NOT understand that dynamic over the many years since Bitcoin came out, and even now as a non-techno guy question that. In any case there is at least one case now of a less widely traded blockchain token where that has happened and a theft of tens of millions occurred, but for the moment as long as Bitcoin still as a LOT of Public Ledger computers running that is unlikely to happen. As the number of miners declines however that may become a risk even for Bitcoin.
What we HAVE seen MULTIPLE THEFTS of Bitcoin Tokens from companies that hold them on behalf of the owners. BILLIONS of dollars worth of Bitcoins HAVE been stolen, and it has been the customers who have been mostly left holding the bag as the holding entity then declares bankruptcy or just ceases operations. The ONLY solution to this kind of THEFT issue is to hold your tokens yourself on some stand alone SEPARATE from the internet that is NOT connected to or online at any point in time except when buying or selling your tokens. Of course storing your own tokens runs all the risks that people have with storing large sums of paper cash at home – fire, theft of the machine or hard drive, forgetting your password (people have lost hundreds of Millions /Billions in bitcoin value due to forgetting their password!!)
3) Internet survivability: If the Internet shuts down what becomes of any value you have stored in Bitcoins or other blockchain tokens? Well as noted here by many it probably goes POOF!!, at least until the Internet comes back.
OK … that covers 3 legs to the stool that supports Bitcoin on a technical level … but let’s look at that last leg, of the Internet going POOF!.
In this day and age there are NO paper instruments that reflect ownership of your stocks! There are NO paper instruments that reflect ownership of your bonds! There are NO paper instruments that reflect ownership of your even your Treasury Bonds! Ditto wrt Futures Contracts, both on and off of Exchanges Futures Contracts! For all those items there is, just like with Bitcoin, a Master Ledger SOMEWHERE, but where and who maintains it? How is it backed up? In the event of an event the size it would take to shut down the Internet would such a Master Ledger of the ownership of all of those items survive either? There is NO REASON to suspect that the Master Ledger, and it’s backups, to the ownership of all of those other financial paper products would survive an event of the size it would take to shut down the Internet. What about your banking records? Same problem. NO PAPER, only computer files … which are “somewhere” and which are connected ELECTRONICALLY to each branch. (I have some experience with the problems with this specific issue when it came to a top 5 US Bank and IT’S inability to PROVE that it had IT’S own money in IT’S own account!! – all computer numbers on a screen, NO PAPER ANYWHERE in the entire bank confirming ANYTHING) (all the above applies to NFT’s)
A shutdown of the Internet rendering Bitcoins WORTHLESS will do exactly the same for each and every paper financial instrument that you own!!
I am NOT into Crypto’s, but imo other than the fact they represent nothing other than supply /demand dynamics with “some” ability to translate them back to something you can use to buy stuff with, much of their risk as represented by the Three Legs of the 3 legged stool have now been answered. Illegal to own in some countries (leg 1), but legal in the US. Hacking of the block chain possible (leg 2) but for the biggest ones unlikely, THOUGH old style THEFT of the tokens has proven to be a REAL problem. Risk of a communications systems and Public Ledger shutdown (leg 3) no riskier imo than that faced by all other electronic ledger kept financial instruments, including Common Stocks or Futures Contracts.
Take the above FWIW … (all imo of course)
Stephen,
Well thought through.
I’ve wondered whether someone adding a block to a blockchain could, for example, embed a virus allowing access to wallets and unauthorized transactions and infecting everyone down the chain.
The old adage is: If you can’t explain a potential investment to your spouse over dinner, don’t make it!
@Another George..I thought they just caught someone that had stolen like a billion dollars worth of Bit Coin… by doing something exactly like that..

EVERBODY who deals in Crypto or is thinking about it NEEDS to read LOOB’s link. Scary stuff about just some of the major thefts of Crypto from 3rd party holders.
BILLIONS of dollars worth when measured against Bitcoin’s value today, virtually none of it ever recovered.
That just goes to confirm my comments above about the risk of THEFT when it comes to trying to hold onto Bitcoin.
I’m not a lover of crypto, except for some specific uses, and I don’t consider it a store of value. As I understand it, only Monero is relatively anonymous – BTC is traceable with sufficient computer resources. Cash, as far as I’m aware, is still relatively anonymous – I don’t think serial numbers are regularly recorded or available. PMs and cash will survive the net(cash will be usable for a while). Cryptos have one advantage over these though – it can be backed up – a thousand times on different media if needed. Of course, without the net, transactions will be virtually impossible, but you’ll still “own” the crypto.

The treasonous traitors associated with “CREATED” RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA hoax will turn on each other [rats do what rats do] and will beg Durham for a plea bargain.

I had it wrong last week thinking we were at the top of a 5th, but didn’t matter much because we headed South anyway. We are still in a 4th, doing a 3/3/5 flat, which IMHO is not done yet. When it is, the entire thing will retrace and go a little higher, somewhere between 4600-4650 SPX depending on where it bottoms. The next top in that area is where it really be shorted, and if you want to play the upside, I think (but not sure) another zigzag down is coming first. This is one tricky AF market, but I’ve taken it in chuncks and been right for the most part so far. IMHO, we will not see the bottom until Powell spews his BS 3/19 or 3 days later. If by small chance we are trending up into the meeting, he crashes it.
Food Prep!!
Just a reminder to people that for HOMEGROWN food do NOT forget the Potatoes!! Before the Blight an Irishman could feed a family of 7 for a year with about 1.5 acres of potatoes.
The amount of food you can get out of a small area by planting potatoes is amazing!!
Talk to your county agricultural extension agent about growing potatoes in YOUR area. Different varieties grow best in different areas, and you county Ag Extension Agent will KNOW what type to plant for your soil and your climate.
Try a test plot this year so YOU can iron out the inevitable wrinkles. Not sure what to do about wild hogs /boars, we don’t have them here, but I have read they WILL root them out if they find them.
Good Growing!!
“Just a reminder to people that for HOMEGROWN food do NOT forget the Potatoes!! Before the Blight an Irishman could feed a family of 7 for a year with about 1.5 acres of potatoes.”
Talking about potatoes is really interesting.. you see…
I have Vivid dreams.. you would swear you were there.. many times I have in the past gone into places and knew where everything was.. even what in in the drawers.. It is kind of freaky.. anyway.. back to potatoes..
I have been having those dreams about growing potatoes in a hydroponic.. or aeroponic setup.. I have gone through it and now am just about to build one.. I actually will be putting it together on tuesday … I have been using container gardens to.. one year I got some horse manure ( composted and old) in a 4 by8 area I got a little over three hundred pounds.. since then I have been growing them all in just plain dirt.. and have only gotten about thirty pounds.. each plant will yield about three to five pounds… in potato grow bags.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234204543177?
My hopes are that the potato grow tower will yield quite a few using a richer nutrient..
The plan.. is to take
1 7 gallon black bucket..
cut a round hole in the center of the bottom of the bucket.. and drill drain holes ..
In a 2.5 gallong bucket.. just below the stabilizing ridge.. ( about two inches from the top.. I will put in an elbow into the bucket and that will make the tower do that on four sides.. forming an x..
in that a sight tube and a fill port..
https://www.ebay.com/itm/133065583737?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/224647580427?
I will make a round manifold with the sprayers pointing down and on both opposite sides I will have a T this will go down ten inches to a ninety then to a Y and down to the pump.. the line will go through the center hole.. the distance will be different for each bucket.. now take the seven gallon bucket and make sure it rests good on the elbow tower .. small two inch piece of pvc with a cap on it.. take a gasket and make sure that the seal between the two buckets is good.. put the seven gallon bucket on top make sure that the manifold will come just below the top of the lid.. in the center of the lid put your 2.5 inch hole..
using neoprene inserts put your potato.. eye..
make sure that the ph is between six and seven..
I had thought about putting in a water heater similar to one in an aquarium but really up till now I don’t think it will be needed.. to check the growth of the potatos all you have to do is lift the lid.. https://www.amazon.com/Desiubmn-Planter-Caddies-Rollers-Lockable/dp/B09L7TMM87/ref=zg_bs_14623204011_35/145-5053220-7705940?pd_rd_i=B09S3XNFHL&th=1
I will take pictures of it.. when I am done and send them to George.. for the tower.. take pvc pipe and go up.. my plan is to go up three feet for the top.. at every twelve inch range I will put a cross member.. this is to hang the let lights on.. and give support..
I want to be able to bathe the plant in light..

around the grow tower I will wrap a reflective blanket to make sure the plants get adequate lighting.. this can later be taken off.. my thought is to use velcro

depending on the size of the grow tent you could even place several systems in one area..
the last time I did an aeroponic.. I got sweet potatoes.. LOL they were huge.. and I should have picked them before I did since they were really stringy…
There are plans on the ‘Net for a potato tower. The guy who builds them claims yields in excess of 100 pounds from a 4x4x4 tower comprised (I believe, although I just glanced at his front page) of buckets.
No, I don’t remember the URL.
I’ll see if I have it stashed in my bookmarks or did a screencap though…
“The guy who builds them claims yields in excess of 100 pounds from a 4x4x4 tower”
Foundit!!
2’x2’x3′ tower, planter, not buckets, built for outside, but it sure looks like it could be used indoors, even in a house…
“plans on the ‘Net for a potato tower”
I actually build one of those.. I was so excited.. I had plant growth I have never seen before…. LOL LOL LOL big lustrous plants lots of flowers.. but no spuds.. I got one potato out of it.. Now.. I did aeroponic sweet potatoes.. and got three potatoes with an aeroponic setup.. the good thing is.. those three sweet potatoes filled a five gallon bucket and were very stringy and woody..
LOL
the one I am going to try now.. is aeroponic but I am going to do it a little different so that I can keep track of the roots…. the idea is to be able to grow spuds indoors and harvest as it grows…. I had thought about making a cabinet aeroponic setup.. but will use a bucket system at first to see if my idea is feasible or not..
“There are plans on the ‘Net for a potato tower. The guy who builds them claims yields in excess of 100 pounds from a 4x4x4 tower”
Last year I used grow bags… and built a frame to hold them.. kept them watered and in each grow bag I had five plants.. and ten growbags.. I got about three pounds per plant.. we actually just finished the potatoes from that harvest.. the big issue was.. water.. the potatoes need lots of water.. in reflection of my one time sweet potato bucket.. I had water all the time.. on the green bean plant holder.. great plants lots and lots of flowers.. but no bee’s..
so pollination was the issue.. can’t have a baby if you don’t have sex..
Larry Hall from Minnesota.. has hundreds of thousand followers.. his rain gutter grow system is absolutely amazing..it uses a wicking system..
He did one corn stalk in a bucket.. the corn was what twelve or ninteen feet high.. the same with his tomato plants.. amazing results..

for my system I used this method.. https://youtu.be/W2jRTalsI7k
and it sits in a four by four food area.. seventy two plants.. with a timer on it to recirculate the water twice a day..
the plant growth is amazing..
https://youtu.be/lv48p4dSEJg
only time will tell if it works.. when I had a gent stop by that was building hydroponic systems for big ranches.. I suggested that he include a bee hive system into his enclosed buildings..

Can we swap her into the place of Cackling Cameltoe? I might actually start listening again. We can then take bets on if/when Brandon gets booted.

With Canada’s population of just 35 million it does not surprise me that their neighbor to the South, a very wealthy neighbor with some 300 million more well connected inhabitants who are just as tired of the situation as they are, would be willing to fund this whole thing. I’m a bit surprised that the percentage isn’t higher. I’m sure we don’t have long to wait to see how huffy the Canadian government can truly get, though.
George I said I would let you know when I could, where my fighter jets went, I knew they went overseas and now I can tell you, here is where they went, not where I expected, but still things are dicey all over the world.

Jo Jorge, appears the cat is out of the bag with our friends from Pfizer, recent article from Rio Times:

Now who would release such a confidential document? And where would they acquire said document? Lawyers all over this country must be salivating at the thought of a piece of this action. Say goodbye to this company….

“Eastern Promises” starring Viggo Mortenson. It’s about the Russian mafia but the underlaying business is prostitution. Dark, but enlightening.
Why would anyone at all want to rush to a countries defense and take the chance to destroy human life on the planet for a country that is known to be so despicable and corrupt.. then be known to have one of the worst pedophile trafficking hubs in the world….. anyone that knows me knows what I think about creeps like that and those that support creeps like that.. No wonder the people of the country asked Putin to come save them..
Loob, your pal Trump sure ran a lot of illegal side hustles with Russians, how do you support creeps like Trump (oh I forgot you like ‘hiding in your box from any facts’ about your Hero ex-President)??https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2020/08/20/trumps-business-partners-allegedly-involved-in-human-trafficking-mafia-matters-probable-money-laundering/?sh=10d6cc7f610d

“Ukraine is one of the worst child trafficking hubs in the world….”
Really? The “Slavic hub” used to be Romania…
It has long pissed me off that Russian/Soviet orphans who had not been “adopted out” were turned out onto the streets when they hit age 14. This was the practice in all Iron Curtain “satellites.” I hope their social philosophy regarding orphans has improved, but doubt it has in most of them…
Loob, absolutely; the Ukranian women are some of the most beautiful in the world and poor, so the Turks, Arabs, et al, and others, have a huge smuggling operation. Disgusting side of humanity which is never addressed, it’s like drugs from Mexico, cheena, and Afghanistan, it’s a lucrative business model.
On the mark Stephen2.
Pretty much all forms of currency are subject to governmental actions, criminal actions and infrastructure failure. But, risk aversion grows with age (usually) and managing assets if income streams fade near retirement is not so much fun even if it’s all planned. My mis-trust of cryptos mostly centers around your third leg but it’s certainly not limited to cryptos, as far as I’m concerned all financial institutions and instruments are suspect in this age of high speed trading, algorithms, libor cheats, gold price manipulation, 2% cash reserve ratios an so on.
Had I gotten on the BTC bandwagon in 2010 when it ‘jumped’ to 9 cents I’m sure my attitude would be way different. Just can’t see $50-60K / BTC as a good starting bet and not really interested in fractional ownership opportunities. If it ever dipped far enough for it to look attractive I’d probably write it off as toast and miss my BTFD opportunity!

Hopefully the War starts today. 2 minutes before the halftime show would be awesome. 4k video would be icing.
Usually at 3 a.m. local on a Sunday. Maybe next week.
Your view is USA-centric. The Russian view is Euro-centric. Remember, the USA is only the big kid in the NATO-gang. It’s a EU turf war so Germany will ultimately be calling the shots.
And do not lose focus on Turkey. The economy is in trouble, the leader is ambitious, and tieing up the Americans in the Ukraine opens all kinds of opportunities for unimpeded expansion.
Germany was the Prussian Empire. Turkey was the Ottoman Empire. The U.S. is an extension of the British Empire.
Could be Revenge of the Turk’s. The biggest problem for the Prussians/Ottomans was being landlocked.
I want whatever brings the collapse so we can work on a level playing field. The bailed companies have to go. And they will.
Right now the U.S. is counting $30,000,000,000,000 in debt.
It’s going to cost $50,000,000,000,000 to refortify the Eastern Front. Nancy and McConnell will be on the screens, “Blah,blah,blah… We have to get this signed tonight.”
Well, if the stock market is about to collapse, or at best adjust and only return about 5% per year for the next decade, what’s the point? Maybe it’s time to pivot and concentrate on making the most of what we have? And if my read on your reader demographics is correct, earning is not as important any more as making it last? Our kids’ are turning into lions at the zoo. How do we help them remain ambitious?
My wife is losing very long time friends left and right this year and she’s starting to open up about mortality and where the time has gone. I reminded her this morning that statistically, she only has about 20 years left. I haven’t heard a peep from her all morning.
Hey Joe. As I approach my 80th birthday, I thought about writing another book. No sure about how much time I had left to write it, I checked an online site and this is what I read.
“According to your life expectancy of 79 years, you have already lived 100% of your life. According to the World Health Organization statistics 2011, you have already lived 98.75 % of your life. You entered that you live in Canada and for the males in your country the life expectancy is 80 years. That means your prediction is pessimistic since there is a negative difference of 1 years between your prediction on how long you will live and international statistics.”
How is that for a wake up call?
Happy Super Bowl Sunday.
We all have the opportunity to live until we die. Many reject this opportunity, and that’s sad. No man knows the day or the hour, or so I’m told. Some yogis disagree.
Regardless, we have now. I’m taking a break from some serious work and enjoying now. Then it’s back to work(for me) and I’ll enjoy that too.
Each night, before falling asleep, and with your dying breath, never forget to say “Thank You” for this life!
If you are 80 and in good health you can easily live another BRAIN HEALTHY 18-22 years.
Just a couple of months ago one of the original Tuskegee Airmen died. He was honored by Trump at Trump’s last State of the Union speech in 2019 and there were lots of TV interview with him. He was sharp as a tack in those interviews and was still super mobile, no problems in either arena. At the time he was honored he had just turned 100 and when he died a few weeks ago they said he was 102.
There is STILL lots of living left if you are 80 and in good health and getting good exercise. Used to see that with the old farmer types where I grew up … they kept at it right up into their later 90’s, though they did tend to slow down some right around 95 but not before.
Write the book if you have it in you!!
BIC: Our beloved Dad lived in the love of his famiy; the love he felt for them, and the love he felt from them. He outlived all life insurance projections, and couldn’t get a plan after 55 because of erratic heartbeat which turned into CHF, then he outlived all those heart doctor projections as they tried to rope him into a pacemaker, which he declined, he then got Parkinsons. At the end, a 85th birthday celebration in the hospital, where the whole floor came to wish him well, along with his children and grandchildren and friends, he passed a week later from pancreatic cancer. His heart, at 19 percent ejection fraction, along with the skip, never failed. What a life he lived, present every second, faced every challenge, and loved greatly. Enjoy the Best of the Rest of your life, the Rest will come soon enough and take care of itself.
One week +/-before the TRUTH Social launch.
A TRUTH Social Superbowl commercial would be in order.
“There are 81 million people who voted for Joe, they might now consider showing some pride in their choice by visiting their local military recruiter and signing up.”
Unfortunately half of those 81 million are dead, and the other half live in a second-floor apartment on a vacant lot.
