Charley Pride died of complications from covid, age 86. He was still touring until the lockdowns started.

Thanks going to look into them. I never think of looking at StewMac.

LSU took a self imposed ban on bowl play this year lol. Like ummm does it matter when you play like LSU has? Do people think there will be actual bowls? If they pull this off brilliant play and timing.

Looking for a new stuf of 6 inline tuning machines for one of my telecasters. I've upgraded both of the ones I have over time to newer/better fender machines. Looking what else is out there. Like a lot of things availability seems low. Bonus would be black ones but that's not going to happen.

A lot of locations have been cracking down on them and requiring them to act like a hotel rules wise. Room use tax is a large amount of money for a lot of places. They see it as lost money. Won't take long to figure out a way to tax it to death.

The more NASDAQ and tech goes down, the more energy goes the other direction. I fail to see what is driving it at this point other than hopes for a new stimulus, who knows. Investor of Exxon published a letter they wanted an entire new board to go all in on carbon capture. Hmmm. Last major...

Wound up picking up a 1660 super about 2 months ago to hold me over till things settled down for my new build. That worked out pretty for a change. Didn't realize till today that 1660 supers are now hard to find.

NASDAQ futures in the dumps

The zoo was a big deal 20 years ago when I would go for the college world series Marlin Perkins and mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom show did a lot for it I guess. SAC (Strategic air command) museum not far from town. That was about all I saw.

Christmas coming

I am not job hunting in the least. Got too many issues going on right now. Anyway phone rang at 2am the other night and I answered since I was up. Someone looking for a PC/PM for a refinery in a full time maintenance and turnaround capacity. No telling who gave them my resume, but that's mostly...

I'm very old fashioned. I invest across the market in my 401k. For my side money I only invest in things I understand how they plan to actually make money. The dotcom boom and bust mostly passed me by except for the stuff in the funds in my 401k.

The one place I worked that was structured like that the CEO was top of the entire company, a president for each subsiderary with the VP's under the president. So each smaller company had a president. For some workers the difference won't be noticable it will be just be "boss", for those that...

Lobbing shells after Beirut in the 80's.

Not a "who died", but yesterday was the anniversary of the launching of the battleship USS New Jersey in 1942. Watched a quick video on it yesterday of the amount of materials used in making it. 17.5 tons of blueprint paper were used. Enough paint to paint a 5' tall fence 238 miles long. It's...

Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley dead at 73.

Energy sector at the top again. Guess people are really expecting a travel breakout at some point.

Jobs report 1/2 of what was expected.

Energy sector top of the green. Crazy.

Money laundering

Scrap price goes up and down locally depending how bad the meth outbreak is at the time.

Garlic cures cancer. But only in tansvestites sleeping with my dad that, but I kept her hoped up on drugs so it worked out. Oh wait, nevermind.

Just like graphics cards. A number of people make it their job or part time job to flip ammo. Find it online with bots and sell it, visit walmart multiple times a day or academy sports and such and sell it online. Every time. In the US at least, LOT more people trying to buy ammo that top end...

In the US unless you want imported ammo (some use it, many don't if it can be avoided) it's limited by a limited number of companies that make primers which also limits reloaders. Not brass, not gunpowder, not bullets, not even loading them together. Reason primer prices are off the chart, as...

Well that makes it clear as mud, thanks. Wonder if he cashed in on that name at times to get free stuff? Free desserts maybe.

Nicely played. For a split second I thought you were going to ask if he even had a degree. Nicely played.

Haven't played in years, decade and more. If you buy the expansion you get everything to bring you up to date?

Went through a 5 day infusion of methyl prednisone of 1,000mg a day again. Nothing. It helped with the everday small aches and pains of being 50 is all. The nurse this time was not near as cute or interesting as the last time :(

Tradition

Money laundering takes money.

I took my profits out of energy last week. Put it in thinking there would be a run up once people started getting around to moving around again. Didn't think about multiple vaccine bumps. Energy sector leading again today.

At my age the kids are all out of college or married and moved on themselves lol

It's nowhere 90% in my industry. Average age is high and drives up the insurance cost. I'm 49 and I'm almost always the youngest person in the office. The shop is not far behind. Last place I worked before I got sick average retention was over 20 years.

Reading about Ford doing away with the column shifter in 2022 and going to push button only for the trans, remember back first new truck I bought had a manual transmission. That's old. But yes also old, took typing class in high school.

Be self employed for a while. Not only health insurance you pay the other approx 7.5% for social security and medicare your employer picks up. It's more than 1.5 in the industry I work in but mostly because 3/4 of the company is working in the shop and not in an office and such.

I would guess they will update the name once they make the changes before it goes into service.
