Yeah, I’d like to invest a little money but I just don’t have time or the stomach for day trading.

Short-lived excitement about the vaccine. Moderna was basically a one day bump this week, and then people took profits and ran. Lots of pre-market excitement yesterday to get the Robin Hood noobs to take the bait at the bell. Traders were not excited about the vaccine they were excited to take their 8% profit. So predictable.

I think masks definitely help but it’s hard to judge based on the numbers because I think there are large parts of the country where people are not wearing masks at all. Everybody around here has been pretty good about wearing the masks at stores etc. but my neighbor was at the Walmart up in Keene New Hampshire yesterday and he said he saw a lot of people without masks or masks hanging around their necks.

Thanks, I needed some cheering up.

Where has Dryslot been? Hunting trip?

Yeah. That would’ve been the time to buy and hodl. It was only up around 7% today last time I checked.

Bacon up that sausage boy!

I ended up with < 1” on the season.

LOL, end of the Patriots - Ravens game! Rain basically falling as solid sheets of water at this point.

I’ve had minor issues with my back over the past few years due to lots of physical work. However, four weeks ago I hurt myself and it was insane. When somebody tells me they have back pain I will never take it for granted again. A few days of crippling back pain and then a week of soreness that turned into lightning bolt like sciatica. Definitely a disk compression or herniation putting some pressure on a nerve. I saw my doctor and have done some chiropractic and PT work. I also spent many years as a licensed body worker before I took a break and went to the beer world. It took a few weeks but I figured out the stretches and self adjustments that get me back to baseline comfort level. I can stand up all day long but short or long car rides throw my S.I. joint out of place and trigger the sciatic lightning. Every day gets a little bit better now but there is full emotional crisis when you feel like you were never gonna walk quite the same way again. I lasted about two days on prescription muscle relaxers before I threw them away. Stretching, walking, occasional Advil and CBD.

Wait until you go through one where trees are coming down around you, you will not really want to see it again up close. At least that’s my experience.

Looks miserable in Foxboro.

Narrow corridor of good gusts. Spotty convective bursts.

Still 45° here.

Ha, ha wow! My peak has been 18mph.

16oz curls?

My hands feel just like two mugs of beer.

Under.

I’m shocked to see the GFS lost the 4 feet of snow for S of Pike.

Not even a wind warning in these parts.

Doesn’t really matter whether you have a child or not, just live a good life and when you have a chance to have a positive influence in a young humans life, be present and enjoy.

Yup! Old daddies are wise daddies!

Well, not to be selfish but my wife and I, as a fun hobby, have an antiques booth at a local antiques mall and I would hate to see them have to shut down between now and Christmas.

It was my favorite place to go as a kid! I loved going to their headquarters down near Fenway park. Lechmeres in Cambridge was another classic.

I hear you but having grown up a city boy I love a big yard even though I cannot keep up with “home and gardens” look. I’m sure a few neighbors wish I would but our property is not messy or run down it’s just a little bit wild looking. We are on 3 acres with great neighbors about 150’ feet on each side of us and our backyard empties out into pretty big woods. I love the idea of being able to walk into the backyard and just keep walking for an hour with no roads or houses to be seen. Do I miss being able to walk into town sometimes? Absolutely.
