Good Morning All (OF's):

I hope everyone is well and happy. Early check in today due to copious amounts of work chores.
No calls yesterday per planned scheduling so today is loaded up with calls. And a work drop..
Here's hoping everyone is healthier and more active than the start of the week. Should cover it.
I know we all have exciting plans with warmer weather coming up. We need to land there healthy.
Did some exercising at gym and I'll be damned I've got a backache. No meds so grin and bear it.
A little tune to follow from Hyde Park. Gypsy mighta been there or maybe he's too young. Just wild!

Wishing each and every one of you, a pleasant morning, wonderful day, and an outstanding evening.
I am currently pretty tied up with projects and work, so wanted to start with a daily check hello today..
Today's Tuesday. The week cruises on and the work week continues. One day closer to a weekend!

See you all tomorrow (again)!

Ohboy -- Gotta share: My Beautiful Witch came sleepily in as I was trying to catch up with this chatty mob. When I looked at the fargin time: 3:30. Is she going to join me getting up at 1 or 2 AM every morning?

She is too important. I walked her back and tucked her in. There are few things in this world more beautiful than a gentle, sleepy, redheaded woman.

I am so blessed. I've got my sons, grandsons, and now a tweeny great granddaughter, and you guys here.

Trump says he will release 80,000 pages of JFK files on Tuesday

US president says files contain ‘a lot of reading’ about assassination that has fuelled conspiracy theories for decades.

Whatever happened to the Tales Of The Lolita Express ?!?

Fergot to mention: When she came in, I was scrolling and she saw this pic:

Sleepyhead sez: "That old coin you found looks like gold in that picture. And you look fit."

It does and it ain't. It is a piece of 8 that Mel Fisher confirmed came from the Potosi mint and was a "dump coin" (ship breaking up, but still floating, dropping treasure) from the Nuestra Senora de las Maravillas that sunk off the Bahamas in 1656 after colliding with another ship. I found it when my hand bumped it, sitting in white sand while fixing my dive rig in about 20' of water.

Surprisingly, Fisher told me it ain't worth much -- mebbe two hundred bucks on a good day. But it is my own found treasure, so I find it priceless. Had it mounted.

I realized after posting an answer to your follow up that I may not have answered your initial question. If you are referring to Musk's company stock, Tesla etc, definitely so. Funds that are holding Tesla especially are not at all pleased for several reasons, at least. They perceive that he is not minding the shop (and minding his own business, as well). Ultra rich folk do not favor overly "loud", and what they might perceive as "outlandish behavior". He has become very public. And sales of Tesla cars have dropped like a rock. I think there is a genuine concern, especially since the zero emissions mandate is now obviated, that the car is more of a fad than a long term investment. The stock has tanked since mid December of last year. Today it lost nearly 12% - a lot of volatility. The Chairman of the Board of Tesla (Robyn Denholm) sold ALL of her Tesla stock, before the crash happened, which has not gone over well, at all. FWIW I do not own it.. I'll post a chart below that shows it's lost over half its value in just 3 months time.

Elon Musk’s silence is deafening as Trump wrecks his business

America’s ‘first buddy’ will have to choose between Maga and his role as Tesla chief executive

"First Buddy" may soon have to decide .. If it is not too late.

I saw that blithering idiot bondi on the tube and according to her she was very surprised as was kash at the last release.
They have a "truckload" of info now and just as soon as they get done sanitizing it we will see it.
A truckload is 2,000 pages apparently so sometime never is my guess............but hey look at ALL the arrests

Silly me for thinking anything would change I realize now freedom is a illusion allowed me by my overlords.

This is absolutely marvelous!! The astronauts that were stranded on the ISS space station for NINE MONTHS were just rescued by... Oh, my...

Elon Musk and his private spaceship company! <-- This is gonna be hard for detractors to piss on, considering what the marooned astronauts say.

Be sure to watch it to the surprising denouement (day noom wah) at 2:00 minutes...

Good morning brothers and sisters!

Mostly cloudy with sprinkles starting at 40F and predicted to reach 50F.

I've been pricing Eliquis at all of my options. My Well Care insurance company called and recommended their own mail order pharmacy but they are still significantly higher than generic from Canada.

The Legacy Pharmacy that promised no co-pay if I qualify, turned me down again after reviewing our 2025 tax return, saying again that we made too much money to qualify. The moron who asked for our tax return, kept asking me for explaination as to why the differences between our gross and net income.

I finally told him that I thought that is why he asked for our tax return and pointed out that it detailed our rental expenses include property taxes, insurance, landscaper, water, sewer, garbage, and maintenance, but he casually brushed that aside as inconsequential, saying he wasn't seeing any major medical expenses in 2025 that would pose a hardship, helping us qualify.

The price of Eliquis in the US is about $790 per month and about $200 co-pay mail order from Well Care after I pay my $420 annual deductible, but available generically from BC at $130 mo plus shipping.

Time to start writing letters to my representatives, including Trump and Musk, asking what they are going to do about the pharmaceutical lobby that is raping our elderly.

Yer beginning to sound like a petulant kid who demands, requires, stomps feet, asks why not now... And the new team has not yet been in office ONE FARGIN MONTH YET.

Will you please compare the utter lockdown-dark disaster of the previous presidency? It cannot be fixed on YOUR schedule. Did you forget the Deep State in action against Trump in his first term? Hm?

They are still there. Still working, backstabbing, lawfaring. And you are bitching because you think not-quite-a-month is plenty of time to have had it all wrapped up and presented to you.

Come back in two years if your instant demands seem not to be met. This is a problem of a size that decides whether the USA remains premiere on this planet, or falls into the disrepair of San Francisco writ large.

Morning

Another day of red flag fire watch.

Get to get revenge against the dreaded red ceder today. More of future fire prevention. Will be running a 15' bush hog mowing them mothers down. Wish it was a grinder as they don't leave stubs that will destroy tires, at least I don't have to pay for them.

More coffee and twisting a fatty. Going to be a long day.

 

[Unca Walt]

Do I sound cranky. I think I do. Readers: Take 18% off the bitchin' scale due to crankytude.

Hey - it's OK to be cranky - getting old gives you Carte Blanch to exercise your crankosity - in spades -

You keep calmly waiting and let me know when it happens,trust the plan and all that.

Got some of this Jarrah honey from down south today. 35+TA, pricey but it lasts a while between us. My Missus also uses it when she gets mouth ulcers and its quite effective.
