Good morning!!!!

What a Wake-up this Morning!!!!

Not to be political, but everything is political... Just Wow.

No matter what side you were on yesterday, and for the record I am neither Republican nor Democrat, last night was a historic election here in the US. Now I just watched a YouTube of a gracious and candidly Presidential acceptance speech and I find a flutter of hope that we can mend the chasms that developed this last 8-16 years. That we can finally restart the powerful economic engine that is the heart and core of America. It does not matter who or what we voted yesterday, today is a new day and maybe we can start rebuilding and dare I say it, maybe together we CAN make America Great again...

New Love, new Job, new POTUS coming soon...

I'm optimistic this morning.

Rain and 56 degrees here. Nice and quiet.

Happy Anniversary Randy. My 1st is in a couple weeks

Be well & God Bless America, all of it.

David

About to watch 3 to 5% of my investment portfolio disappear today
in what is called "moderated panic" across the financial world.

If a selloff does happen, I'll look at like the market is on sale, and will take advantage of the reduced prices to put a little more cash to work.

RNG, any new pics? More blue please.

Here ya go, Drew.



This was taken just before it got loaded on the trailer and dragged off to the mechanic's. I swear I took a few of it on the trailer, but the phone is refusing to show them to me this morning.:confused2:

There was a rather nice sunset last evening though...

Good Morning! 57F @ 6:15AM. Sunny. High near 70F. Winds light and variable.

Not much change with the arm, still very swollen but itching more than painful. Not used to feeling a big pad of water under my elbow when I try to use the armrest.

If there is a selloff in the stock market today, it'll be because the Republicans have control over both houses of Congress AND the White House, and that much power held by one party in this deeply divided country is not good, especially not good for business. I just hope the Republicans can moderate their enthusiasm for doing things their way and instead do what's best for the entire country.

On the not so good side of the coin, Proposition 63 passed, and now folks in the Golden State will need a license to purchase ammunition, be subject to a waiting period, and can not legally own magazines holding more than ten rounds.

Proposition 64 also passed, so we'll all now be able to smoke marijuana for recreational purposes without a prescription.

But Proposition 60, which would have required **** stars to wear condoms on the job, was defeated. Further proof that this once great state is well and truly on its way to H3LL in a hand basket.

As I watched the election results come in last night, I was struck by how clearly the Democratic Party wins outlined the major metropolitan areas in most states. Is it because people who like having things done for and to them also tend to flock to the big cities? Almost all my neighbors moved out into the sticks to get away from other people telling them what to do. So perhaps we're seeing the independent thinkers, the folks that prefer to do for themselves, and the anti-government types rise up in an attempt to stop the nanny state?

Happy Hump Day gang!

RNG, pretty high center of gravity, sway bars?
nice blue....
rain showers coming in, time to get some things done outside.
stock market doing fine, yeah.

 

[toppop52]

Just in from voting...

Since there were some offices that listed no candidates I liked, I wrote myself in for all of them

You have my full support!

 

[daugen]

You have my full support!

:thumbsup:
I voted at least three times for Roy, I lost count.

She is doing the 92 year old :dance1::cool2::applause::flagday: She is from a different world than today. She worked on the farm beside dad and never thought about it being different. It was her duty, same as voting.
Ed

My mom is 93 and voted as well, she's happy today!

50's now, 60's later, raining gently.

Drew, I wouldn't worry about a selloff, it's temporary and the money will come home. Like RNG said, buy some cheap stocks and make a killing when Trump grows the economy and puts everyone back to work!

and to think I heard it right here, from our own Toppop :dance1:
Unemployment is currently pretty low relatively but not for
certain groups based on age or minority. And if we don't employ some of these hard to employ,
well sure seems that a lot of them revert/resort to a life of crime instead.

Most folks who are working and getting a decent wage aren't likely to come breaking into your home.
They are trying to protect their own.
Now Toppop, are we going to get another Works Progress Administration?
We could use some guardrails on Route 17 btw where the embankment falls down a dozen feet into water.
I was amazed this state would allow something that dangerous along a high speed road. Pennsylvania wouldn't.
Virginia wouldn't. Delaware for sure wouldn't. They spend more on infrastructure than NC and which is why my taxes are very low.
Too low clearly since important stuff isn't getting done, the schools are D rated and there's no money
to improve them. And I sure hope some bridge doesn't collapse under any of us.
Tell you what, ask me in four years if those guard rails get installed.

I wonder how much the Trump brand has now escalated in value. He may have to divest something and maybe now will someone
review his tax returns? Lot of people would like to get a hold of them and see exactly how successful this man really was.
Well, warts and all, he's our Prez...he soundly beat Hillary in this election.

back to regular programming.
