Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

first use of the ultrasonic cleaner were some combs and a hairbrush, with some dawn in a ziplock. Wife was pleased
Before and after.

Next I tried a rusted c clamp that has been soaking in penetrating oil for months. Put it in a gallon ziplock with simply green and water. Took a little rust off but still won’t budge, so it’s soaking in more penetrating oil.

Do you all drain the tank afterwards?

Saw one video where a guy cleaned tools using gasoline in a jar in the tank.

We all must live in wrong places as I’m fairly positive I heard there were no supply problems in Washington yesterday.

I heard the same thing. We must live in an alternate reality.

Odd how much I hear about MIA 10mm sockets and occasionally wrenches. The ones that go MIA for me are 8mm & 9mm! And I can rarely find replacements at the pawn shop that sell loose sockets for $0.50 and loose wrenches for $1.00.

Jim Cramer the scammer?

Jim Cramer from the Mad Money TV show, Ken.

I have no idea what Cramer did as a hedge fund manager, but since starting the show he's been out of the market and I don't see that he has any incentive to engage in the pump'n'dump behavior of which he's been accused. He publishes the results of the charitable trust he runs as an investment club every year, and so far has yet to beat the S&P more than half the time.

I listened to Cramer's advise in what was it, 2007, when he warned to withdraw funds from the market that you may need in the next three to five years. I was pretty ignorant of how things worked at the time, and was relying on an adviser at my credit union to manage the retirement portfolio. When I looked at the holdings, it was 100% in the market. I told him to move 75% of those assets over into other equities, and dodged a huge bullet that year that would have meant me working for a lot longer before retiring. The advisor held an annual Christmas dinner for his clients, and it was a very sad and angry group at the meal that year. And he wouldn't look me in the eyes, so that was the end of my involvement with him.

That experience got me started reading Cramer's books, that I thought did a pretty good job of covering investment basics. I was even in his club for a year or two before I realized I didn't have time to do the research and trades needed to actively manage a portfolio the way he encourages people to do on his show. But he still does a pretty good job of analyzing market trends and the economy, which is why I still catch his show when the financials are in the news and I'm curious what's going on.

Yeah, that Jim Cramer.

You know the old saying, Ted: Wish in one hand, spit in the other, then see which one's got more in it...

Got my stitches out and got the report on my ear, basal cell cancer, so I’ll lose a chunk of ear. Going to schedule follow up surgery on my leg and do the ear at the same time. He’s a plastic surgeon and does great work. I’m going to see if he can make me look like Clint Eastwood forty years ago.
