Joe XIden and the stock market

Right now my stocks over at Robbing Hood are worth a little over 3 times what I paid for them.
I could just have them transferred to my broker at the bank and just ride the slide and hop for the best.

OR

I could sell all but Tesla and Workhorse and pay the Xiden taxes next year.

I'm really leaning towards selling before 0bama 2.0 bottoms the stock market out.

-But the stock market doesn't really reflect the economy- *insert eye roll smiley here*

My Navy enlistment story

 

When I went shopping at recruiters- I already knew I wasn't Gung-Ho enough to be a Marine.

Army- HUGE signing bonus- Combat arms!

Me- Ummmm, no...........

(This was about 2 years after I graduated as a mediocre student because I didn't apply myself)

Me- Here ya go.

Navy- Lets get you scheduled to go to Chicago for MEPS and take the real one.

Me- But........ I'm not sure about enlisting right now.

Navy- You're not obligated to anything, the real test will let us officially offer you jobs.

Me- >bus ride down to Chi-town and then a crappy hotel before being woken for the bus ride to MEPS and a. LOT. of. waiting. then bus ride back<

Navy- Dude, you scored too high, there's a lot of openings for CE and better advancement. Besides, they're still Seabees.

Me- Okay >did the MEPS thing again and off to Great Mistakes in a MLB sponsored company<

Missed the Monday Sweet spot, didn't I?

 Because I was driving to Wetherford to pick up a sacrificial ATV to be used as a band saw prime mover.

Too bad it's the last of them....

Sorry Gregory, it's as big as I could make it.

Something is getting a stress test.

Your Rule 5 puzzle

 We were taught to use a hasty sling and keep our elbows close to our ribs to minimize joint movement.
But holding the rifle as far forward as you can make it look all tacticool and shit....
