I'm usually quiet... I only speak when I think it's good to do so. Nobody at the time thinks it's a good idea.

Idahodutch,

Yep nowhere to run and hide these days.

More carnage in the markets today.
Silver dropped. . . big time. Went to see what might be available to buy, not much left, pretty slim pickings + the premiums have jumped.

RR, you're not alone I have found myself in that boat many times.

If this is random I thought I would add a Chinese saying 天无绝人之路 （tian1 wu2 jue2 ren2 zhi1 lu4) It means Heaven never seals off all the exits, there is always a way out.

Bill,
I work part time, just when they need the extra help. We've saved a little extra powder and I would love to really load up the truck with everything I could muster, but the problem is, in the short run, that extra powder is going to be needed if things continue to slow, or put on hold, and I don't get much work.
Doesn't matter how good a sale silver might be right now, circumstances say to hold the extra powder for a bit. Aarrrggg.

In fact, having an emergency stash of powder, in case all the power is down for a period of time, and electronic payments are out.
At least enough handy to fix a flat, or get some gas . . . could be cold medicine, or baby formula . . . things happen. (That rainy day stuff)

If everything was cash only all of a sudden, and ATMs were tapped out. Would we be ok for a while?

Aye Matey, Well said.
At least one of the exits should have a name that says "Honor", if that one is used, the consequences that may follow, are going to be acceptable; no matter what they may be.

I just read an interesting article by Ron Paul.
He make a lot of very good points, and it is a short article.

ECS and I have been having a chat about my statement about Bob Marley...

Not only did I help their show for Ziggy Marley (Bobs Son)... but I ALSO reallllly helped the rest of the Family do a show in Spartanburg SC FOR the remaining members of the Wailers.

Thi was held at a huge nightclub called "Ground Zero".


Anyway... I will share ECS's and my conversation for it was a good story about Ziggy.

 

[ARC]

Heck I have pictures and a short Vid clip... Digital cameras were just fresh out on the market and very few people had em... I did... the Sony Cybershot... first version.

Not Bob... he has already passed... Ziggy... his son.Was the promoter Gulf Artist? Just wondering if we knew some of the same people in the days of yesteryear past.No... I did the ticket sales and promotions for the State of S.C... the show I helped was at ... believe it or not... and I am not kidding you... Ziggy's Bar in Winston Slalem N.C.

I handled the S.C. area to promote the show.

Show was incredible and stands out in my mind.... this bar was this LARGE old wooden building... capacity was prolly 1,200... and I think there was 3,000 people in that place... like sardines.

Anyway... as soon as Ziggy and his 2 sons emerged... holy shiot the place came alive with spliffs and jumping straight up and down... I to this day cannot see how the building did not collapse for it was shaking and floor bouncing.

The next day I could not figure out why both of the backs and sides of my arms were sore and rashy.... then it dawned on me... it was from the dreadlocks rubbing up and down against me all night.

I mean when I say a show... holy shitola.

ARC,

So among your past efforts you were involved in promoting rock shows.....I'll have to dig up a song that fits the bill(play on words intended)....

 

[RustyRelics]

I am embarrassed to admit, I had to look Bob Marley up.

That is such a cool experience though! Glad the floors didn't break. But what's beneath those floors in an old city... hmm....

This plane has some special meaning to me. At top is the War Thunder version of Skylark IV, a P-38e Lightning fighter. Skylark IV was painted on Maj. Mark Shipmans plane, as he was the pilot. Robert T. Sand, was the man who painted it on the nose. I've read Roberts' war time experience as a ground crew member in the book Air Command, given to me by my grandfather when I was 9 or 10. When I saw the plane skin files were actually out there, I worked my way up to it, and finally succeeded in getting it last week, but do to bad weather and poor connectivity, I first photographed it today.

In the bottom picture, from left to right, are Armorer Sergeant Westman, and Crew Chief T/Sgt. "Fox" Nelson, 11/18/43.
