So … I go to Sears today to buy a present for a friend, a set of woodworking chisels. Craftsmen, can’t go wrong right? I go in and the place is like a tomb, only a few customers, outnumbered by staff. The Craftsmen chisels they have are Made in China and look real cheap, they look like Kmart specials. So I go over to Home Depot and they have chisels, made in America, at a better price and much better quality and I get those.

Obviously Sears could source their chisels in the US but chooses not to. When Sears goes BK their “lifetime” warranty on Craftsmen tools will mean nothing.

We have the Blueridge Mts, Ocean shores, and a little bit of everything in between. Stone Mtn is still a good day trip for young and old alike. I have been waiting for it to cool off a bit before I take my blanket and bucket of KFC and watch the Laser show & Fireworks. This video does not even come close but gives you an idea to why millions have enjoyed this uniquely southern event.

Ok, Im outta here. Its football season and I am heading to another great Southern tradition, Friday night High School Football!  The young man who cuts the yard is the Quarterback at that local high school and I promised him I would be there to watch him play tonight. Mostly, Im hoping to meet his parents and tell them what a great job they are doing raising a hard working and well mannered man. Plus, think its a great way to start the weekend. Best, Farmboy

We snuck some nice gains in today, now we can take the weekend to enjoy them.

Here are five of the most outrageous statements Clinton made in that three-and-a-half hour FBI interview:

1. She cited her 2012 concussion as the reason that she cannot remember details of briefings during her “transition out of office.”

2. She said she never even thought whether emails she exchanged on a future U.S. drone attack should be classified.

3. She said she thought the “C” before a paragraph indicated alphabetical order. The C actually stands for “classified.”

4. She said no one ever raised concerns to her about her use of a private email server.

5. She said she could not recall any training on how to handle classified information.”

Comment: First, its hard to believe CNBC posted this article since they, like most of the media, are big Hillary fans. A tip of the hat to CNBC for acting like journalist’s on rare occasions. Second, if you dont think these 5 points are of concern to her election, please read the full article. And last, while this news (See Drudge for much much more) has a long holiday weekend to ‘go away’, I predict the markets are going to take a dump on tuesday. I picked up a load of Short Dow shares (SDOW) in the last minute today, so lets see what happens. I think this latest Hillary news is going to play big on Tuesday morning as the markets freak out that she is really in trouble. It will not be all fun and games this weekend in the Hamptons. More like, OMG !!

I think it was around 2002 the last time I was in Georgia. Someone out there has got a pic of me sitting next  to a clown down town that I walked up to t tak to one of them,  That clown didn’t talk was like a mime. A Afro American. Actually can’t remember lawas so busy in those years. I liked it there but wasnt there in the summer though.  Plus a short distance to the Islands with great resturants. You can’t even get a whole lobster here not to mention the meal with it for 19 bucks like the islands if you know where to go. Cost much more here. Yeah  aware your a meat potatoes or you think your starving kind of guy. That’s why I thought it up to find someone already did. Lol Sometimes I wonder when they say factors for likg llofe aside from doing things to go against it are being a man. Is it being a man or his diet. They think fruits ” less in sweets” and vegetables are for rabbits. I bet you’d love the Brazilian resturants. They give you a  sign to say stop or they keep bringing you meat slices of different kinds. Chillies are part of a group that has a certain degree of Neuro toxins in them. When I learned that it was about over with chili. Before then I could keep up with the best of them lol

Your mushroom burger sounds good.

not editing the screen just jumping all over the place.

You know, it is possible when we all gather here for coffee Tuesday morning, Silver is $20.00. Fun to watch what Asia does Monday without the Crimex Boyz around.

Good to see some strength as the after burners kicked in today. finally !

FBI releases Hillary Clinton email investigation documents

“The FBI on Fri

day released a detailed report on its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, as well as what appears to be a summary of her interview with agents, providing the most thorough look yet at the probe that has dogged the campaign of the Democratic presidential nominee.”

even better than adding a can of Red Bull to the coffee pot. Powerful stuff you brewing up there.

We be looking good in the PM patch today. Just need to hold on to some of these gains going into the close. And good to hear you are getting a small break in the storm. Just need Treefrog to check in when he gets the chance.

Thanks for the info on the software grabber. Figures, I probably got the laziest one. Sometimes it grabs em, sometimes not. Who cares as long as the PM’s keep grabbing traction.

I have accepted almost every kind of diversity and culture when it comes to food. I honestly can tell you I will eat nearly anything, as long as it’s wrapped in bacon. And are you pulling my leg? Folks pour bacon drippings down the drain ? How the hell they gonna make sausage  gravy for their buttermilk biscuits ?

Seriously , I am trying to eat better and appreciate your looking out for me. By the way, when is the last time you have visited Atlanta? I think our population has become quite diverse in all cultures and culinary experiences. A group of friends are planning on dining at a Moroccan restaurant in the coming weeks. And one of my favorite hang outs is a small Thai place. Im pretty sure those spices keep the tubes cleaned out. 🙂

And let me tell you, for a red meat kinda guy, I have perfected the Portobello Burger into some mighty fine eating. My ‘Secret’ is an overnight soak in Italian Dressing marinate. Soooo Good it will make you wanna smack your mama.

1.) Farmboy is UP

2.) Gold & Silver is UP

3.) LESTER is tracking to the Northerly side, widening the gap to Hawaii a bit.

Farmfrog:  Animated GIFs work fine on the Oasis… provided they are running when you post them.  Some graphics software will only grab ONE stillframe, though.  The problem likely is with your graphic software that ‘grabs’ the GIF and only takes one frame, instead of the whole sequence of frames.  My railroad flashers are all animated GIFs.

Stay Safe Out There !

Yep Calif focuses on lower fat diets but it’s not always practiced. Maybe that’s what’s wrong with some people minds. Plus too many fast foods on every corner literally. Like someone said once you asked the young what would you do if the stores were empty theyd say go to a fast food. The difference is except some Mexican food it’s less spicy and doesn’t use lard. Lard is not too good for you. Yep I know people used to make sandwiches out of it. But it doesn’t get that cold here. I figure if you don’t pour it down the sink so it won’t clog up the pipes you don’t want to pour it in your body. There are healthier ways to get cholesterol. Just a balance of how much. Calif is a blend of every culture cooking so we’re used to diversity  but the problen is that some cultures thanks to Demos open borders would like to take over if they could.  But.  in some ways it’s harder because there is such a large diversity they can’t target out one culture to demonize like their trying to do in the south. ” If you let them.”

I think Id have to take a class on that information but good to know. That’s one thing up can do if you own a apple. For 99 a year you can go in any time you want and tell them what your going in to learn ahead of time and get one to one.  I signed up for it once but was too busy to go. Apple stores here are so busy even with a appointment you have to wait on top of it. But it’s better than taking a class because you can learn what you want or need to learn.

Harbinger of a crisis: the US market for luxury property crashes The US housing market has slumped dramatically in the luxury areas: In the Hamptons, in Miami or in Aspen many top properties found no buyers. This phenomenon is considered a harbinger of a profound economic crisis.

Thanks for the hints.

Be very careful on what you click on. Always think about the scammers that are out there. The biggest threat today is probably cryptolocker. Once these guys get you, well it’s over unless you want to pay a bitcoin ransom to get your information back (sometimes people pay the ransom and still can’t decrypt). The cryptolocker virus encrypts your hard drive information, there’s no work around for it. Always do system backups! Burn information to disks make a back up disk too.

Store information in several places. Get a subscription to Dropbox, where you can move information to the cloud. Use removable hard drives. If it’s not stored in 3 places it does not exist.

If you see you have popups, Control+Alt+Delete and go into the task manger processes list and close it there. Never click on pop up windows. If you don’t believe me, well click away.

Lastly wireless keyboards ARE NOT SAFE! If you have one, throw it away!! Want someone taking every keystroke you type? Then use a wireless keyboard.

Never use free internet ANYWHERE! It’s free for a reason. Don’t trust the black hatters!!!

I’ve been using CCleaner by Piriform recently to scrub. Don’t bother buying it, use the free version. Disable the “system monitoring” feature check box under monitoring once installed.

Lastly use superantispyware to scrub your machine often.

I think that they are, in general, as emotionally stable as the general population. They simply go in the direction where they feel their bread is buttered best.

Apple has released an urgent update to its desktop operating systems and the Safari web browser to block a hack that could have turned the machines into spying tools.

The security flaw affects the El Capitan and Yosemite Mac operating systems, and is the same that could have let hackers take complete control of iPhone devices, which Apple fixed with the iOS 9.3.5 update last week.

The Silicon Valley giant quietly released the update to the Mac software and Safari a week after its iPhone patch without addressing the delay.

Apple has urged customers with devices that are not running iOS 9.3.5, OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan and 10.10.5 Yosemite to update their software immediately to protect potential malicious actors from spying on them.
