It’s been a great day. I had a great day in the market, one of those stocks that popped was in my portfolio and that feels pretty good. Playing stocks like this is pretty amazing, stock tips are one thing you don’t want to keep to yourself because the more people that know can drive the price up. My problem is I get attached and don’t want to part with one that’s making me money. I’m (by nature) running for the long game but there’s money to be made on the short game too and you pick a few of those properly the egg grows quick.

It’s so nice to have the gym on line. I did 60 sit ups today. I’m strength training with weights and doing time on the treadmill. I’m sore but it feels good. I don’t know how long it’s going to take to see any results but I’ve made it so easy to put the work in it’s simple to do. I’ll keep doing the ad hoc thing but hopefully, it’ll lead to a program. Finally getting my gym body at 53, that sucks but better late than never.

Amazon Prime Day’s started at some point and I got a couple of things today. I got some FRS radios, I’ve always wanted them for camping. I can only think of one real time that it would have been needed, when we were descending Mae Peak in Colorado. I went strait down and she took the trail. But I can think of lots of times it would have been handy. The other thing that we got was personal water filters. These are the things that let you drink pond water through the filter in an emergency. One day I may be a hero for being prepared.
