Crypto is crashing. Do at your own risk. The real winners got on bitcoin (mainly) before anyone took it serious.

Gold is a precious metal, but will always bounce around. Its more of a life savings thing that you will hope will make $10-100 more per ounce by the time you cash out vs what you paid. At least in my opinion. It is solid,.of course, versus printed money.

The only way to make good cash (get rich) is to do risky endeavors. The average person "plays it safe" and makes a small nestegg, while the large investors who are raking in cash, lose a lot, but hit big on some very risky investments.

To add to my previous post let me give a tad bit of trivia/info.

If things go to Hell in this country we can learn from the Soviet collapse. Things like gold, money, jewelry, etc had very little value. People wanted things like food (bread, rice) of course.. but one of the biggest items was soap. People wanted to be able to clean up. Followed closely after by alcohol.

So, hoard soap (laundry soap and body) and alcohol.

The laundry soap is easy.. you can make your own cheap with borax to hoard. I know this sounds like jokes, but it is not!

INVEST IN SOAP

Okay, so speaking of that. I was just using the bathroom and was thinking about what to add to the site.

What do you guys think of a gardening/prepping/lifestyle subsection? It could work on this website because weather plays an important role and we are a specific region so many tips and threads will apply to most everyone here.

And in theory, we could get new users interested in that kind of stuff and slowly turn them into snow weenies.

So who on here is an expert in cryptocurrencies? Good idea, bad idea? As an investment other than stocks crypto or metals (gold or silver)?

Well folks, spring time is not far away. The sun is now setting a minute later here than yesterday.

Yeah but evenings are getting longer. Sunsets are at their earliest in Early December. We are still losing daylight in the morning though.

This Sam Adams winter lager isn’t half bad. It’s no Dos Equis Amber though

“SER” the sun angle expert. Good thing we already capitalized on that low sun angle

I’m still having trouble uploading photos taken from my Iphone. As long as I “save image” from google I am able to post a picture. Other than that, I can’t post personal photos. Any help?

What's that old wive's tale about snow staying on the ground longer than three days brings more snow?

It’s if snow stays on the ground 7 days, it’s waiting for another snow.
