    McNally Robinson, Morden’s and the Mint. Magically the system that sells bullion goes down the week GOLD and SILVER POP! Passport photos done! But still waiting for the other paperwork. Steve Jobs was just a MANAGER! He didn’t code. But, he got people to work together. He got voted out of Apple in the 80’s because he was being a dick, which would later manifest in his next start up NeXT in which he spent LOTS of money… and failed horribly. But he did get a good deal on Pixar. And what’s this five-legged stool you talked about from your Dad?

    How ya feeling, Steve? Cat got you going? Apartment negotiations continue… what will I settle for? About those gyms, is there only one? No. Quite a few but no others with the actual workout equipment. Any update on the Chinese work visa… NO! What are the books you’re reading right now?

    Another battle with the cat, or is the kids? Or… the plants? Out for a bike ride in the evening, found a river trail that I’d never even thought to have existed. Ran to the library today to get the run in and done, then some slam ball action. And, Steve, you talk a lot about stocks. Where’d you learn this all from? -Dad - the idea that you can make money in stocks and that you have “lots of time” -Books - the different concepts available and ideas for trades -Real life experience - what works and what doesn’t, and how to make it all work Donate to the show!

    If a tree falls on a car during a rainstorm, does anyone hear it? It doesn’t matter. That will be one bad sight in the morning. Hot and humid and we’re sweltering all day! Except for me, cause I’m inside! Hot coffee notwithstanding, it’s kinda nice! The landlord makes contact, what should I do? How hard of a bargain should I drive for? Working on a YT video… these are taking a while BUT… gotta make it interesting. Want to be a filmmaker, then learn some story telling. Podcasts listens DOWN but EPISODE COMPLETION RATE steady at… 100%! DONATE NOW! And how is that market doing? TSLA down to overbought, MSFT jumps on some news, microchips getting slammed, and Chinese stocks up or down? (August usually has a bad beginning for stocks.) Donate to the show!

    All caught up? My apologies for the episodes being so long! This tends to happen with travel episodes. I’m wondering if I’m okay with the show going on for so long since there are no breaks throughout… maybe I should add some?? Workouts in… kinda. Did 6.5km run yesterday morning in 43 min 20 sec, today only did a 2.5 km run in 20 min 21 sec and then picked up the old slam ball that was on the back porch and tossed that around for 20 minutes. Thinking, will I get to the gym here or not? Steve, what were those lessons you learned on the farm? Three Golden Rules of Working on a Farm 1. Don’t make work for the boss 2. Don’t run unless there’s fire 3. When in doubt, stop and think. 4. Don’t make work for the boss’ wife. And an unexpected death in the podcasting family… John C. Dvorak. Long time columnist and podcaster passed away last Sunday after recording the No Agenda show. Shocked and saddened by his passing. Donate to the show!
