SZUM, long....solar
Sorry I missed last week. We had nice weather & I've been out doing yard cleanup and other little things like that! Just keep in mind that our front/side yards are around 5 acres. There are 17 flower beds that range in size from about 10X10X10 triangle to an oval that is about 60X20 to another triangle that is 47X47X47. There are also 2 herb beds that are 5X5X5 at each of my clothes line poles AND 3' wide bed all around the house + one area from the corner of the house to the outer most deck corner AND the bed in front of my garden house fence that is 72X about 8'! There is also another bed that has 5 lemon trees, 2 loquat trees and a couple of flowers. I have 3 raised beds for veggies...one is 31X4 and the other 2 are 12X4 + a 30X5 area that is full of onions right now and an 8X7 area that is planted in potatoes. So you can see I have PLENTY to keep me busy!  I still have a bit more cleanup to do and then I have to start on getting my raised beds ready to plant, weed the onions (over 500 planted in Nov. & Jan.) and mulch the potatoes when they come up...I planted them on Valentines day. I have tomatoes, cabbage, celery & LOTS of flowers started in my garden house that will all need set out soon too! I also have several trees I have started from seed in there. Opps, forgot about the grape arbor bed...it will need mulch SOON too!
Today....it is pouring rain!  |

Bad start, wild swing, horse slid in the mud at the starting gate. KMI is a bad mudder. Hope tomorrow is a dry track

kadee66 leaps out of the gate in first place with an assist from architecto25. Value Buy is second and clarkrl2 has a nose in front of Ombud for third.

architecto25 has his horse running in the right direction now and is the new leader. kadee66 is second and ModE90 also rallied today to take the third spot.

KMI appears to have "bottomed out" if my chart reading has not gone completely off course. Nice rally today, but the question always remains will it continue to run in the upward direction. Well, next three days will tell the story.   |

I'm sure you'all have noticed; I select very fickle horses ......one day in the lead, next day in the basement. Seems about normal for me. Maybe I need to change their diet .........LOL. |

KMI quit running today. Must be from inhaling all the funny-smelling weed the trainers in the next stall were smoking last night.  |

architecto25 is still the leader as we move past halfway. kadee66 is a much closer second and clarkrl2 is the only other player beating the benchmark. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | architecto25 | L | XXII | $4.27 | $4.40 | 3.04% | | kadee66 | L | SZYM | $11.47 | $11.81 | 2.96% | | clarkrl2 | L | ACM | $30.26 | $30.65 | 1.29% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $90.14 | $90.23 | 0.10% | | Mod E | L | KMI | $32.28 | $32.17 | -0.34% | | Ombud | L | BSDM | $1.23 | $1.20 | -2.44% | | uncle.23 | L | ARWR | $22.63 | $21.94 | -3.05% | | Value Buy | L | CHK | $26.78 | $25.61 | -4.37% |

Thought KMI would dip worse than it actually did today. Perhaps another step up Thursday?  This one appears it is being attacked by the bears. Maybe they will ease up as it surely appears trying bottom out. Stock needs a nice break. Two days to go! |

So much for my horse hitting it's numbers. They are guilty of not pre-announcing a bad number. The board and ceo should be taken behind the barn and put down for malfeasance. |

Value Buy, ....but if checked some trading history on the stock prior to the release of numbers to the public, .... you'd probably find board members, their friends, their relatives, etc., etc. even perhaps their broker have recently traded on the "news". |

Nope, KMI just refuses to "bottom", with the sellers still stronger late today. One day left to gun down the bears. |

kadee66 is the new leader going into the final day and trying to make it a one horse race. architecto25 is in second and is being challenged by third place clarkrl2.

kadee66 takes a break from gardening long enough to pick out this week's winner. clarkrl2 rallied but it was only good enough for second. architeco25 holds on for third.
