I live by the following mottos:
I am a lifestyle business, where business is a lifestyle.
If I wake up, I had a good night. If I go to bed, I had a good day. The alternative is bad.
I do what I like, am good and profitable at, and can control.
Hard times breed hard men, good times breed soft men. It’s always been that way.
The hubris to think that one can control the sun, tides, and rotation of this ball of mud we call earth, is beyond rational.

I oppose all corporate, political, and charitable entities and individuals who refuse to support Ukraine in their fight for freedom from the rogue Russian state of communism.
I am your 60s and 70s muscle car driving dad. I fall into the category of American males who believe in reading, working, staying fit, and engaging with those who can critically think. We didn’t invent anything. Not a damn thing. We did improve on a lot of things that have been around for a long time. You see, there’s nothing new under the sun, but we can improve a little bit here and there for the next generations. Go put that in your pipe and…
Think About It

Control is critical and yet elusive in the scheme of things. We each take our turn in the kettle of bad luck, resulting in some going to pot while others make stew. The bottom line: If one wakes, the night was good. If one goes to bed, the day was good. It’s never more complex. Carry on. It’s life.
“My blog, and the majority of my podcasts and videos are exclusively for those who are clients.”
BLOG
There are several reasons why I have created a private rather than public blog. The primary reason is that I prefer to chat, engage, and be around those who are partners, associates, clients, explorers, and friends. I will not share my thoughts and feelings with acquaintances, the meaningless, or enemies. I am not worried about being judged, hassled, or bullied; I am a big boy with thick skin. Instead, I see no benefit in giving away my time, effort, aggravation, or money to those who are unappreciative users and a drag on life. This blog is a tip of the information iceberg of forecasting, economics, and insights provided to clients.
