Hi Swede, I am always glad to get a wake up call from you, just checked a gold basket (fund) which looks good at this point to get into . Are you looking at that other gold, Potash?

About shortages of gasoline, haven't you bought yourself an electric chainsaw yet?! (anyway a gas one uses very little petrol ) As far as gas for cars, where do you think you will go? Disco died a long time ago and unless you are into S&M or ultra-violence the streets will not be for the likes of thee or me:)

Here is something from Lao Tze somewhat on this point:

Gravity is the root of lightness; stillness is the ruler of movement.1
Therefore a wise prince, marching the whole day, does not go far from his baggage wagons. Although he may have brilliant prospects to look at, he quietly remains in his proper place, indifferent to them. How should the lord of innumerable chariots carry himself lightly before the kingdom? If he do act lightly, he has lost his root; if he proceed to active movement, he will lose his throne.

Lao Tze

Hi CR
I am 100% in goldbullion and goldstocks(can´t loose much there). Potash?? what´s that?
As for gasoline, i need it for my floatplane. Other transportation needs i can manage with electrical bike during summertime. During winter time a little gasoline could be needed for my car until i have bought an EV.

100% gold, now with that in the pockets you will keep your feet on the ground and whistling a merry tune, but Swede, Swede, one can't chop wood with a float plane .... loose too many fingers that way and then you have all that wet wood and that's not a practical way to carry water IMO:)

What's Potash ? It is the golden substance that puts muscle to the rutabaga, clear sight to the carrot and tells the woodman to spare this tree. If you don't believe me ask totoneila.

Now that is one fine chap for the "yoicks , yoiks , tallyho me lads, follow that potash critter down it's Saskabush hole".

OK, now i know what potash is. Never heard of it before. Here in Sweden you get salt from the supermercado.
BTW i have electrical woodchoppers. But i usually buy the firewood cheap already chopped and delivered home. We have a group of mentally undeveloped guys here who does the job in the communitys supervision, so that they have some meaningful work to do.

CR,
The Bushman and the Hillabeast suspended the law of gravity and have a theory that the Kondratieff winter will be offset by global warming.

Hi musashi,

Don't you mean Global Smarming? Lot of that going round, did you see our Minister of the Environment, Baird, in Bali smarming all over global warming! He for sure has been playing kiss kiss with Bushman. Don't know if Hillabeast is in on that as well but if you find out that's a 'for sure', next year, let us know and we'll put an extra ice cube on the barbie for ya.
