Aw c'mon Art. let's have some of you're humorous stories about Maude and her new walker and how tough is for her to shovel the snow with it. I think she's kept you in the dog house so long you're getting grumpy.

If we had to rely on news to post here it would be a dead zone and I, for one, seldom check the off topic board.

Last Fri. morning, after we found that Tck had recognized Shaft Creek on their web site, there was just a little of the old excitement in the trading. I immediately sold a good dividend payer, at a price I normaly would have been buying it, and bought more CUU..dumb move, I already had enough and now I have less new money coming in.

I really believe the Galore sale will tie in with our takeout, and until it's settled we'll hang out like an old shirt on the clothes line. It's a waste of time calling the office as they can't tell us anything that might jeapordize the deal. so we wait, and wait some more.

I still have a little cash in case we go lower, meantime hoping for a nice Christmas present.....chunky
