My wife just finished folding a basket of clothes. As she got up to put them away, she tripped and everything went flying. She cussed like a sailor. I saw it all unfold before my very eyes.

So you want to rely on the exception and not the rule? Great strategy 😂😂😂😂

Rely? No. It's just where we are. I'd rather hope we can Clemson/Michigan this thing than Dooley-Butch-Pruitt this thing again.

Positive thinking is far more enjoyable, especially when you have zero control over any of it.

Right there with you, looove scotch (having a Highland Park logo as my avi for many years may have been a giveaway) but I've been missing it of late. Was just going through way too much of it, decided a few months ago I'd better step away for a bit till I get my brakes back. These days I'll have a beer if I'm at a restaurant (margarita if Mex) but not keeping anything at the house.

What I need is a good special occasion!

There’s 16 special occasions coming this Fall… maybe just one drink to celebrate the win? But only if you can limit it to the one.


16-0 🤠

What else is it good for?

General brain health, too dry to list here.

Fun story about it though. I was taking a higher dose of a very high concentrate than I should have. On a handful of occasions, I'd wake up seeing various images...but my eyes were closed. Persisted longer than a dream, but eventually faded. Creeped me out at first, but was harmless. When I cut back the dose, it stopped. They aren't hallucinogenic, but clearly they are active in the brain. At lower dose I sleep better and dream more.

Have absolutely no dog in this fight. But it does seem like your built-in premise lies in the idea that gutted businesses in year four are more valuable than long term viable businesses, which doesn't make any sense.

There's nothing wrong with buying a business to grow it and then sell it. I think there's a world where all interests align there between employees, management, and ownership. The failures of PE firms seems much more simple to me. Buying businesses where the new ownership and management doesn't know enough about the business to grow it.

That was certainly the case with the first company I worked for. They were bought, and a ton of money came in to grow the business. But they tried to expand our market share in areas that were not our expertise, and were never going to work. In that case, the "gutting" never came. But if it had, I think it would have made more sense to blame the bad growth plan, not to say it was the plan all along.

You're living in the theoretical. Reality is much different. PE is infamous for buying a business, changing everything, then gutting it to sell it when they inevitably don't have as much success as the original owners because they don't have all the components of success as the original owners. And the first act in a gutting is headcount. The P&L looks REALLY good for a year when you lay off a bunch of people. Then they sell it before the consequences of that bite them. There are literally thousands of case studies out there with this exact scenario.

Aren’t they supposed to be really good for focus and clarity?

Diphenhydramine is the WORST! It gives me horrible dreams, then I'm wide awake after 3 hours and can't sleep the rest of the night.

Doxylamine (orange unisom, also found in nyquil but NOT ZZquil) is my go to. I take a half pill 2 hours before bed, it keeps me asleep all night, and I wake up feeling refreshed the next day. Once a month or so if I get behind on sleep I'll do that.

It gradually makes you drowsy instead of hitting you like a truck, and rarely do I feel groggy the next day.

Thanks I'll try it out and see if there's grogginess.

It seems our hatred for diphenhydramine is mutual. Absolute skibidoo toilet rizz

Don’t put off for this afternoon that which you can do first thing in the morning when you wake up because you’ll spend the afternoon painting the pergola and will likely miss the commitment.

Well I do have to mow the yard, and get something to put on the grill this evening.

Rushin, I'm guessing you're old enough to have watched these shows at first airing because Ty Hardin was the star of Bronco, which rotated with Sugarfoot in the same time slot on ABC for 4 years. Cheyenne was in the mix too, as Bronco was a spinoff from it. But that would explain the association!

Those shows ran in the late 50s, early 60s and I wasn't even born till '65. I watched Sugarfoot in syndication in the early 70s. And I actually just learned that info about the shows on Wikipedia when I was trying to figure out what Ty Hardin was in. Show me a rabbit hole, I'm diving in.

You guessed correctly! I probably watched every Western aired on TV. It was my Dad’s favorite genre and became mine as well.

Slight regression today. Yesterday was Hendon Hooker. Today was Joe Milton. Tommorow shoot for more Nico and less Guarantano.
