gyd.v - the dumpola friday was all from one order, accounted for the great majority of volume for the day ... forget which house, but the tape i caught on the free stockwatch made it clear it was one player's decision, lord only knows why

cpt.v - no news yet ... ?!

segb.ob - converted the proceeds of sale from usd to loonies - ouch ... didn't account for the loonie rise in counting the baggers, it wasn't that great a trade after all

Heard a story last week, a couple got severely hosed converting euros to loonies .... long long story, core of which is, when dealing with a bank you have to ask all the questions first, and get the deal in writing

Trucks - i'd like an electric one ... not a hybrid, but a pure battery electric, with a small diesel generator mounted, maybe two or three horse only, highly efficient, two or three gallon tank that is easily filled from jerrycans

Four wheel drive, with portal wheel mounts like the Unimog - sixteen inches minimum clearance inside the tyres ... absolutely flat bottom below, waterproof ... everything modular so you can slide out batteries or generator or whatever and work on them - mechanics should be involved in design, they used to be .... nice squarish utilitarian design, true art like the old Hayes ... built solid but not too heavy, carbon fibre would be alright if it didn't turn to dust when it froze ... anyway there's a lot more specs, i've planned to make a post on the alternative energy thread, never got around to it ... willing to pay cdn50k for the right machine [but hey mister Toyota, try your offer!]
