Well my wife has been retired for over a year now.

She has the itch to travel and see old friends - which I understand should be done while we're young enough o to do it.

Me ,I'm starting seeds and looking forward to my next season of country gardening.

Every year I learn what not to do wrong or what to do right - so it still is challenging I do really look forward to it.

So I'll have to skip it one year - more than likely be buying an RV and really travel hard - get it out of our system.

But this year I'll do it one more time up in Wisconsin - hopefully buy Mom's place and begin some much needed upgrades.

That'll probably tie me up for 5 years.LOL.

Here's what I think says it so well for me.

P.S. I was blessed with harvesting two deer last year and I put up 72 quarts of salsa - still quite a lot left.<smile>

Yet each morning the one thing I look forward to the most is firing up my charts and computer - guess I can do that anywhere though.

Its wonderful to get up each morning and do what you want to most - yet I feel there is so much to do and so little time.

One thing for sure - I'll do just one more garden than last year.

This year I'm taking the old skid steer I bought and rent a tiller attachment and recreate the garden my dad had for over 20 years.

It'll be good to till up those weeds that only thought they had reclaimed that space.

I've got the plan - 130 foot diameter with a rotating sprinkler on a 6 foot tripod and one more timer with 200 more feet of HD hose:

two types of squash: butternut and spaghetti
two types of cucumbers: green ice and Wisconsin picklers
two types of musk melon: el gordo and superstar
Texas sweet onions in the very center in concentric circles
Filderkraut cabbage for sauerkraut and cauliflower and broccoli on the outside perimeter for two outer rows
Lastly Yukon gold potatoes wherever I can fit them in order 40 sets.

Every thing is ordered and I can't wait.

If you can take a road trip - come visit in July / August.

My plants would like to hear a new voice by then. <smile>

Plan on making it over a weekend - show you some wisconsin country watering holes - where I'm sadly all too familiar.

I like a bar where I know almost everybody there.

I think your time window will give us some excitement here.

30 day clx has a tail wind for next week - mostly all negative numbers drop off 4 of 5 days - good for -34 points dropping off ove r4 days and the one positive day is only + 1

aydis is positive strong and should be getting heavy.

Mc Clellan summation suggests we're about to breakout into new high territory

2 cs says were about to peak out right here ( 5 day cum is 72 - that is a number that should be a top of a corrective wave in a downtrend) OR if vix stays low and put call well below 1.0 - we'll go to the mid 40's and that suggests we're entering into a new impulse up !

I still think the negative aydis we saw on 1/20 (aydis - 11.7 - 3 day) and 2/11 (aydis - 3.0 - 3 day) marked the iii and v waves of the final C wave of the bigger corrective wave down from mid July 2015.

Probably should take some chips off the table - but I think there could well be much higher ground accomplished next month after a short correction and my puts have a good chance of expiring to zero.

Here's to a nice break out day and an even better week end.

Thanks for the story of Montanna gardening.

Invitation is always there my SI friend of long!

Bob
