Doing your own bacon is ridiculously easy and so much better than store bought. Buy a skinned pork belly from Costco. I place the belly in a plastic rubbermaid container - because its easier/cleaner than a freezer bag. I use a generic meat tenderizer/cure and make a light film on each side of the belly. Pepper the hell out of it. 1 can of Dr. Pepper or Coke. Put in the refrigerator for 3 days. Flip. Let sit for 3 more days. Wash before smoking - must do this!!! Smoke. You'll never buy bacon again.

I've done really well this year. I have a okay grasp on the market, but in the end, I'm really just guessing like most. Disney is my favorite stock I own. It's expensive, but I think its the most sure thing. The parks, the future streaming platform, and the enormous movies this year that are coming out. I made an enormous mistake with Chewy. I had never participated in trying to get in on an IPO or purchasing shortly after the stock hits the secondary market. Their IPO price I believe was 23. I set an alert to buy as soon as it hit 23.01 so I could purchase ASAP. It opened at $36.60ish. I bought the same amount of shares I was planning on purchasing at 23, at 36. But to add to that, my X amount of shares got purchased in 3 different transactions. One at 36, one at 38, and the largest at 39.80. This was great for a couple minutes, but I've been sweating bullets for about 5 days now. Today it rallied big time. I think its a great long play - the growth is outstanding, but also, they're also losing ridiculous amounts of money. Maybe the extra cash on hand will help with margins somehow??? I should have bought more SONO when I did too.

Neither of my trading firms were allotted any shares.

I'm going to miss out on CHWY's IPO because of demand.

Hopefully some got in when I did. I still think they're a long term buy.

I've been basically been putting 5% of my net income into UNH stock since 2011. Then my retirement accounts are solely invested into PRHSX. The long way of saying yes. Very good.

I'm late to the party, but I'm jumping in on Disney tomorrow morning prior to Wednesday's earnings report. 2019 is going to be all Disney. Their movie lineup might have 4, 1 billion dollar makers. With that said, I really like Sonos products. I think their Ikea collaboration is going to be a big hit for the company. I'm going to make a smaller trade on them too. Outside of a quick hit with Nintendo a couple years ago, my portfolio is invested in biotech/pharma - UNH being my strongest holding. I'm going to try to diversify a bit here now.

Is Paul Hogan doing the game with Dick? What the heck?

Saw Three Billboards this weekend. Personally, my favorite movie since Hell Or High Water. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't any resolution with Tyrion Lannister though.

If Hunter Green is as good as I've read, I'm going to be disappointed if they don't select him.

This place feels like Applebees. BYTO felt like Frat House. ESPN Message Boards felt like Boy's Home.

I think they're smarter than the program they run. But yeah, I listen for sex, fat, and fart jokes. I get why people would despise it. It's still better than listening to a middle aged white multi millionaire without a high school education talk about how bad he has it and how wrong you about everything in life any day of the week.

After looking at the Burl Ives album, weren't words like center, humor, and color switched to the Canadian spellings? I seem to remember that.

I get up at 4:30. I need irreverence in the morning.
