What kind of subject line were you running before the swap - was it actually just "February Newsletter" or did you try other variations first?

Yeah I get that completely. Watching your international stuff just sit there while US markets keep running is rough. Diversification is one of those things that sounds great in theory but in practice it can feel like you're just throwing money away. I've been there too with some of my own picks that just never seem to catch a break. All you can do is stick with the plan and hope the cycle turns back around eventually.

My buddy Mike did the exact same thing with a toilet auger.

Man that project is something else, I drive past it sometimes and it's wild to see how they move all that concrete and steel around like it's Lego blocks. The lattice boom crawlers are just insane, the stability they have even swinging massive loads is impressive. Its one of those things where you gotta respect the engineering behind it even if you don't do that kind of work yourself.

Knew a buddy who spent six hours trying to dig out a pyracantha stump in his backyard. Turns out it had a massive root system that went under his concrete walkway and he had to chip away at the slab with a sledgehammer. He texted me a photo of himself covered in mud and sweat with a thumbs down.
