Let me know if you hear me. Let me know if you see the screen. So welcome. Tonight I thought I would just do a little question answer. So free for all here. I haven't done this at all this year. I think I only ever did it once. I thought it would be good. Maybe people would ask me questions about gaps, general questions, questions about specific stocks, maybe something you're in, maybe something you want to take, the class, whatever. Any questions you have, you can feel free to ask me. I have no set time here. It's just I didn't know how many people will come. I didn't know what you'd want to talk about. I have up here the one from today, which was the Nike, which ended up working. I got some emails from a few of you people that said you stayed with it. We can go over that. It was a hard one today, though, that's for sure. But we can talk about whatever you want. Galahad said he's not in anything. That's OK. At least you're safe in London. That's a good thing. How did I learn the strategy? Well, I created my own point system. So the actually gaps, gaps themselves have been around forever. So I just created a way to read the gap, which was the points, the 26 points. Because when I started trading, I did one class when I first, first started. And of course, the class did touch on gaps, but it also touched on lots of other things, like buying support, like shorter resistance, other kinds of gaps, which I no longer believe there are, but even though people do teach them. So in one class, the only class I ever took, I did learn a broad-based, you know, technical analysis view of reading charts. But I found that when I was trading that I didn't have the consistency in any of the different strategies I learned, and I wasn't making money. And then one day I did a gap trade. I think it was Netflix, actually. And it was a short. And I made a lot of money, and it was a gap. And then I realized that I made a lot of money because it was a gap, but I didn't know what I was doing. And so then I just determined that I wanted to do gaps. And then it was like a back-and-forth process to figure out why did certain ones work, why didn't other ones work. And it was just a process of elimination, seeing the ones that worked and seeing the ones that didn't. What was the one last week, Gala, had that you said didn't work? It was off last week. What was the one you said did not work? I mean, the one that comes to mind, I'll just talk about this while you write it in the room, was the one that I did do. And I did take a loss in, which was on the day of the actual gap, which was target. I took a loss in this as a short. This is actually a good example here, because this was, gosh, it's February right now. February 28th, let me go back. This is target. Okay, so target gap down. This was in the morning, and I love this gap as a short. So here is the morning at 8 a.m., so I rated the gap in the pre-market in the morning here. Let me find 9.30. So here was 9.30, but do you see that 9.30 it rallied, and it rallied all the way up, went over the high. Here it is 11.30, and I got stopped. So I took a stop in this and it never reset up. I didn't do it twice. It never, it never worked. It was a bust. This was the day Gallahad was here. I forget what I told Gallahad to do that afternoon. What did you do in the afternoon here, Gallahad? You took the stop in this. Did I tell you to do a second trade in this this day? That was the day Gallahad was here, and I forget if I had him do something else. I know I didn't have you do this again. It was a stop. The room took a stop, and Gallahad, did I have you do a second trade? I forget. I forget too. Anyways, it never reset up again. But it was a good gap. So this was a stop on the day as a day trade. The next day I called it as a put, it went. I mean, it went all the way down. The put though expired last Friday. I told everybody to get out in here. They kept going a little bit more, and then it kept going. You could have done a second put in it. So anyways, the interesting thing is that, you know, about gaps in general, is that people play them all different kinds of ways that are day traders. I'm just talking about day traders here, because that's what we are. So if you look at this as a long, and the day that it gaped down, you made money. I looked at it as a short, I lost. But in the end, I was right. I got the directional bias of target right, based on my gap rating, because the directional bias of target was a short. But if you went long that day, Galahad did when he was here, he lost money. But then he did the put, and he made good money on it. So you see here, that target is lower. Target is in a downtrend. And it pushed back a little bit here today. Back what was alone, let me just see what it was. It broke 53, I think 52, 52.77, but this is definitely lower. I'm not saying shorted here today. It was a shorter ready back up there. But the interesting thing is that, the gap rating method that I figured out, works just as well for long-term trades as it does for day trades. But sometimes the day trades fail. You lose money in the day. It'd be shorter this year, but then you can do it as a put, or a swing trade, and it follows through. Because I'm really not following what most day traders are doing in these gaps. I'm trying to look what the institutions are doing. And the fact is they sold this gap into the gap itself. The night before it closed at 666.91. And it gap down here and it opened at 57.41. It gap down $10 plus overnight. That was not made by just people like you and me. That was made by a huge amount of massive money that came into the stock on the day, and gapped it down.  There's four o'clock, here's 8 a.m. How does something go from here to here? It gets sold off in a big, big way. Look at the volume in this bar. So it's 956145. It's hard to believe that because you see the bar here, and it doesn't look like much to be concerned with because the body of the length of the body bar is a tiny baby. But the high of this bar is 6020, and the low is 5690. And look at the volume that happened in this 15 minute bar. Huge. So it's not closed here, and then boom. It gapped down in the morning, and this was an earnings gap. So, you know, today, today was, took a long time to make money. It worked, but we made money. This here was a loss, but you know, I created my strategy based on doing gaps, you know, and seeing how they were working and then seeing something different and what a lot of other day traders were seeing and combining it together over a period of about three years. But gaps themselves happen all the time. It's just a lot of people don't know how to trade them. I think somebody in the room today asked about the one, Aleem asked about it. Was it Aleem? No, it was Rashad. He was saying it was doing a scoop, like a bucket or a, I don't know what he said, I forget, around something he said here, here, here, here, here. But he was worried about it. He was like, it's making a round little bubble. But do you see how that didn't mean to buy it and how the stock fell then? Here's a one minute chart. So I'm watching the one minute for the entries when I'm playing the daily. G-E-S, that was last week. All right, look at that. Rashad isn't here, he's been in a trial. I forget what time zone he's in. No, I don't use any Fibonacci's at all. I've never used Fibonacci's and actually I don't, I don't. This is a 200 per moving average. Here, well, this is a 200 per moving average, simple. This is a 50, this is a 20, this is an eight. That's it. These are simple per moving averages. I don't have anything else. I got the white background, the price, moving price over here, we're closed. So this isn't moving. Volume down here, clock. Always have the clock. I do not use Fibonacci's, I don't use any of these things. You can go into this jiggy. I mean, look at it, you can pick anything, anything you want. Bolinger bands, I mean, people love all kinds of stuff. Pivot points, I don't use any of these things. I don't even know what half of them are. I don't even care. I think that the cleaner, the cleaner, the cleaner that you can look at what the price is, the better it is for you to focus on like what we did here today, which was what was happening here is the stock really getting bought in the scoop or is it just doing a retest and getting ready to hold and sell off? So I'm watching this trade and I'm reading it. And it's hard to say now because it's flat, but you can kind of tell looking at the bars and I'm so used to reading this here. So I'm reading it as it's happening based on the gap rating, but I still have to read it for the entry. I'm saying it's not getting bought with power money. So I short it and it's based on the gap rating anyways, but no, I like clean charts. That was a weird move up, but really it was a retest, a retest to the resistance, which helped. And I did kind of talk about that in the room because I said it's a ceiling, it's holding, it's holding down, down, it's holding itself down. You do realize this took a lot of pressure to hold this sucker down today. It worked. In fact, let's just look where it was. Where, here, I said 55, 5510 was a stop. I should have just put it there from the beginning on the why I didn't do that. But here, here, here, here, here, here, here it is. Look, in fact, let's make it even bigger. It's easier to look at it now that it's flat, but here look, or closed, I mean. See, look, this is it. That was the number, I was right, it was 55. I should have just put it there from the beginning, but whatever. Sometimes I try to get the smaller stop, but in this case here, this was really the area. And it helped. So very obvious here. Very obvious. I saw this in the morning, that's why I said the number. Anyways, here it is. So do you see it takes pressure to hold this here? This really looks lower now too, actually. I think this could even fall through tomorrow because it did break, it did break the low. It broke 54. It broke it by more than a penny. And this is the ceiling. This is the resistance. This is the ceiling now that it's holding. The stock's lower. Could be temporarily lower, could drop like target for a month. You don't know. You follow it through. But I play the gap itself on the day, which is what we do. Show me in a chart to explain the shield. Oh, you want to look at shield now? I thought you're still talking about Nike. Did you do this? This, I didn't do anything with then. Fact I completely forgot about it. I never even looked at it again then after the morning. Here, it did end up setting up. Here, it took forever though, it looks like. It had the move. This had a small stop as well. It looks like weird open. I don't like this at all. Is this what you're talking about here? It's bizarre. I don't like the space here between these bars from the close and the open. That's weird. I don't like this either. I don't like any of this. The first one, two, three, four, five minutes I think looks strange in this. Didn't touch us today. But anyways, you could have shorted this here. You could have shorted this here. Where did it go? You could have made 25 cents or something like that. If you held it, held it, held it. Could have tried to make 40, 50 cents. I mean you would have had to hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, to 1115 to really get more out of it. Well if you use Fibonacci's and they help you then that's fine. If you use them and they're fine with you then keep doing them. I don't wanna do anything different than what I'm doing because I'm in such a good groove here now. I just like the cleanliness of charts. I've talked about this before. If I would take off, here let's look at the daily. I'm probably the only person that I know that could live without any of this stuff. Here, let's take them off just to show you. I've done this before in the class. It's funny when you do. I could still trade like that. Most people couldn't. Just looking at moving price. Just reading it in the gap itself. So I don't wanna put anything else in my charts. But if you use something now and you like it then go with it. I don't have a problem with that. But it's still the gap that I'm doing. Okay, let's go look at, what do you wanna look at here? You wanted to look at GES. Hold on, let me just reset this up here. If you have something that you use that helps you that can combine with my method that will make you a stronger trader, do it. I don't wanna change what I'm doing because I'm doing well. But in reference to other people doing different things like some people love the fundamentals, they combine the fundamentals with the technical analysis. Go for it. I don't look at any of that stuff either but it definitely works for people. Gives people more conviction. It doesn't do anything for me. All right, GES, we did look at this. I forget what I said, 316. I think we looked at this Monday but I forget what it did here. Let me just look again. A lot sold into that level which held it down. You're talking about the Nike today. Yes. This was perfectly valid here. Is this where you did it, Galahad? This was valid. Then it ran up. Then it looked good here again, looked good here again, dropped. We did talk about this because it said this doesn't look great and then this takes you off of it. So if you did this here, you would have gotten stopped. If you go right back into it again, you're up, here's where you get stopped, right there. Oh, you got stopped here. All right, well then you got the one stopped. So you didn't go back into it. It looks like that was a good idea. Not with your R for the day. I thought you were lowering your R until you built your count up. Yeah, here's a great example. Similar to, not as good as Target because that just broke like a band sheet but this was a good gap down, failed on the day, held, held, held, now selling off now. So you could be in this short. This looks lower. So again, one that failed as a day trade but worked in the longer term picture. I found that I should start tracking those. That's what I should track. That every gap down that I rate and like and fails as a short on the day, I should almost take a swing trader and put in it. I really, I really honestly should. It's really interesting. The ones that never set up and I don't lose any money and then don't set up or open the reverse, wish or don't do anything right. That's a different story. But I'm talking about the ones that rate well and they set up and I take them and then I get stopped. I should almost just leave it, wait for the next day, follow it through as a continuation gap or do a put or swing trade in it because I mean it's just uncanny. How well then these things will go then after they fail. The ones that rate good I'm talking about that I end up taking stops in. I could probably make all the money back from even the ones I've lost in for that and more. I mean, Target, this was unbelievable. This was crazy. I should have called that out for more than a month. I only did it to the 17th. I was just thinking a quick one but this could have been well into April here. This is gonna go to $50. Nike sold off hard. Okay, we're going back to Nike. Are you talking about Fibonaches? See, I just don't know about these. Nike was sold off hard and did not make it back to the 23.6%. Shield had a bigger bounce up, okay.  Like I said, I don't really track that stuff well. And nor do I think it has anything to do necessarily with again the one minute. For example, this isn't the same situation. This chart, now look at the chart. Memorize it. Yeah, you can email me one. Memorize this chart. Boom, there it is, Nike.  Now go to this one here. Look at it. It's not the same. So it's hard when people ask me questions because it's so funny. Day traders are so funny. Or traders in general, I mean everybody. Everybody wants to be black and white. You know, my system has the ratings but it's a six point cushion. So there's a variance, okay. One thing rates 20 points, one thing rates 23. You know, there's a variance here. Some things are better than others. I always say that. Not every gap is created equal. Everything is in black and white. Every chart looks different. I can't say everything that gaps down, 18.2 and a half percent is a short. I wish it was that easy. I wish it was that easy to just boom. But it's not. Everything is different. Even the way they open and trade, the way they open and trade has to do also with the placement of the gap on the daily chart, which what my expectation is for what it's supposed to do, which would have been different for Target than for the one today, the Nike. Cause the charts are different. And you can see they're different. What make you have conviction that Nike was going more after the bounce at one PM? Well, I was out of it this afternoon. I didn't play this into the close. Did you? I did not get this last jiggy here. I mean, you know, I held it a long time for Pete Sakes. What's your question here? First of all, the only thing I can say, first of all, I did not get this last piece. I got out of it in here. When it broke the low, and then started coming back up, I was out. I was happy with that. So I didn't get this last dune. If you did great. Anyways, the fact is, how would you have known it was gonna do this? Well, watching the 15 minute chart, watching it whole and all, and also that you know that it's already continued anyways. It's already continued, it already broke. It broke the low. It's right on the day. I did say it was never gonna go over the high. Remember that? Even when it back up here. This literally got with a nine cents. And I was still in this a 1030 or 1045 or whatever time it was when it held in here. I said, there's no way. This isn't gonna flip. No, it won't do it. It won't go and flip. It won't go over that number. It won't do it and it didn't.  Whether or not it keeps going or not, you just have to watch the stock and see where it's straight, but one o'clock is not 330. You do have time left in the day. You've got three hours left in the day. The stock isn't not gonna move. So based on that, it should follow through in the continuation of the direction that it's gone for the day, where it's gonna go or what time it halts, you have to watch it and see you don't know. You don't know. You don't know. You watch it, you get the move. I chose to get out. I held it a long time. I did a good job with this today. So, I mean, come on, but it did keep going here. So how do you know you watch a trade? You don't know you have the next target or ready broke the low? What did the market do? I didn't watch this in the afternoon because it wasn't still doing anything, but let's look, market didn't do anything in the afternoon. Market held, basically, but didn't really rally. Let's look at the cues. Yeah. Wow, what did I say this morning? I said, it's gonna be interesting to see what the market does today. It's gonna tell a lot. And then I said, well, the market doesn't seem to be showing any interest of today to do anything significant at all, but you know what, this looks bullish. If we gap down tomorrow, we're gonna fall some more. If we gap up, we're gonna hold and rally, but it could take a couple of days to do it. And if all we have is a sell-off that we had yesterday, this market is crazy bullish. And I was surprised the way we sold yesterday. I thought we should have held and we didn't, but today we tried to hold a lot. And if we gap up tomorrow, we will. It's very interesting. The strength in the market is almost amazing to me. A case, if you're willing to risk the figure, figure of what? Are you back on the Nike? The amount of money you're up on the day? Are you still talking about this thing here? This push down from 215 to 245?  You could have lowered your stop to 50 for a 50. You're still what I got now with profit.  You wait all day for this to break the low. It does. It could have collapsed. It didn't. It was a choice. I don't know what you mean by risk your figure. You lost me what you mean by that. Does anyone else have any other questions? This is a good discussion here, though. I don't know what you mean by risk your figure. You're up on the trade. You can't lose unless you don't get out.  Look, the stock closed at 53.93. The entry in this was almost a dollar away. It was a good call today. It was hard to do and I really did a great job in this. I dug my heels into the dirt and made something of it. You didn't want to lose anything the risk amount. Oh, you're talking about doing a second trade. Is that what you're talking about? You're talking about getting back into it. Is that our third trade here, actually? You're talking about taking a 15 minute. I don't know what you mean. It never went back into anything into negative territory here. If you enter the stock up here in the 70s, this never pushed back over 45. The high here was 46. You lost me here.  It never went back to even break even. What do you mean? I don't understand what you're talking about here. If you lowered your stock, what's the question? Then what? If you lowered your stock, where? To 54.50 or 54.75-ish. After today, I'm never lowering my stock again. I say that every time. First of all, I'm tight on my stock to begin with. And sometimes when I'm too tight, I always regret it. I'm like, why did I do that? If you want to take in a loss at 54.52, where are you getting that? You mean if you put it here? The stock dropped and broke. Broke, the real target was 54. Came down, bounced at 54.10-ish or something like that. If it would have rallied up here, you wouldn't give back 40 cents. What's the difference between where you mentored it and where the area was here? 25 cents, approximately. So you would have given back more than 50% of the profit of the trade. Does that make sense? The answer is no. Why? Because the target was 54. You don't give back 40 cents to make 10 cents. So the answer is no. Boom. Answer your question. You don't give back 40 cents in profit to make 10 more cents. And that's why I get out of this here. Duh. And could it have kept going? Yes. Did it? Yes. Does it matter? No. Because it's chance and nobody knows. You have different targets and we figured them all out and 54 was the target and it got there. This is basically at the target. Or 54.13 or whatever it was. Ruby, that's Phil, but I thought you ended up taking more. You ended up taking more, you told me. Ruby was what was the date? I didn't do this. This was last week. Let's look. What happened with this one? Did it work or not? I think it did, didn't it? Yeah, it did. Okay, what's your point? 315.  Okay, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. What's your question? It worked. This was the day of the snowstorm. The market was dead that day. I'm surprised there was anything to do. Ruby, you couldn't get in it at all, you're saying. Oh, you did not do the Ruby. You couldn't get filled? What was the volume on this? It looks fine. I don't know where you tried to get in. I don't understand why it couldn't get filled. It had the volume. It did back up.  If you had to catch your order there, you probably would have gotten filled. It's fine if you killed it, but if you had kept the order sitting there, you would have gotten filled when it pushed back at one of these places. You just would have had to adjust your size and the stop. That ever happens again is exactly what you could do, but you're chanceing it. If you don't get filled here, you can leave the order sitting and see if it backs up. It did not hear. Hear it backed up. It probably would have filled you somewhere or you repress it, adjust your position size, put the stop. So in here you would have tried to take it. If you didn't get filled there, it moved 10, 15 cents into it, fixed yourself, reset the stop, take it. This isn't a huge dollar difference. You could have done that with that and you would have gotten filled on a pushback. It's been a long time since I've needed to do that, but there's something that you can use. I'm sure you probably didn't try to go back after it, but for the next time you could.  Gala has writing. Will has a question. Anybody else? Anyone else have any other questions about anything at all? Will wants me to look at shield. Hold on, I'll pull it up here. Let me see if I can download this. This is very small. This is a teeny weeny. Let's see. All right, so again, if you use these, this is shield I guess. If you use these things and they help you go for it, I don't use these things. This to me looks like a map of Central America. I don't know. I mean, I don't want to use these things, but I'm not talking you out of using it. If this works for you, then go with it, but I don't want to use these things. This looks like something that is a map that's trying to tell me where to go on a vacation. Give me directions to drive somewhere and I don't drive anymore. But I mean, if it works for you, do it. If I use things like this, I know it would take off of my eye when I see the price. So I just got to keep doing what I'm doing because I'm very, very good at reading price action. That is a skill. And until you develop it, use these other things. But I just don't want to take anything off my eye. I don't use these things. I see what you saw here. I see the bounce up. You don't have the time in here, but I see the bounce up with the morning, how it acted and broke and dropped in here. I know actually this was it. This was the morning here, I can tell. You don't have the time, but this was the morning bounce up broke that looks like this is happening after. It's supposed to happen in the afternoon. This is the morning bounce. This is the afternoon bounce. Anyways, I see what you saw. Yeah, if it helps you do it, but you still will have levels like this that hit if the gap doesn't rate well, won't follow through and will lift above this, for example. How would you know that you would get the confirmation? You could take something like what you have here with the Fibonacci's, first rate the gap, narrow it down to a shield, then you want shield into the open and then you get the setup and then you match it up with these lines that you use, which again, I don't use and I don't teach, but if you use them, if you know which gap to watch with stock symbol, like shield, you watch it, you go with it. If this corresponds with what I taught you with the PIC, you can use this to help you read supported resistance and go with it. Now, it wouldn't help me because I would take my mind off the price action. When I'm looking at something, it will, first of all, I have such a good eye that I don't need the lines to be there drawn for me. And how do I know? Let me just take this down. I said 55 today in Nike. I was right and there's no lines here. There's no lines at all. It wasn't up here. It wasn't the 50 period moving average. I said $55 in Nike today. My eye saw this.  But my eye saw it this morning. There was no line drawn there and I didn't manually do this until tonight when I said, oh yeah, there. But my eye sees it because I've trained my brain. I've trained my eye and my brain to work in conjunction, reading gaps and reading support and resistance levels very well. I don't need the lines to be drawn for me because I've trained my brain so well at reading price and it's the gaps themselves which point me in the direction to see it. But you have to know how to look at it because for every corresponding one that does something like this, you have, I'm gonna go to Amazon. Was Amazon the one? Yeah, Amazon. Well, maybe it was Google. Where was the one? Hold on. No, it was Amazon. Here, here, here, here. See that? Here, let me get rid of this. This here, you could have easily thought that it was a short, but it wasn't. So who knows what your Febedachi line said here but this wasn't a short. It really wasn't even along the day. There was nothing to do with this, okay? But anyways, the point is that it's not as easy as it looks to follow just lines like that. Otherwise, we would all have lines like that support and resistance lines and we just follow them and make money. You have to look at the price action and the gap itself, know where you're looking for it to hold, whether it's support or resistance, whether you're going long or short, rate it, narrow down the pick, watch for the setup. If it sets up in the area where those lines correspond, you can use that information to help guide you. I don't need that because I do it without it because I'm focusing on the price of it. And just because I've been trading nothing but gaps for eight years. So it's the price that you're looking for. All of these lines are just price action, whether it's in a simple moving average or a Febedachi that's averaged into the line anyway. It's a computer makes these lines. That's why you can plop them on there. There's no trains that went off here. It's an average. Same thing with Febedachi levels. It's a price average. So you just read the price itself. What was the one that we were watching for tonight? Gala had I said for tonight's. Let's look at it. We'll do one more thing here. We'll look at the earnings for tonight. I forget what it was. What was it? I just forgot. Is it up or down? Is it a bust? It's a bust. Ah, it is a bust. It's a bust. Nope, don't like it. So this will do nothing right. It's a shame. What was the other one? Let me look at FDX. There's nothing to look at here. Look, this tried to hold today. Let me look at this. And that looks interesting. This didn't do enough, but it did support itself today. This is a watch. This is a watch for tomorrow or the next days. Up. Well, that's interesting. It's interesting. I mean, trading is very, very interesting. I keep meaning to write an article to write a little story and I'm just having a time to write. But today was a great example here because this trade was hard till it broke. It took a long time, which as you know, I'm very impatient, but I stayed with it today. It's day traders were looking to buy this today. I've been to the support. That's why you can't just buy support and short resistance to trade and look at the gap to give me the direction to point me. If you have other things that help you, give you conviction to trade gaps and you use them. But there isn't one thing like anyone moving average or Fibonacci or any indicator that you can use it will tell you everything to do or we'd all have it. And it would be very easy then to trade. And there are some days that it is not easy to trade and that's why some days I take a loss. But more often than not, I don't. Today, I stuck through this. I could have made a little bit more but I'm very happy with my performance today because I could have just quit and said, screw it. It's taking too long or whatever, but it did work. Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is though that it's really about the information. Everyone sees the same thing. No one can be in denial that Nike opened today, gapped down, opened at 54.76. Look at that. Take a dollar's length from the open. No one can deny that's the truth. We can all agree on that and it's not up to interpretation. But what is up to interpretation is what you're gonna do with it. Everyone, now it's easy to say now, but forget. Boom, pretend you don't see that. If you get up in the morning and you're seeing this here, you're interpreting one thing. I'm interpreting one thing. Somebody else is interpreting another. Who is going to be right? The one that makes a prediction and takes the trade before the move happens to make the money. And that's how you make money in the market. So all the information is out there. It's up to interpretation what to do with it. And everyone is interpreting of something different. So the people that will win will be the one that will interpret it correctly because the information that we all have is the same. Nike gap down in his opening at 54.76. Boom, what are you gonna do? My interpretation is it's short. As it turns out, I was right. So if you come to me and you learn with me and you trade with me, you will learn how I interpret information in a gap which is a skill and it's how to interpret it. The fact that gap down and the price it opened at everyone can see and it's factual and real information. You can get anywhere for free on the net. But how to interpret it is the key because if you're able to do that and take the trade before the drop, you can make money. I'll assume we get tomorrow, people. I have no idea. Five is a bust. We'll get something in the morning, I'm sure. We got two more days left this week. We'll see. I'm gonna be very, very careful tomorrow. Hopefully we get an easy one. I think between now and Friday, we will get one easy. I don't know if it's tomorrow or not. But we should get one easy pick in the two more days of trading this week. Well, we'll see. All right, have a great night. Thanks for coming, everyone. Good questions. Email me if you have any other questions. For those of you that are ready in the trial, I'll see you in the morning. Nothing tonight. And then if you want a trial, you can email me for a trial for the next few days, classes this weekend. And we'll just play it on through. I can't wait to see what the market does. I mean, we did hold today. If we get back tomorrow, we are gonna follow through higher. It's very, very interesting. Koala Bear, you're still awake. I didn't know you were there. Koala Bear took a nap in the afternoon and then woke up for the talk. All right, have a good night, everyone. You're welcome. Okay, don't see you in the morning. Bright and early. Stay safe, Galahad in England. All right, have a good night.


Hey y'all, it's Tani with Collard Valley Cooks. Tonight I am doing something pretty simple. We bought a turkey and when I opened it up this morning to put it in the oven, I realized that it's already cooked and smoked. So today what I'm doing, let me show y'all this, is I'm into another fridge water because we have to go down to St. Mary's tomorrow. Something's come up. So this is open and it's whistling. This is our new cookware. Once it starts to whistle, you close it, but I'm going to show you what I've got in there. Broccoli with just a little bit of water, okay, so we're just going to hit the close button and then you turn it down on a low temperature and when you do that, it pretty much kind of steams it, okay. I'm doing the same thing in here, except I have sweet potatoes, so I'm trying to use my fresh produce before we leave. I put a little butter in there and a little brown sugar in there and they are just cooking and I've had a lid on them so that they get soft. Let me see how soft they are. So when you cook with this type of cookware and you close the steam button like I did on the broccoli just now, it cooks a lot faster, okay. And you don't have to use a lot of water in your vegetables, which means they're healthier. Of course, this is not, you know, that healthy consider and I've got brown sugar and butter in it, but we're going to enjoy it regardless. Alright, so we're going to close that back up and then I've decided to throw in what little cabbage I had left with some green onions just because they were fresh. It was fresh. It was in the refrigerator and I needed to do something with it. So those are my veggies for tonight. The only thing I got left to do for this cabbage is let it cook just a little bit more. I need to salt and pepper it.  Yeah. But now this actually, these are not salad master. We have some salad master. This is like a... This is a brand on Amazon that I recommend that is identical to salad master, except for the way the lids made and I actually like the lids on these very much. That is exactly the same. But it's the same. I mean, it's made the same. It's got the same stamp on the bottom of it. It's wonderful. And you can get a whole set for like $280 or $90. Hopefully it lasts long. If you're interested in that, I'll go on my website, click on Cookware and take a look at it. It is so worth the money. Now we're going to get over here. We're going to open this turkey.  So I bought that set with our money that we make on Car Valley Cooks just to make sure that if I referenced it to you guys that it was, you know, it was worth it. And boy is it worth it. It's really good. So this is a turkey that I bought at the grocery store when they were out of everything else. They didn't have any meat. And so me and Chris, I was like, look at a turkey. So apparently I just grabbed one. We thought we were being really smart. Yeah. And I had no idea this was a pre-cooked turkey. But it is. It's already smoked and cooked. And so now I'm just opening it up and I'm going to carve some meat off of it for supper. And then I'm going to make a little bit of gravy to go over it right quick. And we're going to eat. We've never had one of these before. No, I've never bought one like this before. But you know what? It may be really good. This is a honeysuckle white. And I'm just going to layer right here on my cutting board that I got for my sink cutting board. And if you don't have a sink cutting board, they're really convenient too for meats. I use it for my meats. It has drain lines and it has these that adjust. You can make them come out a little longer, you know, if your sink's bigger. But let me get rid of this right quick just because I want to. Now this is already cooked so it's not the juices and stuff are not, you know, terribly bad or nothing.  Go into the trash can. Okay. And now, wash my hands. We're going to start carving up a little bit of this turkey. Somebody said they had one at Thanksgiving. It was good. Oh really? Okay. Well, let's see what it looks like, y'all. Yeah, we have to reheat it. I'm going to heat it in a skillet. It's cooked. I mean, it says to cook it in the oven, but you don't have to. It's already cooked. You can slice it up for sandwiches. I'm going to slice it up and put it in a skillet and warm it. I don't like to warm meat in the microwave because it makes it tough. Okay. But these turkey legs, I could actually save them and put them in some beans. They'd be real good. So I'll probably freeze part of this since we've got to leave and go out of town tomorrow. I'll probably freeze some of my turkey legs and like the wings at least. And that way we will have it to make meat with when we come back home. I'll pull it off the skin. So right now I'm just carving up a couple of slices for supper. And you get a lot of meat on a turkey. That's a good thing about buying it. Like with things going on the way they are now, you get a whole lot of meat. You can freeze it. Yeah, you can. Since there was no meat at the grocery store, you don't have to even heat it up. You can slice it for sandwiches. But since there was no meat at the grocery store, I thought, I'm going to the freezer section. And I got me some turkey and I got me some frozen chicken breasts and tenders. One of the viewers said that they always heated theirs, the leftover turkey on a stove top and butter. Yeah, I was going to do something like that. That's what I was going to do tonight. And then I'll use the juices to make some gravy. That's probably enough for us. And I'll freeze what we don't need. Normally, we would be here and I could, you know, we could eat on this. But since it's smoked, you know, I don't think I would. I have done chicken and pot pie with smoked turkey before. And it was pretty good. Chris really liked it. It's kind of a manly thing. This juice that came off this turkey when I had it sitting, I'm going to use it in my gravy. Because it's already been cooked. Okay, so I'm going to scoop, think what I'll do. Because I know those sweet potatoes are done. These things are cooked just a little bit more. I'll put these back here on low. Weren't you lighting? Because it wants me to blow on it. And now we're just going to heat up our turkey. And then once we heat it up, I'll make a bit of gravy go over it. We're having a simple supper. Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, I wanted to put a little bit of butter on these. And I got a little butter right here. Oh, on the rolls? Yeah. I had some frozen rolls that I had left over from Thanksgiving, believe it or not. And so we're making those tonight. And the girls can eat a turkey roll if they want to. So I'll go ahead and start this. We can't ever remember how to start this one. It's a little more complicated. We use it. We don't use it as much as a air fryer. And then it wants to preheat. And then once it's preheated, you have to hit the start button to set the timer. So I just click start and let it start cooking. I've never been one for preheating that much. I'm all wet neither. If you just throw stuff in the oven and turn it on. And that's pretty much how I do. Unless it's a cake. If it's a cake, I preheat it. But that's about the only thing I preheat my oven for. I don't preheat it for brownies. Somebody's asking about that. So she's still waiting on the cherry pie with a cherry pie filling? I have got that. It was just so simple because I used a refrigerated pie crust and a can of filling. Did we make it then? Yes, I made it. And I've got pictures and everything. I just haven't posted it because I thought people would make fun of it. Because I was tired and I was sick that day and I wanted something for dessert. So I made a real easy dessert. But I'll put it on there if y'all want me to. So see, we did do it. I thought we did one when I saw somebody else going to do it. See how organized I am. I'm not with my pots and pans. I don't think they're too good. It's actually, we'll put a little of this in there. This is our one copper pan that has survived. Yeah. The rest of them didn't last too long. You got to be, you got to treat me. I'm going to take some of this skin and put it here just for the, yeah, and the flavor. So let's slice it a little bit. Real thin. Before I do. Oh, you're over there? Yeah, because I don't want to mess up my pretty cutting boards over there with meat. And I'm just doing this so that the gravy will taste good, y'all. And I'm not going to let, I don't know that I'll leave it in right here. But I just thought that might make it taste better. You know? So when you go to the grocery store, if they're out of meat during this time, check out the freezer section. You might have to get a turkey to cook, which is what I thought I was going to get. And if I had cooked the turkey, let me tell you what I was going to do in case you want to go get one. Let me rinse off my hands first. I was going to cut it in half with my knife. And I really wasn't going to do this. I was going to cut the turkey in half. Let me trace down. And I was going to take half of it and boil it like I boiled my chickens. And that way I'd have stock and I'd have chicken for chicken pot pie and chicken noodle soup, chicken and dumplings. That kind of thing. Of course, I was going to use turkey. And then the other half, I was going to roast.  And that's how I was going to do the turkey. Okay? If you've got a smoker and you've got pellets or whatever it is you use in your smoker, this is a good time to smoke something. And like now I've got nice turkey wings to use in my dried beans when I cook them. And et cetera, et cetera. Let's see how these look. Woo! Let me turn them off. This is our sweet potatoes. And they're going to be so good. Oh, y'all need to be able to smell that. I see that. It smells good, good, good. It's just time for me to check it too. It'll be delicious. Alright, so those have been turned off.  Let's see how it looks. And it actually forms a suction. Like I couldn't pick that up. That's ready. Needed salt and pepper there. Smells good too. And I'm sure since this turkey was pre-cooked it's probably got plenty of... I want to put a little bit of salt in this because it's sweet and it makes it taste even better. And then this turkey should already be salty since it was pre-cooked. But I am going to put a little bit of pepper on my broccoli because I like it. So light miserable dash on it. Did we cut this off? The broccoli? They need... But everything needs to be cut off really. It's time to eat. And I guess those rolls are getting brown. I should have used the air fryer and then it would only take it on the minute. But I still got to make a little bit of gravy, so... Sweet potatoes are good to buy too. They last a long time, don't they? I mean, they last about as long as the potato does. I thought they last a long time. No. That's why I'm cooking them. Because by the time we get back they wouldn't have been good anymore. You know? So let's get our stuff ready to make our gravy. To serve over our turkey. We don't need a whole lot. I'm just making gravy for the turkey. And it's not going to make a whole bunch. So that's how much juice I got out of the bottom of the turkey package. And it's not blood, y'all, because it's pre-cooked, okay? So we're going to use that and make a little bit of pan gravy with it. It's going to be good. And really and truly, when you're doing a gravy like this, for one I'm going to taste this. Oh my gosh, it's salty, salty. Okay. So we're going to put a little bit of cornstarch in it. Because I don't really want to put milk in this type of gravy. And my whisk from that side. You want a gravy whisk? Yeah, that's fine. Just something. Something, honey. And we're not going on vacation. No, we're not. We have a house that we bought at St. Mary's that we want to move to when Amy graduates. And so we have to sell this house. But we need to go down there and mow the grass. And we have some appointments down there. We had made a doctor's appointment. And because we didn't want to, we wanted to get a doctor down there. They haven't had their first case yet. And they haven't canceled appointments. And it's an appointment that we really need to be at. So it's a medical thing, not a fun, you know, just for fun. Of course we'll have fun when we go, maybe. But I don't really want to stop on the way to go to the bathroom and stuff very much. There'll be a lot of people coming back from Florida. Yeah, I'm actually going to take some gloves and put them in the car and make the girls wear disposable gloves when they get in and out of the convenience stores to go to the bathroom. We only have to usually stop like once. Yeah, we normally just have to stop once. And we can take some snacks in the car. So we should be fine. All right, here, baby, get this. So we're going to get this good stuff off the bottom with this. I'm going to put just a little bit of water in it because it is really salty. That's turkey for the people that came on here late. Yeah, that's a smoked turkey. We got out of the freezer section at the grocery store. And to my surprise, I got it out to cook it this morning and it was a pre-cooked turkey. So I got to not worry about it today. I've just been making videos for y'all today. It's just been nice editing. So I'm leaving that skin in there just to, you know, flavor the sauce. Of course, this is going to be really good because I used the juice out of the package. So if you get to a turkey like we did, remember you can do that too. Put it over the top of something when you get it out. Let's put a little salt and pepper on it. We are moving there because we like it. We like to fish. I don't have to put salt in it because it's already so salty. Does that look good? That's really good. There's us some turkey gravy. Now we are going to go over here and check out our rolls. And if they're warming up. Here's our tomatoes. Those are the ones we still got surviving. From that tomato, we all got the seeds from and we did a little video on that. All right, let's eat. Using what I had in the refrigerator, just no rhyme or reason. Just pulled out what I had since we're leaving. I didn't want to waste anything. It was fresh. And so I used what cabbage I had left. I'm just going to see how this goes. I used what cabbage I had left. I used what broccoli. I actually saved this little bit of broccoli because I was going to make like a broccoli and cabbage slaw. And instead I decided to stew the cabbage and eat the broccoli. Cut up a sweet potato because I knew it wouldn't be good when we got back. So that's our supper in this turkey. So let's get it down. Let's make a plate. Yeah, we didn't know they had pre-cooked turkeys. Did you know they had pre-cooked turkeys? No, I didn't know. We really, honestly, we're just going to get a turkey and cook it like she said. Yeah, we'll still be doing these videos when we move. We've kind of outfitted our kitchen down there. Of course, we don't have all the stuff that we got here, but we've actually done some videos from down there. I've got five more that you all haven't seen that I've still got to edit where I've been cooking all week this week. So, you know, we got plenty of footage for y'all. And I've been running reruns because a lot of you, I've never seen a lot of my videos. So I put on a new one and then I put it on a couple of old ones.  Let's put the prettiest piece on here. Why don't we?  And I'm like, no, that's just an old video. So I do that because there's so many new viewers. It's crazy for me not to let them see, you know, more than one thing. Do you remember how much that turkey was a pound? It's cheap, wasn't it? I don't remember. I can pick up the package and look. That's okay. Y'all can just check it out. A lot of people are interested in the turkey. Oh, yeah. Thanks to Colored Valley Cooks, everybody will go buy all the turkeys. Look how good that looks. And then we're going to put a little gravy on our turkey, put a roll on the plate. Is that a supper or what? A supper with the junk that I had left in the fridge. Like Thanksgiving. As far as these two go, but these were frozen since Thanksgiving because somebody made rolls and I made homemade rolls. Of course, that had to be cooked. And then our new turkey. This is going to be delicious, I can tell you right now. And I'm going to grab my other camera and take a picture. Yeah, she likes to take pictures. So we have something to put on there. Yeah, I'm going to take a picture right quick for YouTube. And then I will...  You know how you buy stuff and it comes in big quantities. When you're trying to save money you get a good price on it. So I guess this is time to be making stuff like that. And it's also a time to like my green onions that I had left I was either going to slice them up put them in a freezer bag put them in the freezer and I thought, no, I'll just throw them in this cabbage. Don't waste anything right now. Don't waste anything. Save your potato skins. Put them in your air fryer. Put them in the oven on a baking sheet. Save your miscellaneous stuff and make soup out of it. You know, right now we need to be very aware of the situation we're in. We don't know how long it's going to take. I'm trying not to say the name of it because they will take this video off the air.  I'm just saying that you don't know what's really going to happen. So let's not waste stuff. Like last night I made those potato chips y'all see the video in a couple of days and I cut one of these and it made so many potato chips. I couldn't believe it. Somebody asked if we think a year old frozen ham is still good. Heck yeah it is. Ain't nothing wrong with it. Unless you wrapped it up in saran wrap. No, I'm serious. There's nothing wrong with it.  That's what they make it for. I still got vegetables from the last summer. They're fine. I need to make some tea. I guess I want since we're leaving. I made a cake this week because it was Amy's best friend's birthday and it was just a cake mix with vanilla icing the buttercream icing that I made I asked one vanilla vanilla and then this dark icing you see on this I asked the other one I put Nutella in the icing so it was like Nutella icing on the cake. It was really good. Let's take a bite. I didn't video that for y'all. That was delicious. Y'all that was so good. What brand was it? I don't know. If you can get one pre-cooked it only costs 30 or 40 cents more a pound and you can afford it get it because the smoky flavor is perfect. It's not overpowering. It's got plenty of salt in it. So it's already pre-made. I mean most of the time when you make a turkey at home it's hard to get salt to go all the way in the turkey which we done the last time we made a turkey you can turn that off. Just hit that last button and press it. There you go. I think I turned it back on. Well then press it again. I mean you need to turn it off. There's an off button in the middle or somewhere. I don't know. Let's taste the sweet taters. Y'all that cookware is amazing. You just close it with that little bit of water in it and these have got a sticky glaze that's actually crunchy on the outside. Y'all see it? And they're so good and done. That's dessert right there. Dessert. We bought a cooked turkey it was at Engels but it was in the frozen section. Let me say this. All I put in that cabbage seriously I didn't put any water or nothing in it. I put a little bit of butter in that onion and it is absolutely delicious. You do not have to load up vegetables with bacon grease and bacon and all these other things to make it taste good. If you like vegetables you would just be like oh my gosh that's good. It is so good. It only takes the best ingredient for food period of salt and pepper and butter. If you got good food if you have to cover it up it's not gonna be good. Everything on a plate is just perfect. So I hope y'all have enjoyed watching this live. We don't go live on Facebook much for one they won't monetize it for us. I'm far and no they reduce the quality of the video. Let me see if I can figure this thing out. No? I can't. This cookware this cookware is called Maxim it's the same as Saladmaster but there's all kinds of brands. It's waterless cookware any brand that's waterless cookware will do the same thing. So I'll show it to him one more time and he gonna want to eat while it's warm. Yep, I'm hungry. Y'all it's delicious. Absolutely. I was actually talking my mouth open I know it's not very late a lot wait a minute. I actually went to bed about 4.15 and I thought I'm gonna lay down and relax because I have an infection and I thought I'm gonna lay down and relax and I thought I really need to get up and cook what am I gonna make because I didn't want to make what was on my this is the first time I haven't made what's on the menu and and then I got to thinking I'll just make what I got. You don't have to have I mean if you just get up I know a lot of us need to be pushed to get up out of bed and get started and so I decided I'd get up and get started and look at that and you can do it too. I know this time is hard for everybody I know it's hard to get motivated but we need to be healthy and eat so these days our families are gonna remember everything about them and if you give them some good food they'll never forget it Y'all have a great day and thanks for watching Colored Valley Cooks where we cook like mama did.


This is Sergeant First Class Wade Smith. He's in charge of human resources for his unit, and he also keeps his soldiers looking professional in a makeshift barber shop in his office. My Sergeant Major noticed that my soldiers always had, you know, a nice clean haircut at the end of the week.  And I tell him, hey, I am Sergeant Major. To say the least, Sergeant Smith has an eclectic array of skills. When he's not giving free haircuts to soldiers, you can find him outside teaching soldiers how to shoot a bow. I teach him, you know, the fundamentals, how to stand, how to draw, how to shoot. And once I've done that, most people want to come back for more. Archery is more than a hobby for Sergeant Smith. I have a little piece of home. And I know once I go out and shoot that I can focus on something that I want to achieve, which is, you know, the bullseye, I guess, from here.

People often ask, do you want a true encounter with God or do you just want emotion? But that assumes that encounters with God have no emotion. Did not God create the emotions? Is there any part of our being that wasn't created to respond to God? We don't pursue emotional experience, but emotional experience sometimes isn't the result of having a true encounter with God. How can you stand in the presence of God, be aware that he's near, sense his goodness and his love, and not be moved?


We just made this LED acrylic sign using our X-Tool D1 10 watt laser and we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up? A welcome back. Do you like to do a builder to make it? So do we. We have a new video each week. This week we're answering some viewer comments. A couple of weeks ago we did a video on how to engrave a photo on acrylic using our CO2 laser, omtech polar laser, 50 watt laser. And so we got a lot of comments because we do lots of X-Tool videos. Hey, will the X-Tool, the diode laser, which is only 10 watts, will it do a photo and grave on acrylic? And it will. And so this week we're going to show you how. Step one, we're going to gather all of our supplies. We needed some acrylic blanks and some LED bases. We got these on Amazon for like five bucks a piece. Yeah, and you can buy these in packages and kits. So you can get them in multiple quantities. You can buy them at a greater discount the more you buy. Yeah, the more you buy, the cheaper they are.  And that is it. Oh, and the next tool. Step two, we're going to make all of our cuts. Well, we can't cut clear acrylic with a diode. We can only engrave. That was one of the biggest lessons learned during this project. We did a try or attempt to cut the acrylic. And guess what? It doesn't work. So we did a little more research, a little more digging. And we learned that with a diode laser, which is a blue light laser, you cannot cut clear acrylic and you cannot cut blue acrylic. You can cut black, red, any of the other colors, but you can't cut the clear acrylic. So you're going to need the light kit that comes with the acrylic blanks for the toppers. And then you can engrave on those. So you can engrave, but you can't cut it. So step two is not make all your cuts. Step two is make all your engravings. We're going to start here in image r.com. First thing you're going to want to do is remove the background from our image. It's going to make the engrave go a lot faster and it's going to look a little bit nicer. So we're going to go to the tab for remove background. We're going to scroll past the ads and click upload. And here's our little selfie for engraving. We'll give it just a couple of seconds. The screen will refresh. Here's our original image. And here's the image without the background. Looks great. So we're just going to download it. And then next we're going to go over to image r. Here we're going to prepare our image for laser engraving. So again, we're going to hear all the steps on how to do it. It basically runs you right through it across the bottom. So the first thing we're going to do is upload. And this is the image that we exported. So I'm going to bring that in. Here we are. And next we're going to crop the image through all this extra space here. So I'm going to scroll over here and choose a square crop. Just going to bring this in. Whoa. Try that again. What do you think? That looks pretty good, huh? Yeah, I think we're pretty centered. All right. So here we're just going to say crop. Looks good. Next we're going to resize our image. I'm going to change it to inches. And for what we're doing, we're going to do four inches. Yep. Height and width. And then we're going to change the DPI to 300. When you're engraving a photo, you want to hire dots per inch DPI. And leave it as fixed aspect ratio. That means it's going to adjust the width and height at the same time. Hit OK. You have to scroll down each time. And now that we've resized, I'm not going to add any text, but you could. Next I'm going to select material. So here when we did our previous engraving, we use the CO2 laser. For the diode laser, you're going to select Norton. See here, mostly used in diode lasers. And we're going to say Norton acrylic. We're going to click OK. Here there's a bunch of other adjustments that we can do. But for purposes of today's project, we look beautiful. And I'm just going to download this image. And we're going to download it as a PNG. Next we're going to move over to the X tool software. So here we are in X tool creative space. This is super simple as well. We're just going to select image. There is our diode laser image. I didn't point this out on the last screen. But if you notice it actually mirrored it for us. Because last time when we engraved it, we did mirror it and it engraves on the top. But with this particular laser and for clear acrylic, the laser beam actually goes right through that clear acrylic and engraves on the backside. So if I engrave it like this, this is actually mirrored from the way the photo was taken. So I can reflect it and put it right back to where it was. So when it engraves using this diode laser, it engraves in the proper aspect ratio. Here it says I'm going to change the size a little bit. We're actually going to shrink this down just a little bit. And we're going to do 3.25 and keep it at 3.25. That fits better on the little acrylic backer that we were given. And then we're going to change our material settings. We're going to leave it at laser flat. We're going to leave it at user defined material for our laser. Now this could change and you could do a speed power test. But for us, we did a few tests here and we found that 70% power and speed of 50 with one pass works for us. We're going to leave it and change our lines per centimeter here to 280. Scroll that down close to 300 and leave it at grayscale, bi-directional and click process. If you enable the little laser pointer, I'll go frame it. Just press the button on the X tool. Alright, looks good. So framing complete and we're going to start the job. I get all the glory. Yeah. We learned a few things engraving on this clear acrylic. We learned that the beam does go all the way through the clear acrylic. So you want to make sure you take off the coating from top or bottom if it has any coating on it. It does burn in the back. So it's going to need something for that beam to bounce off of. And we found that the black cardstock works the best. We tried multiple colors, black worked the best. And then if it leaves any char on the back, which it will, a little cleaner here will get that off. Or a little magic eraser will take the char right off the back. Three, assembly. This has to be the second easiest assembly ever. I'm just going to insert it into the LED base. So dare I say, it's tied for number one. It's tied for number one. And there you go. The great thing about these bases is you can choose your light settings. This is on scrolling through multiple colors, but you can set these at one color and leave it all the colors. It did come with a remote, but I lost it when I opened it. Step four, profit. So the base and the blank cost me about $5. It does come with the remote. And then my X tool charges me about $5 an hour for any cut times or engraved times. So all in $10. And for an LED light up acrylic sign about this size, I see them going anywhere from $15 to $20. It took about an hour. So if you were going to go larger size, you'll make a little bit more money. I've seen those going up to $40 for some that are maybe about this tall. So what would that be? Six or eight inches tall? Yeah, you can get blanks that are about six to eight inches tall, too. So those go for up to like $40 or actually I did see one for $50, but that one seemed a little on the high end of the range. And at the craft shows, we've seen whole booths set up with just selling these, just engraving different comical signs, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Teacher's Signs, there's so many different things you can do. And then you can charge a little bit more for something like this with the personalization, of course, with a photo on it. So pretty good chunk of change. This is a good turn. All right, the file creation was super easy. And then you just kind of let your laser do its thing. So these are super easy to make. You could probably pump these out. Well, I guess not pump these out. But you can create a whole craft booth on just light up LED acrylic signs. All right. Well, we are about out of time. So if you're not going to join us for the patron after show, we will see you next week where we'll do it, build it and make it again. That thing is way too small to balance. Oh, hey, and don't forget to join us on Tuesdays where we go live. Last week we did something in Illustrator, but we usually just do some sign painting or crafting. So come join us. Kimmy D here. And I'm going to lay down with a little track for you. I need some background music. We got the film. We want to take it off. Both sides. Both sides. We want it off both sides. We got the beam. It goes all the way through. Burns in the back. Burns in the back. Yes.


of the United States. Thank you all very much. Good morning and welcome to the White House. I had to get used to calling this the White House, but I understand it's part of it. But I'm delighted to have this chance to speak, even if it's just for a few minutes with you, to talk about the opportunities for us as we develop the frontiers of space. I'm often accused of being an optimist and I plead guilty that the space age is barely a quarter of a century old and it's been only 15 years since we witnessed the wonders of the human voice being transmitted from Tranquility Base. But those footprints on the moon showed us that America's future can be determined by our dreams and our visions. And this week's maiden voyage of the space Shuttle Discovery tells me that our future will be determined by our dreams and our visions. Discovery was a wonderful success, launching three communications satellites, as I know you well know, testing an extendable solar power array, producing a pharmaceutical sample in weightlessness and solid performance from the newest shuttle to join the fleet. And I know that you have seen a film and about this, so it would be a purpose for me to come on after what you have seen. Now, there are some, however, who may believe that space is a luxury that we can't afford. They may work to protect the past and I believe it's up to us to invent the future. Pushing back the frontiers of space is a critical investment that will lead to better times still to come. We marveled at the earlier Mercury flights and Gemini and Apollo and the Shuttle, and yet we've only seen the beginning of this great human adventure. And you're the people who write about our space program and you know how we've pushed civilization forward with our advances in science and technology. And as we reach out to new opportunities, I know you understand that your best stories are yet to come. As long as we challenge our imagination and aim high, there's no end to the potential of space and no end to what we can accomplish in space to improve life on Earth. And of course that's the whole point of the program in the first place. We're going to keep pushing back the frontier of space and keep opening new doors of discovery, opportunity, and progress. We're going to do it with the Shuttle program and within a decade we're going to do it with the MEND Space Station. And the benefits our people will receive literally dazzle the imagination. In partnership with business and private enterprise we can produce rare medicines with the potential of saving thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars. We'll be able to open the door to new opportunities for important breakthroughs in cancer research in diabetes and in other diseases. We'll be able to manufacture superchips that improve our competitive position in the world computer market. And we'll be able to develop new metals that are lighter and stronger than any we've ever known. And in partnership with industry and academia the opportunity to expend basic research will grow and grow and there will be new discoveries and breakthroughs new progress. So the promise and the potential are there and believe me when you write about it the stories won't be science fiction. The promise is the promise of accomplishments. By accepting the challenge of space we're carrying forward the same courage and indomitable spirit that made us a great nation. And with people like Elizabeth Dole and Jim Beggs and Tony Calio and Bud Evans to lead the effort there's no doubt that America's space program will lead to a better America and a better life for all your people. And all our people will be a visit to Goddard Space Center. And there I saw already some of the things that I've been talking about here in general I saw specific examples that we'll soon be seeing both in the field of great improvements in health science but the improvements in fabrics and materials developed in outer space that are going to mean great savings of time and money to some of our productive industries and increase their production at the same time that they do all those things. It was really a brief trip through wonderland so that's the answer to those who in the very beginning fought so hard against the continuation of some of these space programs and the basis that they thought they were just kind of experiments in intellectual curiosity. Well they're not they're real and they're practical so I've used up more than my time so I've been told I have to get out of here so may surprise you you thought that probably I gave the orders no no but thank you all very much. God bless you all
