@Tigermark were cleaning up some of the trails. Everything is fooked up from the year, since we’re the only ones through most of these trails it’s our cleanup.

Here’s my hug @Plumber32 lol
My old man turned 79 today. The once 6’4” farm system baseball player that once had enormous large hands, strong arms and Stern discipline is shrinking and getting weaker. now his speech is getting worse, slurred from his stroke 7 years ago. He’s still pushing! Here’s to you Dad keep it going!

Phyllostachys gigantea 'Moso' Giant Bamboo shoots. At full size, the base can be a wide as a foot. Typical height at maturity is approx 30-35'. These are the 1st big shoots I've seen. I planted it about 7 years ago as part of my Bamboo forest. I have 20 varieties growing.
Typical rule of thumb for bamboo growth is;
1st year it sleeps
2nd year it creeps
3rd year it leaps
There are two basic types; runners and clumping varieties. You can control the running type by following whichever direction the branches grow as so will the rhizome (roots) grow. The branches only grow in opposite directions of each other and never whorled. So, right and left only. Not every direction. If you plant it along a fence or road line, just be sure to plant it with the branches pointing in the same direction as the fence/road. The only way the rhizome will change direction is if it comes up against an immovable object. For bamboo, that ain't much. Clumping types only get water in girth. Not by individual stalks but by many together. The different sections or segments along the trunk of each plant are referred to as Culms.

“Recession is coming. We can debate the timing, but the economy will turn decisively downward at some point. My own analysis, looking at the data available on April 4, says recession isn’t likely this year but unfortunately looks very probable in 2020.

In addition to when it will happen, there’s also the question of how deep the next recession will be. A shallow downturn wouldn’t be fun, but compared to the last one might feel relatively refreshing.

Alas, I don’t think we will be that lucky. I think the opposite: The next recession will be deeper, longer and far more painful to many more people than your average recession, and could persist as long as the last one. That is because the next recession in all likelihood will be truly global. If you sailed through 2007–2009 without your lifestyle changing, I wouldn’t assume it will happen that way again.

Ironically, but not surprisingly, it will be the response to the last recession that makes the next one so much worse. Part of the reason is that investors once again “learned” that if you simply stay the course, the market will get you back to where you were and more. The massive move into low-fee index investing instead of active management will make the next recession more painful.

You must understand that 75% of today’s wealth is in the hands of retirees and pre-retirees. Most have a significant portion of their money in index funds, and they’re going to see significant erosion of their retirement assets. I’m thinking especially of those depending on public pensions, which are heavily weighted to a form of index investing. Public pensions are already significantly underfunded (in general) and a bear market will make them even more so. It will be painful and I can assure you it will cause a lot of political angst.” – John Mauldin
