Touring  Willamette valley in ’05 I bought a  WilliKenzie 2005  pinot noir I liked. They’d  really  babied  it  along. Told  of  repeated  pushing  down the  cap. Planned  to have it  some  special occasion rated some above  90 but  fact selected it  from the  taste room more  of interest.   2 weeks back Dorly  made  a  sauerbraten  and  I got home  late to find  she’d  pulled  it  and  Tom had  not  gotten the  cork full engaged with lever  puller  and  had  to push bottom in and  decant  to filter the  crumbs.  Lot lesser  wine’d  done  just  fine and  a little light  with vinegar  gravy  red cabbage and  dumplings but  now  I never  need  to worry. Tom said I checked and  is about $50. I said’d be  a  2006 on as ’04 and ’05 been unavailable some  time. Had it  with 3 I love leastwise.

Wines were  ones  Jadot handle  but not  produce,  Beaune Premier  Crus  but  great value.   I was  telling  Thierry of  the  summer   ’74  we  drove  to  Tarragonia  Spain down the  Loire.  Tom was  1 and  cutting teeth when  we  tried  to nap about  4 AM in  a  stop.  WOW.  Finally  got  café and  croissants and  pressed  on.  On the  way back  we  spent  the  night  in   Vienne  to have  lunch at  La  Pyramide, Fernand Point’s  3  star  (max  at  the  time) birthplace of post  war  French  cuisine. Trained  all the big  time  Lyon chefs  to come. Tom sat  quietly chewing  a  duck leg   and  they loved  him . I got  to tour  the kichen.  Big middle  of  Beaujolais  producers and  began to like   them better. Discovered Julienas  ( Caesar) .

Oddest  thing  on  the  trip to coastal condos below Barcelona Dorly’s  friends  from Trier  owned  was  the local fish market . Some  of  this and  some of  those and  go eat them fresh on  the  deck   and  a  olive oil salesman came  to the door. Better  was the  bodega where  you took   bottles and  they filled em up.  Was  Mon,  Aug  9th and  I saw a headline coming  back from  buying fish, NIXON DIMITIR  with a  half  age  picture.  Meant  POTUS  and  VP both resigned in  disgrace  and  elevated  to VP next in  line  Speaker Jerry Ford now my commander in chief.  Guess  we used to have  Rule  of Law. 8

Kids will go down I-10 E to  her  folks  at  Weimar for  turkey so they sprung   for  us  at  The Fig  tree  last  eve.  A Louis  Jadot Vintner’s  dinner, 5  courses  and   desert; paired with a  wine   Cote de Beaun  white  and  red  burgundy with   2008 Vintage port.  Escargot  pastry, rabbit pasta, dover  sole  with crab and  shrimp,  quail with truffles  and  pate,  braised  Wagyu  short  rib.  Wonderful service and commentary  by  Thierry Pfumettaz , nice   French Swiss  Jadot  rep.  Patio  with finger  stuff and  Tattinger Brut overlooks  the  river  bend  before  Arnison  Theater on  opposite side barges  floating past.  Lights coming on  so I walked up to a  tall blond  fellow and  said, “My,  Isn’t the gym looking  lovely tonight. ” Got  a blank stare,was  Mssr. Pflumettaz. I asked had he  seen Back to the  Future and  explained  the  gym turned  into Romance  under  the  Sea  with  B’ball goals hauled up, tables and a  dance floor.  Talked  wine  a lot.

La  Villita  is  site of  Night  in  Old  San Antonio(NIOSA) at  fiesta  when we  avoid  entirely  unless  some never  seen it  are  on visit.  Dates to rebuilding and restoration to near  original area  village  after ’68 Hemisfair  when Hilton Palacio Del Rio and  Tower  were built and  both restaurants, Little  Rhein Steak House, next door  in 1971 . Quality  has  varied greatly currently  superb. Terraced area on river  has  a  plaque  on  the patio dating  dedication  by WPA of  FDR March 1937. Bult  by  Civilian Conservation Corps  boys . My  dad had   been one in  Oklahoma 1930, out  of  school out  of  work. I  mentioned March was  6 months before I was  dedicated in  Sept.  Nice  evening had  by all.  Of  course  I’m completely out of  table  talk  not  hearing a  thing.  Dr’s  read my  CAT scan and  wants a  quick operation  scheduled.  Sigh. 8

PT’s  spent  the  week  busy as  hell  between  Caborca , Hermosillo,  Tucson and   now  was just hitting  I-10  back W of  Phoenix.  Plans to be  home  for  Thanksgiving  unless  called  back. Yes, as supposed was factor  of a previous declined offer  was why went  back up to  Tucson. Means a  bit of  auction or  why  bother?  Back at  the  Rancho, Miner  Big  wants  another  week on  own DD and  they do not  celebrate the  holiday.  Elusive  bird  seems  to get  fatter  by the  day.  I told  him we   appear to have  joined hands  across the msg  bd  borders and  he  seemed pleased  at  some  firm support.  Don’t make  a  Tinker’s  Dam to him since he’ll do exactly  what needs to be  done regardless.  I feel we’re  going  to find what  the  honest cooperation  he’s provided in  Sonora  will blossom into  more than  we  can imagine as  the  industry  grows  there close  as  possible  the  old  USA.  That  Mexus group’s  doing  the  actual footwork is   the best  at  what  they  do in  a  small city.  All you  really need to succeed in a  small pond   is  good  brothers  and  sisters  and  smart  cousins! We  robbed  the geology  grads and  banking  industry  there  for sure.  I’ll buy their  SW Air  tickets  again any  day! Some  day I’ll hang  my  1st  R Share copy  like  Rob McEwen  and  Bill Reid their   Major  Exchange  1st  day shares. THEN  another 1st day  when offfa  the  OTC at  last.  Costs  a  lot  for  a  one off  broker  assist  mailed  to house   but  well worth the  cost in  pure heart ache!

Personal matters, had a  temporal bone CAT Scan  with and  without contrast  dye to try to find  why  hearing  came back some  since  Aug 20 infectious  inflamed left  hear  process  then reversed. Always been able  to least  count on  that  even after losing  the  right  ear  to 20 year erosion aviation pressure  involvement. Try 10K’ to 1K’ in  30 sec  and  back over  and over . Get in  car  and  hit  starter  and until the  tach moves you don’t  know is  running .  Down to about  10%  watching  closed  caption stuff and  she  writes  notes.  Never got an aid  but  if  an operation  clean out  skull  Mr  Plumber  doesn’t  work out? Just  shout into my  chest.  Naw , they’re  tiny and  good and  many   can run on same  batteries  as   the old  pacemaker!  Usta  be a bad  ear and a  good  ear so I’d  turn the left  ear  towards a  sound  source.  Since  the bad  ear  was  really a  no ear now  I’ve a  bad  ear. Save a lotta   head  swivels. Just get close  stick in yer face and  read lips. Thunder  don’t  scare me no more. Sorta  hits ya  where ya  live or  least can  hang  out and  chat  some  wid  yo buds! 8

While I’m  assuming one of  the  current  palaverations  will meet  scratch,  best  safer than sorrier.  I’m arranging  low interest newer  teaser   credit ( they’re  BACK…) to stretch on into  late  2015. Got  some nice   zeros%, 1.99% and  one  large  4.99% covering   increases  up to 20.99% expire  in  Dec.  Let em go  fallow  a while  and  they often return after  a  time.  My own little  fertile  financing ploy many  think stupid and   laugh online  but  always  worked  thus  far.  In case it ‘s  deemed  go alone as best plan I’m prepped.  And  yes, new  Sept home  equity  refinance   4.15% from 2008  6%   lopped  $350 off for  a  15 year  not  old  30 year  loan with mortgage interest  deduction.  Allowed  a  bunch of  the  low pps placements  since  Jan to accumulate certain a  rise  to even .05  clears  all. One  decent  agreement PR home  free. If  not it  gets me  to Dec  2015 still manageable.  Uses  other people’s  cash to hit  the  long  baggers as  always. Not  recommended  for all as  I am assured  we’ll survive  any  hit and  come  out  other  side  as ever. Not be  long  until can say 2014  was   biggest  opportunity since  Oct  ’08!

Fiscal year   starts  April 1.  When  it  says San Felix JV  was  sold  fourth qtr is  then correct  as  in 2014 a  bit odd.  This is interesting  now that   Atzek bought   us  out! No Silver  Pursuit   in  the  statement

“In March, 2014, we sold our 50% interest in the Joint Venture to Atzek Mineral S.A. de C.V.”

Not  much said of  ongoing  dealings   but   14,825,000 shares  were issued  in the  Oct 1 – Nov 19  period.  Reflects  the  declining PPS with still need  to raise  funds.  Loss per share  a  tiny  2/10 cent   reflecting  ops  shut  down in negotiations.   Can see  the URES 40%  split  now  over  as  of  July  with  just  $50K required  to take  the  leases after  5 years.  Accumulative  deficit  $15,717, 804  in  5 years since  Oct  28, 2009.

Still see that  wide  Hectares  vary  from Lemas   2102 1,340 to SEC docs  4000 estimate.  I’d use the  4K . Thing  simply  awaits  a  partner to move  fwd any  time  soon.  Just  a  What’s  new, 10Q?

There’s been no real drilling  program recent. Was  said  108′ submitted  but was  older  logged  stuff  sitting  around I imagine  to have  some  licensed  report  of  content. Any decent  mine  or  miner  can assay for  own intents and  is always ongoing to assure  digging  and  milling, heaping, floating  ore in  right  spots.  If Miner Big takes  the  JV will not be  needing drill hole  proof  for  any  financing  I’d  wager  just  for  proper  course  of  action in mine plan. PT could  tell them that  in  bout 30 minutes slow  talking and  driving.

Brokerage will not allow  same  day  ask and  bid or  are  warned in linked  accounts    but  is  always possible  to sell  one  day down and buy next  day still down.  UN linked  acts  they can’t  really  tell who’s  who. Even online  trades under   a few  thou, fee is  killing  you both sides in the  pennies. Means  sell small and  buy  BIG! Lotta  effort so always best  to take  advantage  someone’s  stupidity   like  Obama’s  WH thinks. 8

Freshly  down from the mount! Recognize  anyone? 8

Genesis  1:1  In the  beginning….

6.  Decisions are often made based on personal needs, not for the shareholders.

So many of the managers of the junior companies run out of money personally and start making very bad decisions. We recently saw one company that sold all of its assets to survive with a small amount of cash….. and they gave up on a deal that would have actually given their shareholders a great benefit!!!!! This is scary and shareholders have no control over it.

Good  gravy, I got  a like  from I-hub!! Here, RB and  there  makes  a  3 wheeler, what  every  kid  wants  for  Christmas. In Russia’s  called  a  troika, team of  3 pulling  together. Now  just a  good  set of  sleigh bells and  ring  in  the  New! Out  with the  discouraging   Old; half  full as it  became. Thanks  to all, keep plugging as  I do know PT’s at  it  24/7.

Since I’m not in  the  business  nor inclined to sell my  services ( done  at  enormous  personal effort  and  cost)  I give a  flying  fig  if  investors  like me or  despise  me.  I do think respect  is  due  just  like  who you’d  follow into  combat at  great  risk.  The  notion  that  past  can’t  predict  the future  gets a  bit stale  after   many   successful  missions behind  enemy  lines  and  safe  return of  most  to the  fold.  I love  “Patton” and  watch it over and over when I can. G C Scott  caught the essence  of  the prickly  great  general  if not  the  high nasal tones.  I always  recall  1st  viewing in  1970.  I was on  15 min runway alert  at  the  Spang Nuc Alert  Facility and  we  got  early  Base theater  16MM copies of  running  movies to help pass pretty  boring  72  or  96  hour tours. Sometimes  back to back just  change bed sheets with a  new  crew.  Night  Patton  came in I’d  my  choice  of that  or  visiting  with Dorly  at the  O’Club  until 10 PM with a  “brick” Motorola  hand  radio for  recall. I chose  a beautiful blue  eyed  blonde  over ugly   big nosed George  C.  When I got back  I put it back on, popped new  popcorn  and  sat  to watch it  by myself. I was  stunned  so put it  back on and  watched  a  2nd  time.   Patton was a hero to those in  N.  Africa,  S.  Italy, all  France and  across Europe  he  liberated  but  GREATLY respected  by  those he  defeated but  also liberated  dong  so.  To Luxembourgers  Saint George   killed  the  dragon AND Hitler.  No normal activity remotely   compares  to mortal combat but  some  principles  do apply.

Il nous faut de l’audace, encore de l’audace, toujours de l’audace! [3] Early  French Revolutionist Georges  Danton. Not  Freddy the  Great.  [3]   We must dare, dare again, always dare!

My best  advice is  fall in  and  we march together no love required. Unlike me  or no, I speak on pretty  even terms  with PM Moguls, investment advisors and also  general populace seeking  for   precious metals  gain. Not  easy  to come  by  and  with a  half  century’s  notable  flair of style ‘s  hard   to copy,  try as  will.  Never took much money to achieve , simply  persistence. Cost  was  entirely   my investments,  timed  well…. thus  far. Another  great  movie I can  watch and watch from  the  bottom rank perspective is “The  Sand Pebbles”. In Aug  ’66  It was  a  big  full 4  story advertisement  in  Bangkok  theater on  Petchburi  Rd   across from  James  Quality Jewelers.  My B-57s  were  the  first  jet  aircraft  transferred  into SEA via Clark AB PI from Japan in  ’64. It meant  a  source of GI cash during  R&R    5  days off each 60 day TDY they tried  to fit on  the sortie  sched, usually  one a  day sometime  both, early  and late  for  twice. James Quality still visited   USAF  O Clubs stateside to not  long  past. They’d drive you  around Bangkok  in a Mercedes  after  you  sat in  A/C comfort  sipping  cold beer  and chatting with pretty  sales  staff  then a  5  course dinner on  the river. Really  good prices  for  quality gems and  gold and  they made a  bundle still. The  Bott  was   .05 and  a  carton of  GI BX Salems or  Kools ( loved menthols)  at  $1 hired  you  a  taxi all night .  Officers club in  town was  the Maneda  Hotel by main Post Office across the  street  from  luxus Oriental Hotel which had  a pet monkey up in  a  small tree  house you  could feed peanuts. Was  where  you  took the  prop engine  narrow  tour boats  along the  klongs for river tour. You see  in the  movies  a  small 4 cylinder   motor driving  a  long shafted  prop on swivels and  balanced neatly. As  you  toured  the rear stilted  houses each had  on display the  required   2 pictures  of  the  King and  Queen. Nice looking  young  then in 1960’s.  Tour  guide always pointed  put the  balcony   had  Laurel and Hardy instead.  Wound  up at  town floating  market  then back to Oriental  on  big Chao Phraya river  flowing  S to Siam Gulf. Greenest  damn county you’ll ever  see.

When I finally  watched   McQueen’s Sand Pebbles in  English  I noted  the notion of  protecting  own rice bowl.  When some   no-nothing  attacks whatever reason  a  mine share I’m working my  tail off  to   see  succeed? THAT’s MY rice  bowl so stand  prepared  to defend the nonsense as I deem it and  usually, no matter, I know  better  the  actuality below  surface and  above . 8

PT’s back up to whomever’s  in  Tucson after  weekend in  Sonora  then will traipse back to Caborca. Up/down I -19. That  would  seem someone  previous out wants to be  back in and  least match the major  in Caborca or  would not be in  travel mode  if Yes to  Sonora.  Was correct  a  PR was  possible  today but  you  count yer  chips  when dealing’s  done. Man’s  a  drive-a- maniac  but  Cessna’s  got  2  busted  pots in  shop and he  draws no pay .  We’ll know when and  if  we know the  week results. SIGH….

Well, I’ve  got  lots  to do around  the house  prior next Polar Vortex. Keep warm folks. If real lucky’ll   have  a lady  to bundle warm and await  POG Spring. 8

PT Jr  ship and  bunch of  old site  visits  San Felix, Caborca,  Oaxaca never  posted  here.  Damn, useta  really  get  around.  Lethargy’s slow death. Need a nice porch  rocker. 8

Is  there  ANY feel has  relevance  today much  beyond  Moron IQ?Moron (IQ 50-69)  La la la la  life  goes  on…. HEY! Worst  possible  way to be  in profit?  A year late !http://ragingbull.com/forum/topic/1015723

Last  Nov  were  trying to unload  Kenneth’s   10 year old Folly after  doing  Sonora  State  a  BIG favor leading  to his  arrest  after Federal   Police struggle in our  Caborca  office.   Turned  out  to be  a  $10 million but  non-producing property with that  value.  Sold  our  50% in March for  total $5 million  come  this March or  regain  own  50% of  the  $10 million value  with   no idea    current  product state except  are  told that JV is “PLEASED”and  should to proceed  as  contracted. About  all you  can assume  with honest  partners for a  switch!

Since ? Have been in  constant negotiations  with majors  having  an interest in  Mexus  prime  holding. All so far are rejects as  too little for  too much.  Now  told we  have  a  basis this week after  4  weeks  DD and  STILL other interests  if   it falls  through being  met  with.  Frankly , my  friends…  and  foes ?  I can’t  even IMAGINE there has   EVER  existed such a  2.8  cent stock! 8
