Sunday February 21, 2016

We only had 50 or a little more people come by for cheese and conversation. Catalina was not feeling well so I actually had to have fun for a change. I loved interacting with several of people who like our wine. I do admit my right foot got  strange and fell a sleep at times, bad back but i sat down for a few minutes.......`

I enjoyed myself as I said so I hope to project myself out more times...........

I have not given up so I have spent  hours working on the VinNOW software conversion. It is not easy to convert everything from QuickBooks to VinNow as I have said before. I have worked with excel and I think I am doing better and may have something to upload to VinNOW. I don't give up...............

8::30 Pm: I feel I am on an adrenaline high. It has been three weeks almost when we should have upload a file. We did it today and it looks like we are moving into the 21 first century. I am joking. We have done well in this century also we are into VinNOW. It has been another busy day, does that mean hard, no. I like to have unpredictable things happen. I remember back

in probably 1976, but could be 77,78..............Look, I know that word is used too much BUT I was making a lot of money on this new computer stock.........THINK, back in the 70's Solar was the big thing like maybe 3D Printing now so computer start ups were the big thing Then.  Well back then all the solar companies failed. I was so upset because I would never buy a gas stock.........and now I may be right......Could oil go away.....I sure hope.........Just look at the front of my Tesla.......nothing but storage, no engine, all batteries on on the bottom of the car..........I digress........I am on a roll.......So this nice back in the mid 70's, computer stock........everything then sounded good to a stock player like me. I was up $20,000, back then a lot of money. So I charted this stock on a vacation and thought I would be much richer soon. OK you know the stock tanked and I did not know why, even the analysts were confused............I don't know it could have been because Nixon resigned. I do not want to blame Nixon. It just put many companies wondering what would happen next............

So the Barrel Tastings come up. We are short on help for the second week...........

It will be fun on the two first weeks of March.......Barrel Tasting. For me for sure. I make some money.......

So we can get into the more unimportant things relating mostly about me........I hate to keep reporting this but some may not know........This is my diary

Tesla is an amazing transformation. It is making me think about the future. If we want to survive this company is the first one to consider. Most of you know, Elon wants to be the first person on Mars. See the movie but it could happen. Soon, and I think to the future there will not be enough room for all of us, I think the pollution with all our bodies, everything here, excrement could be a problem, maybe 100 years....................even if we clean up other problems

So Elon wants to be prepared for escape from our planet...............It will be interesting.........

I have said before I remember the past, why is that? Some of us I know do not remember the past in the same way as I do as I do.  I remember things that Rush in my head every night.

Way before my winery even my vineyard purchase and way before I bought my house in Fairfax, I was in a class room at City College in San Francisco, a great College..........1966

with a person student I had great respect because he was so good at everything those days. We were in this class just talking. He asked "But why do you remember things back that far? we were only 24 years old..........so I said that I had things pop in my mind from the past, not maybe important and he said, "Wow", I wished that happened to me..........I thought it was normal because we all have things pop in and out of our mind and we hope to learn?

I still have that experience. Some times things pop in my mind. I hope you have that great experience like me...........

It has been a few weeks so I am trying to mellow out..............VinNOW is going to be in here for 5 days........
