Another good interview with Jim, but light/dark problems persist. Topics talked about here include: extracting of gold, silver & aluminum, prices for different precious metals, his idea of money (“If I have ten bucks in my pocket, I’m happy”) and stories about the bombing range.
“When they make a pass in a plane, you drive… If you have a brain in your head, you leave the live ones and don’t pick them up. The problem is that so many go out and try to defuse anything.”
Jim tells intriguing tales, but the baseball cap he wears does case a dark shadow over his face. The can of Old Milwaukee beer never leaves hand while on camera and adds a humorous angle to his talk on precious metals. - Creation Date
