I tried to trade the crap lousy market all day. collecting 4 rents for -4R and then a plus 2.5R winner. Went to pick kids, and missed two 2R worth seeds.
Jozef got one. He luckily missed all the morning crap because he was not here. good for him.
Then in my anger and frustration I got this.
DS 1 for this ..

Quick Move to BE
3R profit

ps: it was supposed to be 15 lots for this trade but another mechanical mistake. so ~R wish I'm in profit but money wise I'm down, as this trade only made 1/3 of what it should have. damn it immy

Previously was trying ot catch 5 of 3. That 5 turned into a new 3. So TZ1 was deleted. it did not apply anymore.
So that meant another cherry was there to be taken to hit the 5 of 3
6R for the day. I'm done
