Waiting for Money to Come in.

I'm just waiting for some money to come in so I can to Colorado and California to prospect for gold.
My crypto mining operation isn't working very well. I got the new graphics card but it doesn't work well with any of my computers. I think the memory and such is just too slow.
As it is, I'm making about $1.00/day with my operation. That's probably as good as it gets without spending much money on new computers and such.
On other news. My coin sold and I'll have about $7,000 from it's sale.
I'll be using the money to finance my prospecting trip. I plan on starting an "LLC" company so if I go bust again at least it will be the business that's bankrupt and not me.
That's a mistake I made in 2015. I went heavily in debt because of the trip to California.
I'm going to do things differently, this time. I'll be living out of my van instead of living in motels and apartments.
Before I go West I'll try to find gold near here.
I intend to keep my expenses down; I should do better.
We'll see.

I Need a Goal

I was reading something that was talking about how goals animate people it made me think about how goal-less I am.
I kept busy for a while, starting my crypto mining operation, but now that it's going, I don't have anything to occupy my time.
The mining farm isn't really making much money but it's going to take some real money to improve it.
It'll have to wait until after I get my money from the sale of the rare coin. That'll be after May 11th.
I bought a graphics card that should improve my mining when I thought I had money coming from the sale of the coin right away. Now, I'm wondering how I will meet my bills for this month.
I'm hoping for more snow this weekend. I'm afraid it's too late in the season for me to make much more money shoveling snow but anything will be appreciated.
Everything is on hold until I get that check.
I'm hoping to visit the East Coast and tour some Civil War battlefields.
After that, I'll go west and pan gold for a while.
Before going to California, I'm going to try to find gold around here. I'll be going to a small town named Eldorado and see if I can find rocks with gold in the and then crush the rocks to pan them out.
I doubt if I'll find much but it would be better than running all over the country to search for gold.
Maybe I'll get back to you.
