The Censors are taking "Turley talk" off of YouTube.

 I don't know hew he's kept his vlog going this long but they'll be taking it off soon. We live in a communist country. It's probably worse here than in China.

Here is a link to one of the last Turley talks.

I found the Ledger

 I found the Ledger in my battery drawer. I don't know how it got there. I had it connected to it's cable. I must have swept it into that drawer when I was cleaning the top of the desk.

Now I can get Sara to help me set it up next Wednesday. It's too complex for me alone. 

Here is a good youtube video on Bitcoin.

i lost my Ledger

 I couldn't find my Ledger (Bitcoin self-custody device). I was going to get Sara help me get it working.

I looked everywhere but I couldn't find it. I'll keep looking tonight.

I bought a 3 drawer dresser today on an online auction. I picked it up today. It was heavy and it's missing a handle. I've got it in the living room. It's ugly and I think I'll put it in the basement. It's metal and it's heavy. I'm not looking forward to tanking it down to the basement; maybe I;ll use the 2 wheel cart. 

I'm watching Peter Schiff on YouTube. He's on a rant and it's good.

Watching New Hampshire's Returns.

 Trump is winning in New Hampshire. That's no surprise. I'm watching Stex Hexinhammer. He has good political commentary. I watch him every day.

Sara (my psychological nurse) is coming tomorrow. We're going to make sure my Bitcoin is in Ledger. It's a bit complicated for me.

Went to my Gambling Counselor

I went to see my counselor this morning. After February I won't be getting counseling for gambling.

   After March I won't be getting any counseling. It's just as well. I don't really do any gambling anyway. 

It's warmed up. It's in the high 20's. It's a heat wave.

I'm still struggling with Ubuntu

'm still fighting with Ubuntu.  I've got it working but it still doesn't see the fingerprint reader. I can see software that doesn't see the reader.I don't know what to do next. 

I need to get ready for church. At noon I'm going to the rec center and I'll listen to church in Oceanside, CA. I'll be on an exercise bicycle. I listen over the phone.

I'm fighting Ubuntu

 I couldn't get the fingerprint reader to work so I'm loading  Ubuntu. Only a nerd would know what I'm talking about, but it's a real struggle. I really don't want to learn Ubuntu but i'll have to.

More Snow on the Way

 We're supposed to get 2 to 4 inches of snow by tomorrow. I'll be shoveling tonight and maybe tomorrow.

I'm watching a You/tube segment about Bitcoin. They are making the case for taking self-custody. I agree with them bu I have to get my Ledger wallet working.

Shoveling Snow

 Yesterday, I shoveled North of the Rec Center, next to Main Street. It was cold and hard. But I got it done.

Today. Sara is coming at 10:00. I'll get her to help with my time card. It's messed up. 

It's warming up so maybe I'll do more shoveling today. We'll see. That's all for now.

I went to the Caucus

I'll I went to the caucus last night. It was cold and I only went up to 40 mph. My eyesight is getting bad so that was as fast as I felt like driving at night. 

Trump won on the first ballot. I volunteered to be a delegate to the convention in Des Moines'. I doubt that I'll get the job. 

Vivek dropped out this morning but I hope he'll be /trump's vice president.

I need to make a couple of telephone calls.

The Villager is Open

 The Villager ( a restaurant that opens at 6:00) is open again. They were closed because of the weather. 

I gave Sharon a ride to work and swung by the antique store to see if it needed to be shoveled. It didn't.

Now I need to replace my right headlamp. The car parts place opens at 8:00 and I have a meeting with my gambling counselor at 8:30. 

So I'll be busy this morning. I need a nap right now.

It got Colder

 My car's thermometer said it was -23 this morning. Weaterbug said it was -18. The car was too cold to work well.

I had to pick up Sharon this morning (her car didn't work). I'm getting a lot of use of the Artic parka. 

The car doors aren't working well. The car thinks they are;t closing. I'll try putting WD-40 on them to loosen them up.

I need to replace my headlamp (right side) before I go to the caucus tomorrow. I'll be supporting Vivek.

I'm busy with snow shoveling

 Sharon called me and needed a ride. Her car is stuck in the snow.She'll pay me to get it out but I have to do my place as well;  the rec center too.  The wind and snow have tapered off but I still have to deal with last night's drifts. 

I better get busy. I can warm up later.

It's a blizzard

 Today will be dedicated to shoveling snow. The temperature dropped and snow is coming down and blowing all over. 

I didn't have to shovel the antique shop since to wind blew it clean. I went to the Rec Center but Arnold had it cleaned.

My home was a different story. I had to spend an hour to snow blow and shovel it.

It's about time to go to work.

We got the Snow

.I woke up with about 5 inches of snow to shovel. I almost had an accident at the Villager Restaurant. My car almost slid into a pickup. I saved it at the last second.

After breakfast, I shoveled snow at the antique store. and had a cup of coffee at Rosie's.

Over the weekend,I bid on a camper. I only bid $300. I could use it for my trip to Nashville. I could also use it for gold prospecting. 

When I looked at it closer I saw that not only was it a 5th wheel but it was a wreck.I called the auctioneer and got out of it. I just won't be able to buy anything from them again. What a relief.

The trip to the VA didn't take long.

 I thought I would be at the clinic for hours but it only took 15 minutes to have my blood drawn and a urine sample. I was out of there and at a coffee shop in under 20 minutes.I

I'm back in time for lunch and to do this blog. It's about time for lunch to get here.

Snow is on it's way.

 We're supposed to get an inch of snow today and another inch on Monday. It's time for me to break out my snow shovel and snow blower and make some money.

I always say that I will go house to house and shovel for money but never do it. If we get some snow I'll go out and actually shovel some, today. It's time to promote my snow shoveling business.

I almost forgot to blog today

I've got a video conference with my psychologist today and I just remembered that I need to blog. 

I need to convince her that my brother didn't have schizophrenia and my condition was started in the Marines.

They are saying that my condition is genetic. Therefore I can't blame it on the race riot.

That's all for now.

I don't have much to say today.

 I'm just writing this blog because I told myself to do that. I need to journal to improve myself.

Sarah (my social worker) is coming today. She'll be here at 10:00. I need to get my claim for service-related disability going again. It all started in the Marine Corps back in 1970. I have to stick up for myself. 

i need to ask her to read my blog. I need to find out if things work on it. Like I last had a comment over 10 years ago. 

That's all I have for now.

I've still got my job.I

 I was concerned that I might have lost my job for not calling in last week, but I'm still working. 

I need the money to catch up on my credit card. I spent $1000 on the trip to Phoenix. The work also gives me a lot of exercise. 

I called Lazslo but he didn't answer. I left a message on his voicemail. I wonder if he will return the call. I hope he does. 

I need to call the Vivek campaign about my password. I'm also having trouble with my bank password. If you try three times or more to access your account and fail you have to reset your password. I don't know how many times I tried. 

I'm going to work on that.

I've got to force myself to blog.

 The best time to blog, for me, is early in the morning. I really don't have anything going on now so it makes sense to blog. 

Jeffrey Epstein is in the news again. Apparently, more names of his associates are coming out. I hope they jail some of them but they wort. They are too rich. 

Depending on who you watch Ukraine is winning the war. It's settled into a war of attrition and Ukraine seems to be winning it. 

I go back to work today. If I still have a job. I never called in to tell them that I would be late last week. They might fire me. Oh well. 

Crypto is moving up. Probably because of the pending ETF starting. I'm doing well with my Bitcoin and Cardano. 

That's all I have for now.

I'm going back to using this as a journal.

I will use this blog as more of a journal than anything else. I'm only getting one or two readers anyway.

I just got back from a trip to Phoenix. I  went to be with my sister and a cousin named Betty. Last year Faye (my sister) said that Betty's health was bad, but this year she had lost 40 lbs. and looked well.

We had a wonderful Christmas dinner at Betty's place in Sun City. We went to Old Town and the Art Museum. 

I really enjoyed the art exhibit that was a dark room with colored light dangling in midair.

Old Town had a lot of good Western art.

I got lost a few times while looking for a Starbucks. It was good exercise. 

I need to call Lazslow.
