I think crypto currencies are going down because they always do on the weekend. I'll buy back in on Monday. I bought the ruble with my Lite coin money. I don't trust the dollar and I think the ruble has been hammered due to the Ukraine crisis.
I looked at a motor home, today. It looks like my new home. It's old (1976), but it's in good shape. Maybe they stored it indoors.
It's snowbound so I couldn't drive it. I'll have to wait for the snow to melt before I can drive it. It will probably need a new refrigerator. They said that it needs the coolant to be recharged. I think if it's that old I'll need the old type of coolant and that stuff is illegal, now.
They're only asking $1000 for it so maybe I shouldn't quibble. I have about $800 worth of gold and silver that I could use for it. Maybe they'll take it.
If I get a motor home there won't be much stopping me from going to California and panning for gold. The membership papers for the "New 49"s" club came yesterday. I have to fill them out and get insurance for accidents related to mining and pay a transfer fee. Then I'll have a membership to pan for gold on any of 60 claims in California and Arizona.
The biggest thing stopping me from going is waiting for my tax refund. I'll file my taxes next Tuesday. It should take about 6 weeks to get the refund. I also need to sell my etchings. I'll get one listed on EBay today, yet.
I'm thinking of selling them at a charity auction. I would see if I can get the first $150 and let the charity keep the rest. Maybe I could get rid of all of them. That would be a load off of my mind.
I have to make a list of things that I need to do before I head out. I should also make a list of things that I should have before I head out. The first thing is a good refrigerator. Then I should get solar panels for the RV as well. Sturdy clothes would be a good idea, as well. I'll be lucky to get out of here before next winter. Maybe, I'll stay until next year. I could make a lot of money, shoveling snow. It looks like that is over for this year but I could clean up next year.

LTC to da Moon
My cryto currency (Lite Coin) took off this morning. I bought in at 12.8 and it's now 18.5. At one time it was almost 22. I had the feeling that the Ukrainian crisis would drive it up. It was surprising how low the manipulators drove the price before it took off. I figure that I made $120 in about 4 hrs. Of course, it was in the middle of the night. I don't know how I'm ever going to get any sleep and trade crypto currencies.
On other news, I haven't heard about my gold coins getting to the "New 49ers" gold prospecting club. I'll have to call them today.
I'm thinking of only going out there for a couple of weeks, this summer. That way I won't have to quit my job. Next winter I might quit my job and make money, shoveling snow. I can make a lot more money at that then working at the Peace Center. I'm tired of being around all of those liberals anyway.
Gold prospecting on the Klamath River is a seasonal thing. It snows and freezes the river and ground around it. Apparently the snow gets deep as well. I'll figure on coming back here in the winter.
Maybe I'll join another gold prospecting club and go to Arizona in the winter. There is one called the "Gold Prospectors Association of America". They have the rights to hunt for gold on hundreds of claims across America. I could just go south in the winter.
I have to say that if I wanted to I could make a lot of money shoveling snow, right here. People with snow blades on their pickups are charging $35 for about 5 minutes of plowing. I could do the same job with a scoop shovel and charge $15. I could make over $100/day. I could go door to door most every day and pick up a ton of money. I used to do that when I was a teenager. Nothing changes. Well, I've got to take a shower and go to a thing at the VA clinic for weight loss. I think the snow shoveling does me more good than they do.

Watching the snow and Lite coin come down
I'm at the CO-OP where I shovel snow in the evenings and on weekends. I just shoveled the front and by the parking lot. I'll get at it again in about an hour.
Crypto currencies have been going down all day. I've lost about 5 or 10 dollars. I'm thinking of staying out this weekend. It's still moving down because of the Mt. Gox scandal. It looks like they are going bankrupt. That will be a good thing because it will put it behind us. In a week or two I'll jump back in with both feet.
I'm still waiting to hear from the "New 49'ers". That's a gold mining club that I'm trying to get a membership for. They are in Northern California. I sent a thousand dollars worth of gold coins for a membership, last week. It hasn't gotten there yet. Maybe it will, tomorrow.
I just checked my e-mail and it showed the gold has arrived there. Now I have to pay a transfer fee and I'm in.
I hope to go there for the Summer season. Maybe I can find enough gold to make it really worth it. I'll have to live in a tent but I'm ready.
Of course, whenever I mention this to anyone around here they bad-mouth the idea. These people have no sense of adventure. You have to risk something in order to make money. What I'm risking is money, creature comforts, and a secure job. The rewards are great:
I don't know what happened to blogspot but it really messed up the list I just made.
Maybe it's the Nook. I really wish that I had bought a laptop instead.
I have to get back to shoveling.

It' 11 below and the ice is like a rock.
I've been scraping ice, lately, and I'm worn out and generally beat. I've gotten the ice beaten back to the point that I shouldn't have trouble with snow shoveling.
More snow is on the way for Friday and the weekend. I'll be ready for it.
I'm making a lot of money, shoveling snow; I wish I could say the same about Bitcoins. That is just losing money.
It just keeps going down on the news about Mt. Gox. I keep getting out and try to get a better price, later, but I can't time things perfectly. I've lost over $100 in the last week. The snow shoveling isn't keeping up with my losses with crypto currencies.
I bought a membership at the "New 49'ers". That's a gold mining club in California. They own about 40 claims on the Klamath River. I sent off 8 small gold coins to pay for a membership. It's still in the mail. I'm tracking it. It's in Waterloo, right now.
I would like to go out there this summer, but I don't think I'll get out there until next year.
I like the idea of finding gold and hoarding it. I have more faith in gold than I do in our currency. That is part of the reason I got into crypto currencies. I feel that the dollar will collapse and take the rest of the world down with it. Oh well. I'm trying to do all that I can to prepare for that eventuality, but it's hard when you are as poor as I am.
I find myself still buying "junk drawers" on EBay. After finding one with a gold chain that is worth $200 I'm tempted to repeat my triumph and find a silver coin going for a few dollars. I bought a couple of them, yesterday in the hopes that some of the coins in them were actually silver and worth something. We'll see, next week.
Well, that's all I have for now.

It's been a While
I haven't been keeping up my blog like I should. I've been busy with snow shoveling and trading crypto currencies. The snow shoveling has been profitable; I can't say the same about crypt currencies.
I'm in fiat right now. That means that I don't own any currency except the dollar. Bitcoins and Litecoins seem to be in a down trend, I think it's related to the troubles at Mt. Gox. That's a large Bitcoin exchange. People can't get their money out of it. It's driving the whole market down.
In other news, I might be buying a membership at the"New Forty-niners". It's a gold mining club. They have a lot of mining claims on the Klamath River in Northern California.
I can buy a membership for $1000. I offered to pay in gold since I didn't have that kind of money available, quickly. They said that they would take it.
I have to make a few phone calls and make it happen.
I'm meeting Loula in a few minutes. I'm at Java Johns, drinking coffee. What else would I be doing at a coffee shop?
I'm going to try to get Loula a job, mopping the floor, here. I do it, now and then. I would rather see Loula do it. I'm busy enough. It doesn't really fit in with my schedule.

Bought Maxcoin
I moved some money into a different exchange and bought something called Maxcoins. They are a crypto currency promoted by Max Keiser. He has a show on RT which is Russian news station, on the Internet.
So far, it's doing OK. I ended up paying for an upgraded account on the exchange. It was offering a small percentage of the fees incurred by all of the members. I felt it was worth a try. It only lasts for 14 days so I'll see by then if it's worth the $25 that I had to spend for it.
I started the day being down in the dumps. Before I got out of bed I was thinking about how poverty has defined me all of my life. Every time that I traded something on the various markets that I've traded, I've been trying to break out of poverty.
It's always a trap. The stock market, options market, commodity markets are just ways of transferring money from the poor to the rich. Nothing has worked; not even real estate.
I sometimes feel that we are slated to stay in the class that we are born into or move down.
This makes preparing for the financial collapse that much harder. In fact, I feel that it is a lost cause.
One of the things I was thinking about, this morning, that put me in a negative mood was that I'm too poor to meet a suitable woman.
Not only is poverty a major problem but being a survivalist narrows the field of potential matches considerably.
I found a matching service on the Internet named "SurvivalistSingles". At least I can find women with similar outlooks; and maybe they won't consider me to be a total nut job. Unfortunately, I haven't found any near me on that site.
I was just talking with a guy named Mike. I found out that he was a lawyer. He works as a barista at Java Johns. He told me that I have to fill out a claim form to get my money out of Delphi for the bonds that I bought years ago. I'll have to send a letter to Wilmington Trust and get the form. Maybe I can finally get my money from Delphi.
At least there is some hope and a direction to go in to get my money out. Maybe there is hope after all.

Well I'm out of the RV
My bid expired on the RV in California. I don't think I'll make another offer as it's too hard to go get it. It's too far away.
It looked like a nice RV but I don't know what the engine is like or anything. I don't know how I would get it off of their lot in a timely fashion. I called Faye and she assured me that I couldn't count on her to help in any way, shape or form. I knew that I couldn't count on her for anything. She did help me financially a year or so ago, when I needed the engine replaced on my van.
The only way I can see that I'll get an RV is to wait for my brother to die. I'm in his will so maybe that is my only hope.
I guess I could load up the van and take off in it, next summer. I would have to live in a tent or hammock but I could travel around and metal detect on beaches and look for gold. If I lose my job, I think I'll do that.
Crypto curriencies are taking a dive, today. A company named Mnt Gox is having troubles getting people's money out of crypto currencies. That's causing the whole market to dive. It will take me about 3 days to get my money back to Bit coins but I'll do that next week as I see this as a buying opportunity.
It's snowing today but I haven't really shoveled much. I'm waiting for it to stop a bit. It's not obliging. I may have to just get up and get to shoveling. When I get my RV and go traveling I won't miss the frozen North. I think I'll go to Arizona and New Mexico. I've had my fill of snow.
It looks like I'll have to go out and shovel.
