Now I get to Work on Fixing up the Silverardo

 I've got to replace the lights on the dashboard and replace the handles on the back hatch. The first thing to do is to install the receiver hitch and the wiring for trailers. 

It'l keep me busy for a while. I'm tempted to keep the pickup and donate the Jeep to someone. I'll be able to tow a nice, small trailer with it. 

At least I now have options. A trailer is being sold on an online auction this Thursday. I might bid $500 for it. I doubt that I'll get it. 

I might do some classes today. I'll look for something to link to.



 
This is just for fun. Later

I Bought a Chevy pickup Last Night.

 I bought one of the pickups I bid on last week. At $500 I should be able to make a profit on it: if I don't just keep it for myself. Now I have to find cheap, used quarter panels and a cargo bed. Tomorrow I'll get it licensed and insured. I'll try to find parts online and over the phone. 

Next week I'll go to Carroll and I'll look into the salvage yard, there. Being a Chevy, I should have no trouble finding parts.

Bitcoin is fluctuating. I've got to learn not to watch it much. It's a waste of time. I might set up an automatic buy order every couple of weeks.

Bitcoin is Roaring Back

 Bitcoin is over $70,000 so it came back from $63,000 in a couple of days. I've got to hold on this time. 

Tomorrow I'll find out if I'll own a couple of pickups. I'm a bit fearful that I might get them both. If I do I'll put the best one up for sale and hang on to the worst one. I do hope I get one. We'll see. 

I have an online conference to go to today. Later

Opening the Bids is Tuesday night.

 They'll open the bids on the pickups next Tuesday at the City Council Meeting. It's at 6:00 P.M.

I'm anxious about spending money until I find out if I have to pay for a pickup or two. I'll cook my own meals until Tuesday night. I'm afraid that they were such pieces of shit trucks that no one else will want them. At $500 apiece I might have overbid. 

On the good news side: I got the fingerprint reader working on the old computer. That's something. I think I'll get rid of the new computer. It's crap anyhow. 

I think I'll link Johnny Bravo, tonight.

I bid on a couple of Pickups and now I'm afraid I might get them, Both

 I put a couple of sealed bid offers on two pickups (owned by the city) and now I'm worried that I might get them both. If I get both of them I'll have to sell some Bitcoin. And I don't want to. I think someone will outbid me. 

I need to do more homework for National Able. I find it hard to find time and the discipline to do it. I just have to grab an hour or two when I can do it. Well I think I'll go online and do some homework. Later.

Crypto waivered so I fixed a couple of Laptops

 I worked mainly on my new (old) computer today. It's new to me but old in years. Its biggest problem was a dead AC adapter. I think it also has a bad CMOS battery and it definitely had a bad main battery. 

I should have been working on a presentation about crypto for the Quwanis club. I may have misspelled that.

The other computer (the new one) seems to be working better with Mint Edge on it. In fact, they both seem to be better. It will take some time to see if all the intermittent problems are gone.

It's time to go to bed. Later

If Bitcoin makes new all-time highs tomorrow I'm going to buy a new Car Radio

 Bitcoin has been extremely volatile lately. It went over 73 k and then it sold off by about 7%. It's a real rollar coaster. 

I would like having a radio with a rear camera and GPS. I like knowing what's behind me and I'm tired of getting lost. 

I hope that when I wake up Bitcoin is over 74 k.
