The Bike is a Bargain

 I've been working with ChatGPT and my new bike is a bargain. I'll be able to get it running without too much expense. 

Contrary to what the guy said in Storm Lake, most of the parts that came with the bike are usable and good. I'm going to see if the club at Buenos Vista University will want to do the work. Chat did the hardest part. It would have taken me forever to figure out what I have. Chat did it almost instantly. I can get it running for less than $200. 

I'll be glad to have a bike I can go a long way and faster with. I was getting tired of being passed like I was standing still. I also may be able to ride in Ragbrai. That's a bicycle ride across Iowa. 

I'll only do one day's ride but I haven't been able to do that. Maybe, next year, I'll be able to do the whole thing. 

I think I'll link a video about RagBai


This is something I can work towards.

I bought a bike on an on-line auction.

 And I feel a little cheated. It turned out that it does have a carbon frame with aluminum forks so it's very light. But everything else has to be replaced. They are simply the wrong parts, such as a 3 speed shiftier for a 10 speed bike. The brakes are not there and the tires and tubes are missing. I think I'll make a project out of it. Maybe I can find a mechanic who'll help me. 

I don't know what to link today so I'll run a picture of one of my etchings I'm trying to sell.



Later

Linux is taking off.

 Wherever I look on YouTube I see someone talking about loading Linux. Especially Linux Mint

I think I'll advertise in the newspaper about installing Linux

Here it is a quarter to four and I'm wide awake. I haven't  had a good night's sleep in more than 3 days. I keep waking up early in the morning and then I can't get back to sleep. Maybe I just need to get by on 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. 

I think I'll load something about installing Linux, here. My 2 readers might be interested in it. 


I didn't watch this bu it looked good on the thumbnail.

Here's an interesting video about health care.

 I'm watching this early in the morning. I'm waiting for the sun to come up and I'll go riding the bike. 

It's about health care and how big business is controlling it here.



It lasts a long time but it really dives deeply into our health care corruption.

I don't know what to say todayl

 I need to make a phone call to search for my missing bitcoins. I'll just link something on YouTube. 


I think I'll link the Asian Guy. I watch him all the time. I hope he's right and not just leading me into buying as much silver as I can.

I've been selling silver coins to buy more silver coins.

 The only liquid assets that I have to cover my bids on silver coins at on-line auctions is other silver coins. 

I feel foolish to sell silver to buy more silver. That's to position I find myself in. I still want to buy every pre-65 coin I can get my hands on. I think they'll go to the moon. 

I'm watching something I'll link here.


This is pretty good.
