Still Looking for my Phone

 I've been looking for my phone for a couple of days now. I had it in a pair of pants that had pockets that were easy for the phone to fall out of. It could be anywhere. 

I picked up some stuff I bought at an online auction at Battle Creek last night. I hate driving at night but I made it. 

It turned cold today and last night. I guess winter is here. 

I think I'll link a song here.

I lost my Phone

 I've been looking everywhere for my phone. I can't find it. I think I had it at work; but I had Sarah call me while I went through the Rec Center and I couldn't find it. I don't know where it went. 

I think I'll link Jaspreet, here.

I finally got my nut covers working on the Silverado.

 All the plastic nuts that hold on my nut covers for the Silverado are tight. It took grinding down the covers themselves to make it work.

I've been getting a lot of exercise, swimming. I've been trying to do 1/2 mile a day. I normally don't get the full swim in; I settle for around 15 to 18 laps instead of the whole 22. I'm feeling tired all the time. It's not bad for a 77 year-old. 

I picked up a form to send to the national archives to see if the reserves had me labeled as crazy back in 1975. 

I'm also waiting to hear from Chris about my private key. He still hasn't received the flash drive. Maybe the feds have it; it could have been stolen. 

I'll link something here.

I gave up Watching Trump.

 I've seen Trump before and I've already voted for him but I'm tired of watching him campaign. 

He's now at Madison Square Garden. It's a massive crowd but I'm tired of it all. 

I'll link it to you in case you haven't gotten tired of it all.

I Don't have anything Today

 Not much is happening today. I think I'll link Dr. Steve Turley and call it quits.

Sarah is Coming Today

 My VA nurse Sarah, is coming today. I don't know what we'll do but I'll find something. Something called Camily is messing up my computer; maybe we can do something about it. And for some reason my phone is getting a lot of videos loaded on it. Maybe she can fix that. 

It's almost 8:30 and Gold and Bitcoin are both down so I might lose with my options today. Oh well, It's been going up strongly, lately. 

I'll insert something here.

I asked the coffee club about real estate with a view around here.

 Unlike the local realtor they knew of several places that had views of the lake and of the river in Sac City.

Apparently the realtor was limited to what came across his desk while the guys at the coffee club simply kept their eyes open when they travel the local area. 

I'm still waiting to hear back from Luther on whether I could finish my degree there. Someone from the Registrar's office said he would call back this week. 

I've got to get ready for work so I'll link something and sign off.





I wanted to have this readily available for my presentation.

I need to talk with my phycologist about entering new info about my Schizophrenia.

 Lauran said I need new evidence to refile a claim for my illness. I'll have to talk with my shrink again. 

I sent the copy of the flash drive to Chris; I hope he finds something on it. Microsoft AI said that simply copying one flash drive to another would be an exact copy. I hope she's right. 

I think I'll link something here.

Both Silver and Bitcoin are going thru the roof.

 I've got a silver and a Bitcoin option. They expire in 2027 so there's a lot of time for them to move. 

I'm looking forward to check my option's prices. 

On a different track, I'm sending a copy of my flash drive to a place that will look for my private key for my 2010 Bitcoins. I hope they find it; it would be worth a fortune if they find it. 

I'm going to hear from the Registrar's office at Luther College, soon. I'm trying to go back and get a Social Work degree. 

I also have to talk to Loran about getting my application for a service-related disability claim. I'll be busy tomorrow.

I think I'll link Stephan Gardener tonight.

I Woke up at 3:00 and Can't get back to Sleep

 Once again I have a sleepless night. I have a lot of balls I'm juggling:

  1.  I'm trying to go back to school for a Social Work degree.
  2. I'm trying to find my 2010 Bitcoins.
  3. I'm trying to get my VA claim to be a service related disability.
  4. I'm getting a presentation ready for the Kiwanis club. 
  5. The currency is collapsing.
I guess it makes sense that I'm having sleepless nights.

I think I'll link some music to help me get back to sleep.

I had a bag of cans break on the way to the redemption center

I got into a hurry and didn't have my load of cans tied down very well going to the redemption center in Lake View. The bags are rather thin and maybe a tie down strap rubbed it wrong. 

Anyway, I wound up running after cans in the parking lot and I looked for them going back to Sac City but they had already blown into the ditches. It was a pain in the butt and it was my own fault.

On that note, I think I'll link something about the Ukraine war. from Denys.

I Woke up early and can't get back to sleep

 I woke at 1:30 and now it's a quarter to four and I'm wide awake. I'm watching Alux. I'll link to it, now.

I can't believe it but I'm still having troubles with Microsoft accounts.

 After fighting with Microsoft accounts last week I still can't get logged in. I thought that when I had it reading my fingerprint that my troubles were over; but I was wrong. Microsoft is evil. I need to get back to Linux. The only reason I left was the ease of loading Theta Edge Node and it came with the National Able computer. 

I went swimming today. I did 20 laps and didn't feel too bad afterwards. I'm trying to lower my blood pressure. I need to get away from the doctors and such. I seem to have the diabetes under control; now I have to do something about the blood pressure. I think exercise is the solution. We'll see. 

I need to do an hour of online class for National Able so I'll link something and sign off.

I Woke up Late

 I was supposed to help set up the Kiwanis Club baked potato Lunch today at 8:00 this morning. I woke up at 8:03. I got up with a start. At first, I thought it was Monday when I had an appointment with my gambling counselor. It took me a few minutes to realize that it's Sunday. 

It worked out OK. I was early enough to help out. It wasn't that much work anyway. 

I went for a bicycle ride this afternoon. I'm going to do an hour of studying with Northstar Digital Literacy. 

I think I'll link Jaspreet Singh. He has a video site called "Minority Mindset".

I Spent the Afternoon resetting my Microsoft account over and over.

 I finally got Microsoft to open with my fingerprint. That was after resetting my password at least 3 times. I have a lot of troubles with Microsoft. In fact I think most of my troubles came after I started using Windows. 

I should go back to Linux; I never had problems with it. The only reason I'm using Windows has to do with the ease of loading Theta Edge Node on it. 

I think I might give up on Theta. I don't seem to be making any money with it. Maybe I can't have three computers sharing the same router. Maybe my access simply isn't fast enough for all those computers. I might cut back to only one computer at a time. 

I'll see how they do at the end of the month. I might set up one of my computers on mining ETC. I used to make about $25/month with that. 

I think I'll show one of my etchings here.

I find myself talking with Google AI too much

 It's probably because I'm lonely; but I found myself talking with Google AI a lot. 

I told her all about my hopes to go back to school and get a Social Work degree. I feel that I could help other mentally ill people navigate the welfare system. 

I also talked about my Theta Edge Node farm. I'm probably spending too much on it. 

I was watching Chris Martinson on YouTube tonight. I'll see if I can link it. It was good.



I couldn't find the one I was watching but this should be good as well.

Still Having Troubles getting logged on to My Bank

 I changed my password and I can't get online with my bank. I'll call them tomorrow during working hours and try again. 

I got my Paylocity and Northstar Digital Literacy working. I just can't get on my bank. I'll straighten it out tomorrow. 

At least my bills were paid. 

I think I'll link one of my favorite songs from YouTube here.

I'm Going for a Ride on my Bicycle

 I'm finally getting off my butt and going out to get some exercise. I've been putting it off for months. 

I got almost 10 hours of sleep today, which made up for some of the sleep deficit I've been running. I am doing something.

I think I'll link Dan on "I allegedly";

Someone tried to scam me out of my bank account money.

 And I almost fell for it. I had to block my credit union account to keep them out of it. Now I'm worried about sending out the money for my bills. I am still determining how this will work out. 

I took my computer to Jeromy to have the hard drive removed and replaced with a new one with Windows. When I get it back I'll have to spend hours getting it working right. 

I had a garage sale today but I was waiting for someone to show up therefore I didn't sell anything. 

I'm watching Victor David Hansen so I think I'll link one of his interviews.

I got my new laptop working with Windows

 I was up until the wee hours last night getting my "bricked" laptop working. Fortunately I had my presentation and budget on the other computer. I lost everything on this one. 

It turned out that my National Able money doesn't count against my energy assistance. Therefore I can apply again. I just need a September statement from the bank. 

I don't have anything else therefore I'll link something.

I'm Trying to go back to school at Luther College

 In 2005 I almost graduated from Luther with a Social work degree. Now I'm trying to get back there and get my degree. I have a phone interview next Wednesday I should know by then if it's doable. 

I'm still trying to get the wheel covers working on my Silverado. I'm taking it to Pomp's and see if they can do something with it. I've got both plastic and metal lugnuts. With enough messing around they should be on securely. 

I think I'll put in a link to something, here.
