I'm wondering if someone is really reading my blog
If someone is really reading my blog please leave a comment ot click on the ads. I'm trying to determine if real people are reading my blog or is it just bots.
I went to Lake View twice today. The first time was to have breakfast at Miltons on Main and the second time I had lunch at a Mexican restuarant. I need to cut back on my dining out; I can't afford it.
I took my new bicycle for a spin today. I really like it. It's much lighter than my old one and it's more fun to ride. I'll sell the old one at a garage sale this weekend.
I noticed that half of the videos I shared from Youtube were censored. Most if not all turned out to be true. We live in a communist country. I think we're a vassel country of communist China. This will probably be removed.
I think I'll put a picture of my house here.

I've gotten addicted to watching "Vice Grip Garage".
It's a channel on Youtube that features a guy who buys and fixes up cars and trucks that have been abandoned for years. He then drives them home; which is likely to be hundreds of miles away. It's fun to see how he handles problem after problem.
He also races his resurected rides at races where it's normal to drive old cars. One of the races he was in had a requirement that nobody could spend more that $3000 for their ride. Maybe I could get involved with this sort of thing. It would be fun and maybe not cost much.
I forgot to post this yesterday;I'm sorry.
I went to a parade today. It was some fun. They threw a lot of candy at me but I ignored it since I'm diabetic.
I picked up a bicycle from a repair shop in Storm Lake today.I's looking good and it rode well. It cost me $180 but did a good job. Now I've got 2 bicycles. I'll sell the one I don't like so much in a garage sale. Maybe next week.
I might get a job as an IT tech, we'll see. I sent off my resume.
I'll link up with "Vice Grip Garage" I got it on the next post.

Not much happened here today.
I fixed the vacumn cleaner. The belt broke when I sucked up a venitian blind string. The hardware store didn't have the belt so I ordered it from Amazon.
I had a large quanity of dead flies to vacumn up. It turned out that they were coming from the drains. Someone told me to pore boiling water down the drains because flies tend to breed there. It worked; the fly population plummeted but I had to get rid of the dead ones. Hench the broken vacumn.
I got some exercise at the Rec Center. It's an old school buiding and I climb the stairs for exercise. It's about time that I get back to doing that.
That's about all that happened today.

I went to Sioux City today.
I went to a dentist in Sioux City today to have a tooth examined for a root canal.
It turned out that I could either have it extracted or have a root canal. I decided to have it extracted. It only costs around $200 to extract it and it costs $2000 for a root canal. I'll just go the cheap route.
I've got a bicycle in a repair shop in Storm Lake. It should be done by now. I'll call them tomorrow and find out how it's going.
I also need to find out if I'm getting a job with a government program called National Able. I would love to get an IT certificate and start working for over $20/hr.
So far, I'm still using a bank and a credit union for my bill payments and such. I'm still concerned about bank failures and such but I haven't done anything about it, yet.
On that note, I'll post the last image of an etching I want to sell and sign off.
