Chronicling life in Sac City, Iowa. Fixing old laptop computers, and dealing with poverty while prepping for the financial collapse.

I'm canceling my trip to Mankato.
It turned out that the stand down in Mankato won't have a dentist so I won't go there. I'll save me about 5 hours of driving. It would have been worth it since it would have saved me about $250 in dental bills.
I'm thinking about having a yard sale to drum up the money to remove that tooth. If I can sell some expensive things that would work. I made about $1200 in the last sale. It went to bills and I saved some. I guess I spent quite a bit on a bicycle as well.
It should rain tomorrow so I'll figure on having the sale Saturday. I would like to go to Omaha Sunday. We'll see.
I'll try to find a good video.

I spent three hours getting my new Fitbit working.
I loaded another Jordan Peterson interview. He interviews a guy named Metaxas who wrote a book about World War II martyr who opposed the Nazis while in Germany. Metaxas compared what is happening in the U.S. now with what happened in Nazi Germany in the thirties.
On a different topic; I spent three hours today getting Fitbit to work. When I got it working I found that I'm expected to log every time I exercise or drink water. My whole day was spent trying to get computer passwords working and making unanswered phone calls. That's what life is like in the 21st century.

It's raining
We're finally getting some rain. The grass was drying up. I think it's in time for the corn. It was starting to look bad for the crop.
I'm going to try to link an Jordan Peterson video. The one I want to link is about the things we should be doing with money to make the biggest improvement in the world's welfare. The biggest bang for the buck. It's 3 hrs long but it's very good.
I still don't know if a lot of people are reading my blog. I checked my adsense earnings and it hasn't changed in something like five years. Maybe someone could leave a comment.
I'll be going to Mankato Minnisota this weekend I'm hoping to get my infected tooth pulled for free at a veterans event.
Let me know if you like the videos I post. Thank you.
