I couldn't get the fingerprint reader to work so I'm loading Ubuntu. Only a nerd would know what I'm talking about, but it's a real struggle. I really don't want to learn Ubuntu but i'll have to.

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

We're supposed to get 2 to 4 inches of snow by tomorrow. I'll be shoveling tonight and maybe tomorrow.
I'm watching a You/tube segment about Bitcoin. They are making the case for taking self-custody. I agree with them bu I have to get my Ledger wallet working.

Yesterday, I shoveled North of the Rec Center, next to Main Street. It was cold and hard. But I got it done.
Today. Sara is coming at 10:00. I'll get her to help with my time card. It's messed up.
It's warming up so maybe I'll do more shoveling today. We'll see. That's all for now.

I'll I went to the caucus last night. It was cold and I only went up to 40 mph. My eyesight is getting bad so that was as fast as I felt like driving at night.
Trump won on the first ballot. I volunteered to be a delegate to the convention in Des Moines'. I doubt that I'll get the job.
Vivek dropped out this morning but I hope he'll be /trump's vice president.
I need to make a couple of telephone calls.
Later
The Villager ( a restaurant that opens at 6:00) is open again. They were closed because of the weather.
I gave Sharon a ride to work and swung by the antique store to see if it needed to be shoveled. It didn't.
Now I need to replace my right headlamp. The car parts place opens at 8:00 and I have a meeting with my gambling counselor at 8:30.
So I'll be busy this morning. I need a nap right now.
Later.
My car's thermometer said it was -23 this morning. Weaterbug said it was -18. The car was too cold to work well.
I had to pick up Sharon this morning (her car didn't work). I'm getting a lot of use of the Artic parka.
The car doors aren't working well. The car thinks they are;t closing. I'll try putting WD-40 on them to loosen them up.
I need to replace my headlamp (right side) before I go to the caucus tomorrow. I'll be supporting Vivek.
Later
Sharon called me and needed a ride. Her car is stuck in the snow.She'll pay me to get it out but I have to do my place as well; the rec center too. The wind and snow have tapered off but I still have to deal with last night's drifts.
I better get busy. I can warm up later.
