Bitcoin is Roaring Back

 Bitcoin is over $70,000 so it came back from $63,000 in a couple of days. I've got to hold on this time. 

Tomorrow I'll find out if I'll own a couple of pickups. I'm a bit fearful that I might get them both. If I do I'll put the best one up for sale and hang on to the worst one. I do hope I get one. We'll see. 

I have an online conference to go to today. Later

Opening the Bids is Tuesday night.

 They'll open the bids on the pickups next Tuesday at the City Council Meeting. It's at 6:00 P.M.

I'm anxious about spending money until I find out if I have to pay for a pickup or two. I'll cook my own meals until Tuesday night. I'm afraid that they were such pieces of shit trucks that no one else will want them. At $500 apiece I might have overbid. 

On the good news side: I got the fingerprint reader working on the old computer. That's something. I think I'll get rid of the new computer. It's crap anyhow. 

I think I'll link Johnny Bravo, tonight.

I bid on a couple of Pickups and now I'm afraid I might get them, Both

 I put a couple of sealed bid offers on two pickups (owned by the city) and now I'm worried that I might get them both. If I get both of them I'll have to sell some Bitcoin. And I don't want to. I think someone will outbid me. 

I need to do more homework for National Able. I find it hard to find time and the discipline to do it. I just have to grab an hour or two when I can do it. Well I think I'll go online and do some homework. Later.

Crypto waivered so I fixed a couple of Laptops

 I worked mainly on my new (old) computer today. It's new to me but old in years. Its biggest problem was a dead AC adapter. I think it also has a bad CMOS battery and it definitely had a bad main battery. 

I should have been working on a presentation about crypto for the Quwanis club. I may have misspelled that.

The other computer (the new one) seems to be working better with Mint Edge on it. In fact, they both seem to be better. It will take some time to see if all the intermittent problems are gone.

It's time to go to bed. Later

If Bitcoin makes new all-time highs tomorrow I'm going to buy a new Car Radio

 Bitcoin has been extremely volatile lately. It went over 73 k and then it sold off by about 7%. It's a real rollar coaster. 

I would like having a radio with a rear camera and GPS. I like knowing what's behind me and I'm tired of getting lost. 

I hope that when I wake up Bitcoin is over 74 k. 

I Gave up Trying to get my private key off the Flash Drive.

 I must have overwritten my private key to my Bitcoins on the old flash drive. I used Recoverit to try to recover the number. No luck.

At least I tried. Now I should call Lazslo and see if he remembers anything.

I used Northstar training for National Able and it worked until I had to right-click on something and delete it. I don't think Linux does that. Maybe it's my computer. I'll try it with a mouse. I tried it with a mouse and id didn't work. 

I'll have to use the Windows machine for Northstar. 

I'll go to the basement and do some classes now. Later

I spent a weekend getting my ETC mining computer working.

 I spent last weekend getting the ETC computer working. I can't remember what finally fixed it. I only make about $0.06 a day with it but it's a hobby. 

Bitcoin is doing well It went over $73,000 a coin yesterday. I'm in it for the long haul.  I hope to never sell. In fact, I hope it goes down so I can buy more.

I picked up some auction items this morning from Holstein. I got tools, a laptop and a couple of monitors. I forgot I also got a police scanner. I'll be spending time getting this stuff working. 

That's all for now. Later.
