I'm going to ride my Bike in spite of the heat.

 I'll just get out there before it get's too hot. I'll continue this blog when I get back. If I get back. 

I gave up after 4 miles: there was a strong headwind. I hardly got out of the low range speeds and it was heating up fast. I didn't want to risk heat stroke on the way back.

I wanted to go swimming but the Rec Center was closed due to Summer hours  on a Sunday.

I think I'll link something about the war here.

It's a Heatwave.

 It's really hot today. It was 80 degrees at 6:00 AM. 

I'm still going to ride my bike to Lake View tomorrow. It's not so hot as to deter me. 

I gave up trying to get more coolant into the pick ups air conditioner. I think it's already full: it just isn't keeping up with the heat. 

I finally got the laptop I got from work, working. It needed a different charger. Now, it's at 100%. 

I think I'll link something about the Israeli and Iran war.

I haven't posted lately

 I'm sorry I haven't posted lately. I've been busy at work and I just haven't gotten around to it. 

I'm still trying to buy as much Bitcoin as I can. I've also been buying silver as well. 

I need to get rid of the silver and use the money to buy Bitcoin. 

They've been holding silver prices down for over 150 years: I suppose they can keep it down for another hundred or so years. 

Bitcoin is new and I hope it will keep going up. We'll see. 

I think I'll link Michal Pinto here.


I didn't find what I was looking for so I'll link this.

Everything worked out fine.

 I didn't get what I was bidding on this time. I was bidding on 6 lots that would have added up to more than $1300 owed. I didn't get them. I only got 3 lots for $380. I had no troubles paying for them. The other bidders must have noticed that the expensive lots were going for very little. Now I'll see about selling my last two auction hauls. It comes to around $1,000 which is what I need in BTC to borrow against it. 

I'll have 2 more loans from LEDN I'll have $7,000 towards the  $10,000 I need to have a 1/10  of a Bitcoin. That's what everyone says you need to retire comfortably. 

I think I'll link something about that.

I'm Going out on a Limb to Buy More Silver

 I'm bidding over $700 on silver. The auction ends Sunday night. I want to bid more but I'm already risking practically everything that I have in the bank. 

If I can get the auctioneer accept my payment on Tuesday rather than Monday. I get my Social Security check Tuesday morning. I could bid on a couple of more lots. 

I think I'll link Pomp here.

Things are Working out Well

 I have something going on with silver and Bitcoins. I buy as much silver as I can from a site on hibid. For some reason the price of large quantities of silver coins (commonly called "junk silver") is low. That means American coins minted before 1965, when they combined copper with the silver. I've been buying them for less than I can get from a dealer in Fort Dodge. 

That's making buying more Bitcoin possible. I then borrow against the Bitcoin at a low interest rate. It's a money machine. I'm doing great. 

I think I'll link something about silver, here.


Andy is quite the silver bull. I think he talks his book: he sells silver thru his company.

Financial Toubles

 I overspent on an online auction and forgot about the electric bill and the cable bill automatically coming out of my account.

I was overdrawn by around $200. I transferred money from my Elastic account (a high cost lender) to the bank. It hasn't shown up yet but it will. 

I also am waiting for money from LEDN. It's a Bitcoin lender. Everything just takes too long. It's frustrating. 

I'll link something about Bitcoin lending, here. 


This is also an excuse to watch Natalie
