I went about 12 miles on the Sauk Trail by bicycle.
I got my new car home and then went to the Sauk Trail in Lake View. I think I did about 6 miles to the South and then came back to the trail head for a total of 12 miles. I pushed my bike a bit on the way back so I guess I cheated a bit.
The new car has a check engine light on and it says that the tires don't have the right pressure. I'm sure I'll be spending money to get it going right. Oh Well. That's the way it is with cars.
I've got to get out there and check the fluid levels first of all. It could be that the coolant is down or something like that. I just hope it's nothing to major to fix. We'll see.
I think I'll link something about the Epstein scandal.

I'm Having Troubles transferring my Bitcoin from Binance to Ledn.
I've got a piece of a Bitcoin in Binance and I want to put it into Ledn where I can borrow against it. I'm doing great at using my Bitcoin as collateral. For every $1,000 of Bitcoin I can borrow $500. I'm trying to get to 1/10 of a Bitcoin. I'm 70% there.
On a different track, I bought a car. It's a 2009 Dodge. It's a small SUV. It needs a good cleaning but I think I did OK. It needs some tires and a front bumper, but it's in pretty good shape. It has high milage but I feel that modern cars can do 300,000 without too much problems. We'll see.
Bitcoin is up to 118,000. I'm having troubles getting 1/10 of a Bitcoin. It's only worse as the price goes up. I'll just plug along.
I think I'll link Dan's latest vlog, here.

I was contacted about the interview for my VA claim.
I'm making the case that my mental illness started while I was on active duty in the Marines.
Today I was contacted about scheduling an interview. They'll send me an envelope by Federal express with the details.
If I get approved it will be a big deal for me. I'll be able to go back to college and collect a payment while attending college. I think I'll major in financial planning. I'll just tell everyone to buy Bitcoin.
I think I'll link something about that here.

I did 4 miles on my Bicycle
I decided not to ride on the roads today. I took a bicycle trail in Lake View that goes to Carroll. I feel that it is much safer. On the roads I could get run over pretty easily by someone coming over a hill.
I was surprised at how many trees there were on the trail. I had shade for 3 out of the 4 miles. I didn't knock myself out which is unusual for me.
I'm listening to Jenny doing her Tarot reading. I'll try to link something with her.

I went to the Trump rally in Des Moines
It was hot and tiring but worth it. Trump said all the right things about how our country got it's guidance from God not a king.
He's going to have a year-long celebration of the nation's 250th anniversary.
I'm exhausted from the trip and waiting to get out of the parking lot but I'm resting up today.
I stayed at the Marriot: it was expensive but worth it.
I think I'll link something about the rally
here.

I went to Carroll for an eye doctor appointment.
It turned out that there wasn't an appointment at all. I've got one in the first week of July. Oh well.
At least I got the air conditioner working in the Silverado. I just pushed the right button to get it working.
I talked with Lana, this morning. Faye and I are going to her wedding anniversary. It's in August.
I'll link something about the Iran war here.
