Monday Things

I wanted to take a break from the series related to the book I;ve been reading. Seems I am getting way ahead of where I probably should be for my next appointment with the therapist, so may slow those posts down to once a week.

Instead of sitting here typing and letting you know what I have been doing and supposed to do later, I should be doing it. But, I needed some time to just take a break. Yesterday was a long Sunday with the Superbowl and all that jazz. So a bit tired today. More than usual.

We have weather coming in tomorrow...again. More snow, and it seems the track is right on the edge for us to get a little or a lot of snow depending if the track goes 50 miles north or south. Seeing I am retired, it doesn't really matter. I just need to make sure we are prepared to wait it out if we get iced in like last time.

I already checked and we have more than enough food. Hell, we have enough to last a month if needed. Snow shovel and salt is ready and in the garage ready to be put to use. I have my contacts for the local neighborhood kids to help shovel if it is too much. Plenty of batteries for backup devices. Ultimately, we are ready for the snow and ice if we get it bad.

Every week I read posts about peoples Hive goals and they usually have some goals with regard to HP to attain for the year or week. So today I am setting the goal of attaining 1,820 HP by the end of the year. That is 5 HP per day, or 35 per week. I think it is attainable just through rewards from posting and curation. We will see. I am not sure if I will be posting weekly with updates on my progress or not, but will update as things progress.

I had not checked my small amount of assets on Coinbase in sometime, so I did that this morning. Seems everything was down today, but was doing okay for the most part. I haven't ivnested anything for a long time, so I need to invest some more into what I have sometime in the coming days. Right now I have some XRP, Stellar, Tezos, Polygon, and Storj. Any suggestions on good tokens with good solid projects behind them? Thoughts on the ones I have?

Currently I am bidding on some coins at an online auction that ends tomorrow and winning. If the current bid stands I will get them for a steal, but I doubt the bid will stand much longer. It always seems just when I think I am about to get a good deal, a sniper comes in and outbids me at the last second.

I have a handful of coins, mostly silver, that I need to catalog and place in holders and folders. This has been put off far too long. They are continually getting moved around in the dining room and getting on my wife's last nerve. Hey, at least they aren't on the dining room table...for now.

The camera and light box need some dusting off as well. This next snow, if it does hit is hard, I plan to take some pictures and share some posts. Due to my breathing issues I can't spend much time outside in the cold too much, but I imagine I can manage to grab a couple snapshots. Plus I have some coins and rounds coming in the mail, so the lightbox could get some use as well.

Well, that is about enough of me sluffing off for now. I need to get back to it.

Thank you

Hope the snow isn't too bad, but always smart to have food storage. I think I still even have some MRE's around somewhere... lol Can't wait to see the shiny stuff!

I'm always looking for new projects, but for now I'm sticking with what I have. XRP I'm keeping, BTC keeper, ETH keeper, Polygon I'm still hanging onto. DOGE coin is a keeper. I need to get more involved in Solano though, there's just so much going on over there.

Take care brother!

We have a small chest freezer in the garage that is full, so good for a while. We also hava box of MREs in the basement, but I be damned if I eat them unless I am starving to death.

Thanks for the recommendation on Solano. I hadn't heard of it and will look into it.

YOu take care as well.

Stay safe with the weather that is coming. We just had a storm push through on Saturday night, but it was only a couple inches of very light powdery snow. Pretty easy to clean up with the snow blower.

Thank we will. The good thing about being retired I guess is that I don't have to get out in the stuff. Hoping it is just loose snow here as well and we can use a snow shovel. Last time it was snow and ice and we just couldn't do it. Had to get neighbor kids to do it and they needed regular shovels to break up the ice and then shovel it.

It's probably best to get the neighbors to do it anyway. The older I get the more I realize how dangerous it is to be doing that kind of stuff for your heart when it's so cold out. I didn't realize it at the time, but we are already under a winter storm watch for Wednesday into Thursday. They are calling for 6+ inches here. This far out though, I am taking it with a grain of salt!

Well, to be honest, I just usually only make a dent. The wife is the one who does most of it. I have issues with breathing in the cold as well as other stupid health challenges.

Sounds like you may get more snow than us basedon our most recent forecast as they are saying the majority of it is staying South. But like you said, I am not holding my breath.

Take it easy whatever you get!

Sure will, thanks.
