I think I'm going to take tomorrow off and have a three day weekend. My feet hurt, my knee hurts, and its been a long week. Goal is $700 with a minimum of $500, and we're at $542 for this week, last week we made $809, so we can definitely afford it. Oh and to make things interesting, this weekend my credit union will be down, some services will be available, but they're making major changes to the computer systems, frankly if'n I understand what they're doing it, they've been needed. It shouldn't cause me any real problems other than likely not having things credited or debited from my account until Tues, assuming it all goes well.
Or something like that. What's going on online and offline...
First, welcome aboard all new followers here, though I do recommend you follow @Chuff instead as that's the main place I post if'n you really want to see what's occupying the echo chamber between my ears.
Speaking of #wafrn , anyone know of anyone providing hosted instances? Some time in the future I expect to replace this blog with a personal Wafrn. Kinda a big deal as #friendica has been my primary #Fediverse software for years, whether on someone else's instance or my own.
Life, there's not much to talk about, work, kill time, work, that's about it. Every now and then the fact that I'm growing old slaps me in the face, like last Sunday. At around 0300, I got up to use the bathroom, checked my apps and found Amazon was throwing money around. Well Ok, guess I'm working, day 6, leaving the house at 0330, few hours of work, then home, nap and errands, perfect. Grabbed second breakfast on my way home, and found I couldn't nap. That took a few days to recover from. That on top of my main gig burying me in work. Yay. Valentine's Day came and went, me and Vik never really did much for it, so was just another day for me. Wrapping up the process of moving my investments that I inherited, the whole process will likely take to around the end of the year, only because the courts will have to be involved in some of that due to the lack of a will or TOD. Also getting my taxes done, same company, that took a while, joint return, and couldn't find Vik's 2024 so that might complicate things a touch.
Got a flea market coming up, I'm actually prepaid for tables at Sunset Hills flea market at their community center for Mar, Apr and May. Still have to sell stuff here, running into problems on that front, each time I think the comics are sold, it falls through, and books should be a fairly easy matter. Once those are gone along with giving his mom's stuff to his family, this place will be mostly cleared out, so once legal matters are done we can downsize. Speaking of downsizing, I think I know where I'm going to wind up, prolly somewhere around IllFallon... I mean O'Fallon, IL. Not real far from here, and certainly not really closer to my family, but I have to say I like that area. That's where I was delivering for Amazon, at O'dark 30, and gotta say, despite not being able to see things and mostly running in and out of suburbs, I gotta say I like it over there. I think somewhere over there or a little bit east, between I64 and I70 will likely be where I wind up. It feels comfortable, if feels like somewhere I could easily move in and just feel right. I've actually seen a property I like in Edwardsville on Marketplace, but that one would be best if'n my family would want to join me. Its not a large property, but its kinda triangular with one corner and the address in a cul-de-sac, and one side on another street. Could buy it chop it up and have street facing for three houses. But, the property has been on Marketplace for a while, so its either a zombie ad, something is wrong with the property, or its a scam. Oh well, obviously time will tell, but we'll see.
March of the Covers is going on, just like this time last year, however this one is happening over on my Wafrn, just look for the hashtag #March-of-the-Covers or follow Chuff. Posts may get occasionally boosted over here. And as always we're building a playlist over on YouTube.
Pictures of me from the WebCam always look so far away, maybe if'n I move it to the shelf over there...
Nah, only improvement is that the camera isn't looking down at me. Oh well, at least y'all can see that I'm bald again, I did that for the new month after not cutting for 2+ months.
Any other news... Well, I'm recovering. Anyone with sense knows that eating at Jack In the Box is risky, but the food is so good... In a junky guaranteed bad for you way, which is why I grabbed breakfast for dinner last night on the way home. Considering how much of a fiasco things were at that store, my order took over 10 minutes to be made, I prolly should've expected this morning, but... Oh well, spent way too much time in the bathroom, limped off to work for a nice light day, then came home napped for an hour or so.
So, that's really everything going on in my #life , what about y'all?
"ICE can deny wrongdoing, but the reality remains the same: Alberto Gutierrez Reyes died while in their custody," Los Angeles City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez told HuffPost.

Whoops, one of the more complicated formulas on my mileage sheet, not that its particularly complicate, somehow got messed up resulting in me making 1049$/hr at Amazon yesterday. Yeah, it was a good day, but not that good.

Yay… Well, sorta yay, finally got 2 new M2 cars to add to my collection, its been months since WalMart had anything I wanted, in fact their stock has been real low for a long time. Unfortunately I seem to have lost my database of my collection, so that's annoying, going to have to re-do that. That said, here's the collection ![media-1] Admittedly kinda hard to see as its just so many of them, 32 if'n I'm mathing right. From top to bottom, the first shelf and the left cars on the second shelf are all VW's, mostly vans or van-pickups. A pair of oddballs fill out that shelf, a 50's American cargo wagon and a 70's Bronco in patriotic paint. Below that are the American cab overs, whether Dodge A series or Ford econolines, so far 16 of those taking up just over two shleves. Finally at the end are the rest of the miscellany, a pair of 50's Ford conventional trucks, and the newest addition… ![media-2] A 1970 C900 pickup. 100 was ½ ton, 200 ¾ ton, 300 1 ton, so… ? Not sure what the weight class were on these, but they were heavy duty trucks typically box trucks, flatbeds or other service vehicles, a pickup is very interesting to see, and I always love the styling on these.
Neat as it is, and I haven't read the article yet, but I doubt it'll be any kind of success here. Sure, I think it'll be great in major cities, and would be a great UTV or golf cart replacement in suburbs and exurbs, but the price and the cost of insurance will make it too expensive for those unless something changes.
