May 24, 20: AutomaticWin, TripleTen, DoubleDay, Grocery Shopping, Painting, and Games
Alrighty then! Another #DoubleDay in the books! 💪
I actually got a full night’s sleep and then some, eight and a half hours with a good sleep score as well! 😄 Felt good to catch up a little.
Not too much going on for the morning routine. Hit some faucets, check the cryptos, get my post ready to publish before we go for our walk...same, same.
Bitcoin pulling back hard into the eight thousands...looks like we may be getting a miner capitulation, a little post-Halvening dump. Not exactly what I was expecting/hoping for, but I suppose it is fairly consistent with last market behavior; shake out the weak hands before we rally...
Headed out early and picked up Lady for our weekly hike in the woods. Although I got the #TripleTen, and I’ve got the pics to prove it, I have to be honest that it’s somewhat dubious.
I don’t think the GPS is quite accurate...@wenchebakken’s spiffy new watch said we did more like eight kilometers, which I think is closer to correct. Anyway, I’ve got the pics, so I’m going to count it.
Was gorgeous out today!!!! Sun ☀️ was shining, barely any wind...fantastic. It was the first day of the year that I went for a walk without a jacket! 😁
Lots of amazing flowers and wildlife to be seen today! 😀
Some ants were duking it out on the path. Antwars!
The May Apples are starting to bloom now as well.
Mr. Slug found a nice spot in a Trillium. 🙂
First frog I’ve seen this year!!
Lots of this nasty poison oak coming up everywhere...quite a bit of poison ivy as well; really have to keep an eye out.
Rolly Polly tank bugs need to take walks too. 😄
Lots of Waterstriders on the standing water. Unfortunately, the bug itself didn’t really come out clearly.
Cool little world inside an old rotten log. Life, uh, uh, finds a way.
I don’t know what the heck this thing is! Some kind of fungus, I guess, but I’ve never seen it before.
The chippymonks were all over the place. This one decided it wanted to have its picture taken. 😃
Doggies got to run off leash again. Dude was all over the place! He really loves it out there, you can easily tell. Unfortunately, the bugs were really bad.
Got three ticks off both the dogs, one off me and one off the wife for a nice total of at least eight for the one walk!!! 😡 Not to mention the skeeters and deer flies have started...looks like that might have been the last time in the woods for the summer. 😢
The road was a little easier going and we sped up some, but it wasn’t much better as far as the bugs were concerned.
Ever the trailblazer. 🤗
With all the rain lately, the path was pretty muddy in some parts. We almost got stuck here in mosquito paradise, but we did get past it. Water flooded right up to the path!
This was the end of the road...or, rather, the halfway of the road. Wasn’t any way we were going to try and cross that bad boy, although Dude got across without too much trouble and then had to come back.
After our walk, we went into town to do the grocery shopping and to deliver a baby blanket that Wenche had made for one of her coworkers.
Once we got back and unpacked, I painted another coat of the chalkboard paint in the office. It looks pretty good now, but I do have a little left, so I think one more thin coat will have to do it (there’s three coats on there already).
While I was waiting for the paint to dry, I went out and putzed in the garage for a while. I got a solid length of coaxial cable stripped down and then found some of the old-school wire I pulled out of the attic. It’s got two, counterwoven layers of fabric sheathing, which doesn’t like to come off easy, but it’s the beautiful, pure, bare bright once it’s off! 🤩😃
In the evening we had super yummy 😋 tacos 🌮 for dinner, watched some of the new season of The Flash, and then I fell asleep seriously early watching Stargate.
Well, my dCity didn’t get explicitly robbed today, but I did have 14 SIM stolen in taxes again. 😡
I’ve been in a bidding war for an Apartment that’s on auction, but I keep getting outbid. Gone from like 150 up to 753 now.
Yippee! I got all my Holybread tasks done again today! 🥳
Falling a little in the ranks now. 😢
Had to re-up in my potions today and had a couple of items break again, so had to spend quite a few breadcrumbs, but still holding above two million.
For Splinterlands today I had the Fire splinter quest again. Still seem to be stuck right around the 3300 mark, and can’t close that final gap to Diamond I. There’s still nearly a week left in the season, though, so hopefully I’ll be alright.
No golds or legendaries, so my belief that the potions are a rip off and are ineffectual continues to be proven...even if I got some, at this point it would just come down to the usual randomness and couldn’t be attributed to potions anyway.
I got some more of the same ol’ commons, but at least another Boogeyman for something with a little value:

Talk about a mud-slinging party just waiting to happen! These were awesome shot, dashing the thoughts of that uber ugly slug. Ewwww!
I love Michigan Forests, save the bugs! I am never bitten, seriously, but, Michigan has gotten the better of me with the black flies. But, thankfully, they do go away. A little bit.
Glad your sweet lady got out along with the pooches. A great day! Happy Memorial Day!

Thanks for stopping by and for the tip!!! 😃
Yeah, the black flies are bitey bitey, for sure! 😡
