Six it was again today and another hour short. I was dragging quite a bit after lunch, but I pushed myself to get going on stuff and didn’t crash.

Nothing much of note happening during the morning routine. At the moment I’m all-in BTC, and with the golden cross, was expecting/hoping for a nice bull break to the upside.

Instead we’ve gotten a diamond reversal pattern that has broken to the downside. There’s still significant support being tested, so just going to sit tight for the time being.

We headed out for our walk plenty early enough to score the #AutonaticWin, bit we didn’t go the full distance and I got caught up doing the Solairitas Weekly News Update, so I missed it. 😢

Still chilly enough to need a jacket on, but it’s getting better. Going to get nice and warm the next couple days, but hopefully we’ll get some respite from the endless rain.

Nice to see some Sun ☀️ for a while.

Mr. Chubbles was across the street, but when he saw me he came running right over! I was so dumbfounded and wondered how close he would get that I didn’t get a picture until he decided he had other places to be and people to meet.

We did a loop down to the lake. No geese or swans 🦢 to be seen today.

We did see a pair of cranes getting some breakfast, though. 😀

Check this out! These tulips are so dark, they almost look black! Amazing!! 😯

This little bunny 🐰 couldn’t hardly be bothered with us, and kept right on munching away. 😄

I’m really happy with this shot (although the focus could be a little better), but not only is it a twofer, I got the male and female of the species together! 🤩

Somebody had their birthday today. 🎂

Our tree out front is coming into bloom now. 🙂

As I said, after lunch I really felt like taking a nap, but instead I played a little Wolfenstein (got another gun cheevo) and then went out and putzed in the garage for a while.

I got the rest of the winding out of the washer motor and was able to verify that ALL of it is copper clad aluminum.

I can, I believe, put it in HCl which will convert to aluminum chloride and hydrogen gas. This should leave me the copper coating relatively intact (maybe?).

The trouble is then extracting the aluminum from the aluminum chloride. From what I understand, the method is to use electrolysis around 2.3 volts.

But this poses all kinds of other problems like deciding on anode and cathode and getting an ionic solution...and worse, the emission of chlorine gas, which is über wicked bad news. Have yet to figure this one out. 🤓🤔

I started our sprouts quite some time ago, and they have seriously outgrown their little tray. They really need to get out into the ground, so I started tilling and weeding the garden in the back yard.

I got as far as clearing a walkway in there and cutting back the brush from the fence. Otherwise, got maybe four or five feet done...the weedy grass has a thick root system, so trying to get as much of it out as possible is slow going. Still, made some good progress and didn’t push my back too far.

In the evening I made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some cereal for dinner and we watch some more Stargate.


Yay! Nothing happened in my dCity today. 😃 That means I’m another day closer to fulfilling my plan.

Looks like there’s a big update coming with new buildings and a political/taxes dynamic!

No surprise. Once again I didn’t complete my Holybread arena task. I’ve only gotten like one win in four fricking days! 😡

Falling slightly in the ranks. Seems like a few players might have come back.

I got a nice draw with Dragon splinter for my Splinterlands quest today. Been bouncing back and forth right at the border between Diamond III and II. Caught a bit of a win streak, though, and got myself a little buffer now.

Got the quest done in Diamond II with a potion. Got a relatively high proportion of cards today, which was nice, but I seem to keep getting common cards that will soon make my gold versions obsolete:
