May 8, 20: AutomaticWin, DoubleDay, Market Friday, Mowing, and Games

almost 4 years ago

Up a bit earlier this morning after having stayed up really late (past eleven) and so lost the sleep I made up. 😛

The morning routine was totally routine except for the nice bull push in Bitcoin, bringing it over the ten thousand mark! STEEM and HIVE still holding their USD values and so falling relative to bitcoin meant another day of sitting on my hands.

Got my post done early as well and headed out for a #AutomaticWin. That’s two weeks, baby! Fourteen day streak!!! 💪

Another super chilly day and windy. 🥶 Don’t know what the deal is; blame Canada!

We did a loop down by the lake. Not too much happening down there except a couple of families of geese.

Mommy didn’t like the looks of us and jumped in the water right away...babies were running back and forth trying to figure out what to do.

Eventually they figured it out, and with a bit of courage plunked themselves over the side. 😄

The flowers are really starting to come out, with some particularly amazing ones at the park downtown.

This one is the tree in my front yard. Got a twofer with a little bug!

And another buggy twofer! 🤗

The trees are really budding out. These are planted all along the main street in our town.

For #MarketFriday, I went into the puffity puff store Choice. I have to say, first, that despite being expensive it’s soooo awesome to have a selection and just go to the store like a person rather than having to sneak around being a criminal.

Second, I’m super glad that it was deemed “essential” during the shutdown. We can’t go inside, but they have the menu and everything online and you just pick it up curbside. 😃👍

I got two new strains: French Cookies and Ebony and Ivory, both hybrids at 22.47% and 20.4% respectively.

Once I got back, it was time to tackle the lawn (which I’d meant to do yesterday but fell asleep). Went to the bank/gas station, deposited our stimulus check (yay!), and got a couple gallons for the summer.

The mower has to be thirty years old, give or take, and when I tried to start it up the throttle broke off. 😡

I took that apart and rigged it well enough that it was usable and then tried to start. Took a while and a couple shots of ether, but I got it fired up and running. Took quite a few loads; definitely more than I had expected, since I thought I got on it early enough.

In the evening we had eggs and bacon for dinner and watched some more Stargate. All in all, a pretty productive day, and another #DoubleDay at that!! 😄

Another crime-free day in the ol’ dCity! 😁 Got my daily income, but still only about half way to even getting a basic home. Need some liquid HIVE!

Still didn’t get my arena task done on Holybread today. 😡 I didn’t play all that much, sort of losing interest, but when I did I got my ass handed to me.

Somehow holding above the one hundred line, though!

For my Splinterlands quest today I had Earth splinter again. I first got Death splinter, but that’s a bit rough for me at these levels, so I rolled the dice.

Not too bad again today. Made a little progress in the ranks.
