Weekly Rambling #35

Hello everyone.

The plan for today is to shoot a video for YouTube of me opening 2 boxes of LEGO orders. It will consist of 11 items of 4 sets. I did order 5 of one set. It was 40% off. This did get me my very 1st GWP(Gift With Purchase). I'm cheap and only buy what I want to buy. Also, tend to not spend that much on 1 specific item. With zero income I do need to be responsible in what I spend so the insurance money lasts. Luckily, the house and the car are paid for. I do get SNAP benefits so my food is covered by that. I still have to pay for all the monthly bills. The largest bill is the phone/tv/internet. I do still have water and electric to pay. 

I do enjoy the NFL and am thinking that I will keep the TV the entire NFL season but cancel it after the season. Then get it back for the 2025 season. I do have Amazon Prime and Crunchyroll. I've been watching that quite a bit. The thing I prefer about the TV is that it is easier to just find stuff. With Prime and Crunchyroll on the TV, I've yet to find an easy way to find programs.

As far as gunpla building goes, I have built a body of my first HG. The head is next. I like assembling them, but it is more work than building LEGO. I think that I most likely will concentrate on LEGO with some gunpla sprinkled in. 

Still playing F1 Manager and posting the races to YT. The 2nd attempt is going slightly better. Still not where I expected to be but better than the first go. Granted I started with better facilities and a much improved car. Did have a fire in the factory which slowed down upgrades for the cars. Once I get some upgrades on the cars, points should be a bit more regular occurrence(at least for Sainz).

I am doing some phone games to earn Amazon Gift Cards. This is mostly through Swagbucks. https://www.swagbucks.com/profile/gefr71?rp=1 is my referral link for Swagbucks. I do order LEGO from Amazon when they have nice prices. At some point, I might get a Shure microphone. I do think that the mic I currently use is good, the Shure should be great.

Did buy TEW IX. Haven't played it yet. Do plan to be MAW when I do start a play thru. I want to do it proper when I do play. I did one test of the first show. Ideally, when I do it for real I will bring in one or two wrestlers for the first show. YouTube is in the plan for this series.

Mom would have turned 79 next Thursday and my brother would have been 62 next Saturday. Mom passed Nov 5, 2022. My brother passed Oct. 5, 2021. The 22nd and the 24th of August used to be happy for me. It won't be anymore.

Thanks for reading my rambling.
