Hello everyone.

It is cold today. Good thing I plan to be inside all day where I heat it to 74. Also a good thing that electricity isn't too expensive where I live. Most months my electric bill is in double digits.

Yesterday I streamed for the first time in over 4 months. I enjoyed it even though Path Of Exile 2 had server problems at the start. The computer had 2 freeze ups that required restarts. After the 2nd one I stopped for the day. It was close to where I was going to end for the day anyways. POE 2 is harder than POE 1 is. I took things slowly and had a good bit of fun. Later today(Saturday), I plan to play more. The plan is to start fresh with a new character. Hopefully things will go a bit smoother. The new character is either a cold caster witch OR a Mercenary concentrating on grenades using a crossbow. 

Yesterday I also used Restream for the first time ever. This allowed me to stream to Twitch and YouTube at the same time. The plan is to do that from now on. I do like the end of stream emailed reports from Restream. It showed zero dropped frames during the streams. This used to be a common problem. Anything less than 10% was considered OK. The fact that I had zero is amazing considering I was streaming for almost 5 hours.

I did purchase a bit more LEGO yesterday as they had double Insiders points again. Mostly I bought BrickHeadz. Some of the items I bought were on sale and I also got the GWP. Do believe that this is my last purchase of 2024. I really need to assemble that FunWhole set so I can move back to building LEGO.

Still enjoying the aquariums. I need to continue my slow arrangement of tanks in the living room. They are going to be grow out and breeding tanks. Bringing stuff up from the basement isn't easy for me as it involves stairs and at almost 58, I'm not as strong as I used to be. Balance being off due to the stroke really makes stairs while carrying stuff extremely difficult for me. 

Thanks for reading and tipping. I'm still hodling my crypto. BTC and most other coins going up is nice. Hopefully they won't give back all the gains we've seen.
