Hello everyone.

Next weeks ramble will be delayed. It will either be later on Saturday or on Sunday. Next Saturday the 8th I will be going to the BFKA Swap Meet to hopefully buy some fish. I have 5 tanks cycling currently. They each have some snails in them. One of the tanks also has 4 Guppies in it. I'm hoping that the tanks will be ready for additional livestock next Saturday. Ideally I will be able to purchase 2 strains of freshwater shrimp. Each strain should be 10-15 strong. That way I should get a mix of males and females. Hopefully each strain will breed and produce many shrimplets. I also hope to be able to buy 6 Pygmy Cories as well as another couple of types of fish to breed. Some Medaka would be nice. Possibly some CPD's(Celestial Pearl Danios) or Florida Flag Fish. I could even get some different Guppies. If I get the Cories, I will be looking to purchase a couple of hides.

I still haven't built any sets. The two Mould King sets as well as many LEGO sets remain in their boxes. I did look at LEGO today and while I found three sets I could buy, I didn't find a GWP I wanted or Double Insiders points. Therefore, I will wait until they add those or I find the sets on sale.

Haven't played a real video game in ages. I do phone games to earn Swagbucks which I convert to Amazon Gift Cards. The Gift Cards allow me to purchase fish items and LEGO sets for "free". I get quite a lot that way. I only play what seems to pay out the easiest/most and is fun for me to play. If you think this is something you would enjoy, you can join Swagbucks here https://www.swagbucks.com/profile/gefr71?rp=1 You still earn everything you would earn and I get additional SB based off of what you earn. It is a win-win situation.

FM25 being cancelled is a bit of a bummer for me as I was going to give it a go and try to actually learn this time. As an American who grew up with football and not futbol, I don't really understand all the ins and outs of the game. I know the offsides rule and you win by scoring more than the opponent. Also, you need to win your home game and a lot of your road games if you want to win the league. A draw is a good result on the road against the top of the table. So while I understand the big stuff, I really don't get the details. I've played several iterations of FM, I should have learned it by now. I plan to do so with the next version.

BTC dropping into the 80's isn't ideal. Hopefully the next upward run will take it to 120. That way when it eventually drops it will go to "only" 100.

Guess I've rambled all I'm going to. See all of you next week. Possibly on Sunday.
