NICE!

I had to do it. 

Hello everyone.

Last Saturday I spent in Nashville. I attended the MCAS meeting. They had a small auction after the meeting. The main reason I attended was to pick up 6 Xenotoca Eiseni and to get some 3D printed items for my aquariums. It did rain most of the drive down there and most of the drive home. On the way home it was quite severe. The 6 fish are doing well after almost a week in their new home. The 3D items that I've put to use have served me well. 

I ordered some items from Amazon. These were some nets and I also ordered 2 Chinese knockoffs of the Ziss Fluidized Moving Bed Filter. Combined the 2 knockoffs were about $5 more then the Ziss alone. They will be put to use to see how they perform compared to the Ziss. I have 2 more orders right now from Amazon. 1 is for Methylene Blue as I have some CPD eggs starting to come though. It will also serve for any other fish eggs I get in the future. I also have an order for air sone replacements for the Chinese knockoffs. It is currently on back order though. All of that cost me ZERO. I did spend Amazon Gift Cards on it all. The gift cards were gotten through Swagbucks. I play mobile games through Swagbucks and convert the Swagbucks into Amazon Gift Cards. It is really simple for me to do.

I am trying to decide if I want to go to the GCAS auction in Cincinnati. It is basically a 3 hour drive. I would need to leave at 8am or just before. It is supposed to be the best/biggest auction around here. The thing against going if the first ever MCAS swap one week after, and the BFKA auction another 2 weeks after that. The MCAS swap is just over 2 hours away and the BFKA auction is just over an hour away. I would like to get some plants and add some fish and some shrimp. For plants, I need to do some research. For fish their is at least 2 types I'm interested in and a 3rd that is a possibility. For shrimp I'd like to get 15-20 of a type. I'm hoping to make more of all the types of fish I have and get.

Youtube has moved to the back burner. I just don't have the motivation to make videos. I'm sure that at some point that "fire" will return. As for LEGO I did build one set. It was a LEGO City set(Pizza vs. Fire Truck). It was another simple and quick build. Either some Botanical sets or some BrickHeadz are what I will build next.

I have been doing extremely small stakes DFS lately. Mostly MLB. On Draftkings I am playing with Crowns and on FanDuel, I'm doing 5 cents/day. Basically on DK anything I win is pure profit and on FD if I win better than 50% of the time, I slowly increase my balance. DK I have enough Crowns for a few more days. FD is less than $1, but it is slowly climbing.

Crypto wise I'm still hodling. The last week or two hasn't been good, but BTC is still above $70K so that is good. One of these days it will stay about $100K and I will be happy. Just wish I had a coin. I'm nowhere near that. I do "play" Rising Stars and Prospectors and Rollercoin. It helps keep my occupied throughout the day. Also, those make me think I'm earning something.

That seems like enough rambling for this week.

 

NICE!!!!
