I can't quite remember when my wife and I started dating, but I do remember it wasn't right away that I found out she enjoyed the show Big Brother. It's something we have been following together for years now and if you know the show, the slogan is "expect the unexpected". That fits pretty well with my world right now. In fact, if you looked up Michigan weather in the dictionary, you would probably see something like "see also, big brother".
Tuesday into Wednesday we had a significant amount of rain falling in our area. In fact, just go to YouTube if you don't believe me and look up "Grand Rapids March 2026 floods". That's a town about an hour and a half west of us and they got hammered pretty hard. As you can see from the opening photo, after the rain, the temperatures dropped pretty significantly and all that water froze pretty much everywhere it was sitting.
Mind you, on Monday of this week it was sunny and almost 70(F) outside. Yesterday was sunny if not a bit cooler sitting around 40(F) degrees or so. Then this morning they are calling for some massive snow. Up to 7 inches in fact. School has been preemptively close, though I made the drive in anyway and I barely saw a flake on my half hour drive here.
It will be interesting to see what the drive home is like. Thankfully, I'm used to Michigan, and I have been following crypto for over eight years now, so expecting the unexpected is almost second nature to me. In fact, I was a bit surprised to look at my feeds this morning and see that BTC is back up over $72K. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here. I have a feeling we will drop back down heading into the new week. It just depends on what shenanigans the politicians get up to I suspect.
It's safe to say, I am definitely starting to get ready for Spring and Summer. In the same vein, I am also getting ready for the crypto markets to thaw out. This long frozen slog has just been kind of miserable. Unfortunately, just like I know there are a few more snow storms in the immediate future, I am sure there are some more pull backs as well.
I'm pretty excited, my 
I recently moved some funds into their token MEDALS so I could have a nice stake. I wanted to get to 20K staked for the time being even though 
I'd also like to remind everyone that there is still an active prompt in The Pub Community for our recently started Pub Prompts. Just check out 
This is also a reminder that I have a Grilling and Smoking Community here on HIVE. We really don't see a lot of activity in it which is too bad because I know there are tons of you out there who fire up your grill on the regular like I do. Plus, we are starting to get into the Spring and Summer season, so even if you put it into hibernation for the Winter, you should be busting it out soon!
Due to the decreased return on investment, I removed my delegation to the 
Maybe it's not even a new thing and I just haven't noticed it until now. Who knows. My share of the LP right now is 3.26%, which isn't huge, but it is still something.
Splinterlands is in a bit of a holding pattern for me right now. I am still participating in guild brawls, but I don't have enough DEC to play in the season. I'm starting to build up a nice stockpile of wood that I can sell when the prices return to normal. At that point I should have enough DEC to get me through a couple more seasons. For now though I just sit and wait.
I still haven't figured out what to do with my SPS Validator Node either. I have a feeling I am losing money on it, but I just haven't had the time to look at the numbers to really see if that is true. I'll likely just keep things how they are until I get a bit more ambitious.
