Gonna’ have to take exception to today’s sleep score. FitBit says I only had seven, so an hour short, but I slept ten to seven and didn’t drag hardly at all, so I’m going to call it good.

Did the usual morning routine and decided to harvest my DeFi balances that had been building up for a couple days. Been wrestling with myself to swap into ETH as a direct comparison to my initial investment, but I went risk-on and got more MATIC instead. Like Elliotrades said yesterday: “MATIC is going to be slept on, until it isn’t.”

Was super surprised to see a pamp in the HIVE price:

But it certainly didn’t last long!

Did my laps and worked on my post. I got the #AutomaticWin and my ActiFit exchange was due, but I forgot to post it officially. 😭 Good excuse to get another one tomorrow. 👍💪

Did some chores and cleaned up in the kitchen and then headed back out to the garage. Got the old dishwasher completely torn down. Not much really there: a bit of wiring that remains to be seen if it’s worth stripping, a couple springs, and a bunch more screws that I probly don’t really need to hang onto but will anyway. Oh, and some tubing and clamps. Got the plastic separated to go to the dump and all the steel to go to recycling.

Ran down to the township office as well and picked up the tickets we need for the dump and took Mom’s over to her. Only thing now, really, is rent a pickup truck and take everything in. Meanwhile, got a nice pile of crap sitting outside the garage, very classy! 🤣

Having gotten the old appliances torn apart and piled outside, I did get enough space to move the lawnmower to the wall and away from the car. I’m almost able to get to the car from every direction now; there’s just the snowblower and a table left in the way.

Thinking of getting an electric lawnmower here pretty soon, and those fold up for easy storage, so that should help a little too, but then I’ll have to figure out what to do with the old one again (want to make a go-cart, but don’t think I have the tools or skills).

There’s still a massive pile of scrap steel piled on the other side of the garage, once I can get that out (major task) I’ll have a place for the table to go and my goal of freeing the car to be worked on will have been achieved.

I did play some Pistol Whip on the Oculus for a little while as a reward for getting stuff done outside and then took a much-needed shower. I did finally beat the end boss on the new campaign and posted some new high scores on a couple arcade run throughs.

Wenche made yummy turkey tacos for dinner and I paced some laps and played Splinterlands before bedtime.

Had to knock my health stat down. 😢 Been smoking so damn much my lungs hurt. Can’t be good. Need to find another way to quit ‘cause this ain’t workin’. 😡

Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water…dShitty dun-a, dun-a, dun-a, daaaa! From what I hear, gerber is on to a whole new defi thing…guess he finally recognized how shitty the thing he created is.

Such a slap in the face: fifty-eight out of four-hundred and then take some more because that wasn’t enough…some “game.”

I actually got a brew done today on CryptoBrewmaster! Just a regular lager, though. Sold it out for like four CBM, up to eighty now I could withdraw, probly should.

Missions and lessons as usual on Rising Star today. I do still have some Starbits liquid and ready to go, but I’ve got pretty much all of the affordable cards. I guess I’m still increasing in level, but otherwise the progress is slowing to the point that I’m starting to get a little meh about it.

Played some Splinterlands in the evening and paced some laps over and above my #DoubleDay, force of habit I guess.

Went relatively quickly and I made some progress in the ranks.

Finally broke up into Gold I with a week left to go. Been pretty rough with all the OP rented decks, but I still have hope for Diamond this season.

Had Earth splinter for my quest today and got it done in Gold I. Been three quests without a single card! 🤬 I did get one this time, and I got a solid chunk of DEC!

My airdrop and interest income from SPS has been falling rapidly, so hopefully that DEC boost will counter it a little. I did splurge on a quest potion…not sure why, I know it’s not worth it, but it had been a long time and five more chances are five more chances.

Proof of #AutomaticWin:
