Tonight was a bit rougher than it has been lately. I got to sleep around ten, which is surprising since my usual bedtime has always been closer to seven or eight…lately it’s been more like ten or eleven.

The HonkClock™️ went off around one thirty and I went out to the couch once again. Was pretty pissed and it took me quite a while to fall back to sleep, but I did, until I woken up by everyone moving around and making noise and turning the lights on and off. FitBit says I ultimately got eight and a half, but I’m calling bullshit on that one. I dragged in the morning pretty hard and even made half a pot of coffee.

Got a fairly early start on my morning routine today and did all the usual stuff that I do most mornings, except slightly calmer and I did a little more detailed token shifting. Not too much going on in the crypto markets, BTC pulled back some but bounced again, so maybe we’re going to sit for a while in this new, higher zone ($20.5k)?

I started preparing for teaching in the evening and all of a sudden, whoosh, an hour was gone and I was late even getting started on my post. A little bit of focus and determination, though, and I got a solid post done and published on time.

Once the morning routine was done, I still had a ton of planning left to do, so I worked on it for another hour or so and then figured I’d best run into town and take care of my errands for the week.

Took the dog for a ride with me and got gas, hit the bank, the smoke store, and the puffity-puff store and then headed home. It was after lunchtime when I got back and I was seriously hungry, so I got my sandwich and then went back to working through examples getting ready for class.

Spent a couple more hours doing that and then figured we had plenty (if not more than enough) for today’s class and I started thinking about heading out for a walk. The water bill came in the mail today as well, so that gave me another thing to accomplish on the walk (multitasking 😁).

I did a Zombierun yesterday and didn’t take the dog, so it was his turn to go again today. I let him pick the route somewhat, but we had to go down to pay the bill and I thought we could check out that other trail. Last time we went that way we had to turn around since it was overgrown, but that was a while ago and I hoped they’d cleaned it up (which they had 👍). It’s not very long, though, so we only got about three and a half kilometers in.

Not exactly hot out, but sixties and sunny in November? I’ll take it! ☀️ No hat or scarf or anything today, but I did have my coat on and was comfortable for most of the way. Not sure what Dude’s deal is but he always seems to want to run home (which I take as a challenge) and I was hot and sweaty again on the way back.

It’s crazy how much it’s changed back there! This was a pond earlier this year:

This was actually two ponds split by that ridge where the tire is…all dried up and nobody home now.

There’s still a little water left in this one and I did see a little turtle 🐢 sunning himself on a log, but that was the only wildlife I saw the whole way. 😢

The biggest pond is still there and seems to be just about as full as it was before. Maybe there’s a source somewhere nearby? 🤷

Got backed and grabbed myself a bowl of cereal for dinner, got a shower, and then got set up for class. Today we looked at triple integrals over cylindrical and spherical regions. I really wanted to show them where dV=rho^2 sin(phi) drho dphi dtheta comes from and so I stole some time from next class about Jacobians to show them where it’s coming from both geometrically and formally. We’ll need it for next class anyway, so it was do it now or then, and since it was in context of showing where the dV comes from, I couldn’t wait and just throw it at them for now and say “we’ll prove it next class.”

Still, that meant that we did have several examples left to cover when class finished up, so we got one set up and will continue with it (and a couple more examples) next class and then move on to more Jacobians and change of variables. 🤓

I was hungry after class and still jazzed up, so I made myself a piece of leftover pizza, chatted on Discord a little, played some Wombat games after the daily reset and watched some TV until another fairly late bedtime.

What did I say? The shitstorm was brewing off the coast of my dShitty and now it’s starting to ramp up proper. Got my favorite General Crime today that took a solid bite out of what little SIM income I do get.

For real. 🤬 I only just got my Ego back to zero after the drunks on top of drunks…and guess what?! More drunks. WTF?! I switched over to lessons for now since I figure it’s likely to be growing, if they ever expire, and I might as well get ahead of it.

I think this is the second or third time that I nearly completely forgot about doing this HashKings portion of my post. Long story short, I didn’t sit at the computer and didn’t mess with this. I keep getting all kinds of pings on Discord about all the new ways they come up with to destroy the myriad tokens they’ve created and throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it.(trying to save a sinking ship or just doing lots of stuff poorly?)

While my revenue has definitely cooled off the last couple days, it’s still looking to be holding at about $3 per day more or less on average. There was a five percent pop in the price of DEC, which sort of helps with my outlook, but haven’t moved any out yet (should probably take advantage).

Claimed my SPS interest and nightmare rewards for today and left it liquid again building up to move some out. I’ve paid the last two days rental invoices with SPS as well, so draining that liquid pool slightly, but another day or two and I’ll swap some more out…still need to swap those vouchers sitting there too. I will give it to them, they’ve definitely created some value with this.
