3:35 A.M. Monday 19 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Currently -8 degrees out with a high of one degree (Celsius) expected today (for the Fahrenheit crew that is currently 19 with a high of 34.) Damn heater went BOOM! last night just as I was falling asleep. Faulty pilot ignition sometimes allows gas to build up before the burners ignite and so there is a miniature natural gas explosion when it does it - used to do it 3-4 times each winter but didn't do…
6:40 A.M. Sunday 18 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Well, I hadn't planned on doing it until Tuesday, because the antenna was scheduled for delivery Monday, but they delivered it yesterday instead (Saturday) so... Anyway, this thing arrived in around 90 pieces that I had to assemble and the 'directions' included made about as much sense as trying to tune a piano with a fish. But I found someone that had made an instructional video, so early today I…
10:22 A.M. #Caturday 17 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Currently cold and more cold all weekend until Monday afternoon when allegedly it will reach 2 degrees for a high of the day. High today and tomorrow are both 0 degrees. So I started me up a crock pot/slow cooker batch of chili around 4:30 A.M. my time and it will be done with its 6-hour cook in about 8 more minutes. The weather radar shows ice/snow, but looking out the window there is no…
2:45 P.M. Friday 16 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA I was chasing links earlier checking something out and one went to Instagram - where I have an account I have never used - and it told me my account was disabled for violating their rules or TOS or some such and did I want to contest it and I had 20 days left out of 30 - well, yeah, I wanted to contest it because I don't do anything there so how could I have violated anything? (And I also wondered why I…
7:35 A.M. Friday 16 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA I do not really 'do' Christmas. Regardless of what people want to think, it is not the anniversary of the birth of Jesus, in fact the first time his 'birthday' was celebrated on December 25th was over 300 years after he died. It is simply another made-up day. (I had someone try to tell me it was in the Bible that Christ was born at midnight between the 24th and 25th of December, but the Bible says…
8:00 A.M. Wednesday 14 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA When was the last time you watched a VHS tape on your VCR? I got my first TCL/Roku TV 4 years ago today - and just finally got around to buying the stuff to run the a/v signal (RCA jacks) from the back of the VCR into an adapter which comes out as an HDMI signal that goes to the TV. Now I can start going through the music collection of VHS tapes I have - starting out with R.E.M.'s 'Road Movie', which…
5:25 A.M. Wednesday 14 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Hard Rock Wednesday Band: AC/DC Release: Back In Black Atlantic Records 1980 There will never be another record made like this one. It has sold 25 million copies in the US alone, and several millions more throughout the world. Just as AC/DC was breaking big world-wide, their lead singer, Bon Scott, died from alcohol poisoning. Stepping into his shoes was a relative unknown, Brian Johnson - and this…
When you scold your cat for being on the table and she says she is not on the table, the BOX is on the table and she is on the box...
11:00 A.M. Monday 12 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Finally had an eye appointment this morning to get fitted for glasses, and unless I misunderstood, my Medicare/Medicaid insurance is going to cover all the costs - and if this is so, I wish I had known that a few years ago, I wouldn't have waited so long. I only went now because I knew I could afford it out of my own pocket after getting a small inheritance from my father's death. Now we wait for the…
8:51 A.M. Saturday 10 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA *let it be known I am not saying this is a true story if only because I hadn't thought of it before* So I had this vegetarian ask me why I wanna kill the animals and I said 'cause they taste really good. And he told me that animals have feelings too and deserve to live and I was a murderer and I should become a vegetarian. And *I* said "But cows and many other animals eat vegetables, therefore they…
4:05 A.M. Saturday 10 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA TOTALLY SEXIST POST YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED Tits are great - when I am in the mood to look at tits. Tits are annoying as anything imaginable when I am not looking for them or when the person showing them is probably some guy anyway. And Twitter tits are the worst of all. Accounts keep showing up when I 'explore' my interests - which are solely based around music there - of 'women' who 'like Guns 'n'…
I decided to remove my account at Cashrain. I don't feel comfortable being part of a site who's 'owner' is so at odds with me politically, and the closer I looked, the less I want to be associated with him in any way. But y'all have fun and enjoy the BCH rain. It's there to be had. I just don't want it.
2:45 A.M. Friday 09 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA A Girl and her Skwirl(s). I still get such a laugh out of watching Emoci as she engages in her favorite pastime, Skwirl Watching. And most days the squirrels don't seem very concerned about her watching. They simply go about their squirrelly business as though it was just another day in the park (or in this case, my front yard). However, it appears that her behaviour has rubbed off onto my two male cats…
9:51 A.M. Thursday 08 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Boo hoo, for some reason I have lost 42 followers here since last time I had looked - I imagine they were probably migrated here from Noise.cash and were people following me there that never talked to me (which begs the question why they followed me in the first place) and of course without interaction from them, I never knew who they were anyway, so goodbye and whatever. lol Photo from my archives,…
5:55 A.M. Thursday 08 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Cold, dark, and wet. Three of my least favorite things. But I went out and hauled both trash containers to the curb for pickup this morning, and then came nack in to where the coughee is hot and the cats are warm, only for the cats to decide THEY want to go out in the cold & dark & damp. Oh well... So I made an appointment for my eyes because I need glasses to read anything small, and the dumbasses…
12:50 P.M. Tuesday 06 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Joe Walsh and his 1974 release #SoWhat on the #Sansui turntable this afternoon. This #AudioTechnica is a fairly old cartridge, but I put a fresh stylus (needle) in on a regular basis and it don't sound too shabby over the #Marantz receiver and #Infinity tower speakers.
3:54 A.M. Tuesday 06 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Watching accounts migrating here that have not posted in .cash since January 2021 and have not made a single post here in .app yet. 329,571 Noise.cash accounts - I wonder how many will 'make the change'? I can hardly keep up with the 'Explore' section right now. lol *takes a sip of coughee* 6 more days until my appointment at the eye clinic - I'm really hoping I have new glasses before Christmas, I'm…
Just found my first cashbox on Cashrain and BOOM! got <0.01 BCH ($1.00). Rather cool.
3:35 A.M. Monday 05 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA So I logged in this morning to see my 'followers' had increased by 65 as more people follow the migration. Also started noticing posts that are older than the site (.app) is which flummoxed me for a moment until I realized they were migrated discussions/posts. Emoci found a spot next to me for a nap, she doesn't want anything other than to be close to Dad while she sleeps. And it was 52 years ago today…
2:00 P.M. Sunday 04 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA I usually do not get Sunday packages delivered, and I am not sure why they were in such a hurry to get this to me but I opened the front door to check on the beasts and there was Emoci on the front porch perched on the package just looking around. So I brought the package in and she followed me and as soon as I sat it down she resumed her seat. In case you wonder, the package is new blackout curtains…
4:40 A.M. Sunday 04 December 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA So either the Cashrain site doesn't have a list of communities you are already a member of or I am blind, and the second part is always a good bet. lol And having a 'search' feature isn't really helping since it returns a 'No communities found' result unless you type the full proper community name. Anyway, I joined a half-dozen or so communities yesterday and didn't bookmark them or anything because I…
12:44 P.M. Saturday December 03 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Chicken Ramen noodles with diced chicken and diced tomatoes and sliced jalapenos and lots of people don't like the jalapenos but them babies will help warm you up if it is a bit chilly. Might wanna get some lip balm - I use a LOT of jalapenos. lol
My follower count here is currently 553, my 'import' lists 2526, some of which are already here, many, I am almost sure, that will not appear here. It'll be a little interesting to see how the number changes as accounts are switched over to here.
1:50 A.M. Saturday December 03 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA Since I've been busy 'shrinking' my online 'footprint' quite a bit, I almost left everything over at Noise.cash to The Grim Deleter, but what the hell, I went ahead and started the import to here. Weather is on a downward spiral, I woke up shortly before midnight with the temp at 13 °C/56 °F which is actually today's high temp, by dawn it is supposed to be just above freezing (1 °C) and stay in that…
Well, I am clicking the 'Start Import' button to transfer everything to Noise.app, which means I'll no longer be able to post here, so I'll either see you there or I won't.
Plans are slowly coming to fruition over at Noise.app as the option to transfer all the info from our accounts here at .cash to our .app accounts begins to be rolled out. You can see Simon's post here: https://noise.app/simon/8k0nzlzk
1:10 P.M. Thursday December 01 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA I was starting to wonder where ol' P.T. was at today, usually he's put in a couple of visits before 10 A.M. and here it was already 1 P.M. before he showed up for his first feed.
4:50 A.M. Thursday December 01 2022 Somewhere in southeastern Illinois USA 2022 - the year that finally convinced me I am old and mortal. Now, mortal I figured out 7½ years ago when a stroke dropped me at work and I was unable to walk for a few days and then had to use a cane for a few months. But I was only 55, and 55 ain't old really. And 62 ain't really THAT old, but I began getting serious about music in 1972, and this year (50 years later) has seen many of those I…
Ol' Scar can't seem to recognize the fact that if he didn't want P.T. around the house he should have said something before he let P.T. start coming inside the house, not decide a year later that he doesn't want P.T. to come in the house anymore. Freakin' bratcat.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/coinbase-wallet-quietly-delists-bitcoin-173357768.html I'm hoping that Coinbase's decision to 'end support' for BCH in their wallet does not mean I will no longer be able to sell BCH through Coinbase, I don't really understand this stuff very well.
