Rating: 3 - Link to this Article 06-06-2014 Grandma Funeral View Webcam for 06-06-2014 NO COMMENTS
Grandma Funeral While it's sad my grandma passed away, the funeral was a great big family reunion that got Lila all riled up and Lucy handed around like a hot potato. I was unable to farm Xbox achievements at this funeral as it as a more rural setting, but the bonfire and polaris rides more than made up for it. It was nice to spend a weekend with my cousin and his family, and Lila enjoyed destroying/hiding his kids toys while Lucy as usual just enjoyed being Lucy.

Bitcoin Dropoff After successfully mining half a bitcoin, I decided it was time to ramp down my operations. On May 25th I sold both of my ASICMiner cubes on eBay (for half of what I paid for them) and purchased two Antminer U2 devices. I couldn't just go cold turkey with bitcoin, but you can clearly see the dropoff that happens when you go from almost 70 GH/s down to a measly 4 GH/s. Hopefully this new (more power friendly) setup keeps the itch away without costing close to $40 / month in electricity. I was also starting to have a thermal crisis in my garage without the cold of winter keeping the temps down. I quit Litecoin and am mining Dogecoin exclusively at work (because Doge).

House for Sale My house is now officially for sale, and today both the sign and first showing arrived. After spending over 30 minutes at the house, they do not appear to have made an offer completely crushing my expectation that the house would sell for the asking price immediately. So begins the long wait for the sucker willing to pay me well over market price for a house with a barn in the back yard.

My increased activity and attention toward my house was bound to bring attention from someone, and that someone was a contractor working for my neighbor. He did the standard sales pitch of "anything you need help with" which I rejected out of habit before remembering my shrubs had not been trimmed since I moved in. Sensing a sucker, I offered him $40 to trim them up and make them look sell able. Surprisingly, this guy did an unbelievable job most likely knowing I'd gladly tip him an additional $20 for making it look professional. I now have to question my standard "no thanks" response when I get solicited by contractor folk, they aren't as hateful of life as Carney folk.

Based only on the perspective from the Gnome cam, everything looks the same to me. Fraud!

With the move to South Carolina looming, it was time to clear out my house of unnecessary crap. If it were up to me, I'd simply toss/sell anything that wasn't electronic, but Lisa feels we need additional crap. Fortunately, my crap is excluded from her requirements so two bagsters were purchased from Home Depot and setup in my driveway. Over the next few days I filled both bags with 10 years of accumulated junk and old furniture then setup the pickup time. At 6 a.m. I was awaken and informed that placing them on the driveway meant I had to sign a waiver for any damage the truck did during pickup. Half asleep, I gladly signed and began taking photos of the whole process immediately. The $200 total cost of the entire process was well worth the entertainment and debris removal, considering the cost of a standard dumpster is upwards of $500. I can't recommend it enough.

Today we were cordially required to attend a "Tranny Race" presented by a radio show to advertise our products while on air. I'm not sure how a radio show benefits from showing product, but I'm not a marketer so I went along with it. I'm also not one to complain about getting an hour outside during work. After filling up on free coffee, and being told the complementary massage chair was full, I decided it was time to get a photo with two trannies. As you can tell, the guy on the right was impressed, as were my co-workers who regarded me with both respect and hesitation for the remainder of the day.

Carnival I spotted the carnival on my way to work and was determined to bring Lila, who is now almost 3 inches over the 42" minimum height requirement. Last year she was only allowed 2 rides in the whole thing which of course prompted a tantrum when I took her home. This year only 2 rides were off limits and I made sure she rode every single one. Lucy didn't seem to mind missing out as she was fully occupied chewing on a straw and laughing at Lila. The carney folk were strangely upbeat which I attributed to it just opening. I found myself surprised when they talked to Lila but maybe I'm just a cynical pesimist and this is the normal carnival experience.

Grandma The bright side of Lisa's grandma passing is that every cousin Lila knows arrives for the funeral. As an Xbox fanboy, it's my duty to bring the Xbox One to all events containing children, including funerals which is totally inappropriate and therefore exactly what I did. Farming achievements with children at a funeral may be the lowest thing I've ever done, but fortunately the parents thought it was a great idea and I was not banished from the state. Lila and Lucy entertained as well and judging by the amount of sleep they had also enjoyed themselves thoroughly

Grandma Knowing my grandma won't be around forever, I was determined to visit her one more time so she could meet Lucy. Despite the alternator failing on the car, then Lisa forgetting documents she needed while the car was locked in the dealership, then raging tornados across our route we managed to and enjoy 2 solid days of grandma time. That's when Lisa found out her grandma had just passed and off we went to the funeral. While Lila proved to be too toddler for my grandma to handle, I was thrilled Lucy brought the same smile to her face as everyone else who holds her.

South Carolina After my colossal SpaceX fail, Lisa and I made a pact that we would move somewhere warm after Lucys 1st birthday. The preceding mega vacation had Charleston, South Carolina as the front runner on account of Lisas aunt and cousins who lived there. While Florida is still my top pick, I said I would take anywhere that has the ocean, palm trees and no snow. Since Charleston fits all requirements I'm ready to relocate. With Lucys birthday in less than 6 months, we decided to scout our future home. After looking at over 20 houses we put $500 down on new construction scheduled to be completed in late October. With that, we were locked into Charleston as our new home. Hopefully my job allows work from home, or I find something equally enjoyable since for the first time in my I don't have a definite financial plan. It's exciting and terrifying, but I know come November I'll be glad we did it.
