This has been an interesting week for just about anyone invested in the stock markets, precious metals, or cryptocurrency. With the tariffs finally put in place by the US government there has been absolute havoc in the markets worldwide. These losses may prove to be buying opportunities, as markets frequently over react and have some recovery short afterwards.

As I was getting going today I have been dealing with all sorts of things around the house. There's always something that I need to get done, the joys of home ownership! On the list today was to get a few items listed on eBay. I find that if I list a few things every day then I tend to sell a few things every day. While the income may not be horribly high, I'll always take a few dollars over no dollars. And some days those items that sell can be for a few hundred dollars.

Last night I was working through files on my old computer. Many of my pictures and files were a disaster in part because my ex-wife didn't organize things very well, but I'm sure I have a hand in the blame for that one too! While I was going through a folder of older pictures I found an image of a coin that I honestly forgot that I even owned. It's been stored away for years and years, but I decided that I would share it because it's pretty cool.

April Fool's Day has come at last. However, today I won't be throwing any pranks your direction. Being the first of the month, it is a Hive Power Up Day, so that will be the very first thing to take care of before we get onto the regular Three Tune Tuesday. I had thirty liquid Hive so I powered it all up, I also do small power ups throughout the month as a general rule. I have noticed my HP growing much faster this year as a result!

It's a bit of a gray and rainy day today here in southern California. It doesn't happen all that often, but it does make you appreciate the sunny days all the more. It gives me an excuse to get more work done on some of my writing projects, as well as a chance to put together an interesting post.

This little giveaway started over a year ago now, and it has slowly expanded over the ensuing months. When it started I was lucky to have five or six participants and this past week there were forty-three. It's nice to see that everyone still appreciates the contest and as long as you do I'll keep it going!
