Precious Moments and Precious Metals

It's been a couple years since Hive account@mrsbozz and I have been able to camp during the Memorial Day Weekend in the US. Last year we were at a concert down in Ohio that was absolutely phenomenal, and two years ago we were also down in Ohio watching our oldest niece graduate from high school.

Next year we will have to skip camping again on this particular weekend as that same nieces younger sister will be graduating from high school.

One of the good things about camping this weekend is the fact that we were able to spend some time with my wife's best friend Sarah and her husband Hive account@diamonddave. It's been a long time since I have seen David and he has been going through some major medical issues.

I created a Hive account for him quite some time ago, but it was just last night that I finally had him install the Ecency app and I got his account set up so he could start participating on Hive.

This is one of his first posts. I've already talked to him about including some photos in his post. I also encouraged him to do a proper Intro post so people can get to know him a little better before he dives right into the story of his health issues.

Believe me, it's been rough. I've been in close contact with him since all of this started and it has not been an easy path for him. Seeing him for the first time in a while yesterday was a bit of a shock. He has lost over 100 pounds and he almost doesn't look like the same person. He still has his winning personality though and we were soon sitting around the campfire like old times.

As I was towing our trailer to the campground on Friday afternoon. I couldn't help but think of this meme I saw a while ago and I wanted to share it with you. Thankfully, Hive account@mrsbozz isn't that kind of wife, but I secretly I think there are a few times I have scared her with my driving.

Even though she isn't like that, I think we have all been in a car at least once with someone who is. It's a whole different world when you are pulling 7000 to 8000 pounds behind you going 60 to 70 mph down the road! That three mile heads up on someone stopping ahead of you probably isn't so far off!

Also thankfully, Hive account@mrsbozz is a lot more attractive and a lot less "karen" looking than the lady in the photo above!

I'm goin got make a quick shift from precious moments shared with friends this weekend to precious metals. I shared last week about a local silver pourer who has been reselling special items through one of our local bullion dealers. I wanted to share a couple more pieces from him for you folks. These aren't pieces I have purchased myself, but given the quality, if I had the money, I totally would!

These first pieces I saw a while ago and when I showed them to my buddy Hive account@a4xjeeper, I think he actually may have picked one or two of them up when he went to get our Coca Cola rounds. He runs his own business and while my crypto assets may dwarf his, his real world assets dwarf mine. Picking up something like this simply because he likes it requires no second guessing from him.

Personally, I just think the detail is really impressive. Right down to the logo on the grip of the piece. Very cool if you ask me!

This second piece I shared a while ago in the SilverGoldStackers Discord channel. I know there are a fair number of people there who enjoy anything pirate related or ship related. I felt like this piece was something they would really get a kick out of.

These sand cast pieces continue to amaze me each time I see a new one advertised. I have come to understand just how dangerous this whole silver stacking/collecting thing can be. I never really attributed FOMO to concepts outside of crypto before, but I am totally feeling it with these. If I didn't have more self control, I would likely buy every single piece that came across my news feed.

I dropped a referral link my original post from last week. If you want to check it out and look at their online store, go ahead and follow it. They have a loyalty club, so if you buy stuff you earn points. I do as well when you use my referral link.

The weather has been pretty amazing and I am kind of sad that we have to leave to head home tomorrow. This is usually our inaugural weekend of camping for the summer, but Hive account@mrsbozz and I jumped the gun by going a couple of weeks ago. Despite that, it still finally feels like the summer has officially started now.
