That white stuff is called snow.
I set of in the AM at around 10 ish to pick this bike up. The journey should have been 1 hour each way in ideal conditions, it though took 1 hour 40 and 1 hour 50 return. Plus the time agreeing the deal plus a lot of extras like the needed gaskets to rebuild it.
At times we could not see the road for snow, everything looked just white and very slippy. The trailer at times took to trying to overtake us in the car, though sideways, fun - fun - fun.
I enjoyed the challenge all the same, as I will enjoy the challenge with regards to repairing it.
I do though now appreciate my usual courier who does it for me, a lot more than I did before.
Bidbots.
With regards to the idea I wrote about before, The emergency and disaster loan/grants fund and a separate account.
I am going to see if it is possible to earn the 10% profit bidbots claim. If it is a 10% positive, I see no reason why this 10% could not fund the whole initiative from the off, with nobody else having to put any steem or sbd towards it.
I would also be willing to power down weekly from the 3000 sp I find myself at after 6 months using this account and put that towards it.
To see if this claim of 10% is true, I shall be boosting this post using 100 steem, via bots, and then working out the total return after 7 days. Outside market forces will make a difference due to price fluctuations.
This is early days, and I am only trying to find a way of this emergency loan fund being self sustaining, and not requiring other peoples donations.
And also trying to find a way to make it so that no interest is required for repayments.
I can see other ways of doing this also, though for now, I will run this experiment, and see the outcome.
If you have any ideas of course they are welcome. It would also be great if I/we could attract a witness who has time to join in, even if it is only to share the keys to the account with, for total transparency, we will see.
The aim is to make small loans or grants to people who are in situations where they find they have no food, electric or other "necessities"... Interest free, or grant based with no repayment.
Could it branch out into steem based employment and a regular wage for them too? I see no reason why not, though the finer details I am still working on at the moment.
Long term solutions and short term loans is the aim of the game. How we get there to be decided, so bring those ideas to the table.
I am not afraid of failing with this.
I am afraid of not trying, nothing changes without people trying. You willing to join in?.....
goes on the hunt via steembottracker now, and loves the statistics game too, it adds to the fun for me, working out the timing of bots, the % earned or lost etc etc etc, I am that person that spends hours looking at football stats including average crowds, boring for some, intriguing for me.
Stay awesome my friends.
