I bet the dog loves that you stay up late with him!

How's your progress this week? Do you think you'll hit a new record of comments again? I have noticed that your numbers steadily have risen as well :)

howdy this fine Thursday ecoinstant! well I think he is staying up with me, Jack is.
as far as how I'm doing, I have no idea! I think I'm about similar to last week but I've tried to contact new people but I'm not very good at that, only one or two a day because I'm about maxed out on how many I can carry on conversations with so as much as I enjoy meeting new people, I don't know if I want to get to a place where it takes me 24 hours or more to get back to them, kinda hard to carry on a conversation that way, or am I looking at it wrong?

I never look at any numbers so if they are rising I don't realize it! lol.
what about you? and do you miss your farm in Columbia?

I do miss it, quite a bit. Certain aspects more than others, but the reports are good and I am happy to make way for others to gain responsibility.

I think I am on track to do better than ever, but your raw comment numbers, almost 1200, does seem to me to be pretty elusive. But I have participated in a few contests this week, I hadn't in a while, and won the 2nd round of @papa-pepper's Wild n' Strange! So it has been a great week either way. I am already hedging my bets ;p

yes sir..hey what is that contest Wild n' Strange? I've seen it but never realy checked it out, is that just photos, submitting wildlife photos? or a beard contest? lol.

Hahaha! Beards help but not required! It actually is the most unique contest I have ever seen, on steem or anywhere else, so I would recommend checking it out.

Basically it is a 5 round contest, with a different contest every round!

So the first round is a photography contest, usually has at least one steemian, and the steem logo, seems like he might have relaxed these rules recently.

Round 2 then builds on the winner, its an art contest where you must create art 'based' on the photo from round 1.

Round 3 is a meme contest (thats where we are now!). You turn the art from round 2 into a meme! You could do this right now! I use https://imgflip.com/memegenerator to help me.

Round 4 takes the winner for round three as a muse to right a poem!

Round 5 takes the winner from 4 and turns it into a song performance!

Its brilliant!

wow! no wonder it's called wild and crazy! the prize better be a good one!

by the way, these Alliance people, it sounds like some organisation from a James Bond movie...what is their thing? their main objective?
the name sounds elite, exclusive and powerful.
I don't like it. I'm going to start my own group called the Redneck Brigade to offset the elitists! lol.

Redneck brigade sounds like a very cool group! These guys are just nice people, and I believe they incorporated a number of different groups that started forming last year. I'm only a pledge now, so they have to haze me a bit more before I learn the complete history ;p

The thing is, my mom is in the group and so I think I will get special treatment, and as you know I am always looking for new people to chat with to get that PS score up ;p

Let me know when enrollement is open on the Redneck Brigade!
