So lovely to hear from you Asher. So much so you almost inspired me to write a catch up (more like a restart it's been so long) post of my own.
I've been wondering how you were getting on and have asked you many times via Discord. Just always in my head rather than online. 😁
Last I heard you were buying a property with your excellently timed Hive gains but since you'vve just moved into a rental I'm now wondering if I got that wrong.
I'm probably the only person on the planet who is happy to hear you're not going to Hive Fest. Sooooo selfish! 😁 Tha's cuz I'm in a similar position and not going either but at least I know I won't be missing meeting up with you again. I already had a holiday booked that had been shifted 3 times due to Covid. I did think about changing the flights, yet again, but couldn't summon up the energy in the end. Especially as I've been to Amsterdam a few times already.
Splinterfest was just way too expensive. If I was paying tht sort of money for a trip it definitely would not be to go to Las Vegas.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear you're happy and well.
We spent many a happy hour on the beach this summer, watching people, like yourself learn to paddle board. Most entertaining!
Hope the "40th" is fun.
"See you" in 6 months perhaps?
Hi Gillian!
You were up rather early this morning? Is that to get a prime position at the beach to watch the Paddleboarders? :)
I would say quite well timed, but not excellent, or else I could well have bought a place by now. Hopefully the next run (2025?) will provide me with the funds to do so. A lot can happen in this time though, recessions, ww3, etc - yikes!
For those outside the US, Splinterfest is pretty expensive. Just a month or so in rentals though for you eh? :D
Hopefully you'll 'see' me before, thanks for the message!
Not up too early. I'm in Greece currently and 2 hours ahead of UK time.
I'm not finding rentals particularly lucrative any more. The old cards don't rent as well as the modern ones and I only have the former spare for rent.
In that madness last year I think they actually hit $3K one month. Last week was $58 and I've added more cards. Bit of a contrast. 😂
Better than a kick in the teeth though and better than just sitting there earning zero.
