Plenty of Catch-up Time

I think I now have more time to write in this Blog because of what all happened.

I've since asked about that newspaper void, and circled a couple of different routes. One temporary route is still in the works, and is about 50-50 as of right now.

With the extra time, I took to one of my "Stretching Sportsfan Dollars" topics. (Who would have thought I would have to use them). I made a trip to both the Sterling and Rock Falls libraries and looked at some books that featured ways to save money. I'm not making any, so it's probably best for me to hold on to what I got.

Then I made a trip to the Silver dealer. Once in a grand while I would find silver in the cash register and trade it with a coin from my car. Well, since I'm not going to be surfing cash registers anymore, I figured I'd sell them. One quarter, two dimes and three war nickels - all for $8. It's right about what I expected.

I was going to make a trip to the Chamber of Commerce and put in an advertisement for the rummage sale I plan on having (as a part of Garage Sale Days on 9/24-25). Like I said, some things I kinda need to part with. The rummage sale is similar to the one I had in June - various knick-knacks, sports cards, and the keyboard. The Chamber is asking for $10.00 for the ad in its flyer (which it distributes to local businesses). If I can simply save that $10.00 and print out flyers on my own and place them places, it will be an improvement over last time with no advertising at all (except for two pieces of posterboard).

As far as fuel goes, the next two weeks I only plan on leaving the Twin Cities on two occasions. Everything else, such as Sterling events, will either be on bike or by foot.

Playing tactical analysis such as this can be stressful, too.
