“Black birds tend to like shiny things” ~ The Bloody Raven

A Quick post for today

This hefty package arrived a few days ago from Nyssacat373 and contained wherein are the silvery goodies that I have purchased over the last five months. It feels much more than I have originally ordered, surprise, surprise. I already know he sent me a black Buffalo Bills T-shirt regardless of who I drew in @monstergoldjam’s Football pool.

So, this is a heads up that I will have plenty to share to the end of the year and I still have lots more planned prior to this package.

As most of you are aware, my home’s lower deck had a flood of bilgewater almost two months ago. Remediation work revealed a bevy of glaring and serious electrical issues behind the walls and ceiling of the rental suite. Electricity and water, not a good mix.



The previous DIY owner of my home was not a professional tradesman and for the sake of safety the electrical needed to be back up to code.

Also, the Electrical panel had mismatched breakers and needed to be doubled to 200 Amps to accommodate the needs of a second family. Separate breakers are required for every major appliance. And finally, a proper electric Car recharge station is recommended. Since everything was opened up, I had to green light the work, kissing almost all of my Emergency Reserve cash goodbye.

That wasn’t all. The previous owner wasn’t any good at plumbing either and there were problems that even my non-trades eye could spot. Oh my galoshes. It looks like I will have to dig into my line of Credit too. DEBT! 😩
But my two sons are just sweethearts and offered to loan me their savings. 💞

It’s been a tough and busy month for me, so I am going to open up a fruity Cooler and for the day enjoy my fifth year as a Hive blogger and my first year as a Dolphin.

And one more thing to tie up. Last weeks post I showed a coin with a problem, and no one identified it yet. So, let’s try this again. For an HBD! What is THE problem with this round?

And yes, It is a BCCN Chinese graded product. It was good enough to fake pass the Chinese grader revealing the lack of competence of BCCN graders.
First right answer in the comments section scores the HBD!

LTC Litecoin is my favorite spending crypto with its cheap fees and fast verification prior to Hive. This slabbed Litecoin round is compliments of my favorite Asian dealer HK Colonial Coins on Instagram who accepted my payments in LTC, but not Hive, yet.

Do you have a favorite spending Crypto? 💰

Stacking Gold, Silver, and Hive for that rainy day.”

And in the first 4 years a thousand hours of lost sleep can't be good for my health in the long run. I got to get more sleep but I can't quit my regular Night Shift job yet.

Thanks for dropping by @emeka4

Congratulations on your fifth year.
I had mine two weeks ago, but it wasn't until April the next year that I actively posted.
I'm curious regarding the slabbed round! 😜
Hugs and kisses, sis. 😜

And I signed on August 2017 but didn't make my first post until January 2018. Back then, I wasn't sure what @pit_bullion got me into.
The LTC round is a gift from Ben from HK Colonial as a customer of his paying in LTC. He says that PP takes too much in fees.
A prime example of fake products out in the markets. He is very good at spotting fakes and to get this from him makes for a humorous commentary between ourselves.

Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️

Not a good start for a new Grading Service to miss such an obvious issue. This just adds to the reputation of fake coins flowing out of China.
This example is a gift from my retailer Ben of HK Colonial coins, a man with a solid professional reputation.

Thanks for playing @olympicdragon

Just noticed the 2500 bump in ecency points. Ecency is new to me but I use it to benefit the blogger's choice of dapp when I curate for #LOH.
One of these days I will use these points.
Thanks @olympicdragon

Dam that package looks heavy. Sorry about the electric and plumbing. I did a kitchen a few months back where are the kitchen wiring was ran behind the backsplash and cabinets. I legally can’t do anything until the electrician fixes it. So it delayed me and the homeowner four days.

I haven't even finished the last delivery yet so I got plenty of silver to showcase past Christmas.
I understand the Tradesfolk, it is often regulations pertaining to WORKSAFE rules and I respect that. So, I got the immediate electrical issues resolved before the plumbers came in to do their part.

Thanks for coming aboard @silverd510

I got a great General Contractor, our kids went to the same private school is how I met him and his wife. He did fine work for me before.
There is no doubt that this work needs to be done.
Never seen a 28.6g ounce until now.
Makes me wonder why the real reason why Chinese Pandas are only 30g. 🤔

So glad you have a reputable contractor, so many out there that are just out for a quick buck, I hope repairs and improvements go quickly, have a great Sunday evening take care!😀

Thanks @littlebee4 , it feels like it been a long haul sacrificing many sleep hours for writing.
What did I expect for a cheap $250,000 65 year old home? At least I am mortgage free.
The coin is not 31.1 g or 1 Troy oz.

Thanks for coming aboard ☠️

The previous owner sure did leave a lot of not so pleasant surprises for you , at least the poop deck is safe and it's nice that you can get a loan from your son's beats a line of credit.

The bank's Line of Credit is there for backup financing back when I still had a mortgage but still kept it. However, my younger son has quite a lot saved up and is willing to loan me enough to cover 65% of the cash deficit but has to wait until his GIC matures in late October. I think his cash savings was meant for college if he so chooses.

Thanks for Commenting @bitcoinman

So sorry sis, about the electrical and plumbing issues. The good news is once it's fixed-it's fixed for good. You strike me as a gal with a plan, so I'm sure you will get your reserves back in order soon.

Take care and have a good week ahead. Enjoy the evening!🤗😘💕🌻. !LADY

It's home for me and my tenant's children.
The house is 65 years old but should have another good 20 years in her.
My Binance account may have to be my last line of cash before my Gold and silver as Reserves until I can replenish it.

Likewise Sis @elizabethbit 🌸

At least I have a Contractor friend who knows his electrical, best I can do is unplug the offending appliance and reset the circuit breaker.

At one time, I had over 150,000 Dogecoin. Collected them from faucets for the fun of it. Now I have slightly over 15,000 left after spending, trading, and giving some away. They were fun to spend alraight, Woof!

Sometimes it feels that way if you're talking in dog years.
It was tough going for the first 3 and a half years but growth is much easier now considering how I could still cram Hive into my busy schedule.

All the expenses and 💩💩💩 you have going wrong with the home I thought a bit of !LADY would brighten your day! @kerrislravenhill

I spent an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with the picture last week and guessed incorrectly.😂

Thanks @ninahaskin 🎂

Silver Stackers would know that a Troy oz is 31.1g and not 28.6g. The Grading service, if it isn't a legitimate grading service, gets a big FAIL! for missing the obvious. Perusing through the Coins category of Alibaba the fakes are a cheap and some do fool most buyers as if the real thing.
Don't buy coins from China unless the seller has a rock solid reputation and verifies by Sigma readout via video or photo of the coin in question.

Haha! In the future I will know to check the obvious: weight! ⚖🔎⚖🔍⚖

Yes, I avoid buying items from China due to fakes, knock offs, and low reputation ratings.

Thanks for the advice and LOH token.
Have a terrific Labor Day weekend! @kerrislravenhill 🖤 ☪️ 🖤
