Yeah, you got it. It's why I keep reminding myself to NOT BUY A Cessna 337 Skywagon. I simply don't need it and it would just become a thing to spend money and time on.

So far I've found the best value to be in experiences. Fine food, travel, seeing new things, that sort of stuff. I have enough junk in my life.

I have thought about something like this (someday a private jet), but to be honest someone is flying you and that's a step up I don't want to take.

Personal thought: Best way to travel is Economy Plus/Comfort Plus. The oversize seats are basically the old first class size, and while it's not quite as nice as the business class recline to bed seats, it's totally nice. Unless I am flying from Hawaii (the perfect pit stop) to AU/NZ I'll fly Economy plus. For that run I'll fly lay down and arrive nice and rested.

YMMV.

At 130k (just a smidge over a bitcoin) you CAN buy a Baron 58....



Granted the engines are going to need a replacement in a few hundred hours, but enough time to figure out if you like it.

Just remember, you may look at it one day with the same mix of feelings I get when I look at my $60,000 Wii U....

The new 911's are nice looking, and I went down to the Atlanta track to try one out.

They are.... just raw beasts. Whip you around like a roller coaster, turn off traction/stability control and they just beat you up with both the raw power and torque from those always on turbosuperchargers.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I guess I am comfortable with my classic Porsches. I have a small pony, a sprighty little cheetah, and a high speed barcalounger. I don't need a full sized fire breathing dragon.

Just a personal data point.

Damn dude, I am really sorry to hear this.

Yeah, some of us are getting to that age. The key for me is to try and have a good death as well as a good life, and to remember all the great things about them while acknowleding the sadness that they will be gone. And the memories are good, you can pull them out and in that way they live on in you.

*hugs*

Warming up the locomotives....

There's a shitcointalk as well? Weird, but I guess anything is possible.

All is well, no pictures of trains yet. Guess they are warming up in the roundhouse.

Meantime I'm off to my annual pilgrimage to Vegas this week for Defcon and stuff. Anyone want to grab lunch or dinner?

You know, why bother working when one can listen to great ABBA music?

Still mining? Damn I was just thinking about firing up the S9's......

(Seriously, isn't it great? You can feel like a Greek God, off to meddle in the petty affairs of man.....)

Sorry to hear that GK: I do hope he had a great life, and died in a happy state. That's about the best we can hope for.

It's a good reminder though that at any time any of us can cash in our chips. Regardless on your thoughts of afterlifes, that's it for this chain, so try to enjoy life to the fullest and experience things such that you will have no regrets when you eternal banker shows up.

*hugs*

Mix it with some 5Alive frozen concentrated juice stuff and dry ice in a bucket and you can make a 190 proof slurpee that is delicious.....

(Note: Don't try to cut it with Vodka. It has way too much water for this to work).

Possibly. I'll wait till the ink is dried and signed before taking this into account.

I think 104 is the bottom. Bitcoin's doing fine....

Hey, Motty's still alive! Fujicoin will pop any day now.... :-)

Really? I seem to recall the "shelved shares" just vanished after not going for months with a pool hit. The stats page was down for a long time, then a 2.0 pool was brought up on the old addresses, then that went away.

I mean hey, shelved is shelved and a run of bad luck on the pool simply meant bad luck. Unless someone did an exit run (like they did on Eclipse).

Eh it's just the weak hands shaking out at 111k.

HODL.

A friend pointed this out: Maybe it's time to stop reporting bitcoin price in "dollars" and instead use the more proper term of "millions".

IE: Bitcoin just hit .11 today. Woo hoo!

The beginning is here.
