(written on the 30th from notes) Not a lot to say about today. I was up again at 12:45 a.m. for trading, and I did really well!!! I was lucky though. I've had a couple of mistakes because of the clunkiness of trading with a cell phone. 😅 Fortunately, the errors worked out in my … Continue reading 2025-11-08 (Saturday) — Trading Up!

(Written on the 29th and 30th from notes taken previously) Started trading again about 12:45 a.m. (big time-zone difference. 🙃) Almost right away I had a great gain and could have stopped early with like $175 of profit after only just a brief period trading. Buuuuuuut I wanted a round number like $180 or $200 … Continue reading 2025-11-07 (Friday) — Spirits Up

(written on the 27th and 28th from Google Maps stalker data and other memory-trigger data 🙃. And finally got things fixed enough to add a picture of my van to my post for the 1st) Woke up, gratefully able to sleep on the side of the main road in and out of town. Grateful for … Continue reading 2025-11-06 (Thursday) — Let’s Get Organized!

(written on the 26th) Helped a couple of German girls with their car this morning. They were trying to figure out where to put their windshield washer fluid, so I showed them where to put it, but it looks like their washer fluid pump is broken. 😕 Speaking of which (I think it was today?) … Continue reading 2025-11-05 (Wednesday) — Bum Bays

(written on the 26th from notes taken previously) Well... bad morning. I'm on a pretty rough spiral addiction wise--all of them. 😕 Finally got away from the library parking lot probably sometime around noon and started making my way north along the coast. The windy roads through bright green hills brought out my concern with … Continue reading 2025-11-04 (Tuesday) — Mega Conch

(written on November 26th from notes taken previously) I was a bit antisocial this morning. The gentleman doing the van life thing in the van next to me was up early and chilling in a lawn chair next to his van eating breakfast and whatnot. But being a bit antisocial this morning, I stayed in … Continue reading 2025-11-03 (Monday) — Muchos Errandos

(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) Sunday in New Zealand means college football Saturday in the United States. 😅 New Zealand is 20 hours ahead of the Mountain Time Zone I was in before heading out here, which means some football games start at 6:00 a.m. here. It's great. 🙃 Headed into the … Continue reading 2025-11-02 (Sunday) — No Glow, Less Glass

(written on November 25th from notes taken previously) Wasn't the best night's sleep. I was nervous because of my surroundings, not wanting to get in trouble for my very bad decision. I should have just told some people who were in the building the night before that I was hanging out in the building for … Continue reading 2025-11-01 (Saturday) — Of Kitchen Knives and Fingernail Clippers

(written on November 25th from notes taken previously) Woke up early today and headed again down to Les Batkin Reserve on the Waikato River just several kilometers from the rugby place that I've stayed at the last few nights and on my way back to Auckland. Spent a good little while cleaning and organizing the … Continue reading 2025-10-31 (Friday) — Church Camping

(written on November 17th in New Zealand from notes taken previously) I got up later today. The other days that I'd stayed here, I'd left before the kids were heading to school, but not today. Headed over to the Les Batkin reserve to organize myself and figure out what I was going to do today. … Continue reading 2025-10-30 (Thursday) — Sunset Beach
