5 minute freewrite Monday prompt interactions
This is my post for #freewriters Monday prompt interactions hosted by @mariannewest
After weeks of working on my truck, taking batteries out, buying new batteries, charging batteries, and jumping it with my husband's truck, and still having trouble getting it to start. I decided to have a little interaction with Mr. Google. It did not make any sense to me that we could only get it to start by jumping it. This time I asked Mr. Google about the size of the batteries I need to be to start my truck. When I bought the two new batteries, I did not want to buy the ones that were $120.00 dollars each, I bought the 54 dollar batteries. It turns out even though they are the same size as my old batteries, they do not have the same cranking power. Wal-Mart would not take the ones that I bought back so I only bought one bigger cranking power and left the other one in the truck. It will now start. I am glad I tried this instead of buying 2 120 dollar batteries. It now runs great.
Since my truck was running, once again. I decided to take my boat to the little boat ramp near my house and put it overboard to see if there was any way possible that I could keep it running long enough to fish. It has started every time at the house. The problem with it is, it will only start in full throttle and it dies as soon as I slow down.
I got it in the water, parked my truck, and walked back to the boat. I untied from the dock and because I have to start it in gear, I pointed the bow away from the dock and hit the key. It turned over but did not fire. I tried it several times and never got the damn thing to fire. I was so disgusted that I just sat there drifting in the wind.
All photos were taken by me
Electronic-terrorism, voice to skull and neuro monitoring on Hive and Steem. You can ignore this, but your going to wish you didnt soon. This is happening whether you believe it or not. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
You've been dealing with motors quite a lot it seems to me. I hope that lets up soon.
One down, one to go. I found someone to work on it but he is a long way from my town.
Woohoo! My upvote is estimated at over $1.00! It may not help much toward boat motor repairs, but I hope it helps somewhere. Remember, in a pinch, you can power down some HIVE, convert it to Bitcoin, and at least get a gift card via Gyft to cover some basic expenses elsewhere.
My own upvote appears to be zero (sorry) and I cannot transfer funds out of my wallet, but, inexplicably, I can accept upvote rewards. Go figure. I do try again, periodically, to get these passwords and keys to let me in. Raj808 has offered tips. To no avail. Meanwhile, I feel for you with the mechanical matters that cost so much money. Oh the stories I do not care to tell - quick, quick, put them out of my mind, dwell on brighter things: that's my usual m.o., or you'd hear about my sister's terrible advice to my niece regarding a mechanic at the car dealership (GET A SECOND OPINION, I said).....
Sounds like you need to locate your Active key for wallet interaction. Do you use PeakD, Ecency, hive.blog, or some other frontend?
I've never been able to access PeakD or Ecency - frustrating! - though I saved all those passwords.
Password for Active key has been rejected. I don't understand.... but I should keep trying.
If you can't access your wallet using your Active key, try the next level up instead and use your Owner key.
Congrats on your vote being worth a dollar, I think mine is 3 cents. How do you get it to be worth more? I will have to think about powering down, I am not 100% sure that I want to do that.
It's all about accumulated vests from staking liquid HIVE. I power up almost everything, and I've been here a long while. I also seem to have the fortune of some powerful bot auto-votes, although I'd like to see more engagement on my posts along with those juicy rewards.
I have read the ins and outs of Hive but my brain does not seem to understand what they are talking about. So I do not understand what you are saying here, Not sure what vesting is, I power up but I have my share split 50/50, should I have it at 100% for me? What community do you post to? I do not see many of your posts.
I don't post to a lot of communities with any regularity. I have my followed author feed and my favorited author feed on PeakD. That is how I keep up with people most of the time. I usually power up 100%, although I have used some 50/50 rewards to build up some SBD reserves too.
My goal is to one day understand how Hive works and the right things to do. I do know more than I did a year ago but I know that I have much more to learn.
Take your time.
Well, Mr. Google helped you get one motor fixed, at least ... gorgeous photos, by the way...
thanks
Well, Google can find answers. I prefer Duck Duck Go these days. They protect privacy and don't creep my searches or manipulate the algorithm!
thanks, I had never heard of Duck Duck Go, I will try it.
