What did you do today?

Will do this weekend.

Frodo, apparently there are charges for using Etsy. 20 cents to list something and 3.5% of whatever you charged for it (not including sales tax and shipping).
Someone broke down the costs: https://www.etsy.com/teams/7722/discussions/discuss/15395983/

There is no longer a free for editing your listing.

I do know that some people sell things via Deviantart.com as well but I don't know if there are any fees for that.

My bro posted a bunch of pictures from Japan. He went to a bird cafe where there were live owls sitting around. There was a sign that cautioned people that the owls above would poop without warning. He also went to a cat cafe where there were a bunch of cats. I guess it's for people who can't have pets or don't have time for them who want to get to see them. He went to some old temples and seems to really be enjoying himself.

A website alone doesn't sell stuff, because if no one knows about your website then no one will go there.

Advertising is step two.

Did my good deed for the week. Picked up this WWII military CleTrac from a museum in idaho and I am taking down to the planes of fame air museum in california all free of charge.

It is going to be restored to working order. It was used as a tug and maintenance for the military planes.

Pasting from another post because I'm lazy.
Around 8:30pm last night the power went out. I'd already made soup for my brother (Mom woke me up to cook for him) and Mom had a salad I got for her. I hadn't eaten so I decided to go into town to grab something. I noticed the traffic lights were out. Kept driving and found all the fast food places were dark. I drove out to Walmart and it was dark. I pulled in to the parking lot to turn around and noticed carts slung all over the place, trash can lids, and random debris. I saw police cars over at the gas station and saw that the roof of the gas station was scattered in the parking lot. Apparently a tornado touched down last night. I immediately headed over to check on my friends in a trailer park and saw the police were blocking off several roads. Friends were fine but had no power. They asked me to drive them around so we could look at the damage. By the time we got back to Walmart the lights were back on, but the employees were at the door turning customers away.
I parked in a handicap spot and called home to tell them what was going on. As I was talking to my brother, some jerk in a white truck pulled up and stopped next to a riding cart. He jumped out and then picked up the riding cart and tried to put it in the back of his truck but it was too heavy so he dropped it. He was right in front of the store with lights on him, employees looking, and the security cameras were probably on. He then jumped back in his truck and took off. Meanwhile, my friends and I were saying "Did that idiot really just try to steal a riding cart? WTF?" Then we had a good laugh about it. But seriously? WTF is wrong with people? What a moron!
But that just gives you an idea of what this town is like.
Later today I'm going to drive in and see how bad the damage is. I know the tornado hit Maple St but I want to see if my elderly friend's houses on Oak St are ok.

snapped this out the kitchen window bout 10 minutes ago
he is about 50 yards off

Thats neat, I love wildlife.

I loaded two projects onto my trailer to take to Idaho Thursday. Put my free charger and my jeep on there and wish I had bought a bigger trailer. I have about three inches to spare, hope nothing comes loose on the way.

Heading to idaho today after turning the water on at the golf course we repiped and switched to reclaimed. Anyone up for a road trip? Neal I think I won't be living to far from you up there.

You could pop over for coffee, it's only about 14 hours each way.

Drive safely, Chris.

My body has decided to go into the mucus production business-- it's non-profit and highly unpleasant. I threw up in the kitchen trash last night and I haven't been able to drive for the past couple of days. I'm hoping this crud will clear up soon.

My phone lines are out because of flooding-- the boxes with the wires are currently underwater so there is nothing the phone company can do about it until the water goes down and the boxes dry out.

Nevada desert this morning.
