Well the ASIC my son ordered from EBay never arrived. After several excuses from the vendor Calum was forced to go through the resolution centre to get his money back. I decided to spend some of the little Bitcoin I had left and went to Bitmain, I checked them out and they have a good rep in the Bitcoin community. So now I am waiting for two Antminer S3's coming from China. The third batch, which mine is part of, begin shipping next week. Add to that the time for shipping and I might be mining coin again by the end of this month. I would have just ordered one unfortunately they weren't allowing anything under two per order. Yes I know what your thinking, one for my son. Sadly not this time as I am still paying Tammy back for the last one I got him. Plus the fact that I have a lot of bitcoins to make back after all the equipment that I have spent my reserves on that didn't work, as well as the latest batch. So no I will be using both myself.
Out in the garden, which the rain is watering nicely today, my remaining plants are doing well. That is other than the cherry trees and my eating apple tree. They aren't doing well at all. Spraying them seems to have little effect. At the start of the season I really thought they were going to do well this year. Next year I will need to make the hard decision on whether ort not to cut them down. If I do I will need to replace the apple tree for the sake of the cooking apple one, which is doing really great. In fact the number of apples on it are weighing it down so much that it has needed extra support to prevent it uprooting itself. So it will give us plenty of pies this year, yum.
